PrEPped for Covid? The association between HIV-PrEP use and Covid-19 among men and gender diverse people who have sex with men
Oral tenofovir and emtricitabine taken as pre-exposure prophylaxis (HIV-PrEP) is highly effective at reducing Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) acquisition. Nucleotide analogues have also been shown to inhibit Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) polymerase activity in vitro, raising the question as to whether tenofovir-based HIV-PrEP could be useful for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. We sought to examine the a…
How does online postal self-sampling (OPSS) shape access to testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs)? A qualitative study of service users
Our findings constitute one of the largest qualitative studies to have explored OPSS and offer valuable insights to providers. OPSS shapes access to STI testing in a number of ways, including facilitating access in many circumstances, but users also want to retain access to clinic-based services, particularly for when they believe they need support beyond STI testing
Covid-19 infection and vaccination uptake in men and gender-diverse people who have sex with men in the UK
In this community sample, COVID-19 vaccine uptake was high overall, though lower among younger age-groups, gender minorities, and those with poorer well-being. Efforts are needed to limit COVID-19 related exacerbation of health inequalities in groups who already experience a greater burden of poor health relative to other men who have sex with men
Associations with sub-optimal clinic attendance and reasons for missed appointments among heterosexual women and men living with HIV in London
Poor engagement in HIV care is associated with poorer health outcomes and increased mortality. Our survey examined experiential and circumstantial factors associated with clinic attendance among women (n = 250) and men (n = 106) in London with heterosexually-acquired HIV. While no associations were found for women, among men, sub-optimal attendance was associated with insecure immigration status (25.6% vs. 1.8%), unstable housing (32.6% vs. 10.2%…
