  • Utility of self-report antiretroviral adherence for predicting HIV viral load among persons who inject drugs in Hai Phong Vietnam

    Jonathan Feelemyer, Don C Des Jarlais et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2024

    In resource-limited settings, alternatives to HIV viral load testing may be necessary to monitor the health of people living with HIV. We assessed the utility of self-report antiretroviral therapy (ART) to screen for HIV viral load among persons who inject drugs in Hai Phong Vietnam, and consider differences by recent methamphetamine use. From 2016 to 2018 we recruited PWID through cross sectional surveys and collected self-report ART adherence a…

    The COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented natural experiment in drug policy, treatment delivery, and harm reduction strategies by exposing wide variation in public health infrastructures and social safety nets around the world.

  • Mental Disorders Are Associated With Leukocytes Telomere Shortening Among People Who Inject Drugs

    Open AccessMélusine Durand, Nicolas Nagot et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022

    Premature biological aging, assessed by shorter telomere length (TL) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) alterations, has been reported among people with major depressive disorders or psychotic disorders. However, these markers have never been assessed together among people who inject drugs (PWIDs), although mental disorders are highly prevalent in this population, which, in addition, is subject to other aggravating exposures. Diagnosis of mental disor…

  • Gender Differences in HIV, HCV risk and Prevention Needs Among People who Inject drug in Vietnam

    Open AccessHoang Thi Giang, Nguyen Quang Duc et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2022

    We examined gender differences among people who inject drug (PWID) in Hai Phong, Vietnam in term of blood-borne infections, risk behaviors, and access to care. Using respondent-driven-sampling surveys, we recruited 3146 PWID from 2016 to 2018. Inclusion criteria included a positive urine test for heroin and recent injection marks. There were 155 female PWID (4,9%), including 82 at RDS-2016, 32 at RDS-2017 and 38 at RDS-2018. The age mean was 36.3…

  • Maintaining HIV and HCV prevention and care for people who inject drugs despite Covid‐19 in Hai Phong, Vietnam”

    Open AccessHoang Thi Giang, Nguyen Quang Duc et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Drug…2022

    The case of Hai Phong shows that it is possible, during times of COVID-19 pandemic, to maintain access to harm reduction and care and to prevent HIV and HCV transmission among PWID in a resource-limited setting where severe social distancing restrictions are implemented. Further research is needed to assess the consequences of long-term economic difficulties and the impact of actual spread of SARS-Cov2 that has since emerged in Haiphong

  • Exploring beliefs and experiences underlying self-stigma among sex workers in Hanoi, Vietnam

    Jasmine Huber, Nadine Ferris France et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2019

    Sex workers are among the most stigmatised people globally, with sex workers in Vietnam being no exception. Self-stigma affects sex workers adversely, harming psychological health and acting as a barrier to seeking health care. To inform programmes and interventions to improve well-being, identifying unhelpful or negative core beliefs may provide the basis from which individuals can be supported. With this in mind, this study aimed to gain the pe…

    Jonathan Feelemyer, Huong Duong Thi et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs2018

    Methamphetamine use has increased significantly in Southeast Asia in the last 5-10 years, but there is little research on risk behaviors associated with the increase in this region. We evaluate injection and sexual risk behaviors associated with current methamphetamine use among heterosexual persons who inject drugs (PWID) in Hai Phong, Vietnam. We recruited 1336 PWID and assessed associations between methamphetamine use, injection and sexual ris…

  • Female sexual partners of injection drug users in Vietnam

    Theodore M Hammett, Nghiem Thi Ha Van et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2010

    Vietnam's HIV epidemic has been driven by injection drug use, with HIV prevalence among injection drug users (IDUs) of ~30%. Most IDUs are sexually active and may infect their female sexual partners (SPs). Male dominance in sexual decisions is deeply embedded in Vietnamese culture. There have been few HIV prevention interventions for SPs, who represent an important potential bridging population in the epidemic. We report findings from a baseline …

  • Second-trimester abortions and sex-selection of children in Hanoi, Vietnam

    Danièle Bélanger, Khuat Thi Hai OanhARTICLEPopulation Studies2009Cited by: 3References: 17

    Because sex-selective abortions are generally conducted during the second term of the pregnancy, timing of abortion can be used as an indirect way of studying sex-selection by abortion. We examined the likelihood of having a first-trimester vs. second-trimester abortion among a group of 885 married women who had an abortion in an obstetric hospital in Hanoi in 2003. In the absence of sex-selection by abortion, the number and sex of living childre…

    Open AccessDanièle Bélanger, Khuat Thi Hai Oanh et al.ARTICLEPopulation2003Cited by: 8References: 30

    Une faible fécondité et une préférence pour les garçons sont à l'origine des taux élevés de masculinité à la naissance constatés en Inde, en Corée du Sud et en Chine. Dans cet article, nous nous intéressons aux rapports de masculinité à la naissance calculés à partir des recensements effectués en 1989 et 1999 au Vietnam, des statistiques obtenues auprès d'hôpitaux à Hanoï et à Hô Chi Minh-Ville et de l'enquête sur les niveaux de vie au Vietnam ré…
