Behaviour changes testing are thought to drive these increases. Methods In 2010 2017, two large online surveys for MSM Europe (EMIS-2010, EMIS-2017) collected self-reported data on STI the previous 12 months, diagnostic procedures, symptoms when testing, number sexual partners, behaviours such as condom use during last...

Data from 23 European countries show that the annual number of HIV diagnoses in men who have sex with (MSM) increased by 86% between 2000 and 2006. This paper reports main preliminary results a bio-behavioural survey MSM specific focus on prevalence use United Nations General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS) indicators six cities Southern Eastern Europe. Time-location sampling (TLS) was used. A total 2,356 questionnaires 2,241 oral fluid samples were collected (invalid 4.1%). The data...
Globally, the HIV epidemic continues to represent a pressing public health issue in Europe and elsewhere. There is an emerging progressively urgent need harmonise STI behavioural surveillance among MSM across European countries through adoption of common indicators, as well development trend analysis order monitor HIV-STI over time. The Sialon II project protocols have been elaborated for purpose implementing large-scale bio-behavioural survey line with Second Generation Surveillance System...
Abstract Being immersed in a natural context has beneficial and pervasive impact on well-being. Virtual Reality (VR) is technology that can help expose people to naturalistic scenarios virtually, overcoming obstacles prevent them from visiting real environments. VR could also increase engagement relaxation older adults with without cognitive impairment. The main aim of this study investigate the feasibility customized scenario by assessing motion-sickness effects, engagement, pleasantness,...
Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) infections have increased globally. Asymptomatic represent a significant risk of long-term complications. Men who sex with men (MSM) are disproportionally affected, underscoring the need to offer screening programmes this population. CT/NG Point Care Testing (POCT) constitutes strategic tool improve continuum STI care, however extensive real-life evaluations amongst at populations lacking. The aim study is estimate GeneXpert assay...
Although sexual health has been holistically defined to include satisfaction, it largely absent in services and reproductive rights programmes many parts of the world. We propose satisfaction as a useful indicator, one proxy measures for well-being component general.
In 2016, WHO estimated there were roughly 374 million new infections among adults of the following four curable sexually transmitted (STIs): chlamydia (caused by Chlamydia trachomatis (CT)), gonorrhoea (Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG)), syphilis (Treponema pallidum) and trichomoniasis (Trichomonas vaginalis (TV)). Accurate point-of-care tests (POCTs) for screening genital extragenital CT, NG TV are great value have been developed during recent decade. Several commercially available shown...
Background: The Telemechron project addresses critical needs in telemedicine by evaluating technology assessment frameworks and key performance indicators (KPIs), among other objectives. Effective KPIs are crucial for assessing services, especially terms of their impact on patient outcomes service efficiency. Methods: This study adopted a dual approach to assess the contributions project. Firstly, it applied framework quantitatively evaluate focusing measurable improvements systematic...
