- - The study aimed to assess risky sexual behaviors among HIV-positive individuals on antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Dodoma, Tanzania, focusing on factors related to condom use and sexual partners.
- - Out of 291 participants, many reported unsafe practices: 44% had inconsistent condom use, 21% had multiple sex partners, and 13% engaged in casual sex, indicating a concern for potential HIV transmission.
- - Key findings showed younger individuals (≤35 years) were less likely to have single partners, while having no HIV-infected family members correlated with higher condom use and lower reported STD symptoms.
The Student Response Team at the University of Nebraska Medical Center answered the statewide call to assist local health departments during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. As a voluntary student-led effort, the SRT assisted health departments to conduct contact tracing, monitor social media, and educate the public. Their experience demonstrates how students can increase the public health surge capacity of local health departments while gaining applied experience during public health emergencies.
