  • Validity of dried blood spot testing for sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections

    Open AccessFrançois Cholette, Simone Périnet et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Testing for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) using dried blood spot (DBS) specimens has been an integral part of bio-behavioural surveillance in Canada for almost two decades, though less is known regarding the use of DBS in surveillance of other sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBI).

  • Community Insights in Phylogenetic HIV Research

    Open AccessFrançois Cholette, Lisa Lazarus et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2023

    Inferring HIV transmission networks from HIV sequences is gaining popularity in the field of HIV molecular epidemiology.

These remote analyses often mean that knowledge is generated in absence of lived experiences and socio-economic realities that could inform the ethical application of ne…

We conducted a cross-sectional survey with 560 women from September 2017 to October 2018. The results of our study demonstrate a diverse sex work environment with heterogeneity across workplace typologies in terms of remuneration, workload, and safety. Women working in higher presti…

    Open Accesson behalf of the Dynamics Study Team, Marissa Becker et al.ARTICLEBMC International Health and…2019

    BACKGROUND: Armed conflict erupted in eastern Ukraine in 2014 and still continues. This conflict has resulted in an intensification of poverty, displacement and migration, and has weakened the local health system. Ukraine has some of the highest rates of HIV and Hepatitis C (HCV) in Europe. Whether and how the current conflict, and its consequences, will lead to changes in the HIV and HCV epidemic in Ukraine is unclear. Our study aims to characte…

    By 2016, Ukraine had the second largest HIV epidemic in Eastern Europe and Central Asia with 280,358 people living with HIV. Interventions targeted for FSWs are a key component of HIV prevention programs as heterosexual contacts continue to gain higher epidemic significance – the proportion of the sexual way of HIV transmission has steadily increased [...]
