Objectives: In COVID-19 patients, bacterial and fungal pulmonary coinfections, such as , , , or have been reported, but to our knowledge, no case has been reported due to .
Patients And Methods: We describe three cases of coinfections occurring during the 4th wave of COVID-19 in Martinique (French West Indies).
Results: All three cases were fatal; thus, has to be considered as a potentially severe coinfection agent.
Objectives: To assess the level of knowledge about HPV in a population attending a sexual health clinic in the University Hospital of Martinique.
Methods: Cross sectional observational study based on a validated questionnaire among 500 young adults between June 2020 and March 2021. First question was "Have you ever heard of HPV?".
Article Synopsis
- The Caribbean and South American French Overseas Territories (CSAFOT) are significantly impacted by the HIV-1 epidemic, with a notable presence of non-B subtypes alongside the common subtype B.
- Studies analyzing over 2,500 HIV-1 sequences from 1995 to 2018 reveal a rise in non-B subtype strains in CSAFOT, highlighting the complex introduction and spread of these variants in the region.
- Twelve major transmission networks for non-B subtypes have been identified, showing both local and transatlantic transmission dynamics involving diverse populations, including men who have sex with men and heterosexual individuals across various age groups.
Background: HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) was implemented in France in November 2015 based on individual-level risk factors for HIV infection. We evaluated the proportion of missed opportunities for PrEP among newly HIV-diagnosed people entering the Dat'AIDS cohort in 2016.
Methods: Multicenter retrospective analysis in 15 French HIV clinical centers of patients with a new diagnosis of HIV infection.
Objectives: To assess, in a clinical cohort, the efficacy of switching current ART in virologically suppressed patients to a dolutegravir-based regimen, regardless of the genotypic susceptibility score (GSS).
Patients And Methods: This was an observational single-centre study assessing ART-treated patients with plasma viral load (pVL) <50 copies/mL who were switched to a dolutegravir-based regimen with 1 year of follow-up. PCR negative was defined as an undetected PCR signal.
We describe characteristics of 17 patients with a Zika virus (ZIKV) infection seen in a Travel Center in Paris during the 4 months following the WHO alert on ZIKV. Sixteen were imported cases, including 13 from the Caribbean. One was a women living in Paris infected through sexual transmission.
