“… 61 , 62 , 63 Our findings indicated significant higher seroprevalence rates in high-risk women such as those with OUD (51.9%), HIV-infection (4.34%) and those with other complications (13.2%) than general pregnant women (1.79% in sensitivity analysis). These findings are in agreement with previous estimates in people who use IV drugs (52.3%, 42.4–62.1%), 61 pregnant women or heterosexually people who are HIV-positive (4.0%, 1.2–8.4%), 62 people who are transgender (9%, 3–15%), 64 patients undergoing hemodialysis (20.7%, 18.9–22.6%), 65 and patients with cirrhosis (21%). 63 These findings emphasise the urgent need for global HCV prevention interventions in high-risk pregnant women, particularly in regions with high HCV seroprevalences and those with OUD.…”

Introduction: It has been established that homosexuality plays a considerable role in the persistence of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infections, but data related to their extent remains paradoxically fragmentary. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and determinants of viral infection (Human Immunodeficiency Virus and hepatic viral infections) among homosexuals, bisexuals, and transgenders in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Methods: Between February 1 and March 30, 2022, an analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among Kinshasa's homosexual, bisexual, and transgender populations. The snowball method was used to choose participants from homosexuals’ organisations. Sociodemographic information and the prevalence of viral infections (HIV, HBV, and HCV) were included as study parameters. The determinants of viral infections were found using multivariate logistic regression. Results: A total of 555 participants (mean age: 28.5±7.8 years, unmarried: 44.9%) were enrolled. Human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C infection rates were, respectively, 31.5%, 6.3%, and 9.7% prevalent. HIV-HCV, HIV-HBV, and HIV-HBV-HCV coinfection rates were 4.7%, 4.1%, and 0.7%, respectively. HIV and HBV infection had the same risk factors namely piercing, incarceration, prostitution, and non-condom usage. HCV infection was more pronounced among individuals with piercing, STIs and a previous occurrence of jaundice. Conclusion: In Kinshasa, HIV, HBV, and HCV infections were widespread among homosexuals, bisexuals, and transgender people. Actions targeting LBGTs are essential to reduce HIV, HCV and HBV infections transmission in the community.

Purpose This systematic review and meta-analysis summarize the evidence for the association between Helicobacter pylori infection and Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma. Methods Eligible studies reporting an association between H. pylori infection and Glaucoma were identified through an extensive search of the Excerpta Medica (EMBASE), Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed databases and an assessment of the reference list of the top articles until October 2022. Analysis was performed with random effects model using Stata 16. Result Twenty-four studies were included in the systematic review. This study involved 1602 glaucoma patients and 2800 control individuals. The combined RRs of cohort studies and overall combined ORs of case-control studies showed a significant correlation between H. pylori infection and Glaucoma. Subgroup analysis showed that glaucoma patients had a higher risk of having H. pylori infection if they were residents of Europe countries (Cohort: RR: 1.69; 95% CI: 1.3–2.19) and (Case-Control: RR: 3.71; 95% CI: 2.07–6.64), if they had POAG type (Cohort: RR: 1.76; 95% CI: 1.37–2.27) and (Case-Control: RR: 3.71; 95% CI: 2.934.70), if their diagnostic method of HP was histology (Cohort: RR: 1.95; 95% CI: 1.26–3.01) and (Case-Control: RR: 4.06; 95% CI: 2.28–7.22), and if they were over 60 years old (Cohort: RR: 1.63; 95% CI: 1.33-2.00) and (Case-Control: RR: 2.95; 95% CI: 2.27–3.83). Discussion The results of this meta-analysis suggest a statistically significant association between Helicobacter pylori infection and Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma.
