Revista de Psicologia da Criança e do Adolescente. - ISSN 1647-4120. - V. 9, n. 2 (2018). - p. 103-112.; O suicídio é um fenómeno preocupante, sendo uma das dez maiores causas de morte em todo o Mundo. Na idade escolar e na adolescência, a ideação suicida é cada vez mais comum, tratando-se de um fenómeno multifatorial. Apesar de uma maior preocupação acerca do tema, a investigação é escassa pese embora a import...
Angola, located in South-Western Africa, has a remarkably low HIV/AIDS prevalence in the adult population (3.7%). It is bordered in the North by the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Republic of Congo that are at the origin of human HIV-1 infections.
The prevalence of transmitted human immunodeficiency virus type 1 drug resistance in Angola in 2001 in 196 untreated patients was investigated. All subtypes were detected, along with unclassifiable and complex recombinant strains. Numerous new polymorphisms were identified in the reverse transcriptase and protease. Two (1.6%) unrelated patients harbored nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor- and nonnucleos...

Angola, located in South-Western Africa, has a remarkably low HIV/AIDS prevalence in the adult population (3.7%). It is bordered in the North by the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Republic of Congo that are at the origin of human HIV-1 infections. It is, therefore, likely that HIV-1 strains circulating in Angola are genetically diverse and representative of the origin of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The aim o...
To investigate which HIV-1 genetic forms are circulating in Angola, we have determined the gag and/or env genotypes of 48 isolates from patients living in Cabinda and Luanda provinces. The following subtypes were identified: A1 (18 samples, 38%), C (7, 15%), H (5, 10%), J (3, 6%), G (2, 4%), A2 (2, 4%), F1 (1, 2%), and D (1, 2%). The env gene fragment was untypable in one sample. Discordant subtype classificati...
