The clusters of infection expanded, overlapping to evolve into a pandemic that is ongoing and almost as silent. Phylogenetic analysis places the emergence of HIV-1 group M, the subtype responsible for the pandemic, in the human population more than 100 years ago. Once established, the rate and direction of spread of HIV-1 from local, to national, to contemporary pandemic proportions have varied over time and place. The literature presents many theories on the emergence and drivers of the spread of the virus over the past century. Here, historical evidence and phylogenetic models are reviewed to seek clarity on the emergence, geographic spread and key world events that mark the progression of the HIV-1 pandemic. This narrative review places particular focus on: war (both its direct and indirect affects), trade and economic expansion, changes in sexual behaviors, and public health policy. Investigating the impact of major world events and policy on the emergence and spread of HIV-1 may aid better understanding of what influences the viruses transmission dynamic. By identifying multilateral targets that influence transmission, up-scaled efforts to effectively control, if not remove, HIV-1 from the human population become a possibility. Suggestions for revisions in HIV-1 global public health policy are discussed. Refocused efforts to tackle HIV-1 transmission and replace the need to manage the pathology of this terrible disease are both ethically and economically just.</p>","PeriodicalId":7685,"journal":{"name":"AIDS reviews","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140038578","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}

We also used random-effects models to generate pooled rate estimates for syphilis before PrEP and during follow-up.

A summary of three studies estimated a 2.34-fold increased risk of syphilis acquisition during PrEP, with an incidence rate of 8.89 cases/100 person-years. These findings warrant caution due to study heterogeneity. Compared to HIV-positive individuals, PrEP users exhibit potentially higher syphilis rates, particularly among those aged 33-38 years, and factors such as age ≥ 35 years, MSM status, prior sexually-transmitted infections, and longer PrEP duration (every 6 months) are associated.

It is imperative to investigate the synergistic impact of these two diseases on African populations. This study conducted an exhaustive computerized search of databases, including Medline/PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane library, and African Journals Online, to identify eligible studies up to October 2023. HIV infection was the exposure, esophageal cancer risk was the outcome, and healthy subjects with no cancer history served as comparators. Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale, and potential publication bias was evaluated through funnel plots and the Egger test. Meta-analyses were conducted using Stata 17.0 software and involved a thorough examination of 98,397 studies. Out of these, eight studies originating from Eastern and Southern Africa, recognized as esophageal cancer hotspots on the continent, met the eligibility criteria. The analysis revealed a non-significant association between HIV infection and esophageal cancer risk (odds ratio = 1.34 [95% confidence interval, 0.85-2.12]; with 0.26 as p-value of overall effects). The Egger test yielded a p-value of 0.2413, suggesting the absence of publication bias.

Based on these studies, we summarized the detrimental influences of HIV, mainly HIV viral proteins Gag, Tat, Gp120, and Nef, on hematopoietic microenvironment. These viral proteins interfere with the development of HSCs and hematopoiesis by affecting mesenchymal stem cells, osteoblasts, endothelial cells, and related signaling factors within the microenvironment. At the same time, we introduced the research progress of targeted therapy for HIV viral proteins and tried to solve the hard-to-correct hematopoietic abnormalities after ART by combining targeted therapy with HIV viral proteins from the direction of hematopoietic microenvironment.

Since Benjamin Castleman's initial description in 1956, our understanding of CD has progressed substantially. The intricate mechanisms underlying the four recognized subtypes of multicentric CD (MCD) have been studied thoroughly during recent decades. Major disease contributors include the identification of certain viral infections, namely human herpes virus-8 (HHV-8) and HIV; and the discovery of molecular and genetic mechanisms driving disease development and progression and the consequent development of biological targeted therapies, notably siltuximab and rituximab. The CD has been associated with autoimmune, autoinflammatory, and hematological disorders. Along with epidemiological data, the current classification of CD encompasses unicentric CD and MCD. MCD is further subdivided into HHV-8-associated MCD, polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein, skin (POEMS)-associated MCD, and idiopathic MCD (iMCD), which includes thrombocytopenia, anasarca, fever, reticulin TAFRO-iMCD, and iMCD-not-otherwise-specified (iMCD-NOS). While these subtypes share common histological and similar clinical manifestations, they represent distinct conditions. In this review, we discuss the differences in epidemiology, pathophysiology, histology, clinical presentation, and treatment for all distinct CD subtypes. We focus on the role of viral infections in CD development and epidemiology.
