| [psychosocial factors influencing the intention of women infected with hiv to have a child: study of 12 cases]. | this study documents the factors that influenced the decision of 12 women of child-bearing age whether to have a child in the three years following an infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (hiv). three of the 12 women are intending to have a child, and their intention stems from their beliefs and positive attitudes toward having a child, their partner's positive influence, the absence of their children, their denial of the disease and the absence of symptoms within their family. for the ... | 1992 | 1515521 |
| hiv infection among women in prison: an assessment of risk factors using a nonnominal methodology. | the relative contributions of needle use practices and sexual behaviors to human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) antibody seropositivity among 394 women incarcerated in quebec were determined by risk factor assessment and serology with a nonnominal methodology. hiv positivity was found in 6.9% (95% confidence interval [ci] = 4.6, 9.9) of all participants and in 13% (95% ci = 8.6, 18.6) of women with a history of injection drug use. hiv seropositivity among women with a history of injection drug use ... | 1994 | 7943484 |

| near full-length genomic analysis of a novel subtype a1/c recombinant hiv type 1 isolate from canada. | the rapid introduction of non-b hiv-1 subtypes into quebec, mostly from persons from regions where hiv prevalence is high and where different variants circulate, means that recombination must now be an important consideration in the epidemiologic surveillance of hiv infection. no circulating recombinant form (crf), currently involving exclusively subtypes a1 and c, exists in the los alamos hiv database. this study presents a near full-length genomic analysis of a novel hiv-1 recombinant involvin ... | 2008 | 18366312 |
| transmission clustering drives the onward spread of the hiv epidemic among men who have sex with men in quebec. | phylodynamic analysis and epidemiologic data identified 3 patterns of spread of primary human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection (phi) among men who have sex with men (2001-2009): 420 unique phis, 102 small clusters (2-4 phis per cluster, n = 280), and 46 large clusters (5-31 phis per cluster, n = 450). large clusters disproportionately increased from 25.2% of phis in 2005 to 39.1% in 2009 (χ(2) = 33.9, p < .001). scalar expansion of large clusters over 11 months (interquartile range, 3.5-2 ... | 2011 | 21881127 |
