The cumulative incidence was estimated along with its 95% confidence interval. Pearson's chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, and relative risk calculations were used to identify associated factors.ResultsThe HIV incidence was 9.1 per 10,000 donors (95% CI: 5.0-13.2). Subgroups with the highest incidence per 10,000 donors included those recruited through mobile blood drives (12.3), individuals under 40 years of age (12.0), men (11.3), and altruistic donors (10.6).ConclusionA relatively low number of new HIV cases was found among repeat donors.

Due to chronic (subclinical) inflammation and long-term intake of potentially nephrotoxic medication, PLWH are at an elevated risk for CKD. Urinary Dickkopf 3 (uDKK3) acts as a noninvasive marker of renal tubular damage and predictor of progressive CKD. It has not been investigated in PLWH.MethodsThis observational study included 427 PLWH from the HIV outpatient clinic of the Department of Dermatology at the University Hospital Essen. We examined uDKK3-to-creatinine levels in PLWH with and without CKD. Renal function evolution was retrospectively assessed in order to investigate the relation between uDKK3 and CKD progression.ResultsUrinary DKK3-to-creatinine concentrations were significantly higher in PLWH with CKD and were associated with lower eGFR according to cystatin C (p = 0·009) and creatinine (p = 0·003). There was a trend towards higher uDKK3-to-creatinine concentrations in progressive CKD compared to non-progressive CKD, without reaching significance (OR 1·27; 95%-CI 0·33-2·08; p = 0·33).ConclusionsUrinary DKK3, a noninvasive marker, not only detects CKD in PLWH, but could also indicate its progression. This could help to identify PLWH with progressive CKD in need of effective treatment.","PeriodicalId":14408,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of STD & AIDS","volume":" ","pages":"9564624251361331"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144730911","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}

It can affect all organs, mostly the liver and the lungs. The number, size and evolution of those cysts is mediated by the immune system.

She was in AIDS stage due to poor medical adherence. She presented a medullar toxicity to Albendazole, a medication she had been taking for years to control the echinococcal cysts, which were stable then. Upon stopping the Albendazole, she presented an enlargement of those cysts. Surgery was mandatory, and revealed five liver cysts, a 12cm-large kidney cyst, and a gigantic 20 cm-large retroperitoneal cyst. They were treated successfully, and the patient has been asymptomatic during the last 4 years since surgery, along with maintained HIV suppression.ConclusionHydatidosis can be negatively affected by immunosuppression such as HIV infection. However, the scarcity of the cases studying this association makes it difficult to fully grasp the possible interactions between those two diseases.","PeriodicalId":14408,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of STD & AIDS","volume":" ","pages":"9564624251362094"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144698527","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}

In this report, we present the first series of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis cases from Türkiye associated with AIDS and Kaposi sarcoma.MethodsCases of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in people living with HIV and AIDS and Kaposi sarcoma who met the HLH-2004 diagnostic criteria recommended by the \"Histiocyte Society\" were included in the study. The patient's demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics were recorded retrospectively.ResultsFour patients presented with fever, cytopenia, peripheral lymphadenomegaly, splenomegaly, and hepatomegaly. Fever persisted throughout their hospitalization. At the time of HLH diagnosis, Kaposi sarcoma was detected in the lymph node biopsies of one patient and in the skin biopsies of three patients. Hemophagocytosis was observed in bone marrow aspirations from all patients. Three patients received dexamethasone and etoposide for hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis treatment, while one received dexamethasone alone. All four patients died.ConclusionsCases of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis associated with Kaposi sarcoma and AIDS are rare in the literature. In conclusion, high fever may appear in the early stages of Kaposi sarcoma in people living with HIV and AIDS. Since hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis has a high mortality rate, early diagnosis and prompt initiation of appropriate treatment are crucial.","PeriodicalId":14408,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of STD & AIDS","volume":" ","pages":"9564624251355834"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144690274","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}

It is unclear whether chlamydia screening in women has an impact on these complications. Chlamydia incidence rates between European countries vary by orders of magnitude, which largely reflects different intensities of screening.MethodsWe used chlamydia diagnoses rates as a proxy for chlamydia screening rates to assess if differences in screening intensity were associated with differences in the frequency of ectopic pregnancy and the prevalence of infertility in women. We used mixed effects linear regression to assess for an association between chlamydia screening intensity in European countries and two outcomes: (1) the incidence of ectopic pregnancy and (2) the prevalence of infertility in women, while controlling for year, income and quality of health services.ResultsThe number of countries with available data increased from 3 in 1990 to 23 in 2019, before slightly declining to 22 in 2020. CT incidence varied across countries, from a median of 207 cases per 100,000 in 1990 (IQR: 59-313) to 33 cases per 100,000 in 2021 (IQR: 3-179). There was less variation in ectopic pregnancy incidence (median: 208 and 33 per 100,000 in 1990 and 2021, respectively), and female infertility prevalence (median 1,224 and 1,587 per 100,000 in 1990 and 2021, respectively). No association was found between screening intensity and ectopic pregnancy incidence or infertility prevalence after adjusting for year, GDP per capita, and universal health coverage index.ConclusionsOur results are compatible with other types of data that suggest that the intensity of screening for chlamydia is not associated with a large effect on the population-level frequency of all ectopic pregnancies and female infertility.","PeriodicalId":14408,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of STD & AIDS","volume":" ","pages":"9564624251361294"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144637017","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}
