Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are widespread infectious agents. In developed countries, effective therapies have turned potentially lethal HCV, HBV and HIV infections into chronic diseases with a good quality of life, also in terms of reproductive chances. Serodiscordant status is the condition in which only one partner is HIV, HBV and/or HCV positive. In fertile serodiscordant couples, natural conception should be encouraged following specific prophylactic strategies, while infertile serodiscordant couples should be referred for treatm

Infections transmitted by blood are infections where the infectious agent from the blood of one person is transmitted to the other person. These infections usually occur in hospitals and other places of hospitality. A large number of pathogens are transmitted through blood. Except of bacteria and viruses, as the most common pathogens that are transmitted through blood, there has been proven the transfer of the fungus, parasites and spirochetes through blood. Viruses that are the most frequently transmitted through blood and represent the highest risk of infection are: Hepatitis B virus (HBV),

In patients with chronic hepatitis C, the hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA level is an important predictor of treatment response. To explore the relationship of HCV RNA with viral and demographic factors, as well as IL28B genotype, we examined viral levels in an ethnically diverse group of injection drug users (IDUs). Between 1998 and 2000, the Urban Health Study (UHS) recruited IDUs from street settings in San Francisco Bay area neighborhoods. Participants who were positive by HCV EIA were tested for HCV viremia by a bDNA assay. HCV genotype was determined by sequencing the HCV NS5B region. For a

Abstract:
A critical review of current epidemiological trends and social science research demonstrates that there is an urgent need for expanding the range of female-controlled HIV prevention methods. Existing efforts to control the spread of HIV infection primarily through the encouragement of a reduction in the number of sexual partners, widespread condom promotion, and the control of other sexually transmitted infections are inadequate for many of the world's women. Underlying gender power inequities severely limit the ability of many women to protect themselves from HIV infection, especially in the

Abstract:
Early detection and treatment of sexually transmitted infections, HIV, and hepatitis B and C are vital to minimise the harm they cause. This Evidence Check aimed to identify effective initiatives that engage and support GPs and the GP clinic workforce in NSW to increase testing for these conditions. It also aimed to identify effective modifications to practice management software to increase GP engagement in screening and care for these conditions. Sixty-two articles were found in total. The most effective initiatives used multiple interventions, particularly provider education and quality imp
