Effect of a cash transfer programme for schooling on prevalence of HIV and herpes simplex type 2 in Malawi: a cluster randomised trial
View on Elsevier
Viral infections in short-term injection drug users: the prevalence of the hepatitis C, hepatitis B, human immunodeficiency, and human T-lymphotropic viruses.
TLDR
The high rates of HCV, HBV, and HIV infections among short-term injectors emphasizes the need to target both parenteral and sexual risk reduction interventions early, and renewed efforts at primary prevention of substance abuse are indicated.

Risk of hepatitis C virus infection among young adult injection drug users who share injection equipment.
TLDR
It is concluded that sharing of injection equipment other than syringe-sharing may be an important cause of HCV transmission between IDUs.

Tuberculosis and illicit drug use: review and update.
TLDR
An updated review of the relationship between TB and illicit drug use is presented, and proven treatment strategies that incorporate the use of directly observed therapy with treatment for drug abuse are summarized.

Prevalence and incidence of hepatitis C virus infection among young adult injection drug users.
TLDR
The need for wider legal access to sterile syringes, as well as expanded community outreach education to this population of young adult injection drug users, is supported to prevent transmission of HCV.

Developing an HIV Behavioral Surveillance System for Injecting Drug Users: The National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System
TLDR
This is the first behavioral surveillance system of its kind in the U.S. that will provide local and national data on risk for HIV and other blood-borne and sexually transmitted infections among IDUs for monitoring changes in the epidemic and prevention programs.

Prevalence of hepatitis C virus infection among injection drug users in the United States, 1994-2004.
TLDR
The data suggest that the incidence of HCV infection among injection drug users in the United States decreased from 1994 through 2004, and regional differences exist.

Predicting Extensively Drug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis Phenotypes with Genetic Mutations
TLDR
Analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from multinational sites with a high prevalence of drug resistance to determine the sensitivities and specificities of mutations associated with M/XDR TB helped inform the development of rapid diagnostic methods.

Correlates of HIV infection among young adult short-term injection drug users
TLDR
Among short-term injectors, both sexual and injecting practices were important predictors of HIV infection, indicating that a proportion of HIV infections among young injection drug users can be attributed to sexual transmission.
