Mineworkers are considered a population at risk
for HIV due to risk behaviors associated with migratory work
patterns. This was the first study in Mozambique to determine
the prevalence of HIV and associated demographic and risk
behaviors, and assess use and access to prevention and
healthcare services a...
The assessment of pregnant women's knowledge about modes of infections transmission is essential to tailor programs to their needs. This study aimed to assess knowledge about human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) among pregnant women in Nampula - Mozambi...

Background: In resource-limited rural settings, scale-up of services to eliminate mother-to-child transmission of HIV has not been as effective as in better resourced urban settings. In sub-Saharan Africa, women often require male partner approval to access and remain engaged in HIV care. Our study will...

African men who have sex with men (MSM) frequently, and often concurrently, have female partners, raising concerns about HIV sexual bridging. We explored potential HIV transmission in Mozambique from and to female partners of MSM focusing on preferred anal sex role and circumcision status. Data collected...

The use of population-based survey data together with sound statistical methods can enhance better estimation of HIV risk factors and explain variations across subgroups of the population. The distribution and determinants of HIV infection in populations must be taken into consideration. We analysed data...

There is an urgent need to identify tools able to provide reliable information on the cause of death in low-income regions, since current methods (verbal autopsy, clinical records, and complete autopsies) are either inaccurate, not feasible, or poorly accepted. We aimed to compare the performance of a st...
This is the first integrated biological and behavioral surveillance survey among long-distance truck drivers (LDTD) in Mozambique. Using modified time-location sampling in 2012 at a key transportation junction (Inchope), we enrolled 327 male LDTD. HIV prevalence was 15.4 % (95 % confidence interval : 11....

Temos imensa satisfação em apresentar o relatório final do Inquérito Integrado Biológico e Comportamental (Integrated Biological and Behavioral Survey – IBBS) entre Homens que fazem Sexo com Homens (HSH) em Moçambique (IBBSHSH 2011). Trata-se do primeiro inquérito representativo desta natureza c...
A Vigilância Epidemiológica do HIV‐SIDA, permite conhecer diferentes aspectos
relacionados à distribuição e à disseminação da infecção pelo HIV. Dados obtidos por
estes estudos são de fundamental importância para definir programas de prevenção e
controle desta doença. Neste trabalho são...
