Injection network drivers of HIV prevention service utilization among people who inject drugs: results of a community-based sociometric network cohort in New Delhi, India
CONCLUSIONS: We found differential associative relationships between individual HIV prevention service engagement and the health or risk behaviours of direct and indirect alters. Characterizing network exposure beyond direct injecting partnerships provided important context on possible mechanisms of behavioural influence. Findings could be leveraged to design peer-based interventions that promote network diffusion of health-seeking behaviours.PMID:38632848 | DOI:10.1002/jia2.26241 (Source: Journal of the International AIDS Society)

Social and structural drivers of HIV vulnerability among a respondent-driven sample of feminine and non-feminine presenting transgender women who have sex with men in Zimbabwe
CONCLUSIONS: Findings suggest that TGW, particularly feminine presenting TGW, experience social and structural inequities which may contribute to HIV vulnerability. Interventions aimed at addressing inequities, including trans competency training for providers and gender-affirming, psychosocial and legal support services for TGW, might mitigate risk.PMID:38627887 | PMC:PMC11021625 | DOI:10.1002/jia2.26231 (Source: Journal of the International AIDS Society)

Understanding effective post-test linkage strategies for HIV prevention and care: a scoping review
CONCLUSIONS: The findings give insights into linkage strategies but more understanding of how to provide these effectively for maximum prevention impact is needed.PMID:38604993 | PMC:PMC11009370 | DOI:10.1002/jia2.26229 (Source: Journal of the International AIDS Society)

HIV knowledge and access to testing for people with and without disabilities in low- and middle-income countries: evidence from 37 Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys
CONCLUSIONS: Men and women with disabilities have lower overall HIV knowledge and in particular women with disabilities also indicate lower testing rates. Governments must include people with disabilities in HIV programmes by improving disability-inclusion and accessibility to HIV-related information, education and healthcare services.PMID:38566480 | PMC:PMC10988115 | DOI:10.1002/jia2.26239 (Source: Journal of the International AIDS Society)

ART history prior to conception: trends and association with postpartum disengagement from HIV care in Khayelitsha, South Africa (2013-2019): a retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: There is a growing population of people with ART experience prior to conception and postpartum disengagement varies substantially by ART history. Antenatal care presents an important opportunity to understand prior ART experiences and an entry into interventions for strengthened engagement in HIV care.PMID:38566482 | PMC:PMC10988117 | DOI:10.1002/jia2.26236 (Source: Journal of the International AIDS Society)

Metabolic causes of liver disease among adults living with HIV from low- and middle-income countries: a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: Metabolic disorders were significant risk factors for liver disease among PLHIV in LMICs. Early recognition of metabolic disorders risk factors might be helpful to guide clinical and lifestyle interventions. Further prospective studies are needed to determine the causative natures of these findings.PMID:38566493 | PMC:PMC10988113 | DOI:10.1002/jia2.26238 (Source: Journal of the International AIDS Society)
