- Interest in I-PrEP and Willingness to Participate in Clinical Trials Among Men and Transfeminine Persons Who have Sex with Men in Sub-Saharan Africa: Quantitative and Qualitative Findings from HPTN 075by Theodorus G M Sandfort on May 18, 2024
This study explored interest in injectable PrEP (I-PrEP) and willingness to participate in clinical trials testing new biomedical HIV prevention strategies among men and transfeminine persons who have sex with men (MSM & TGP), using data collected in the HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) 075 study, which took place at sites in Kenya, Malawi, and South Africa. Data result from a survey among 267 18-44 years old HIV negative participants, complemented with semi-structured interviews with 80...
- Unveiling ecological/evolutionary insights in HIV viral load dynamics: Allowing random slopes to observe correlational changes to CpG-contents and other molecular and clinical predictorsby Rocío Carrasco-Hernández on May 18, 2024
In the context of infectious diseases, the dynamic interplay between ever-changing host populations and viral biology demands a more flexible modeling approach than common fixed correlations. Embracing random-effects regression models allows for a nuanced understanding of the intricate ecological and evolutionary dynamics underlying complex phenomena, offering valuable insights into disease progression and transmission patterns. In this article, we employed a random-effects regression to model...
- Informed, but uncertain: managing transmission risk and isolation in the 2022 mpox outbreak among gay and bisexual men in Australiaby Daniel Storer on May 17, 2024
In 2022, a global outbreak of mpox (formerly 'monkeypox') emerged in non-endemic countries, including Australia, predominantly affecting gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men. Public health advice on transmission and isolation emerged rapidly from different sources, sometimes conflicting and producing uncertainty. Using the concept of 'counterpublic health', which acknowledges the incorporation of official science and experiences of affected communities into embodied practice, this...
- A Unique Presentation of Secondary Syphilis With Painful Target Lesionsby Namratha Puttur on May 17, 2024
Syphilis, caused by Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum, remains a global health challenge, with a significant burden of new cases annually. The disease disproportionately affects men who have sex with men (MSMs) and endemic, low-income regions. While secondary syphilis typically manifests with a polymorphic rash, individuals with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coinfection may present with varied signs and symptoms. Here, we report a case of a 21-year-old male student with painful target...
