Résumé : |
ENGLISH : Objectives: To investigate hepatitis C (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) prevalence in former opiate or heroin addicts currently in methadone maintenance treatment (MMT). Methods: Retrospective chart review for patients (n = 342) currently attending two MMT clinics affiliated with New York Presbyterian Hospital. Results: Overall seroprevalence of those tested was 67% for HCV, and 29% for HIV-1. Co-infection was present in 26% of patients. Prevalence of HCV reached 92% in the 45-49 year old group . The greatest HIV-1 prevalence (45%) was in the 35-39 year old group. There was a linear relationship between infection seroprevalence and age at admission into MMT. Conclusions: The high prevalence of HCV and HIV-1 infections in MMT patients varies both by current age and by age at admission to MMT. This population needs risk reduction education and treatment for HCV and HIV- 1. (Author' s abstract) |
