Monitoring progress towards elimination of hepatitis B and C in the EU/EEA
This paper presents data on selected indicators to show progress towards elimination goals and targets for hepatitis B and hepatitis C in the 31 countries of the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA). A monitoring system was developed by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, which combined newly collected data from EU/EEA countries along with relevant data from existing sources. Data for 2017 were collected from t…
Effects of Counselling on Adherence to Antiretroviral Treatment Among People with HIV in Estonia
Suicidality and Associated Factors Among Men Who Have Sex With Men in Estonia
Many studies over the last decade provide strong evidence of elevated rates of suicidality among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender populations compared to heterosexual populations. The aim of the current study was to investigate suicidal ideation and attempts and related factors among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Estonia. We conducted a nationwide Internet-based study among MSM with 265 eligible participants. Our results reveal high r…
HIV and STI Testing and Related Factors Among Men Who Have Sex with Men in Estonia
Suicidal Behavior Among People Living with HIV (PLHIV) in Medical Care in Estonia and Factors Associated with Receiving Psychological Treatment
Non-fatal overdoses and related risk factors among people who inject drugs in St. Petersburg, Russia and Kohtla-Järve, Estonia
PWID are at high risk for overdose. Effective overdose prevention efforts at the public health scale are therefore warranted
HIV testing practices as reported by HIV-infected patients in four European countries
HIV testing constitutes an important strategy to control the HIV epidemic, which therefore merits an observation of HIV testing practices to help improve testing effectiveness. In 2008, a cross-sectional survey among recently diagnosed (≤ 3 years) HIV-infected patients was conducted in Belgium, Estonia, Finland and Portugal. Participants were questioned about reasons for HIV testing, testing place and testing conditions. Univariate and multivaria…
Prevalence of Igra-positivity and risk factors for tuberculosis among injecting drug users in Estonia and Latvia
Socio-demographic factors, health risks and harms associated with early initiation of injection among people who inject drugs in Tallinn, Estonia
Is HIV testing normal or special? Opinions of health professionals in four European countries in 2008
The special norms in testing for HIV infection are not typical of testing or screening for other diseases. In four European countries, we studied health professionals' views on HIV testing This study is based on cross-sectional surveys of two groups of health professionals: presidents of selected health professional societies and head physicians and nurses of selected hospital clinics in Belgium, Estonia, Finland, and Portugal in 2008. A common s…
Expanded syringe exchange programs and reduced HIV infection among new injection drug users in Tallinn, Estonia
In Estonia, a transitional country, a decrease in the HIV prevalence among new injectors and in the numbers of people initiating injection drug use coincided with implementation of large-scale SEPs. Further reductions in HIV transmission among IDUs are still required. Provision of 70 or more syringes per IDU per year may be needed before significant reductions in HIV incidence occur
Risk for Heterosexual HIV Transmission Among Non-Injecting Female Partners of Injection Drug Users in Estonia
A Surveillance Report of HIV Status and High Risk Behaviors Among Rapid Testing Participants in Tallinn, Estonia
HIV infection and risk behaviour of primary fentanyl and amphetamine injectors in Tallinn, Estonia
Knowledge of HIV serostatus and risk behaviour among injecting drug users in Estonia
We used the findings from two, cross-sectional studies of HIV serostatus and risk behaviours to assess the effects of knowledge of HIV serostatus and risk behaviours (relating to sex and injection drug use) among injecting drug users (IDUs). Respondent-driven sampling was used simultaneously at two sites in Estonia (the capital Tallinn, and the second-largest city of Ida-Virumaa County, Kohtla-Jarve). The research tool was an interviewer-administ…
Estimating injection drug use prevalence using state wide administrative data sources
Estonia has rapidly expanding injection drug use (IDU) driven HIV/AIDS epidemic with the highest reported incidence rate and prevalence (1.3%) of HIV in the European region. To evaluate the feasibility of IDU prevalence estimations based on routine nationwide data sources using capture-recapture methodology, and provide estimates of IDU prevalence. IDUs were identified from the Police, Health insurance fund, State HIV reference laboratory data so…
