The world ‐wide incidence of Kaposi's sarcoma in the HIV/AIDS era
ConclusionsGlobally, a relatively high incidence of KS was found among HIV‐seropositive people and, in particular, in HIV‐infected MSM. The introduction of HAART has largely prevented the development of KS, but it has not entirely removed the challenge of KS. In Africa, in particular, KS imposes a very heavy disease burden, which can mainly be attributed to the high prevalence of KS‐associated herpesvirus and poor access to HAART. (Source: HIV Medicine)

Patient perspectives on de ‐simplifying their single‐tablet co‐formulated antiretroviral therapy for societal cost savings
ConclusionsDe‐simplifying Triumeq® generates large cost savings. Additional savings could be achieved by de‐simplifying other STFs. Both physicians and patients agreed that selective de‐simplification was acceptable; however, it may not be acceptable to every patient. Monitoring the medical and cost impacts of de‐simplification strategies seems warranted. (Source: HIV Medicine)

Sexualized drug use ( ‘chemsex’) and high‐risk sexual behaviours in HIV‐positive men who have sex with men
ConclusionsThree in ten sexually active HIV‐positive MSM engaged in chemsex in the past year, which was positively associated with self‐reported depression/anxiety, smoking, nonsexual drug use, risky sexual behaviours, STIs, and hepatitis C. Chemsex may therefore play a role in the ongoing HIV and STI epidemics in the UK. (Source: HIV Medicine)
