However, this population is largely neglected in national tuberculosis programmes. Strategies for active case finding, screening, and linkage to care designed for the general population are not adapted to the needs of people who use drugs, who are stigmatised and difficult to reach. Moreover, access to care, linkage to care, and treatment adherence are challenging for such a marginalised population. Learning from the HIV field about successful interventions targeting this group, we advocate for the implementation of tuberculosis interventions adapted for people who use drugs, highlighting the key role that community-based approaches could have in both design and implementation. Alongside reducing health inequities by reducing the excess tuberculosis burden among people who use drugs, these targeted interventions can also reduce tuberculosis transmission at the population level.</p>","PeriodicalId":48783,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Global Health","volume":" ","pages":"e593-e598"},"PeriodicalIF":19.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143042664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on our multidisciplinary perspectives and diverse experience of geographical regions, we explore the value of regional cooperation, the role of regional organisations, where they could have the greatest impact, and the major factors affecting regional cooperation and regional organisations in managing public health emergencies.

In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between prenatal PrEP exposure and birth and infant or child outcomes.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This prospective cohort study analysed data from the PrEP Implementation for Mothers in Antenatal Care study (NCT03070600). Participants were eligible for inclusion if they were currently pregnant, not currently using PrEP, were aged 15 years or older, planned to remain in the study area, were not enrolled in other studies, and did not have HIV or tuberculosis. Participants enrolled during pregnancy at 20 maternal and child health clinics in western Kenya and were followed up until 9 months postpartum. Those who reported taking PrEP at any antenatal visits were identified as prenatally PrEP exposed. In an extension cohort, participants and their children were followed up until 36 months postpartum. Infant anthropometry and social-emotional development using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-SE), second edition were assessed by trained study nurses. Among a subset of participants, we confirmed prenatal PrEP exposure using tenofovir diphosphate concentrations in dried blood spots.

Compared with PrEP-unexposed pregnancies, there was no difference in pregnancy loss (ie, miscarriage), stillbirth, preterm birth, or neonatal death among PrEP exposed pregnancies (all p>0·05). There were no differences in infant length or weight at 6 weeks, 6 months, and 9 months (all p>0·05) between children with and without prenatal PrEP exposure, including underweight, stunting, and wasting. Results were similar when analysed separately by trimester of PrEP initiation and duration on PrEP, and in a subset at 24 months, 30 months, and 36 months. Prenatal PrEP exposure was not associated with ASQ-SE scores at 24-months (p=0·12), 30-months (p=0·75), or 36-months (p=0·81).
