HIV-1-related morbidity in adults, Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire: a nidus for bacterial diseases
Article Abstract:
HIV-1-related morbidity was studied in adults in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire, with emphasis on baseline CD4(super.+) cell count. Among symptomatic, ambulatory HIV-infected adults seen at urban community health centers , the overall probability of death at 1 year was 20%, and almost entirely restricted to patients in whom the CD4(super.+) cell count was less than 200/mm(super.3) at baseline. The probability of remaining free from an episode of HIV-related morbidity was 61% for patients with baseline CD4(super.+) cell counts greater than or equal to 200/mm(super.3). Those in the study had access to free, early access to care. Other data are included.

Nonantiretroviral drug consumption by CD4 cell count in HIV-infected adults: A 5-year cohort study in Cote d'Ivoire
Article Abstract:
A cohort of 592 HIV-infected adults during 1292 person-years in Abidjan before the highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) era is followed. On the basis of the exhaustive monitoring of nonantiretroviral drugs actually delivered to the patients and of the real cost of drugs at the cohort center's pharmacy during the period, the mean cost of drugs per person per year overall, is estimated, by the drug characteristics, and by patients' baseline CD4 cell count.

Behavior assessment of blood donors facing the risk of HIV infection, Abidjan, Cote D'Ivoire, 2001-2002
Article Abstract:
How voluntary blood donors modified their behavior according to the serologic status and therefore changed their at-risk practices of transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases is determined. The socio-demographic and behavioral profile of HIV-negative regular blood donors as well as HIV-negative new blood donors are investigated and compared them to HIV seroconverters and blood donors diagnosed HIV positive during their first donation.
