Using Data

The Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) Network was implemented in Brazil in the 1980s to promote anonymous and confidential access to HIV diagnosis. As a function of the population and dimensions of the local epidemic, the study assessed the network's coverage, using data from a self-applied questionnaire and data from the Information Technology Department of the Unified National Health System (SUS), UNDP, and National STD/AIDS Program. The Student t test was used for comparison of means and the chi-square test for proportions. Brazil has 383 VCT centers, covering 48.9% of the population and 69.2% of the AIDS cases. The network has been implemented predominantly in regions where the epidemic shows a relevant presence, but 85.3% of the cities with high HIV incidence lack VCT centers; absence of VCT was associated with more limited health infrastructure and worse social indicators. A slowdown in expansion of the network was observed, with VCT Centers implemented on average 16 years after the first AIDS case in the given municipality. The number of HIV tests performed under the SUS is 2.3 times higher in cities with VCT centers. The network's scope is limited, thus minimizing the contribution by these services to the supply of HIV diagnosis in Brazil.

<p>Background: The CCR5.32 polymorphism (a naturally occurring 32-bp deletion in CCR5) influences the ability of HIV-1 to infect the target cells. Homozygosity for CCR5.32 prevents infection of HIV-1 R5 strain, while the heterozygous is associated with lower plasma viral load and delayed progression to acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). However, there is no report about the presentation of CCR5.32 polymorphisms in Indonesian HIV patients. The aim of this study is to detect CCR5.32 polymorphisms in Indonesian HIV patients, especially in Voluntary Counseling and Testing Moewardi General Hospital Surakarta, Indonesia. In an ongoing molecular epidemiology study of blood borne virus, 154 HIV patients in Moewardi General Hospital Surakarta were used for the study. The blood samples were collected during November – December 2011. The blood samples were aliquoted and fractionated. The DNA was extracted from all blood samples, and subjected for the PCR assay to detect the presentation of CCR5.32 polymorphisms. Internal amplification control was included in all assays. PCR products were analyzed in 3% agarose. The results showed that CCR5.32 polymorphism was not detected in all blood samples. So it can be concluded that all patients in this study had the CCR5 wild type.</p><p><br /><strong>Keywords</strong>: CCR5.32, HIV, Indonesia.</p>
