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.; 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...

Oliveira,Raquel de Vasconcellos Carvalhaes de; Shimakura,Silvia Emiko; Campos,Dayse Pereira; Victoriano,Flaviana Pavan; Ribeiro,Sayonara RochaFew studies on AIDS that evaluate factors associated with treatment failure have considered the slow evolution of the disease and multiple health state transitions following the use of antiretrovirals. In this article we study factors associated with the progression between different stages of the disease, focusing on therapy adherence using a sample of 722 HIV+ patients followed up for 3 years. States were def...
