Abstract

Itajaí is a port city in southern Brazil with one of the highest incidence and mortality rates from AIDS in the country. The prevalence and incidence of HIV infection were investigated in 1085 of 3196 new HIV-1 infection cases evaluated in the counseling and testing center (CTC) of Itajaí from January 2002 to August 2008. Recent infections were assessed using the BED™, and pol region sequencing was performed in 76 samples. The prevalence ranged from 3.08% to 6.17% among women and from 10.26% to 17.36% among men. A total of 17% of infections were classified as recent (RI), with annual incidence varying from 1.6% to 4.8 per 100 PY among women and from 2.05% to 8.5 per 100 PY among men. Pol sequences were obtained from 38 randomly RI selected individuals: 71% were infected by subtype C, 24% B, 2% D, and 2% F1. Among 38 subjects with established infection (EI), 76% were subtype C, and 24% B. Transmitted drug resistance (TDR) was detected in 18.4% of RI subjects (7.8% to NRTI, 5.2% to NNRTI, and 5.2% PIs) and 5.2% of subjects with EI had NRTI resistance. The high prevalence and incidence of HIV infection in this region is unprecedented in studies involving cases evaluated in CTCs in Brazil.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 October 2015.
All research outputs
#17,286,379
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
#405
of 809 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#167,502
of 279,891 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
#10
of 26 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 809 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.4. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 279,891 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 26 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 61% of its contemporaries.
