A prospective cohort study was conducted to evaluate the incidence and treatment outcomes of syphilis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in inmates from Central Brazil. In 2013, 3,363 inmates from 12 prisons in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul were recruited, and 1,614 remained incarcerated after 1 year. The inmates were interviewed, and blood samples were collected for serological testing for and HIV infections. Inmates infected with or HIV within the first year were assessed for treatment using prison medical record data, based on Venereal Disease Research Laboratory test results, HIV-1 viral load, and CD4 counts. Acquired syphilis was identified in 5.8% ( = 95) of the inmates and 74% ( = 70) of them demonstrated poor treatment outcomes after 1 year. Multivariate analysis revealed that not reporting a stable partner was a risk factor for failure of syphilis treatment. Twenty-five patients had HIV (1.5%) and among those, 13 (52%) had an HIV-1 viral load > 200 copies/mL after 1 year. The incidence of and HIV infections was 0.5% ( = 9). The poor treatment outcomes of syphilis and HIV within Brazilian prisons demonstrate the inadequacy of public health programs. Although the incidence of these infections within the prison population is low, new cases still occur. Our results reinforce the significance of screening programs during prison admission for early detection and treatment of sexually transmitted infections.

Background:The addicts, especially injecting drug users (IDUs), are one of the hard-to-reach groups in society; therefore, it is necessary to estimate the size of their population to conduct harm reduction and other intervention programs for them. Accordingly, this study was conducted to estimate the population size of IDUs in Sanandaj during 2015. Materials and Methods:A capture-recapture analysis based on three sources of information was used which included drop-in center (DIC) of Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences in Sanandaj, DIC of State Welfare Organization of Sanandaj, and Triangle clinic of central prison of Sanandaj. The population of IDUs was estimated using the capturerecapture method, Bailey's Modification, and Chapman and Peterson-Lincoln estimators. Results: Totally, 27, 59, and 65 IDUs registered in DIC of Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences, DIC of State Welfare Organization of Sanandaj, and Triangle clinic of central prison of Sanandaj, respectively. Finally, the total size of the IDUs was estimated to be 559. It indicates that 24.3% of the cases are under the coverage of harm reduction programs. Conclusions:The prevalence of drug injection in Sanandaj is still high; therefore, it is important to conduct harm reduction programs for this group.

“…Sergipe has a predominantly generalized HIV epidemic, and 3,131 cases of acquired immunodefi ciency syndrome (AIDS) in adults and adolescents have been reported since 1987 (7) . The estimated HIV prevalence among women attending antenatal clinics is 0.42% (8) . Among children < 5 years old, the incidence of AIDS has decreased considerably in recent years from 2.75 cases per 100,000 per year in 2005 to 0.6 cases per 100,000 per year in 2011 (9) .…”

“…While the data were collected from a universal notifi cation system, which increases the external validity, registry data suffer from incompleteness (8) . Additionally, the exposed cases and deaths might have been underestimated, because prior to 2000, most pediatric HIV infections in Sergipe were diagnosed in infants and children who presented with symptomatic disease rather than through screening; therefore, some infants might not have been diagnosed.…”

Introduction: Late human immunodefi ciency virus (HIV) diagnosis is an important cause of HIV-related morbidity and mortality in infants and children. Methods: This retrospective cohort study of HIV-infected children diagnosed in Sergipe, in northeastern Brazil, between 2002 and 2011 aimed to determine the prevalence of and risk factors for late HIV diagnosis. Results: Of 55 infants and children with confi rmed infection, 42 (76.5%) were diagnosed at ≥ 12 months old. No antiretroviral prophylaxis during delivery (OR 5.48,) was associated with late diagnosis. Conclusions: More than 75% of cases were diagnosed late. Efforts are needed to improve early HIV diagnosis in infants.
