Baseline self-perceived risk of HIV infection independently predicts the rate of HIV seroconversion in a prospective cohort of injection drug users.
BACKGROUND The identification of individuals at the highest risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is critical for targeting prevention strategies. We evaluated self-perceived risk of HIV infection and rates of subsequent HIV seroconversion among a prospective cohort study of injection drug users (IDUs). METHODS We performed an analysis of the time to HIV infection among 994 bas...
متن کاملDifferences in the incidence of hepatitis B and human immunodeficiency virus infections among injecting drug users.
Both hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 seroconversions have been considered as outcome measures to evaluate the effectiveness of needle exchange programs. To assess the relationships between incident HBV and HIV infections among injecting drug users (IDUs), seroconversions were prospectively studied among a cohort of 240 HBV- and HIV- seronegative IDUs. The i...
متن کاملHepatitis B Virus Incidence and Risk Factors Among Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 Negative Men Who Have Sex With Men in Kenya
No data exist on hepatitis B virus (HBV) incidence among African men who have sex with men (MSM). We tested plasma samples archived between 2005 and 2014 for HBV core antibody or surface antigen seroconversion in a cohort of 312 initially human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1-negative MSM with no evidence of prior HBV infection. Hepatitis B virus incidence was 6.0/100 person-years (95% confidenc...
متن کاملClinical course of primary HIV infection: consequences for subsequent course of infection.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of the clinical course of the primary HIV infection on the subsequent course of the infection. DESIGN Prospective documenting of seroconversion, follow up at six month intervals, and analysis of disease progression by life tables. PATIENTS 86 Men in whom seroconversion occurred within 12 months. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURE Progression of HIV infection, defi...
متن کاملOn the inclusion of prevalent cases in HIV/AIDS natural history studies through a marker-based estimate of time since seroconversion.
In most cohort studies of HIV infection and AIDS, seroprevalent cases provide a substantial amount of information. Inclusion of these people in natural history studies requires a fairly unbiased method to estimate their seroconversion distribution. When a cohort-based estimate is not feasible, an alternative is to estimate individual seroconversion distributions, based on marker values at entry...
