Qualitative study of barriers and facilitators to HIV detection and treatment among women who inject drugs during the war against Ukraine
CONCLUSION: The ongoing war against Ukraine continues to have a detrimental impact on all aspects of the population's life, particularly affecting WWID. Providers of HIV services must make every effort to sustain and optimize these services, taking into account the evolving context and new requirements.

"Sex without fear": exploring the psychosocial impact of oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis on gay men in England
AIDS Res Ther. 2023 Nov 14;20(1):81. doi: 10.1186/s12981-023-00568-2.ABSTRACTGay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) experience a high prevalence of psychosocial health problems, such as harmful substance use and depression, as well as being disproportionately affected by HIV.

Uptake of retroviral pre-exposure prophylaxis and its associated factors among female sex workers, Northwest Ethiopia
CONCLUSION: This study showed low pre-exposure prophylaxis uptake. The study identified a history of sexually transmitted infections, marital status, and parent living conditions as significant factors. To increase pre-exposure prophylaxis uptake and reduce HIV incidence, an awareness campaign, tailored support, targeted interventions, and addressing concerns of high-risk groups are needed.PMID:37926821 | PMC:PMC10626692 | DOI:10.1186/s12981-023-00573-5 (Source: AIDS Research and Therapy)
