Introduction And Objectives: The prevalence of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) in non-cirrhotic portal hypertension (NCPH) is not well established, despite evidence of its occurrence in both minimal (MHE) and overt forms (OHE). Accurate diagnosis and management of HE can reduce morbidity and improve patients' and their families' quality of life. This study aimed to systematically review the prevalence of HE in NCPH.

Brief Report: Potential Gains in PrEP Coverage and Effect on Racial Disparities After Introduction of On-Demand and Long-Acting Injectable PrEP: Preferences of Men Who Have Sex With Men in the United States, 2021-2022.

Introduction: There are persistent race- and ethnicity-based disparities in HIV incidence among gay and bisexual men who have sex with men (GBMSM) in the United States, partially driven by inequities in distribution of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). We assessed how additional modalities of PrEP beyond daily oral might affect the uptake of PrEP and ongoing disparities in HIV incidence in the United States.

Methods: In an online survey of GBMSM in the United States, we presented participants with descriptions of each PrEP modality.

Use of patient portals to disclose STI test histories to sex partners among U.S. men who have sex with men: A call for research and guidance.
