Correlates of never testing for HIV among men who have sex with men in Nepal
Men who have sex with men (MSM) are disproportionately affected by HIV. Individuals who accessed sexual health clinic services for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) were less likely to engage in high-risk sexual behaviors such as transactional sex and condomless sex and exhibited greater perceived importance of HIV testing. HIV testing is considered the gateway to both prevention and treatment of HIV, enab…
Association between substance use and PrEP adherence among adolescent girls and young women enrolled in an HIV prevention study in Southern Africa
Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in sub-Saharan Africa are at substantial risk of HIV acquisition and could benefit from oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention. Substance use may result in poor adherence, diminishing PrEP effectiveness. The effects of substance use on PrEP adherence in AGYW within the African context have not been extensively studied. We sought to determine the prevalence of substance use and its associati…
Utilisation of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis and preferences of alternative long-acting modalities among men who have sex with men in Hong kong: A cross-sectional study
The higher prevalence of PrEP among MSM indicated an increased awareness over the past decade. However, its promotion could have been hindered by the absence of a publicly funded or subsidised programme. While PrEP users had a higher sexual risk, the utilisation pattern would be affected by the dynamicity of sexual activities. Long-acting injectables had a moderate acceptance rate. Current PrEP users and those anticipated long-term users could be…
Correlates of viral suppression among sexual minority men and transgender women living with HIV in Mpumalanga, South Africa
Sexual minority men (SMM) and transgender women in South Africa engage in HIV care at lower rates than other persons living with HIV and may experience population-specific barriers to HIV treatment and viral suppression (VS). As part of a pilot trial of an SMM-tailored peer navigation (PN) intervention in Ehlanzeni district, South Africa, we assessed factors associated with ART use and VS among SMM at trial enrolment. A total of 103 HIV-positive …
Telehealth use for sexual and reproductive health promotion and care during the early phase of Covid-19 pandemic: A descriptive-interpretive qualitative study of healthcare providers’ perspectives and…
Telehealth emerged as a key option for the provision of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) care and promotion during COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. However, there is limited research on the perspectives and experiences of healthcare providers (HCPs) in the Western-Central region of New York State. This qualitative interpretive study explored the perspectives and experiences of the HCPs’ with telehealth for SRH promotion and care including coun…
Association between mass media exposure and HIV testing uptake in Cameroon
In sub-Saharan African countries, mass media is critical in disseminating health information, including the need for HIV testing. Yet, in Cameroon, there is a dearth of studies examining how exposure to mass media is effective in the uptake of HIV testing. Using the 2018 Cameroon Demographic and Health Survey, we examined the association between exposure to mass media and HIV testing among sexually active women (n = 12,619) and men (n = 5,607). O…
Knowledge, uptake and intention to use antibiotic post-exposure prophylaxis and meningococcal B vaccine (4CMenB) for gonorrhoea among a large, online community sample of men and gender-diverse individ…
Novel STI prevention interventions, including doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis (doxyPEP) and meningococcal B vaccination (4CMenB) against gonorrhoea, have been increasingly examined as tools to aid STI control. There is evidence of the efficacy of doxyPEP in preventing bacterial STIs; however, limited data exist on the extent of use in the UK. We examined self-reported knowledge and use of antibiotic post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), and inte…
Uptake and acceptability of oral HIV self-testing in the context of assisted partner services in Western Kenya: A mixed-methods analysis
Integrating HIV self-testing (HIVST) into assisted partner services (APS) has potential to increase identification of people with HIV in the community, but little is known about acceptability of HIVST among partners traced via APS. We assessed characteristics of APS partners testing with HIVST, and factors influencing HIVST uptake and acceptability in a cluster-randomized control trial on APS+HIVST. Using convergent parallel mixed-methods design,…

Hepatitis C Co-infection in People Living With HIV—Epidemiologic Differences Between Men Who Have Sex With Men MSM and Non-MSM
People living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) constitute a unique group at higher risk of hepatitis C virus (HCV) co-infection. In light of the diverse profiles of PLHIV, we differentiated between men who have sex with men (MSM) and non-MSM in the characterization of the epidemiologic features of HIV/HCV co-infection. Clinical data of HCV co-infection patients from the HIV specialist clinic in Hong Kong were retrospectively collected in…
