  • Social and sexual networks of newly diagnosed people living with HIV

    Open AccessElla Van Landeghem, Charlotte Vanden Bulcke et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    This study revealed important differences in the networks of gay-identified MSM, heterosexuals and hetero- and bisexual identified MSM influencing sexual risk taking and prevention behavior. Future prevention initiatives should be inclusive and mainstreamed to ensure to address those who do not identify as belonging established key populations. Awareness of HIV and biomedical prevention should be raised in the general population, providing a base…

  • Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use trajectories and incidence of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections among PrEP users in Belgium

    Open AccessAnke Rotsaert, Tom Smekens et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    The study highlights challenges in PrEP persistence and a high incidence of bacterial STIs among individuals receiving PrEP. Tailored prevention support is crucial for individuals with ongoing HIV risk to optimise PrEP effectiveness. Integrated STI testing and prevention interventions within PrEP care are necessary to mitigate STI acquisition and transmission among PrEP users

  • Patterns of PrEP and condom use among PrEP users in Belgium

    Open AccessAnke Rotsaert, Tom Smekens et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    Our findings show that there is little variation in PrEP use over time and that PrEP use was associated with sexual behaviours, which could be taken into account when designing tailored PrEP care

  • Insights into barriers and facilitators in PrEP uptake and use among migrant men and transwomen who have sex with men in Belgium

    Open AccessElla Van Landeghem, Stef Dielen et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    An interplay of several underlying determinants and barriers impacts on PrEP uptake among migrant men and transwomen who have sex with men, illustrating a social gradient in access to PrEP. We need equitable access to the full spectrum of HIV prevention and care for all priority populations, including undocumented migrants. We recommend social and structural conditions that foster exercising these rights, including adapting PrEP service delivery,…

  • Non-Consensual Sex and Help-Seeking Behavior Among PrEP Users in Belgium

    Thibaut Vanbaelen, Anke Rotsaert et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Sex Research2023Referencias: 2

    Non-consensual sex poses a threat not only to sexual health but also to mental and physical health in general. HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) users might be particularly vulnerable to non-consensual sex because of interplaying factors such as mental health disorders, a high number of sex partners, engagement in chemsex, and the widespread use of dating apps. The objectives of this study were to assess the occurrence of non-consensual sex, it…

  • Covid-19 as a social disease

    Open AccessChristiana Nöstlinger, Ella Van Landeghem et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2022

    Study participants' narratives showed how coping with and responding to COVID-19 was strongly intertwined with socio-economic and ethnic/racial characteristics. This justifies conceptualizing COVID-19 a social disease. At the same time, communities demonstrated resilience in responding to these structural vulnerabilities. From a health equity perspective, we provide concrete policy recommendations grounded in insights into communities' structural…

  • Putting 2-1-1 into Practice

  • Understanding how communities respond to Covid-19

    Open AccessJef Vanhamel, Marie Meudec et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2021

    The experiences of Orthodox Jewish communities in Antwerp demonstrate a valuable example of a feasible community-centered approach to health emergencies. Increasing the engagement of communities in local decision-making and governance structures remains a key strategy to respond to unmet information and prevention needs
