Comparison of combined HIV prevention interventions for prisoners
HIV prevalence among incarcerated populations is three to four times higher than in the general population, driven by overcrowding, stigma, limited healthcare access, and high-risk behaviors. This systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis, conducted according to PRISMA-NMA 2020 guidelines, evaluated combined HIV prevention strategies in prisons. Six randomized or quasi-experimental studies published between 2014 and 2020, including 2.4…
Increase in syphilis among men who have sex with men in Brazil
This article aims to report the prevalence of syphilis and its associated factors among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Brazil. Respondent-driven sampling was conducted in 12 cities in Brazil between June and December 2016. The target sample size was 350 MSM in each city. Five to six seeds were selected to initiate recruitment and coupons and interviews were conducted online. MSM were considered syphilis-positive if the RST+ and Venereal Disea…
Network meta-analytical evaluations of the performance of HIV combination prevention strategies for transsexual populations
Combination HIV prevention approaches, integrating behavioral, biomedical, and social components, have shown promise but remain under-evaluated in trans-specific contexts. This work aimed to compare the effectiveness of different HIV prevention strategies among transgender populations through a network meta-analysis. A systematic search was conducted through PRISMA-NMA 2020 across PubMed, SciELO, LILACS, and Science Direct (2000-2025) using descr…
Aids in the Brazilian Amazon
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), remains a major public health problem in Brazil. Infection rates vary greatly between regions and states. The North region, in particular, has a higher number of cases, making it a long-lasting challenge, especially in a region with many social and economic challenges. This ecological, descriptive, and analytical study examined AIDS trends across Northern…
HIV incidence trends in Brazil and neighboring countries
Introduction: The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a global public health problem. In Latin America this problem is aggravating and widespread, with regard to the countries bordering Brazil, the notification of cases among men and women shows an aggravating panorama, which requires actions and services aimed at monitoring and changing this chain of transmission. Objective: To investigate the trend of HIV incidence in Brazil and neighboring c…
Prevalence of Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy in Brazil
Covid-19 among health care workers in Brazil
OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence and disparities of COVID-19 among health care workers in Brazil. METHODS: A survey was conducted among health care workers in five Brazilian cities. Disparities in the prevalence of COVID-19 were analyzed by professional category and region (North/Northeast versus South/Southeast). RESULTS: The sample was composed of 2,499 health care workers: 601 (24.1%) nursing technicians, 1,095 (43.8%) registered nurses,…
A Clinical-Epidemiological and Geospatial Study of Tuberculosis in a Neglected Area in the Amazonian Region Highlights the Urgent Need for Control Measures
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious communicable disease, which despite global efforts, still needs special attention in regions with difficult access. This study aims to describe the spatial and epidemiological trends of TB incidences from 2013 to 2018 in Marajó Island, the Amazonian region, Pará, Brazil. We have obtained secondary data from the Brazilian TB databases and performed geospatial and statistical analyses on the data for new TB cases,…
Socio-Epidemiological Features and Spatial Distribution of Malaria in an Area under Mining Activity in the Brazilian Amazon Region
Malaria is an acute febrile infectious disease that represents an important public health problem in the Brazilian amazon region. The present study described the socio-epidemiological and spatial characteristics of malaria in a population from the Tapajós mining areas, Pará, Brazilian Amazon. A cross-sectional study, including individuals from Itaituba city, an area under mining activity influence, was conducted. The geographic coordinates were o…
HIV prevalence among men who have sex with men in Brazil
This paper reports human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV) prevalence in the 2nd National Biological and Behavioral Surveillance Survey (BBSS) among men who have sex with men (MSM) in 12 cities in Brazil using respondent-driven sampling (RDS).Following formative research, RDS was applied in 12 cities in the 5 macroregions of Brazil between June and December 2016 to recruit MSM for BBSS. The target sample size was 350 per city. Five to 6 seeds were in…
