Assessing the cost implications of integrating and scaling up HIV services for key populations in Kenya and Malawi
Limited research has been conducted on strategies to improve the efficiency of HIV services for key populations (KPs). This study investigates ways to enhance healthcare delivery efficiency, focusing on HIV services for KPs. We explore two strategies: expanding service volume and offering multiple HIV services within a single health facility. Using data from the Linkages Across the Continuum of HIV Services for Key Populations Affected by HIV (LI…
Sexual Identity and Condomless Sex Among Mexican MSM
HIV prevention efforts in Mexico often overlook heterosexual-identified men who have sex with men (H-MSM), a subgroup at elevated risk for HIV. Using data from the 2021-2022 National Survey on Sexual and Gender Diversity (ENDISEG), we examined condomless sex among cisgender MSM, categorizing participants by sexual identity (heterosexual vs. gay, bisexual, or other non-heterosexual), sexual behavior (only male partners vs. both male and female), a…
Effectiveness of an intervention to improve ART adherence among men who have sex with men living with HIV
We conducted a parallel-group randomized controlled trial in three HIV clinics in Mexico to evaluate a user-centred habit-formation intervention to improve ART adherence among MSM living with HIV. We randomized 74 participants to the intervention group and 77 to the control group. We measured adherence at one, four, and ten months through medication possession ratio and self-reported adherence. Additionally, we measured viral load, CD4 cell count…
Interest in event-driven PrEP among men who have sex with men using daily PrEP in Mexico in 2019–2020
This study aimed to evaluate the interest in event-driven PrEP (ED-PrEP) among men who have sex with men (MSM) using daily PrEP in Mexico's PrEP demonstration project between 2019 and 2020. We compared participants interested or not in ED-PrEP during their first-month visit and identified associated factors. Of 1,021 MSM attending their first-month visit, 7% had previous knowledge of ED-PrEP, but 40% were interested in ED-PrEP. However, over 50% …
Prevalence of Post-Covid conditions among Mexican Covid-19 survivors
About one-third of the adult Mexican population who had COVID-19 in 2021 had Post-COVID conditions. Our population-based estimates can help assess potential priorities for PCC-related health services, which is critical in light of our weak health system and limited funding
Awareness of U = U among Sexual and Gender Minorities in Brazil, Mexico, and Peru
The slogan Undetectable equals Untransmittable (U = U) communicates that people living with HIV (PLHIV) who are on antiretroviral therapy (ART) will not transmit HIV to their sexual partners. We describe awareness of U = U among sexual and gender minorities (SGM) living in Brazil, Mexico, and Peru by self-reported HIV status (PLHIV, negative, unknown) during 2021 using an online survey. We estimated two models using Poisson regression for each po…
State of HIV costing in Latin America and the Caribbean
Objectives. To summarize available data on unit costs for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing, prevention, and care interventions in Latin America and the Caribbean. Methods. We conducted a systematic literature review of costing studies published between 2012 and 2024, and selected those reporting empirically measured costing data. The available data were categorized according to predefined intervention categories and compared by time and…
Lead Exposure Can Affect Early Childhood Development and Could Be Aggravated by Stunted Growth
Children with stunted growth are more vulnerable to the adverse effects of lead exposure. These results add to previous research calling for action to reduce lead exposure, particularly in children with chronic undernutrition

Changes in apparent consumption of staple food in Mexico associated with the gradual implementation of the Nafta
In 1994, the United States, Canada, and Mexico signed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) to remove trade barriers and facilitate cross-border trade in goods and services. Worldwide, trade agreements, urbanization and economic development have shaped significant changes in dietary habits. This study aims to evaluate the association between the gradual implementation of NAFTA and changes in apparent consumption of staple foods in Mexic…
Changes in sexual behavior, PrEP use, and Covid-19 experience among men who have sex with men in Mexico

Profiles of Depressive Symptoms Among Men Who Have Sex With Men and Transgender Women During the Covid-19 Outbreak in Mexico
The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on mental health among HIV high-risk populations is not known. We assess the prevalence of depressive symptoms (DS) and explore the association with characteristics related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We conducted an online survey among 881 men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW) assessing the presence of DS using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CESD-10); results were …
Relative efficiency of demand creation strategies to increase voluntary medical male circumcision uptake
BACKGROUND: Supply and demand-side factors continue to undermine voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) uptake. We assessed relative economic costs of four VMMC demand creation/service-delivery modalities as part of a randomised controlled trial in Zimbabwe. METHODS: Interpersonal communication agents were trained and incentivised to generate VMMC demand across five districts using four demand creation modalities (standard demand creation (SD…
Developing HIV assisted partner notification services tailored to Mexican key populations
While APNS are not formally implemented in Mexico, all participants supported the service, indicating that APNS could potentially enhance early HIV diagnosis in Mexico. Strategies to implement such services need to be flexible addressing the individual needs of participants, guaranteeing the safety of more vulnerable participants
Universal cervical cancer control through a right to health lens
BACKGROUND: Cervical cancer claims 311,000 lives annually, and 90% of these deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. Cervical cancer is a highly preventable and treatable disease, if detected through screening at an early stage. Governments have a responsibility to screen women for precancerous cervical lesions. Yet, national screening programmes overlook many poor women and those marginalised in society. Under-screened women (called har…

Syndemic Vulnerability and Condomless Sex Among Incarcerated Men in Mexico City
Prison environment and non-communicable chronic disease modifiable risk factors
BACKGROUND: There is a lack of evidence regarding chronic disease modifiable risk factors among prisoner populations in Latin America. The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of modifiable risk factors for chronic diseases and to assess their relationship with length of incarceration. METHODS: We analysed data from a cross sectional study in which 4241 prisoners were randomly selected to answer a questionnaire with socio-demograp…
HIV prevention costs and their predictors
We estimate costs and their predictors for three HIV prevention interventions in Kenya: HIV testing and counselling (HTC), prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) and voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC). As part of the 'Optimizing the Response of Prevention: HIV Efficiency in Africa' (ORPHEA) project, we collected retrospective data from government and non-governmental health facilities for 2011-12. We used multi-stage sampling …
Connectivity, prison environment and mental health among first-time male inmates in Mexico City
Research from high-income countries suggests that prison populations are affected disproportionately by mental illness. However, little research has examined mental health among prisoners in low- and middle-income countries or associations between mental health and contextual factors surrounding the prison experience among susceptible first-time inmates in these settings. The current study examines associations between connectivity, prison enviro…
A tale of two epidemics
Significant differences exist between men and women with HIV in Mexico City in terms of their socioeconomicand behavioral profiles, which translate into differences in terms of exposure to HIV infection. Women face social and economic vulnerability while men tend to have riskier sexual behavior. Gender issues must be approached in prevention and treatment efforts, using diverse methods to target those most vulnerable and at risk

Migration Decision-Making Among Mexican Youth
We explored migration decisions using in-depth, semistructured interviews with male and female youth ages 14 to 24 ( n = 47) from two Mexican communities, one with high and one with low U.S. migration density. Half were return migrants and half were nonmigrants with relatives in the United States. Migrant and nonmigrant youth expressed different preferences, especially in terms of education and their ability to wait for financial gain. Reasons fo…
Learning effect of a conditional cash transfer programme on poor rural women’s selection of delivery care in Mexico
Background The Mexican programme Oportunidades/Progresa conditionally transfers money to beneficiary families. Over the past 10 years, poor rural women have been obliged to attend antenatal care (ANC) visits and reproductive health talks. We propose that the length of time in the programme influences women’s preferences, thus increasing their use not only of services directly linked to the cash transfers, but also of other services, such as clini…
