Mortality due to non-AIDS-defining cancers among people living with HIV in Spain over 18 years of follow-up.

Purpose: Our aim was to describe non-AIDS-defining cancer (NADC) mortality among people living with HIV (PLWH), to compare it with that of the general population, and to assess potential risk factors.

Methods: We included antiretroviral-naive PLWH from the multicentre CoRIS cohort (2004-2021). We estimated mortality rates and standardised mortality ratios (SMRs).

Drug-related and psychopathological symptoms in HIV-positive men who have sex with men who inject drugs during sex (slamsex): Data from the U-SEX GESIDA 9416 Study.

Objectives: Sexualized intravenous drug use, also known as slamsex, seems to be increasing among HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM). Physical and psychopathological symptoms have previously been reported in this population, although research on the subject of slamsex is scarce. The objectives of our study were to describe the psychopathological background of a sample of HIV-positive MSM who engaged in slamsex during the previous year and to compare physical, psychopathological, and drug-related symptoms between these participants and those who engaged in non-injecting sexualized drug use.

Young adults and HIV. Awareness and risk behaviour of a group living in Spain.

Introduction: Sexual intercourse is currently the main route of HIV infection in Spain. Despite decreases in new infections among women and drug users, the rate remains stable in men. The aim of this study was to assess risk behaviour and HIV awareness in a sample of young adults in Spain.

Hepatitis with a multiple etiology in HIV-positive men who have sexual relations with other men.

Acute hepatitis C virus (HCV) is now a major health problem, mainly in men who have sexual relations with other men (MSM). Hepatitis E virus (HEV) causes sporadic cases of acute hepatitis. In this article, we describe two cases of acute hepatitis due to HCV with an interesting clinical progress.

[Etravirine in clinical practice: Experience in 151 non-naïve patients].

Methods: The reasons, efficacy and tolerability of its use are retrospectively reviewed.

Results: Overall, 151patients started a regimen containing ETV.

[Immigration and HIV-1 infection: clinical manifestations, subtypes and evolution of 78 patients attended during the last 5 years].

Background And Objective: To analyse the characteristics and HIV-1 subtype in a group of HIV+ hospitalised immigrants in our Infectious Diseases Unit.

Patients And Method: Clinical reports of 78 immigrants HIV+ were reviewed. HIV-1 subtyping was carried out examining the protease and transcriptase genes by phylogenetic analysis.
