  • bathhouse distribution of hiv self testing kits reaches diverse High Risk Population
    Aids Care-psychological and Socio-medical Aspects of Aids\ hiv, 2016
    Co-Authors: William J. Woods, Emily Agnew, Scott Carroll, Steven A. Lippman, Diane Binson
    Abstract:

    We distributed free OraQuick In-home HIV Test® kits to men at a gay bathhouse. Men were systematically selected to receive a coupon, which could be redeemed that night for an HIV self-testing kit. Those offered the coupon were asked to take an 11-item survey. About 181 men received coupons, of whom 92 (51%) accepted the coupon, and 61 (66%) men redeemed the coupon. Those who redeemed test kits and completed a survey (n = 53) were more ethnically diverse (χ(2) = 100.69, p < .01) than those receiving the coupon. More than half had not tested in the past 6 months (50%) or never tested (7%). Importantly, men who had never tested or who last tested more than 6 months ago were among those most likely to take the free test kit. We found bathhouse distribution could reach a Population of men who have sex with men most in need of improved access to HIV testing. Future studies should consider means of improved follow-up and linkage to care for those who test positive.

  • Study on the Toxoplasma gondii Infection in the High-Risk Population in Jinzhou
    Journal of Tropical Medicine, 2006
    Co-Authors: Chen Shu-ying
    Abstract:

    Objective To investigate the Toxoplasma gondii infection in Jinzhou and provide scientific basis for controlling the disease. Methods Toxoplasma gondii IgM IgG were tested by ELISA in the High-Risk Population of Jinzhou. Results 608 individuals were surveyed. The positive rate of Toxoplasma gondii infection was 10.03%. Among that, IgM positive rate was 5.42%, and IgG positive rate was 4.59%. Positive rates of male and female were 10.09% and 10.06%, respectively. There is no significant difference between the two. Positive rate of unmarried women,pregnant women or gynaecological patients was 10.74%. Positive rates of butcher, pre-employ workers, medical staff,people with pets and people without pets were 14.16%,7.21%,4.17%,13.88%,and 6.61%,respectively. Conclusion Toxoplasma gondii infection is serious in Jinzhou. The positive rate is Higher than that of the national average. The infection rate of the butchers is the Highest. People with pets have a second Highest infection rate and is significantly Higher than that of the people without pets. Therefore, we should strengthen the publicizing on how to prevent and control Toxoplasma gondii infection. Meanwhile, the government department should be aware of the current situation of Toxoplasma gondii infection in Jinzhou.
