| hiv transmission. | a presentation at the 39th interscience conference on antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy (icaac) noted that people with genital warts have significantly higher levels of semen viral load than those without warts. genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (hpv) and are very common among the general population. higher levels of hiv in semen may expose partners of hiv-positive men with genital warts to a greater risk of becoming infected. another session presented statistics showing t ... | 1999 | 11367261 |

| molecular fingerprinting of mycobacterium tuberculosis and risk factors for tuberculosis transmission in paris, france, and surrounding area. | forty-three percent of the tuberculosis cases reported in france are from the ile de france region. the incidence of tuberculosis in this region is 33 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, twice the national average. a restriction fragment length polymorphism (rflp) analysis was performed with clinical isolates of mycobacterium tuberculosis isolated during 1995 in 10 hospitals in paris and surrounding areas to detect tuberculosis transmission and define the factors associated with clustering in this po ... | 1998 | 9466764 |
| [risk of nosocomial pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in immunosuppressed patients non-infected by human immunodeficiency viruses]. | we report four cases of pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (pcp) in human immunodeficiency virus (hiv)-seronegative patients. two of them had been hospitalized for polymyositis treatment near aids patients, respectively 1 and 4 months before pcp. the two others suffered from localized cancer. their evolution was complicated by respiratory distress and death in two of them. a telephone survey among 19 hospital units yielded nine cases of similar patients. they were only observed in wards caring for a ... | 1994 | 8059128 |

| Modest Public Health Impact of Nontargeted Human Immunodeficiency Virus Screening in 29 Emergency Departments. | BACKGROUND: To lower the number of undiagnosed infections and to improve early detection, international health agencies have promoted nontargeted human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) screening in health care settings, including emergency departments (EDs). This strategy remains controversial and has yet to be tested on a large scale. We assessed the public health impact of nontargeted HIV-rapid test (RT) screening among ED patients in the metropolitan area of Paris (11.7 million inhabitants), wher ... | 2011 | 22025095 |
