“…We added two items regarding the relational life of the subject (items 9–10), as the presence of different kinds of relation has been previously associated with risky behaviors [ 18 ]. Study’s term was extended from 6 to 12 months as described in literature [ 19 ]. Item 22 contains a list of questions investigating knowledge about HIV and prevention, adapted from a validated questionnaire present in literature [ 20 ] with the aim to assess perceived susceptibility and perceived severity, in line with the HBM.…”

Background: Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is suitable for high human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infection risk people, foremost among whom are males who have sex with other males (MSM). This study evaluated knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding PrEP in a sample of Italian MSM, in order to hypothesize strategies to implement PrEP awareness and use. No previous study has assessed this issue; Methods: An online survey was given to an opportunistic sample of Italian MSM. The questionnaire investigated sexual behaviour and habits, HIV/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) knowledge and PrEP awareness, attitudes and practices. Univariable and multivariable logistic regressions were conducted to identify factors associated with PrEP knowledge; Results: A total of 196 MSM participated in this survey. Overall data showed that 87.2% of participants knew what PrEP is, but only 7.5% have ever used it. The main reason for not using PrEP was the cost of the therapy (26.9%). The principal source of PrEP information was the Internet (68.4%). Being regularly tested for HIV was significantly associated with PrEP knowledge (adjusted odds ratio (AdjOR) = 3.16; confidence interval (CI) = 1.06–9.29); Conclusions: Knowledge regarding PrEP was well established, but PrEP use was not equally widespread. It is necessary to improve research on PrEP usage in order to PrEP access to be granted.

“…Four healthcare workers (patients 1-4, median age 32.5 [19-43] years) without significant comorbidity had a first mild COVID-19 episode with a complete recovery: three returned to work in COVID units, one had possible COVID re-exposure at home (patient 2). All of them experienced a clinical relapse requiring sick-leave but no hospitalization after a median symptom-free interval of 9 [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] days.…”

“…11 Frequent high-risk sexual behavior led to the rapidly spread and to a higher genetic diversity of HIV, which may have caused the incidence of a high level of recombination. 12 Second-generation recombinant virus, CRF79_0107, caused by double infection has also spread rapidly to 5 provinces in individuals with high-risk sexual behaviors in China. It is especially worth noting that, with the rapid spread of CRF01_AE and CRF07_BC among MSM, more and more new second-generation CRFs represented by the recombination of CRF01_AE and CRF07_BC will be identified and found spreading in high-risk populations in the future.…”

Asymptomatic infection and atypical manifestations of COVID-19: Comparison of viral shedding duration Dear Editor,Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) bears several challenging problems, including insidious symptom onset, subclinical manifestations and highly transmissible property during early stage of infection. 1 In the recent study by Huang et al., SARS-CoV-2infection presented strong infectivity during the incubation period with rapid transmission. 2 Some patients with COVID-19 are asymptomatic, while others complain of atypical symptoms including loss of smell and taste sense. 3 However, there is insufficient data on the prevalence of asymptomatic infection and atypical manifestations of COVID-19. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence of asymptomatic infection, anosmia (smell loss) and ageusia (taste loss) among patients with mild COVID-19 in a residential treatment center (RTC). We also compared the duration of SARS-CoV-2 viral shedding between groups with different clinical manifestations.An observational cohort study was conducted for 199 patients with COVID-19 in a RTC at Gyeongju, Gyeongsangbuk province, Republic of Korea (ROK). The RTC was introduced to care patients with mild COVID-19 for the efficient distribution of limited medical resources during large epidemic in early March 2020. Data on demographic findings, symptoms, and duration of viral shedding were collected. The patients were interviewed about initial symptoms and their duration in detail. Real-time PCR (RT-PCR) to detect SARS-CoV-2 was performed every 2-7 days. Duration of viral shedding was considered as time from diagnosis date to the day before first negative conversion of two consecutive negative results of RT-PCR. RT-PCR was conducted using Allplex 2019-nCoV assay (Seegene, Seoul, South Korea). Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 20.0 program. Mann-Whitney U test was performed to compare the duration of viral shedding between groups with different clinical manifestations. P -value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Korea University Guro Hospital (approval number: 2020GR0135).Among 199 patients with COVID-19, male was 34.7% and mean age of the patients was 38.0 years ( Table 1 ). Most patients (187, 94.0%) were healthy without chronic medical conditions. Among 199 patients, 26.6% were asymptomatic. In the early study, asymptomatic cases accounted for 10.7% (3/28) of COVID-19 cases in the ROK. 1 Asymptomatic proportion of COVID-19 was estimated as 17.9% (95% credible interval, 15.5-20.2%) on the Diamond Princess cruise ship, Japan. 4 Among clinical manifestations, cough (41.2%) was most common, followed by rhinorrhea and nasal stuffiness (30.2%). Of note, 26.1% (52/199) of patients presented anosmia, and 22.6% (45/199) complained of ageusia. Thirty-eight (19.1%) patients complained of both anosmia and ageusia. Duration of anosmia and Duration of viral shedding (days, mean ± SD) p value Asymptomatic 22.6 ± 4.0 < 0.01 * Symptomatic 25.2 ...

“…This model, however, does not apply specifically to HIV treatment and/or prevention, but rather is a general theoretical model for explaining health service utilization. Studies that have used a social-ecological perspective have shown that there are unique and complex variables that account for different health outcomes in the Latinx population (Solorio et al, 2014, 2016; Trujillo et al, 2019). For instance, one study that investigated obesity among Latinxs using a social-ecological perspective found there are distinct cultural processes from other ethnic minority groups that impact health outcomes.…”
