Association of Discrimination and Violence With Suicidality Among Travestis and Transgender Women in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 2015‒2023
Objectives. To examine the associations between discrimination, violence, and suicidality among travestis and transgender women in Brazil. Methods. We analyzed baseline data from the Transcendendo cohort (2015–2023) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which enrolled travestis and transgender women aged 18 years and older. We assessed lifetime discrimination by using an 8-item scale reflecting transgender-related mistreatment experiences. We also measured …
Condom Failure Among HIV-Negative Men in Serodiscordant Relationships in Australia, Brazil, and Thailand
Condoms continue to be used by many gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBM) to reduce the risk of HIV transmission. However this is impacted by condom failure events, defined here as condom breakage and slippage. In a prospective, observational cohort study of 343 HIV serodiscordant male couples recruited through high HIV caseload clinics and hospitals between 2012 and 2016 in Australia, Brazil, and Thailand, condom failure rates…
Agreements, Behaviour, and Change
Male HIV serodiscordant couples have diverse relationship agreements regarding sex outside the relationship. We examined the relationship agreements as described by 343 male HIV-negative partners in HIV serodiscordant relationships in Australia, Brazil and Thailand participating in a multi-year cohort study. At baseline, 125 (34.1%) HIV-negative partners reported no agreement, 115 (33.5%) had a monogamous agreement, and 103 (37.9%) had an open ag…
Pregnancy incidence, outcomes and associated factors in a cohort of women living with HIV/Aids in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 1996-2016
The aim of this research was to analyze pregnancy incidence and associated factors in a cohort of 753 women living with HIV/AIDS (WLWHA) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 1996 to 2016. Women aged 18-49 years who were not on menopause (surgical or natural) and did not have a tubal ligation were eligible for the study. Data were collected by medical professionals during initial and follow-up visits. Person-time pregnancy incidence rates were calculat…
Characteristics of Agreements to have Condomless Anal Intercourse in the Presence of an Undetectable Viral Load Among HIV Serodiscordant Male Couples in Australia, Brazil and Thailand
Depression, sexual behavior, and HIV treatment outcomes among transgender women, cisgender women and men who have sex with men living with HIV in Brazil and Thailand
One in five transgender women (TW) are living with HIV, yet little has been published about their health outcomes. We analyzed data from TW (n = 37), cisgender women (CW, n = 165), and cisgender men who have sex with men (MSM, n = 151) in Thailand and Brazil. We hypothesized: (1) TW will have higher odds of depressive symptoms, lower odds of condom use and greater odds of a detectable viral load compared to MSM and CW; and (2) TW will have lower …
Prevalência e fatores associados ao aborto induzido no ingresso em uma coorte de mulheres vivendo com HIV/aids, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, 1996-2016

The Longitudinal Effects of Non-injection Substance Use on Sustained HIV Viral Load Undetectability Among MSM and Heterosexual Men in Brazil and Thailand
The Intersection of HIV, Social Vulnerability, and Reproductive Health
The Role of Religious Service Attendance, Psychosocial and Behavioral Determinants of Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) Adherence
Health-related quality of life assessment among people living with HIV in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and syphilis among men who have sex with men in Brazil
An overall high STD-prevalence rate was observed, especially among HIV-infected and in younger individuals, and the majority of STDs were asymptomatic. STD screening using NAATs among asymptomatic MSM is a potentially cost-effective intervention for the prevention of HIV infection among MSM
Antiretroviral Medication Adherence and Amplified HIV Transmission Risk Among Sexually Active HIV-Infected Individuals in Three Diverse International Settings
Unprotected Sexual Practices Among Men Who Have Sex with Women and Men Who Have Sex with Men Living with HIV/Aids in Rio de Janeiro
Unprotected sex among men who have sex with men living with HIV in Brazil
The UAI prevalence found with negative or unknown HIV status partners points out that other interventions are needed as additional prevention tools to vulnerable MSM. The main factors associated with UAI were a lifetime history of violence, commercial sex and the number of male sexual partners. This clustering of different behavioral, health and social problems in this population reinforce the need of a comprehensive approach on treating and prev…
The Use of Appreciative Inquiry in Organisational Change
The introduction of organisational change presents a number of challenges for managers. These can include staff perception of the power of managers, the need to achieve measurable outcomes from the change process, and the tension between using outside experts and internal knowledge. Participatory evaluation methods are suitable for organisational change as they can be used at various stages of program development (Owen 2006, p. 234). They focus o…
Pregnancy rates and predictors in women with HIV/Aids in Rio de Janeiro, Southeastern Brazil
OBJECTIVE: To assess incidence and predictors of first pregnancy among women with HIV/AIDS. METHODS: Prospective cohort study was conducted in Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil, between 1996 and 2003. This study comprised 225 women with HIV/AIDS followed up until their first pregnancy or first censored event (hysterectomy, tubal ligation, menopause, 50 years of age, loss to follow-up, death or the end of December 2003). Pregnancy and abortion r…
Desempenho do exame citológico e da captura híbrida II no rastreamento de lesões intraepiteliais escamosas de alto grau em mulheres HIV
As lesões intraepiteliais escamosas de alto grau (HSIL) são precursoras do câncer do colo do útero, com maior risco de ocorrência e desenvolvimento em mulheres HIV+. Neste trabalho, estimamos e comparamos o desempenho do exame citológico e da captura híbrida II no rastreamento das lesões precursoras em mulheres HIV+. A população de estudo compreendeu mulheres acompanhadas na coorte prospectiva aberta do Instituto de Pesquisa Clínica Evandro Chaga…
HIV rapid testing as a key strategy for prevention of mother-to-child transmission in Brazil
OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility of HIV rapid testing for pregnant women at maternity hospital admission and of subsequent interventions to reduce perinatal HIV transmission. METHODS: Study based on a convenience sample of women unaware of their HIV serostatus when they were admitted to delivery in public maternity hospitals in Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alegre, Brazil, between March 2000 and April 2002. Women were counseled and tested using th…
Mapping Dialogue Between Jewish and Muslim Communities in Europe
In 2005, CEJI – a Jewish Contribution to an Inclusive Europe – began an initiative to promote dialogue and understanding between Jewish and Muslim communities in Europe, and to enhance the visibility of already existing dialogue projects. The endeavour began with a series of national reports, was marked by a European conference of seventy people in April 2007, and culminated in the establishment of a European Platform for Jewish Muslim Co-operati…
