Abstract
ABSTRACT This study investigated the factors associated with amplified HIV transmission risk among people living with HIV from a city in southeast Brazil. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 397 people living with HIV recruited in infectious diseases clinics. Data on risk of HIV transmission, sociodemographic characteristics, sexual behaviors, professional counseling, serological HIV status, HIV-related clinical data, and beliefs about risk of HIV transmission were collected through interviews and medical records. Hierarchical ordered multinomial regression analyses were performed. Amplified HIV risk transmission was associated with lower age, alcohol consumption before having sex, illicit drug use before sexual intercourse, and not receiving professional counseling about HIV transmission. The belief that HIV can be transmitted to a partner not living with HIV was associated with lower likelihood of amplified risk for HIV transmission. Our findings suggest the importance of minimizing substance use before having sex, professional counseling, and beliefs about HIV transmission on amplified HIV risk transmission.

[PMID: 37936463 DOI: 10.2174/011570162x262976231026090819] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2023] [Revised: 08/19/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a serious worldwide public health problem and has become the focus of prevention and control in China, while the student population is the key population for AIDS prevention. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on college students' AIDS-related cognitions, attitudes, and behaviors, and to find programmatic strategies for AIDS prevention in terms of changing college students' cognitions and behaviors. METHODS In a cluster randomized controlled trial, 233 undergraduate students were assigned to the CBT group (CBT-based intervention, n=92), the TAU group (treatment as usual, n=72), and the CON group (no intervention, n=59). AIDS-related knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of participants were assessed at pre-intervention, post-intervention, and follow-up. RESULTS After one month of the study, AIDS-related knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors improved in both the TAU and CBT groups, while there were no significant changes in the CON group. The intervention effect was more significant and sustainable in the CBT group compared to the TAU group. CONCLUSIONS The application of CBT in AIDS prevention among college students is feasible, acceptable, and effective. CBT can increase the level of knowledge about AIDS, improve AIDS-related attitudes, and increase willingness to use condoms. CBT is expected to replace traditional health education as an innovative tool for AIDS prevention because of its long-lasting and efficacious nature.

Hepatitis B and C in Immigrants and Refugees in Central Brazil: Prevalence, Associated Factors, and Immunization. Viruses 2022; 14:v14071534. [PMID: 35891514 PMCID: PMC9321471 DOI: 10.3390/v14071534] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2022] [Revised: 06/15/2022] [Accepted: 07/11/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Eliminating hepatitis B and C in immigrant and refugee populations is a significant challenge worldwide. Given the lack of information in Brazil, this study aimed to estimate the prevalence of infections caused by hepatitis B and C viruses and factors associated with hepatitis B in immigrants and refugees residing in central Brazil. Methods: An observational, cross-sectional, and analytical study was conducted from July 2019 to January 2020 with 365 immigrants and refugees. Hepatitis B was detected by a rapid immunochromatographic test, enzyme immunoassay, and chemiluminescence, and hepatitis C by rapid immunochromatographic test. Multiple analysis was used to assess factors associated with hepatitis B infection. Results: Of the participants, 57.8% were from Haiti and 35.6% were from Venezuela. Most had been in Brazil for less than 2 years (71.2%). The prevalence of HBV infection and exposure was 6.6% (95% CI: 4.5–9.6%) and 27.9% (95% CI: 23.6–2.8%), respectively, and 34% had isolated anti-HBs positivity. Reporting a sexually transmitted infection was statistically associated with HBV infection (OR: 7.8; 95% CI: 2.3–26.4). No participant with positive anti-HCV serology was found. Conclusions: The study showed that participants were outside the reach of prevention and control actions for hepatitis B. Therefore, public health strategies must be designed to reach, inform, and vaccinate this group.
