Objective: HIV testing services (HTS) are a crucial component of national responses. Learning one's diagnosis is the entry point to accessing life-saving antiretroviral treatment and care. Recognizing critical role HTS, Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) launched 90-90-90 targets stipulating that by 2020, 90% people living with know their status, those who status receive therapy, have suppressed viral load. Countries will need regularly monitor progress these three...
Abstract Background Accurate and reliable estimates of violence against women form the backbone global regional monitoring efforts to eliminate this human right violation public health problem. Estimating prevalence intimate partner (IPV) is challenging due variations in case definition recall period, surveyed populations, definition, level age disaggregation, survey representativeness, among others. In paper, we aim develop a sound flexible statistical modeling framework for global,...
In many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, self-reported HIV testing history and awareness of HIV-positive status from household surveys are used to estimate the percentage people living with (PLHIV) who know their status. Despite widespread use, there is limited empirical information on sensitivity those self-reports, which can be affected by nondisclosure.Bayesian latent class models were HIV-testing four Population-based Impact Assessment Eswatini, Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia. Antiretroviral...
In Montreal (Canada), high hepatitis C virus (HCV) seroincidence (21 per 100 person-years in 2017) persists among people who have injected drugs (PWID) despite relatively testing rates and coverage of needle syringe programs (NSP) opioid agonist therapy (OAT). We assessed the potential interventions to achieve HCV elimination (80% incidence reduction 65% HCV-related mortality between 2015 2030) context COVID-19 disruptions all PWID living with HIV.Using a dynamic model HCV-HIV...

Abstract Background The Canadian epidemics of COVID-19 exhibit distinct early trajectories, with Québec bearing a very high initial burden. semaine de relâche , or March break, took place two weeks earlier in as compared to the rest Canada. This event may have played role spread severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). We aimed examine case importation transmission dynamics SARS-CoV-2 Québec.

Background: Measuring recent HIV infections from routine surveillance systems could allow timely and granular monitoring of incidence patterns. We evaluated the relationship two infection indicators with alternative denominators to true Methods: used a mathematical model testing behaviours, calibrated population-based surveys services programme data, estimate number diagnosed annually 2010 2019 in Côte d’Ivoire, Malawi, Mozambique. compared different interpret recency data: those at risk...

Abstract Background In Canada, hepatitis C virus (HCV) transmission primarily occurs among people who inject drugs (PWID) and with experience in the prison system bare a disproportionate HCV burden. These overlapping groups of individuals have been identified as priority populations for micro-elimination country currently not on track to achieve its elimination targets. Considering missed opportunities intervene provincial prisons, this study aims estimate population-level impact...
