| changing patterns of anal cancer incidence in the united states, 1940-1989. | anal cancer has been hypothesized to be associated with a sexually transmitted agent and, more recently, with the epidemic of human immunodeficiency virus (hiv). the authors used a descriptive incidence study to evaluate these hypotheses based on us data from the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (seer) program for 1973-1989 and from the connecticut tumor registry for 1940-1988. since 1960, anal cancer incidence in connecticut increased 1.9-fold among men and 2.3-fold among women. base ... | 1994 | 8178790 |

| prevalence of hepatitis c virus infection among clients of hiv counseling and testing sites--connecticut, 1999. | hepatitis c virus (hcv) is a common chronic bloodborne virus infection that affects an estimated 2.7 million persons in the united states. hcv infection causes an estimated 8,000-10,000 deaths each year from cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma and is the leading reason for liver transplantation. because injection drug use is a major risk factor for both human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) and hcv transmission, publicly funded hiv counseling and testing sites (hiv cts) may have a role in hcv pr ... | 2001 | 11475165 |
