Bridging the gap
To estimate the prevalence of mpox vaccine uptake and its associated factors among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) in Spain, and to examine, among those who were not vaccinated, their intention to receive the vaccine and the factors linked to that intention. We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from the Spanish subsample of the LIBERO-POX study (October 2022–March 2023), an online survey of adult people ident…

Estimate the Record Linkage Specificity Using Indirect Identifiers – A Birth Cohort Geração Xxi
Mutations associated with viral resistance to integrase in individuals initiating dolutegravir-containing antiretroviral therapy
Retrospective cohort aimed to analyze viral resistance mutations to integrase in people living with HIV/Aids (PLWHA) in Brazil. Patients receiving first-line therapy with a three-drug antiretroviral (ART) regimen containing dolutegravir (DTG), with HIV-1 genotypic resistance test available after starting treatment, were included. Data from three national databases related to antiretroviral dispensing, LT CD4+ cell count and HIV viral load (VL), a…
Combination HIV Prevention Strategies in the Lisbon Cohort of Men who Have Sex with Men
This study aims to examine how HIV prevention tools were used and how they clustered together among men who have sex with men (MSM) testing at a community-based sexual health center in Lisbon, Portugal, from 2014 to 2021. We used data from 16,780 visits from adult cisgender MSM and had an HIV-negative test result at baseline in the Lisbon Cohort of MSM-an open, prospective cohort study conducted at CheckpointLX, a community-based sexual health ce…
Determinants of HIV Testing Among Migrant Men Who Have Sex With Men from Sub-Saharan Africa and Other Regions Residing in 10 European Countries
Migrant men who have sex with men (mMSM) from sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and other regions outside Europe are highly vulnerable to HIV. However, research on the determinants of HIV testing among mMSM from SSA, and how these differ across the categories of mMSM living in Europe, is limited. Using data from the European MSM Internet Survey (EMIS-2017), we assessed HIV testing prevalence and recency in mMSM from SSA and other mMSM residing in ten Euro…
Bias-Motivated Physical or Verbal Violence Among Men Who Have Sex with Men
Introduction Victimization based on sexual orientation or gender identity is a cause for concern. Bias-motivated violence affect not only the individuals targeted but also their communities and societies as a whole. Objective To estimate the proportion of bias-motivated victimization among cisgender men who have sex with men (MSM) and to compare sociodemographic and behavioral characteristics and HIV and syphilis test results between victims and …
Knowledge and Use of PEP and PrEP Among Key Populations Tested in Community Centers in Portugal
Background: Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) have been increasingly available in Europe. Due to the high burden of HIV in key populations, these could benefit from their use. In 2016, in Portugal, an open, non-interval, prospective cohort study was established in a network of 26 community-based voluntary HIV/STI counseling and testing centers. Data collected included questions on PEP and PrEP knowledge and use. …
A Case-Control Study of Contextual Factors for Sars-CoV-2 Transmission
Background: Knowledge on the settings and activities associated with a higher risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission is essential to inform decision-making. We thus designed a case-control study to identify relevant settings for community transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in Portugal. Methods: We evaluated 1,088 cases, identified through the national surveillance system, and 787 community controls, recruited us…
Provision of Preexposure Prophylaxis at the Portuguese National Health Service and Uptake in the Lisbon Cohort of Men Who Have Sex with Men
Eligibility for Pre-exposure Prophylaxis According to Different Guidelines in a Cohort of HIV-Negative Men Who Have Sex with Men in Lisbon, Portugal
Defining eligibility for preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is key to measuring the degree of PrEP implementation. While the clinical exclusion criteria are identical across different guidelines, definitions of substantial HIV risk are not. In this study, we aimed to estimate the proportion of men who have sex with men (MSM) being tested at a community-based voluntary human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) counseling and testing center in Lisbon that wou…
Knowledge about HIV, HBV and HCV modes of transmission among pregnant women in Nampula – Mozambique
The assessment of pregnant women's knowledge about modes of infections transmission is essential to tailor programs to their needs. This study aimed to assess knowledge about human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) among pregnant women in Nampula - Mozambique, a high-risk area for sexually transmitted infections. At their first antenatal visit, women were invited to participate and data were collec…
