Recent HIV infections and estimated HIV incidence among adolescents from key populations
OBJETIVE: To identify recent HIV-1 infection and estimate HIV incidence among adolescent men who have sex with men (AMSM) and transgender women (ATGW) in Brazil. METHODS: From January to December 2020, a cross-sectional analysis was conducted with baseline data from the PrEP1519 study, an HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) demonstration cohort in Brazil among sexually active AMSM/ATGW aged 15–19.

Therefore, researchers from different health disciplines conducted PrEP1519, the first PrEP demonstration cohort study, ongoing in three Brazilian cities - Salvador, Belo Horizonte, and São Paulo - amon…
Prevalence of syphilis and sexual behavior and practices among adolescents MSM and TrTGW in a Brazilian multi-center cohort for daily use of PrEP
Syphilis has reemerged as a serious public health problem in Brazil and worldwide, disproportionately affecting men who have sex with men (MSM) and travestis and transgender women (TrTGW). Studies on sexually transmitted infections (STI) in adolescents from these key populations are relatively scarce. This is a Brazilian multi-center, cross study with prevalence analysis, using as baseline the PrEP1519 cohort of sexually active MSM and TrTGW adol…
