- - A total of 370 suspected arboviral cases were analyzed, revealing that 38.3% were confirmed as Chikungunya, predominantly affecting young males, with symptoms like polyarthralgia and headache, alongside a significant occurrence of co-detection of both viruses.

Background: People who inject drugs are vastly over-represented, often accounting for 50% of prison inmates, so, the transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and tuberculosis (TB) is a serious problem in many prison systems. The prevalence of HCV infection is so disproportionately high in the correctional population that one in four detainees worldwide is living with HCV and the story is similar for HIV.
Objective: The objective of the study is to find the prevalence of HIV, HCV and dual HIV-HCV infection in the prison inmates.
