  • Reconstructing the Aids epidemic among injection drug users in Brazil

    Open AccessMariana A Hacker, Mariana De Andrea Villas Boas Hacker et al.ARTICLECadernos de Saude Publica2006Cited by: 9References: 28

    The HIV/AIDS epidemic among injection drug users (IDUs) in Brazil has been unique in terms of temporal and geographical contrasts. This analysis explores these contrasts through the use of multilevel modeling. Standardized AIDS incidence rates among IDUs for Brazilian municipalities (1986-2000) were used as the dependent variable, with a set of social indicators as independent variables (covariates). In some States of the North/Northeast, the epi…

  • A window of opportunity

    Open AccessSabrina Alberti Nóbrega De Oliveira, Mariana A Hacker et al.ARTICLERevista Panamericana de Salud…2005

    Few of the injection drug users surveyed had ever been vaccinated against HBV. Although most were aware of the risks posed by viral hepatitis, this awareness seldom translated into consistent behavioral change. The participants' willingness to be vaccinated against HBV suggests that the implementation of vaccination for this population may help decrease rates of hepatitis B infection
