“…This is similar to rates reported for Brazilian populations, such as 0.9 to 1.3% for 1993 to 1999 (2) , 1.25% for 2002 (3) , 0.33% for 2003 (4) and an average of 0.28% for 2002 to 2004 (5) . In a survey by Andrade Neto et al (6) for the 1992-1999 period, a much lower prevalence was found (0.149%). Similarly, Barreto et al (7) reported a rate falling from 0.204% in 1995 to 0.131% in 2001.…”

ObjectiveTo determine factors associated with HIV infection in blood donor candidates in Recife, Brazil.MethodsA transversal study was performed of 106,203 blood donor candidates found eligible by the routine clinical screening process in the blood bank in Recife of the Fundação de Hematologia e Hemoterapia de Pernambuco (HEMOPE) in the period from January 1998 to November 2003. Additional indirect immune and western blot confirmation tests for HIV infection were performed and the candidates were classified as HIV positive or negative. The Chi-squared test and stepwise multiple logistic regression were conducted to examine any association between HIV infection and age, gender, place of residence, schooling, number of donations and serological tests for core hepatitis B antigen virus (anti-HBc), the hepatitis C antivirus (anti-HCV), human T-type antivirus lymph cells (anti-HTLV 1 and 2), serological tests for syphilis (VDRL) and the hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg).ResultsIn the observed sample, 0.204% of blood donor candidates were found to be HIV positive. Among the studied variables, the age, education level, residency, donation type, and serologic status for anti-HBc and VDRL tests were found to be associated with HIV infection.ConclusionsThe younger, spontaneous donor candidates living in the Recife metropolitan area with a low level of education and positive for anti-HBc and VDRL have an higher risk of HIV infection than the other candidates. Data such as these are useful to understand the dynamics of infection and to guide healthcare policies.

“…In this study, more males donated blood than females (6.78:1) Table I. The predominant male blood donation is similar to the findings by Orkuma JA et al 31 , Erhabur O et al 21 and Busari FI et al 33 but different from Andrade Neto JL et al 34 study. Studies by Carneiro-Proietti AB et al 17 , Yang BC et al 20 and Cimaroli K 23 also showed male to have higher donor prevalence than female.…”

Background: Blood donors are the backbone of a transfusion service. To ensure a safe and appropriate transfusion service, donor demography is to be optimized for proper strategic management. The purpose of this study was to assess the socio-demographic profile of blood donors to make targets for national interventions and to promote blood donation. Methods: This descriptive type cross sectional study was conducted in Transfusion Medicine department of Popular Medical College Hospital from 1st January 2015 to 30th June 2018. All the blood donors who came to donate blood in this department were included in this study. Their signed consent was obtained to include in this study with their socio-demographic determinants. Frequency, percentage and p value<0.05 were calculated for statistics. Results: Out of the 15702 blood donors, male donors were more with a ratio of 6.78:1. Though the younger age group (25-31 years) showed highest donor population (32.61%), but the younger age group (18-38 years) have maximum donation (86.21%). Unmarried donors were 59.07% among the donors and middle class income group also showed highest donors (59.09%). Student donors (30.55%) were more among the donors. Muslims donors (79.01%) were more than others religious donors. Regarding education level of donors, higher secondary and above level showed highest donation (90.97%) which was statistically significant (p<0.001). Among the donors 78.05% showed their future intension to donate. Conclusions: Works on differences in socio-demographic characteristics of blood donors in times of increasing demand appears to be fruitful to target national interventions and to promote blood donation.

“…Between 1992 to 1999, the HIV prevalence in blood donors aged 18-25 in Curitiba, PR was 0.14% [28]. This age group presented the highest number of donations and the highest number of HIV cases (although HIV prevalence rates were higher amongst 26-35 year old donors).…”

A scoping review of prevalence, incidence and risk factors for HIV infection amongst young people in Brazil

BackgroundDespite young people being a key population for HIV prevention, the HIV epidemic amongst young Brazilians is perceived to be growing. We therefore reviewed all published literature on HIV prevalence and risk factors for HIV infection amongst 10-25 year olds in Brazil.MethodsWe searched Embase, LILACS, Proquest, PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science for studies published up to March 2017 and analyzed reference lists of relevant studies. We included published studies from any time in the HIV epidemic which provided estimates specific to ages 10-25 (or some subset of this age range) for Brazilians on either: (a) HIV prevalence or incidence; or (b) the association between HIV and socio-demographic or behavioral risk factors.ResultsForty eight publications met the inclusion criteria: 44 cross-sectional, two case-control, two cohort. Four studies analysed national data. Forty seven studies provided HIV prevalence estimates, largely for six population subgroups: Counselling and Testing Center attendees; blood donors; pregnant women; institutional individuals; men-who-have-sex-with-men (MSM) and female sex workers (FSW); four provided HIV incidence estimates. Twelve studies showed HIV status to be associated with a wide range of risk factors, including age, sexual and reproductive history, infection history, substance use, geography, marital status, mental health and socioeconomic status.ConclusionsFew published studies have examined HIV amongst young people in Brazil, and those published have been largely cross-sectional and focused on traditional risk groups and the south of the country. Despite these limitations, the literature shows raised HIV prevalence amongst MSM and FSW, as well as amongst those using drugs. Time trends are harder to identify, although rates appear to be falling for pregnant women, possibly reversing an earlier de-masculinization of the epidemic. Improved surveillance of HIV incidence, prevalence and risk factors is a key component of efforts to eliminate HIV in Brazil.
