Gender diverse individuals who do not conform to society's binary gender expectations are more likely experience difficulties in acceptance and recognition of gender, compared binary-identifying transgender people. This may accentuate the feeling that their identity is socially recognized or validated. study aimed investigate psychological functioning among adolescents adults identify beyond spectrum. In both populations, 589 clinically-referred from UK (n = 438 birth-assigned females n 151...
Objectives Studies showed that men who have sex with (MSM), including those using pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), are at increased risk of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. We evaluated HCV prevalence and incidence, along their associated determinants, in a cohort PrEP-using individuals the Netherlands. Methods In 2019, Netherlands launched 5-year national programme offers subsidised PrEP to eligible individuals. used prospectively collected data from registered this between 2019 2022....
The International Collaboration on Hepatitis C Elimination in HIV Cohorts (InCHEHC) is a multinational consortium of longitudinal cohorts people with who are at risk hepatitis virus (HCV) infection or infected HCV.InCHEHC has been specifically designed to assess progress towards HCV elimination as public health threat among HIV.• first data merge includes 104 740 participants from 11 Australia (n ¼ 22 033), Canada 2070), France 18 387), Netherlands 24 785), Spain 16 725) and Switzerland 20...
Transgender women are at increased risk of acquiring HIV. Earlier studies reported lower retention in HIV care, antiretroviral therapy uptake, adherence and viral suppression. We assessed the stages care continuum transgender Netherlands over an 11-year period. In addition, we new diagnoses late presentation, as well disengagement from between 2011 2021.
Background: Little is known about the effect of HCV treatment on sexual risk behaviour among men who have sex with (MSM) HIV by type (IFN-based vs DAA-based). Setting: MSM and recently acquired infection enrolled in observational MOSAIC cohort. Methods: Using data from 2009-2018, we evaluated through a validated score (where ≥2 indicated high risk) its individual behaviours. Levels before, during after were modelled for each episode using linear logistic regression Generalized Estimating...
As highly effective therapy against hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is available with rapid uptake, there newfound optimism for HCV elimination. Nevertheless, certain key populations have a high risk of reinfection, in particular men who sex (MSM) Western European countries. Modelling data indicate that elimination will not be feasible without reduction behaviour, thus supporting the need interventions aimed at reducing behaviour and preventing reinfections MSM.The ICECREAM study an...
We assessed the predictive capacity of HCV-MOSAIC risk score, originally developed for primary early HCV infection, as a screening tool reinfection in 103 men who have sex with (MSM) HIV using data from MOSAIC cohort, including MSM HIV/HCV-coinfection became reinfected (cases, n = 27) or not (controls, 76) during follow-up. The overall score was area under receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve. effects covariates on (ROC) curve were parametric ROC regression. cut-off validated...
