“…Furthermore, people with low financial resources or single parents with one child are potentially more likely to seek outside support which may increase the risk of viral exposure, as it was previously described for people who have to work outside. 44…”

“…The questionnaire was only available in French. It took approximately 15 min to complete the 77 questions, which were derived from previous ERAS editions,14 European studies among MSM15 as well as French studies on the COVID-19 pandemic 16 17. The questionnaire was pilot-tested within the research team and among members from community organisations.…”

ObjectiveTo describe changes in pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use during and following the COVID-19 lockdown in France (March–May 2020) and identify the factors associated with PrEP discontinuation among men who have sex with men (MSM) after the lockdown.MethodsData from the, an anonymous, cross-sectional internet survey among MSM in July 2020, were analysed. Among respondents who were using PrEP prior to the lockdown, a binary logistic regression model was used to compare participants who were still taking PrEP (current PrEP users) with those who were not taking PrEP at the time of the survey (former PrEP users).ResultsAmong 8345 respondents, 946 were PrEP users before the lockdown, of whom 58.8% (n=556) reported stopping PrEP during the lockdown and 15.4% (n=146) were not using PrEP at the time of the survey. Among the 556 who stopped PrEP during lockdown, 86.5% (n=481) reported no sexual activity; 76.8% (n=427) restarted PrEP after lockdown. Former PrEP users were more likely to be younger, not living with a stable male sexual partner, report moderate anxiety, report increased psychoactive drug use during the lockdown, and report not having tested for HIV or STI since the end of the lockdown because they did not know where to go, preferred to wait or for another reason. Reporting fewer male sexual partners in the last 6 months was also significantly associated with being a former PrEP user.ConclusionsMSM adapted PrEP use to their sexual activity during and after the French lockdown. After the lockdown, discontinued PrEP occurred more often among MSM who had fewer sexual partners and had mental health vulnerabilities. These factors could also be predictive of PrEP discontinuation in a more general context. PrEP users should be informed on how to safely stop/start PrEP and on the use of other prevention tools to reduce potential risk exposure during PrEP discontinuation.

“…Hence, age and gender are considered socioeconomic inequalities of the COVID-19 pandemic [ 3 ]. Overcrowding, race, and ethnicity are some of the other socioeconomic inequalities reported by COVID-19 [ 3 , 4 ]. Researchers around the world from different fields such as artificial intelligence (AI), biomedicine, pathology, and virology are contributing their work regarding COVID-19 to combat the virus by providing detailed information on virus morphology and its virulence [ 5 ].…”

Since its outbreak, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has caused havoc on people’s lives. All activities were paused due to the virus’s spread across the continents. Researchers have been working hard to find new medication treatments for the COVID-19 pandemic. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that safety and self-measures play a major role in preventing the virus from spreading from one person to another. Wireless technology is playing a critical role in avoiding viral propagation. This technology mainly comprises of portable devices that assist self-isolated patients in adhering to safe precautionary measures. Government officials are currently using wireless technologies to identify infected people at large gatherings. In this research, we gave an overview of wireless technologies that assisted the general public and healthcare professionals in maintaining effective healthcare services during COVID-19. We also discussed the possible challenges faced by them for effective implementation in day-to-day life. In conclusion, wireless technologies are one of the best techniques in today’s age to effectively combat the pandemic.
