Hepatitis C Infection Among Pregnant Women in British Columbia: Reported Prevalence and Critical Appraisal of Current Prenatal Screening Methods
A follow-up study of drug users in Southern Iran
Iran has the highest rate of opium addiction per capita in the world. The aim of this study was to examine the outcome of substance use among a cohort of drug users living in a rural area in Southern Iran. A semi-structured interview was conducted at baseline and at each follow-up visit on 211 substance users. Of the total of 211 drug users, 145 were non-injection drug users (non-IDUs) and 66 were injection drug users (IDUs). The most common meth…

HIV and ethnicity in Canada: Is the HIV risk-taking behaviour of young foreign-born MSM similar to Canadian born MSM
There is a dearth of information on the HIV risk-taking behaviour of foreign-born men who have sex with men (MSM) in Canada. This study focused on identifying sexual risk behaviour among MSM who immigrated to Canada and compared them to MSM who were born in Canada. Baseline data from the Omega Cohort in Montreal and the Vanguard Project in Vancouver were combined to form four ethnicity/race analytical categories (n = 1,148): White born in Canada …
Drastic elevations in mortality among female injection drug users in a Canadian setting
The health and social conditions of women living in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside has recently been the focus of substantial international attention. Since few studies have examined rates and correlates of death among addicted women in Canada, we have characterized patterns of mortality among female injection drug users (IDUs) in Vancouver. The Vancouver Injection Drug Users Study (VIDUS) is a prospective open cohort study of IDUs. The analyses p…
Surviving the sex trade: A comparison of HIV risk behaviours among street-involved women in two Canadian cities who inject drugs
In Canada, very little is known about the factors and processes that cause drug-related harm among female intravenous drug users (IDUs). Women who inject drugs and participate in the survival sex trade are considered to be at increased risk for sexual and drug-related harms, including HIV infection. Between September 1999 and September 2000, women participating in the VIDUS cohort in Vancouver and the St. Luc Cohort in Montreal completed intervie…
Health and Socioeconomic Status Differences Among Antibody Hepatitis C Positive and Negative Transfusion Recipients, 1986–1990
Patterns of sexual behavior and condom use in a cohort of homosexual men
To measure the magnitude of risk reduction within a cohort of homosexual men, questionnaire responses in April 1984-March 1985 were compared to those in October 1986-September 1987. A total of 361 subjects were eligible (231 seronegative, 130 seropositive). The annual number of sex partners declined significantly from a median of 8.0 to 5.0 with no difference between the serologic groups. The number of subjects reporting no receptive anal interco…
