The burden of the disease is expected to increase in the forthcoming years. Men who have sex with men living with HIV (MSMLWH) have a higher incidence of SCCA than the general population. The progression of SCCA usually develops from high risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection to high grade squamous intra-epithelial lesions (HSIL). HPV infection is highly prevalent in MSMLWH and is considered the most important risk factor for SCCA in MSMLWH. Although the prevalence worldwide is largely similar, the distribution of high-risk HPV genotypes varies. Education on sexuality and lifestyle, use of condoms, fixed sexual partner, effective antiretroviral therapy (ART), smoking cessation, and preventive male circumcision could reduce HPV infection in MSMLWH. Screening and treatment of HSIL have been widely applied to prevent SCCA, but divergence still exists in many studies. When treating HSIL, patients of different ages and risk factors need more consideration to develop standardized management strategies, especially for MSMLWH. Very few studies have examined the treatment of SCCA with MSMLWH. ART has dramatically changed the treatment of SCCA in MSMLWH. The safety and outcome of treatment are still primary concerns for MSMLWH. More studies in this field are necessary to develop treatment strategies for MSMLWH.","PeriodicalId":14408,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of STD & AIDS","volume":" ","pages":"533-541"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143982873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This quality improvement project aims to explore whether use of targeted educational material changes staff attitudes towards NSG use in clinical practice within a Sexual Health and HIV department.MethodsA pre-intervention survey was circulated to all clinicians. Subsequently, various methods encouraged appropriate NSG use including video guidance of performing venepuncture without gloves in line with Trust policy, educational presentations, and patient-facing posters for waiting rooms. NSG procurement data were obtained, and a post-intervention survey evaluated whether NSG use had changed following the interventions.ResultsSixty-three percent of staff believed they had reduced their personal glove use in the past year. Many staff believed the best way to reduce inappropriate glove use was through education as well as empowering patients through posters. Glove procurement data comparing 2023/2024 to pre-COVID 2019/2020 showed a 45.2% decrease in NSG orders from 173,110 to 94,800 per year.ConclusionsStaff education is successful in reducing inappropriate NSG use, with patient posters and targeted staff presentations the most effective measures to drive behaviour change and therefore reduce NSG use.","PeriodicalId":14408,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of STD & AIDS","volume":" ","pages":"583-586"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12085747/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143624747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper examines factors associated with ART adherence among people with HIV who inject drugs (PWHWID) in Almaty, Kazakhstan during the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted from October 2020 to August 2022 with 66 PWHWID and their treatment support partners (n = 66) to assess associations between ART adherence and sociodemographic, COVID-19 related, social support, and other factors. Multilevel generalized linear mixed models were used to examine factors associated with optimal (≥90%) and standard (≥80%) adherence levels.ResultsWe found low medication adherence rates: only 55.8% took ≥80% of their doses, and just 14.7% took ≥90%. People were more likely to take their medication consistently if they had a partner with HIV, experienced less household conflict during COVID-19, or met with addiction professionals. Poor mental health and negative emotional impacts from COVID-19 were associated with low adherence.ConclusionThese findings suggest that HIV treatment programs should consider the importance of patients' relationship factors, mental health, and home environment impacts during public health crises.","PeriodicalId":14408,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of STD & AIDS","volume":" ","pages":"568-576"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143742926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were collected from medical records to capture sociodemographic and health information. The prevalence of HIV was determined with its 95% confidence interval, and comparisons of HIV prevalence with sociodemographic and behavioral factors were conducted using Fisher's exact test and prevalence ratios. Analyses were performed using SPSS 29.0.ResultsMost FSWs had a primary education or less, and 50% were enrolled in the contributory health regime. Sixty-two percent reported using hallucinogens during sex, and 17% had relationships with individuals diagnosed with Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). The prevalence of HIV was 1.4%, with a higher prevalence among those with a previous STI diagnosis, at 12%. No significant differences were found based on other sociodemographic or behavioral variables.ConclusionThis study reveals a higher HIV prevalence compared to previous studies among FSWs, indicating the need for new health programs specifically tailored for this group, particularly for women with prior STIs, as they represent a key population for HIV infection that demands better healthcare approaches. Additionally, further research is needed to understand how sociodemographic changes impact infection dynamics in this population.","PeriodicalId":14408,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of STD & AIDS","volume":" ","pages":"577-582"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143752710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
