Chert procurement for inferring Neanderthal mobility in central western Iberia
Lithic raw material sourcing is one of the most effective approaches for inferring exploitation territories during the Palaeolithic, including for Neanderthals. Certain raw materials, particularly chert, are especially well suited to this type of investigation because the distinctive characteristics of each geological source can be reliably identified through a combination of macroscopic observation, low-magnification analysis, and geochemical me…
Mozambique Stone Age Landscape
Since the publication of our 2016 review mapping the Stone Age of Mozambique (Gonçalves et al., 2016), Stone Age archaeological research in the country has intensified significantly. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of 654 Stone Age sites, including 272 newly documented sites. The recent discoveries in a total of more than 400 sites, discovered primarily through systematic survey campaigns between 2010 and 2025, represent an important…
Acceptability and Usability of Blood-Based and Oral Fluid HCV Self-Testing Among Men-Who-Have-Sex-with-Men and Transgender Women on PrEP
Hepatitis C virus self-testing (HCVST) has emerged as a potential strategy to expand testing among key populations. We assessed the feasibility of HCVST in cisgender men-who-have-sex-with-men (cis-MSM) and transgender women (TGW) on pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). This cross-sectional study included cis-MSM or TGW attending a PrEP consultation in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). Participants performed HCVST using blood-based and oral-fluid kits on the s…
Factors Associated with Low/Moderate Perceived Risk for HIV Acquisition Among Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men Eligible to Use Pre-exposure Prophylaxis from Brazil, Mexico, and Peru
Awareness, willingness and barriers to HIV Self-testing (HIVST) among Men who Have Sex with Men (MSM) in Brazil, Mexico, and Peru
HIV self-testing (HIVST) is an essential tool within the combined HIV prevention package and has been available in Latin America since 2015. However, HIVST use among key populations remains low. This study describes awareness, willingness, and barriers to HIVST among MSM in Brazil, Mexico, and Peru. A cross-sectional web-based survey was advertised in two geosocial networking apps (Grindr and Hornet) and Facebook in 2018. We included cisgender me…
High Rates of Sexualized Drug Use or Chemsex among Brazilian Transgender Women and Young Sexual and Gender Minorities
(1) Background: We aimed to estimate sexualized drug use (SDU) prevalence and its predictors among sexual and gender minorities. (2) Methods: We used an online and on-site survey to enroll sexual/gender minorities people between October-December/2020, and multivariate logistic regression to obtain SDU correlates. (3) Results: We enrolled 3924 individuals (280 transgender women [TGW], 3553 men who have sex with men [MSM], and 91 non-binary), 29.0%…
HIV Risk Perception and Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Awareness Among Transgender Women from Mexico
Barreiras e facilitadores do acesso de populações vulneráveis à PrEP no Brasil
A profilaxia pré-exposição ao HIV (PrEP) tem sido considerada uma estratégia fundamental para o controle da epidemia de HIV/aids, e desde 2018 tem sido objeto de estudo de implementação (Estudo ImPrEP Stakeholders), realizado no Brasil, no México e no Peru. Um componente qualitativo desse estudo foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de identificar os contextos sociais e estruturais que envolvem e organizam a oferta de serviços de PrEP no Brasil, as sub…
Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic on Sexual Minority Populations in Brazil
Human adaptive responses to climate and environmental change during the Gravettian of Lapa do Picareiro (Portugal)
Portable art and personal ornaments from Txina-Txina
This paper reports on preliminary fieldwork at the Later Stone Age site of Txina-Txina in Mozambique. Excavation yielded a long stratigraphic sequence, a large lithic assemblage, a unique decorated gastropod shell fragment and two ostrich eggshell beads-the first of their type recovered from a Stone Age context in Mozambique
High Burden of HIV Infection and Risk Behaviors Among Female Sex Workers in Three Main Urban Areas of Mozambique
Middle and Late Stone Age of the Niassa region, northern Mozambique. Preliminary results
Men Who Have Sex with Men in Mozambique
The population of men who have sex with men (MSM) has been largely ignored in HIV-related policies and programming in Mozambique and there is little information about the contribution of MSM to the HIV epidemic. An integrated biological and behavioral study among MSM using respondent-driven sampling was conducted in 2011 in Maputo, Beira and Nampula/Nacala. Men who reported engaging in oral or anal sex with other men in the last 12 months answere…
