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}

Up to 70% of women in Tanzania are infected by age 30. Point-of-care (POC) tests to detect HSV-2 antibodies are commercially available. We validated the performance of two HSV-2 POC tests in women in rural Tanzania.MethodsBlood from 56 women was tested for HSV-2 antibodies by Biogate Labs and OnSite Duo rapid tests and Kalon HSV-2 IgG ELISA. Results obtained from the POC tests were compared with those from the ELISA to determine sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV).ResultsThe Biogate had a sensitivity and specificity of 30.3% [15.6%-48.7%] and 100% [85.2%-100%], respectively. The OnSite Duo had a sensitivity and specificity of 69.7% [51.3%-84.4%] and 87.0% [66.4%-97.2%], respectively.

In Ukraine, women engaged in sex work (WSW) and men who purchase sex (MWPS) are disproportionately affected by both viruses. The aim of our study was to the investigate the influence of underlying networks on transmission of HIV and HCV.MethodsA cross-sectional integrated bio-behavioural survey was implemented among 560 WSW and 370 MWPS representative of sex work hotspots in Dnipro, Ukraine (December 2017 to March 2018). A portion of the HIV reverse transcriptase gene (n = 13; 62% WSW, 38% MWPS) and HCV NS5B gene (n = 46; 70% WSW, 30% MWPS) were sequenced from dried blood spot specimens. Tip-to-tip distances on phylogenetic trees were used to infer phylogenetic clusters for identifying potential transmission clusters.ResultsPhylogenetic analyses identified two HIV clusters containing four sequences (50% WSW; 50% MWPS) and 11 HCV clusters containing 31 sequences - the majority comprising infections in WSW (83.9%). Nearly half (45.4%) of HCV clusters contained at least one WSW with a history of injecting drugs.ConclusionsJoint analyses of HIV and HCV signal overlap in sex work and injecting networks in Ukraine, suggesting implications for the comprehensive coverage of prevention programs for WSW including harm reduction services. Conducting phylogenetic analyses with HCV may provide a more complete appraisal of underlying transmission networks than HIV alone, particularly in the context of high HIV treatment coverage yielding viral suppression.","PeriodicalId":14408,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of STD & AIDS","volume":" ","pages":"542-549"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12085746/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142346765","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}

Encounters for HIV post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) create opportunities for HBV screening and prevention. We quantified HBV prevalence, susceptibility, and active/passive immunization use among patients seeking HIV PEP.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective chart review of patients requesting PEP at an academic hospital between 2001-2021 in Toronto, Canada. Patients were classified as HBV immune or susceptible based on laboratory tests. Among HBV-susceptible individuals, we quantified how often HBV vaccine and/or hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) were administered.ResultsWe identified 2018 PEP episodes, 75.3% being for sexual exposures. Mean age was 33.6 years. Among 1593 (78.9%) participants with available HBV testing data, six (0.4%) tested HBsAg-positive. Of 2018 episodes, 56.8% were among HBV-immune and 19.8% among HBV-susceptible participants; 23.1% were among participants of unknown status. Of susceptible participants, 55 (13.8%) received HBIG and 143 (35.8%) received HBV vaccinations.ConclusionsHBV prevalence was low but roughly one-fifth of patients seeking HIV PEP were HBV-susceptible. HBIG use was inconsistent with current guidelines, and a minority of HBV-susceptible individuals were vaccinated. More systematic HBV testing, increased HBV vaccination and more rational use of HBIG are needed in those seeking HIV PEP.","PeriodicalId":14408,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of STD & AIDS","volume":" ","pages":"550-557"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143605088","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}

Newborns exposed to AZT had a mean (SD) haemoglobin of 15.5 (2.3) g/dl and a reticulocyte count of 216.8 (67.1) x103/microliter, which were significantly lower compared to newborns not exposed with a haemoglobin of 17.6 (1.8) and a reticulocyte count of 273.1 (97.8) on the day of delivery. The MCV was with a mean (SD) of 117.2 (11.5) significantly higher in newborns exposed compared to those not exposed: 106.4 (17.1).
