2010, International Journal of Infectious DiseasesCitation Excerpt :Because it was randomly selected, our sample of HIV-uninfected women was likely unbiased, and the low prevalence observed could be attributable to the higher specificity of our HCV serology screening algorithm, the sex of our study subjects, their age, and the lack of specific risk factors for HCV infection. Indeed, the prevalence of HCV has been shown to be higher in males than in females,43–45 and to increase with age43 and with risk factors such as a history of IVDU,10–14,44 blood transfusion3,4,44 or a high-risk sexual behavior.5–9,44 Among HIV-infected women, the rate of perinatal transmission of HCV was associated with a high maternal HCV RNA level, consistent with findings reported in studies conducted in other settings.15,16,18,21–26

2009, Journal of Clinical VirologyCitation Excerpt :Comparing the present study to data on HCV genotype distribution in China reported before,8–10 we find that the proportion of genotypes 3 and 6 has increased significantly. HCV genotypes 3 and 6 were traditionally distributed in Southeast Asia.14–16 Southeast Asia is one of the world's most important opium planting and drug producing bases, and Yunnan and Guizhou have been important transfer stations for the smuggling of drugs to other regions of China since the 1980s.11
