Cervical Visual Inspection With Acetic Acid (Via) and Oncogenic Human Papillomavirus Screening in Rural Indigenous Guatemalan Women: Time to Rethink Via
Single-visit "screen-and-treat" strategies using visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) and cryotherapy (liquid nitrous oxide ablation) in low-resource settings are commonly used to detect and treat precancerous lesions for cervical cancer prevention. This study compared VIA sensitivity and specificity in rural indigenous Guatemalan communities, to that of oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) testing for detection of precancerous changes, using…

Medicaid Expansion and Infant Mortality in the United States
Objectives. To explore the effect of Medicaid expansion on US infant mortality rate. Methods. We examined data from 2010 to 2016 and 2014 to 2016 to compare infant mortality rates in states and Washington, DC, that accepted the Affordable Care Act Medicaid expansion (Medicaid expansion states) and states that did not (non–Medicaid expansion states), stratifying data by race/ethnicity. Results. Mean infant mortality rate in non–Medicaid expansion …

That’s True Love: ” Lived Experiences of Puerto Rican Perinatally HIV-Infected Youth within Their Families’ Context
The burden of HIV affects not only HIV-infected patients but also their families and caregivers. It is also known that family support is crucial for people living with HIV. A qualitative study was conducted to explore the life experiences, within the family context, of perinatally HIV-infected (pHIV-I) youth in Puerto Rico. Twenty in-depth interviews were performed and audio-recorded. Within the family context, study participants experienced acce…

HIV infection and prevention of mother-to-child transmission in childbearing women: La Romana, Dominican Republic, 2002-2006
HIV prevalence among LR parturients was higher than the estimated prevalence in the Dominican Republic (0.8%-1.0%) and, in contrast to past studies, predominantly affected urban Dominicans. HIV prevalence among LR Haitian parturients was higher than among Dominican counterparts and prenatal clinic attendees in Haiti (who had a rate of 3.1%). Consistently implemented, targeted pMTCT interventions are needed
Infectious diseases and mortality among US nursing home residents
Data collected in the 1985 National Nursing Home Survey were analyzed to identify risk factors for infections and mortality and to explore their relationship in US nursing homes. An infection was recorded in 166,609 (14%) discharges. Risk of pneumonia was found to be higher among bedbound patients (54.5 vs 13.1 per 100 discharges); urinary tract and other infections were most frequent among residents with indwelling catheters (6.6 vs 1.0 per 100 …
Racial trends in syphilis among men with same-sex partners in Atlanta, Georgia
Early syphilis cases attributable to homosexual transmission declined in DeKalb County, Georgia, from 191 in 1981 to 97 in 1985. This decline occurred only among White men with same sex partners (SSP); early syphilis among Black men with same sex partners has risen. This pattern is consistent with the hypothesis that changes in sexual behavior instituted by White men at risk of acquiring HTLV-III/LAV infection may have resulted in decreased incid…
