HIV Prevalence Among People Who Inject Drugs in Greater Kuala Lumpur Recruited Using Respondent-Driven Sampling.
The HIV epidemic in Malaysia is concentrated among people who inject drugs (PWID). Accurate estimates of HIV prevalence are critical for developing appropriate treatment and prevention interventions for PWID in Malaysia. In 2010, 461 PWID were recruited using respondent-driven sampling in Greater Ku...

Accurate estimates of HIV prevalence are critical for developing appropriate treatment and prevention interventions for PWID in Malaysia. In 2010, 461 PWID were recruited using respondent-driven sampling in Greater Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Participants completed rapid HIV testing and behavioral assessments. Estimates of HIV prevalence were computed for each of the three recruitment sites and the overall sample. HIV prevalence was 15.8 % (95 % CI 12.5-19.2 %) overall but varied widely by location: 37.0 % (28.6-45.4 %) in Kampung Baru, 10.3 % (5.0-15.6 %) in Kajang, and 6.3 % (3.0-9.5 %) in Shah Alam. Recruitment extended to locations far from initial interview sites but was concentrated around discrete geographic regions. We document the high prevalence of HIV among PWID in Greater Kuala Lumpur. Sustained support for community surveillance and HIV prevention interventions is needed to stem the HIV epidemic among PWID in Malaysia. La epidemia del VIH en Malasia se concentra en consumidores de drogas inyectables (CDI). Las estimaciones precisas de la prevalencia del VIH son esenciales para desarrollar intervenciones eficaces para el tratamiento y prevención del VIH. En 2010, 461 CDI se reclutaron por un muestreo dirigido por entrevistadores en Kuala Lumpur, Malasia. Los participantes se sometieron a la prueba del VIH y a una encuesta conductual. Se estimó la prevalencia del VIH para cada uno de los tres lugares de reclutamiento y la para muestra total. La prevalencia total del VIH fue 15.8 % (95 % CI 12.5-19.2 %), pero se presentaron grandes diferencias entre los tres lugares: 37.0 % (28.6-45.4 %) en Kampung Baru, 10.3 % (5.0-15.6 %) en Kajang, y 6.3 % (3.0-9.5 %) en Shah Alam. El reclutamiento alcanzó lugares lejos de los sitios de entrevista originales pero se concentró alrededor de unos regiones. Documentamos una alta prevalencia del VIH entre los CDI en Kuala Lumpur. El apoyo sostenido para la vigilancia del VIH en la comunidad y las intervenciones de la prevención del VIH es necesario para detener la epidemia de VIH en Malasia. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
