  • Understanding complexities in the uptake of indigenously developed rapid point-of-care diagnostics for containment of antimicrobial resistance in India

    Open AccessMonica Sharma, Raman Gangakhedkar et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    A good point-of-care diagnostic test holds a promise to reduce inappropriate use of antibiotics by enabling early detection of the pathogen and facilitating rapid testing of antimicrobial susceptibility. India has taken many initiatives in the recent past to augment the development and deployment of diagnostics in Indian health care system.

  • Increasing sero-discordancy among young HIV infected pregnant women from India

    Ritu Parchure, Shrinivas Darak et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2019

    The flat-lining of HIV incidence in India has raised concerns about the presence of emerging risk groups. As HIV prevalence among pregnant women is reflective of the situation in general population, its closer scrutiny provides valuable insights about the evolving epidemic. The present study assesses temporal trends of sero-discordance (where woman is HIV infected and husband is uninfected), among pregnant women living with HIV (pWLHIV) from Indi…

  • Pattern of linkage and retention in HIV care continuum among patients attending referral HIV care clinic in private sector in India

    Ritu Parchure, Vinay Kulkarni et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2015

    Continued engagement throughout the HIV care continuum, from HIV diagnosis through retention on antiretroviral therapy (ART), is crucial for enhancing impact of HIV care programs. We assessed linkage and retention in HIV care among people living with HIV (PLHIV) enrolled at a private HIV care clinic in Pune, India. Of 1220 patients, 28% delayed linkage after HIV diagnosis with a median delay of 24 months (IQR = 8-43). Younger people, women, low s…

  • The other side of the bridge

    Elizabeth F Closson, Murugesan Sivasubramanian et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2014

    Behaviourally bisexual men have been identified as a 'bridge' population of HIV transmission to heterosexual women in India. Little is known about the sexual relationships that these men have with their female sex partners. The primary objective of this study was to explore the sexual practices and relationship dynamics between married and unmarried behaviourally bisexual men and their female sex partners in Mumbai, India. In 2009, semi-structure…

  • An exploration of elevated HIV and STI risk among male sex workers from India

    Open AccessPrakash Narayanan, Anjana Das et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2013

    The study showed that MSWs are at high risk for HIV acquisition/transmission, which highlights the need for intensified interventions for personalized risk-reduction counselling and STI screening. Newer biomedical interventions such as pre-exposure prophylaxis and treatment as prevention could also be considered

  • High-risk behaviour in young men attending sexually transmitted disease clinics in Pune, India

    R G Brahme, Seema Sahay et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2005

    The present study reports sexual risk factors associated with HIV infection among men attending two sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinics in Pune, India and compares these behaviours between young and older men. Between April 1998 and May 2000, 1872 STD patients were screened for HIV infection. Data on demographics, medical history and sexual behaviour were collected at baseline. The overall HIV prevalence was 22.2%. HIV risk was associated …
