Rapid and effective diagnosis of communicable disease is one of the critical issues of the modern society, especially for detecting different targets at the same time. In this work, a grafti...
There remains a substantial gap in our understandings of the life experiences of patients following HCV cure among HIV-HCV co-infected people who inject drugs (PWID) and men who have sex wit...
Optimal management of patients experiencing persistent low-level viremia (LLV) remains challenging and poorly understood. This study aimed to assess the association between poor antiretrovir...
The novel coronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is responsible for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). First COVID-19 case was detected in March, 10, ...
HIV and hepatitis C virus transmission among people who inject drugs (PWID) is fuelled by personal and environmental factors that vary by sex. We studied PWID in Mexico to identify sex diffe...
(1-3)-b-D-glucan (BDG) is a fungal cell wall component and, in the absence of invasive fungal infection, a novel biomarker for microbial translocation of endogenous fungal products from the ...
Behaviors that are putting people's health at risk are widespread and some of them are on the rise. Some of these behaviors can be prohibited or prevented by taxation. But financial incentiv...
