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....

This is the first integrated biological and behavioral survey among female sex workers (FSW) in
Mozambique. Using respondent-driven sampling, 400, 411 and 429 FSW were enrolled
respectively in Maputo, Beira and Nampula in 2011-2012. Estimates were produced using RDSAT
7.1. HIV prevalence was 31.2%, 23...

A tuberculose (TB) é uma doença infecciosa que ameaça a humanidade há séculos. Recentemente grandes
avanços foram conseguidos no combate à tuberculose, entretanto a resistência bacilar e a coinfecção pelo
Vírus de Imunodeficiência Humana (HIV) persistem como os principais desafios dos program...

Em 2013, havia no mundo 3,2 milhões de crianças vivendo com HIV, com
91% de infecções ocorrendo em crianças na África subsaariana, através da transmissão
de mãe para filho (Transmissão vertical -TV). E sem nenhuma intervenção, o risco de
TV varia de 15% a 25% nos países desenvolvidos e de 25...

Introduction: Despite significant gains in access to early infant diagnosis (EID) over the past decade, most HIV-exposed infants still do not get tested for HIV in the first two months of life. For those who are tested, the long turnaround time between when the sample is drawn and when the results are re...

There are inefficiencies in current approaches to monitoring patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART) in sub-Saharan Africa. Patients typically attend clinics every 1–3 months for clinical assessment, with clinic costs being comparable with costs of drugs themselves, CD4 counts are measured every 6 mon...

Mozambique continues to face a severe HIV epidemic and high cost for its control, largely born by international donors. We assessed feasible targets, likely impact and costs for the 2015-2019 national strategic HIV/AIDS plan (NSP).
Methods: The HIV epidemic and response was modelled in the Spectrum/Goal...

Regulatory CD4 T cells (Tregs) are critical in maintaining the homeostasis of the immune system.
Quantitative or phenotypic alterations and functional impairment of Tregs have been associated with the development
of pathologies including those of the central nervous system. Individuals with HIV-1/HTLV-1 ...
