THE CASE OF HIV INFECTION IN JAPAN

HIV infection is a known risk factor for cancer but little is known about HIV testing patterns and the burden of HIV infection in cancer patients. We did a cross-sectional analysis to identify predictors of prior HIV testing and to quantify the burden of HIV in black cancer patients in Johannesburg,[r]

Multivariable analysis
Multivariable conditional logistic regression [45, 46] was used to compute adjusted odds ratios (OR adj. ) and their 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CI) for investigating the effect of the number of repeated PZQ treatments on CCA, while controllin[r]
