J Womens Health (Larchmt)
December 2019
Despite national efforts to expand women's health education, internal medicine (IM) residents remain unprepared to provide comprehensive care to women. The objectives of this scoping review are to provide an overview of published women's health curricula in IM residency programs and to identify potential areas for improvement. Studies were identified using PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), Web of Science, and MedEdPORTAL.

- The study aims to assess HIV infection risk among men who have sex with men and women (MSMW) in China, focusing on their unique risk factors.
- A systematic review of literature from 2000 to 2014 revealed that MSMW have a higher HIV prevalence (6.6%) compared to men who have sex only with men (MSMO) (5.4%), as well as greater engagement in commercial sex and substance use.
- The findings suggest that targeted interventions should be implemented to increase HIV screening and reduce high-risk behaviors among MSMW to help lower HIV transmission rates.
Objectives: To elucidate new features in the prevalence of HIV-1 transmitted drug resistance (TDR) in men who have sex with men (MSM) in China.
Methods: A total of 441 HIV-1-positive subjects were recruited from high-risk MSM populations in 7 cities across China between 2012 and 2013. Nucleotide sequences of 1.
Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive cases associated with men who have sex with men (MSM) have rapidly increased over the past years. The objective of this study is to comprehensively evaluate the proportions, changing trends, and geographical distribution of MSM-associated HIV cases from Chinese voluntary blood donors by systematically reviewing the available literature.
Study Design And Methods: Major English and Chinese research databases were searched for studies reporting study locations, study years, the number of HIV infections among blood donors, and the number of HIV-positive donations associated with MSM in China.
Article Synopsis
- A study in Shenyang, China, found that 23.2% of 625 surveyed MSM used recreational drugs, with alkyl nitrites being the most common.
- The prevalence of HIV was 9.6% and syphilis was 10.4%, with drug use linked to factors like being under 25, single status, and finding partners online.
- Recreational drug use was identified as increasing the risk of HIV infection significantly, highlighting the need for targeted prevention programs.
Circumscribed choroidal hemangioma (CCH) is rarely associated with choroidal neovascularization (CNV), especially in HIV-infected patients. And the therapy is still controversial. In this study, we discussed the mechanism, clinical feature and treatment of such lesions, based on multi-modality imaging evidences.
