High Hepatitis B Prevalence and Vaccination Needs Among Transgender Women and Men Sex Workers in Barcelona, Spain.
Open Forum Infect Dis

Microbiology Department, Laboratori Clínic Metropolitana Nord (LCMN), Hospital Universitari Germans Trias i Pujol, Institut d'Investigació Germans Trias i Pujol (IGTP), Badalona (Barcelona), Spain.
Background: Transgender women sex workers (TWSWs) and men sex workers (MSWs) are especially vulnerable to acquiring hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. We aimed to describe HBV prevalence (hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] and core antibody [HBcAb]) and associated risk factors for HBV exposure (HBcAb), to assess vaccination status and risk factors for no prior vaccination, and to compare HBV prevalence and vaccination status between TWSWs and MSWs.
Methods: The SexCohort study was advertised to TWSWs and MSWs through several communication channels.

Background: Pap cytology is known to be more specific but less sensitive than testing for human papillomavirus (HPV) for the detection of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2+). We assessed whether p16/Ki-67 dual-stained cytology, a biomarker combination indicative of transforming HPV infections, can provide high sensitivity for CIN2+ in screening while maintaining high specificity. Results were compared with Pap cytology and HPV testing.

Long term predictive values of cytology and human papillomavirus testing in cervical cancer screening: joint European cohort study.
BMJ
October 2008
Lund University, Medical Microbiology, University Hospital MAS, 205 02 Malmö, Sweden.
Objective: To obtain large scale and generalisable data on the long term predictive value of cytology and human papillomavirus (HPV) testing for development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 or cancer (CIN3+).
Design: Multinational cohort study with joint database analysis.
Setting: Seven primary HPV screening studies in six European countries.
Cervical human papillomavirus infection in the female population in Barcelona, Spain.

Servei d'Epidemiologia i Registre del Cancer, Institut Catala d'Oncologia, Gran Via km 2.7 E-08907 L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain.
Background And Objective: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a major cause of invasive cervical cancer. Identification of HPV determinants might allow for targeting of high-risk groups for cervical cancer.
Goal: The goal was to estimate the HPV prevalence and its determinants among women from the general population of Barcelona.
Prevalence of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus infection in sex workers and women from the general population in Spain.

Servei d'Epidemiologia i Registre del Càncer, Institut Català d'Oncologia, L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain.
Transmission routes of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) in the general population are poorly understood. Whereas sexual transmission appears to be common in homosexual men, the evidence for heterosexual transmission is less convincing. In our study, prevalence of KSHV infection was examined among women in the Spanish general population and among sex workers.

Objective: To assess whether antibiotic administration changes the rate of materno-fetal infectious morbidity in premature rupture of membranes occurring later than 35 weeks of gestation.
Methods: A prospective, randomized and multicentric study in the Perinatology Units of eleven hospitals in Spain. Women were randomized to either antibiotic administration or control group.
