Prevalência e fatores associados a sífilis entre adolescentes homens que fazem sexo com homens em duas capitais brasileiras
Objetivou-se estimar a prevalência e identificar fatores associados à sífilis entre adolescentes homens que fazem sexo com homens (AHSH). Estudo transversal, multicêntrico que recrutou 199 AHSH entre 15 e 19 anos por meio do método respondent-driven sampling (RDS) entre dezembro de 2020 e agosto de 2022, com aplicação de questionário e utilização de testes rápidos em Fortaleza e São Paulo. As estimativas foram calculadas por meio do software STAT…
What North American retail food environment indices miss in Guatemala
We evaluated the cross-context validity and equivalence of the US- and Canada-originated Retail Food Environment Index (RFEI) and modified RFEI (mRFEI) against a retail food environment dataset from the indigenous-majority city of Quetzaltenango (Xela), Guatemala. The RFEI/mRFEI failed to identify 77% of retailers and misclassified the healthiness of 42% of the remaining retailers in Xela, inaccurately labeling the city a food swamp. The RFEI/mRF…
“We chose PrEP because I wanted to be sure that this child my wife was going to conceive was indeed mine.” Factors influencing the choice of safer conception methods and experiences with its use
The differences in method preferences and experiences voiced by participants in this study and in other studies from the region point to the importance of having a variety of safer conception options in the service delivery package and addressing concerns about paternity, intimacy, and method-related attributes to enable HIV sero-discordant couples to safely achieve their reproductive goals
Preventing HIV and achieving pregnancy among HIV sero-different couples
Safer conception services are needed to minimize HIV transmission among HIV sero-different couples desiring pregnancy. Few studies have evaluated the choices couples make when offered multiple safer conception methods or real-world method acceptability and effectiveness. We piloted a comprehensive safer conception program ( Clintrials . gov identifier: NCT03049176) for HIV sero-different couples planning pregnancy in Zimbabwe to measure feasibili…
A post-outbreak assessment of exposure proximity and Ebola virus disease-related stigma among community members in Kono District, Sierra Leone
Background: Based on findings from other contexts, informed by intergroup contact theory, that more contact is associated with less stigma, we hypothesized that community members with greater exposure to cases of Ebola virus disease (EVD) were less likely to report EVD-related stigma towards EVD survivors. We assessed personal stigmatizing attitudes towards Ebola survivors, which reflects personal fear and judgement, as well as perceived stigma t…
Long-term consequences of food insecurity among Ebola virus disease-affected households after the 2013–2016 epidemic in rural communities of Kono District, Sierra Leone
The 2013–2016 Ebola virus disease (EVD) epidemic caused food insecurity during and immediately following local outbreaks in Sierra Leone, but longer-term effects are less well described, particularly among households with no EVD survivors. We conducted a qualitative sub-study in July 2018 in Kono District, Sierra Leone to understand the impact of food insecurity on EVD-affected households. Using data from a community-based cohort, we compiled a l…
Outdoor Activities Associated with Lower Odds of Sars-CoV-2 Acquisition
Access to recreational physical activities, particularly in outdoor spaces, has been a crucial outlet for physical and mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a need to understand how conducting these activities modulates the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection. In this case-control study of unvaccinated individuals conducted in San Francisco, California, the odds of testing positive to SARS-CoV-2 were lower for those who conducted physical…
All-cause and cause-specific mortality rates for Kisumu County
Background Understanding the magnitude and causes of mortality at national and sub-national levels for countries is critical in facilitating evidence-based prioritization of public health response. We provide comparable cause of death data from Kisumu County, a high HIV and malaria-endemic county in Kenya, and compared them with Kenya and low-and-middle income countries (LMICs). Methods We analyzed data from a mortuary-based study at two of the l…
Behind bars
BACKGROUND: Brazil has the third largest prison population in the world. In 2016, the female prison population totaled 42,000, an increase of 656% over the population recorded in the early 2000s. The objective of this study was to describe the socialeconomic and reproductive health of women in Brazilian prisons, and the specific assistance received within the prison system. METHODS: This is a first of its kind national survey conducted in 15 fema…
Screening for Park Access during a Primary Care Social Determinants Screen
Clinical interventions to increase park access would benefit from an understanding of the social and economic adversity faced by patients
The Association of Knowledge, Attitudes and Access with Park Use before and after a Park-Prescription Intervention for Low-Income Families in the U.S
We conducted secondary data analyses of pooled data from a clinical trial that prescribed park visits to children and their caregivers in a low-income, urban setting. Data were collected at the prescribing visit (baseline) and at one and three months of follow up from 78 families. Family characteristics were identified at baseline; regression models were used to explore changes during follow up in associations of park use with knowledge, attitude…
Understanding why HIV-infected persons disengaged from pre-ART care in Freetown, Sierra Leone
In countries that have not implemented universal antiretroviral treatment (ART), loss to follow-up (LTFU) during pre-ART care remains a problem. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 41 HIV-infected persons who were LTFU during pre-ART care from a prospective cohort of persons newly diagnosed with HIV infection in Freetown, Sierra Leone, in 2012-2013. Interviews determined whether the participant disengaged or transferred care and explored…

Risk factors for unplanned sex among university students in Kampala, Uganda
There is inadequate in-depth information on the risk factors for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among university students in Uganda, and more so of those that are unrelated to alcohol and drug use. ‘Unplanned sex’ is defined here as sexual intercourse that a person or individual decides out of free will as undesired. We conducted cross-sectional in-depth qualitative study with 23 students (52% female…
Developing WHO guidelines with pragmatic, structured, evidence-based processes
Many guidelines, including those produced by the World Health Organisation (WHO), have failed to adhere to rigorous methodological standards. Operational examples of guideline development processes may provide important lessons learned to improve the rigour and quality of future guidelines. To this end, this paper describes the process of developing WHO guidelines on prevention and care interventions for adults and adolescents living with HIV. Us…
Public health triangulation
Nonetheless, we believe that public health triangulation allows for the interpretation of data sets that cannot be analyzed using meta-analysis and can be a helpful adjunct to surveillance, to formal public health intervention research and to monitoring and evaluation, which in turn lead to improved national strategic planning and resource allocation

HIV seroconversion in two homosexual men after receptive oral intercourse with ejaculation
Seroconversion for HIV antibody occurred in two homosexual men who reported no anal intercourse for greater than or equal to 5 years and multiple episodes of receptive oral intercourse with ejaculation. Neither man reported intravenous drug use or receipt of blood products. The last antibody-negative specimen was also negative by the polymerase chain reaction and p24 antigen assays. All sexually active persons should be clearly counselled that re…
