Correlates of national HIV seroprevalence: an ecologic analysis of 122 developing countries

Article Abstract:

Ecologic analyses of social and developmental correlates of country-level HIV seroprevalence suggest strategies for combating the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Countries with the highest HIV seroprevalences tended to have lower total health expenditure, had fewer nurses and doctors, and provided more limited access to essential medications highlights the challenges in providing antiretroviral therapy to HIV-infected patients in developing countries.

HIV-1, sexually transmitted infections, and sexual behavior trends among men who have sex with men in Lima, Peru

Article Abstract:

The trends of HIV, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and sexual behavior among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Lima, Peru, are assessed. The analysis has shown that HIV has continued to spread among MSM in Lima even when a decline in bacterial STIs and increase in condom use are estimated to occur and intensification of medical and behavioral prevention interventions is warranted for MSM in Peru.
