Introduction We conducted a detailed analysis of trends in new HIV diagnoses Australia by country birth, to understand any changes epidemiology, relationship migration patterns and implications for public health programs. Methods Poisson regression analyses were performed, comparing the age-standardised diagnosis rates per 100,000 estimated resident population between 2006–2010 2011–2015 region with stratification exposure (male-to-male sex, heterosexual sex–males females). Correlation...
Dual HIV and syphilis testing might help to prevent mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of through increased case detection treatment. We aimed model assess the cost-effectiveness dual during antenatal care in four countries with varying prevalence.In this modelling study, we developed Markov models pregnant women estimate costs infant health outcomes maternal at first visit individual tests (base case) a rapid diagnostic test (scenario one). additionally evaluated retesting late delivery...
BackgroundCommunity-based oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) provision has the potential to expand PrEP coverage. HIV self-testing can facilitate community-based delivery but might have lower sensitivity than facility-based testing, potentially leading inappropriate use among people with and subsequent development of drug resistance. We aimed evaluate impact for scale-up.MethodsWe parameterised an agent-based network model, EMOD-HIV, simulate generic tenofovir disoproxil fumarate...
The study analyzed the sustainability dimensions integrated in textbook of English (Grade IX) for Punjab, Pakistan using framework proposed by Tavanti (2010).

Introduction Key populations, including female sex workers (FSW), people who inject drugs (PWID), and in serodiscordant partnerships, experience higher HIV incidence compared to the general population. Maternal retesting, particularly during late pregnancy, helps detect new infections prevent vertical transmission, but optimal testing schedules among key populations are unknown. Methods We used a Markov model estimate health economic impacts of maternal retesting on transmission outcomes FSW...
HIV self-testing has emerged as a safe and effective approach to increase the access uptake of testing treatment, especially for key populations. Applying hepatitis C virus (HCV) may also offer an additional way address low coverage HCV accelerate elimination efforts. To understand potential (HCVST), observational study was conducted assess acceptability usability OraQuick® Self-Test (prototype) among people who inject drugs (PWID) men have sex with (MSM) in Thai Nguyen, province northern...
Globally, HIV testing services (HTS) have been scaled up resulting in 79% of all people with aware their status 2018 [1]. However, 8.1 million remain undiagnosed [1], many whom are hard to reach through traditional HTS approaches. In 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) strongly recommended self-testing (HIVST) as an approach, followed by update 2019 [2, 3]. Since number countries supportive HIVST policies has grown rapidly 77 38 implementing July proved effective reaching and those at...
Abstract Background Self-testing for hepatitis C virus antibodies (HCVST) may be an additional strategy to expand access (HCV) testing and support elimination efforts. We conducted a study assess the usability acceptability of HCVST among general population in semi-rural, high-HCV prevalence region Egypt. Methods An observational was two hospitals Nile Delta region. A trained provider gave in-person demonstration on how use oral fluid followed by observation participant performing test....
Abstract Background Hepatitis C virus self-testing (HCVST) is an additional approach that may expand access to HCV testing. We conducted a mixed-methods cross-sectional observational study assess the usability and acceptability of HCVST among people who inject drugs (PWID), men have sex with (MSM) transgender (TG) in Tbilisi, Georgia. Methods The was from December 2019 June 2020 PWID at one harm reduction site MSM/TG community-based organization. used convergent parallel design. Usability...
