Pimenta,Maria Cristina; Bermúdez,Ximena Pamela; Godoi,Alcinda Maria Machado; Maksud,Ivia; Benedetti,Marcos; Kauss,Bruno; Torres,Thiago SilvaResumo: A profilaxia pré-exposição ao HIV (PrEP) tem sido considerada uma estratégia fundamental para o controle da epidemia de HIV/aids, e desde 2018 tem sido objeto de estudo de implementação (Estudo ImPrEP Stakeholders), realizado no Brasil, no México e no Peru. Um componente qualitativo desse estudo foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de identificar os contextos sociais e estruturais que envolvem e organizam a ...
SARS-CoV-2 testing disparities across geographical regions from a large metropo...
Torres,Thiago S.; Luz,Paula M.; Coelho,Lara E.; Jalil,Cristina; Falco,Gisely G.; Sousa,Leonardo P.; Jalil,Emilia; Bezerra,Daniel R.B.; Cardoso,Sandra W.ABSTRACT After more than a year since the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) disease 2019 or COVID-19 has reached the status of a global pandemic, the number of COVID-19 cases continues to rise in Brazil. As no effective treatment been approved yet, only mass vaccination can stop the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and end the COVID-19 pandemic. Multiple COVID-19 vaccine candidates are under development and some are currently...
Telemedicine as a tool for PrEP delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic in a larg...
Hoagland,Brenda; Torres,Thiago S.; Bezerra,Daniel R.B.; Geraldo,Kim; Pimenta,Cristina; Veloso,Valdilea G.; Grinsztejn,BeatrizAbstract COVID-19 public health responses such as social distancing and community containment measures protocols are critical to preventing and containing the spread of coronavirus. Brazil accounts for almost half of Latin American HIV cases and Rio de Janeiro is the city with the second largest number of AIDS. Clinical appointments and pharmacy antiretroviral refills may be impaired due to restricted traffic a...
Perfis de mortalidade em pessoas vivendo com HIV/aids: comparação entre o Rio d...
Paula,Adelzon Assis de; Pires,Denise Franqueira; Alves Filho,Pedro; Lemos,Katia Regina Valente de; Veloso,Valdiléa Gonçalves; Grinsztejn,BeatrizRESUMO: Introdução: A aparente estabilidade da mortalidade por aids no país na última década encobre uma gama de cenários, com dois terços dos estados apresentando taxa padronizada de mortalidade por aids (TPMA) significativamente acima da média nacional e/ou em tendência ascendente. No Rio de Janeiro, a TPMA vem mantendo-se alta e estável ao longo dos anos; atualmente o estado ocupa a segunda posição no rankin...
Hybrid capture as a tool for cervical lesions screening in HIV-infected women: ...
Jalil,Emilia Moreira; Luz,Paula M.; Quintana,Marcel; Friedman,Ruth Khalili; Madeira,Rosa M. Domingues S.; Andrade,Angela Cristina; Chicarino,JaniceABSTRACT Introduction: Cervical cancer remains an important burden for HIV-infected women in the era of combination antiretroviral therapy. Recommendations for cervical screening in these women diverge and may include high-risk HPV (HRHPV) testing. We aimed to evaluate the clinical usefulness of a single HRHPV testing for cervical screening of HIV-infected women. Methods: 723 HIV-infected women from a Brazilian...
Transmitted drug resistance in patients with acute/recent HIV infection in Brazil
Ferreira,Ana Cristina G.; Coelho,Lara E.; Grinsztejn,Eduarda; Jesus,Carlos S. de; Guimarães,Monick L.; Veloso,Valdiléa G.; Grinsztejn,BeatrizAbstract Introduction: The widespread use of antiretroviral therapy increased the transmission of antiretroviral resistant HIV strains. Antiretroviral therapy initiation during acute/recent HIV infection limits HIV reservoirs and improves immune response in HIV infected individuals. Transmitted drug resistance may jeopardize the early goals of early antiretroviral treatment among acute/recent HIV infected patie...
Acceptability of self-conducted home-based HIV testing among men who have sex w...
Lippman,Sheri A.; Périssé,André R. S.; Veloso,Valdiléa G.; Sullivan,Patrick S.; Buchbinder,Susan; Sineath,R. Craig; Grinsztejn,BeatrizThe Brazilian HIV/AIDS epidemic is concentrated among men who have sex with men (MSM), however HIV testing rates among MSM are not commensurate with their risk. Strategies to expand early diagnosis may include use of self-conducted home-based testing kits, which are now available for purchase in the US. In April 2011 we conducted a survey with Brazilian MSM using Facebook to assess HIV testing preferences and a...
Incidence rate of modifying or discontinuing first combined antiretroviral ther...
Torres,Thiago Silva; Cardoso,Sandra Wagner; Velasque,Luciane S.; Veloso,Valdilea G.; Grinsztejn,BeatrizToxicity is the most frequently reported reason for modifying or discontinuing the first combined antiretroviral therapy regimens, and it can cause significant morbidity, poor quality of life and also can be an important barrier to adherence, ultimately resulting in treatment failure and viral resistance. Elderly patients with HIV/AIDS (≥50 years) may have a different profile in terms of treatment modification ...
Trends in overall opportunistic illnesses, Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, cere...
Coelho,Lara; Veloso,Valdiléa Gonçalves; Grinsztejn,Beatriz; Luz,Paula MendesBACKGROUND:The natural history of HIV infection has changed dramatically after the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy. Currently, opportunistic illnesses still represent a major cause of death and hospitalization in this population. In this study, we review the trends in opportunistic illnesses incidence rates and compare the results observed in high-income settings with that for low/middle-in...
Over-the-counter human immunodeficiency virus self-test kits: time to explore t...
Lippman,Sheri A.; Veloso,Valdiléa G.; Buchbinder,Susan; Fernandes,Nilo Martinez; Terto,Veriano; Sullivan,Patrick S.; Grinsztejn,BeatrizIncreasing access and frequency of human immunodeficiency virus testing are critical to stemming the epidemic. In Brazil's concentrated epidemic, human immunodeficiency virus prevalence in the men who have sex with men/transgender population far exceeds that in the general population, but testing rates fall below what is needed to ensure early detection and treatment. Over-the-counter human immunodeficiency vir...
