HIV infection and risk factors among Bangkok prisoners, Thailand: a prospective cohort study.

Background: Incarceration has been associated with HIV infection among injection drug users. However, data on HIV risk factors of the inmates during incarceration are rarely reported from Thailand.

Methods: A prospective cohort of 689 male inmates in a Bangkok central prison was studied during 2001-2002.

Impact of HIV vaccination on laboratory diagnosis: case reports.

Background: It has not been clearly demonstrated whether HIV vaccination can complicate routine HIV testing. In this report, we describe the laboratory data of two prisoners who received rgp120 vaccine in a phase III trial underway in Thailand. These data indicate that previous vaccination may complicate the interpretation of screening HIV diagnostic tests.
