Article Synopsis
- STIs are a major global health issue that adversely impacts sexual and reproductive health, especially in low-resource settings due to gaps in evidence and tools.
- In 2022, the WHO launched an initiative to prioritize STI research, identifying 40 key areas, with a focus on developing affordable diagnostic tests, new treatments, and enhanced epidemiologic data.
- The priorities also emphasize innovative approaches to STI communication and partner management, and include research related to mpox, highlighting the need for STI studies during disease outbreaks linked to sexual transmission.
Objective: To identify and summarise the evidence on the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA detection and persistence in body fluids associated with sexual activity (saliva, semen, vaginal secretion, urine and faeces/rectal secretion).
Eligibility: All studies that reported detection of SARS-CoV-2 in saliva, semen, vaginal secretion, urine and faeces/rectal swabs.
Information Sources: The WHO COVID-19 database from inception to 20 April 2022.
We generated 238 Zika virus (ZIKV) genomes from 135 persons in Brazil who had samples collected over 1 year to evaluate virus persistence. Phylogenetic inference clustered the genomes together with previously reported ZIKV strains from northern Brazil, showing that ZIKV has been remained relatively stable over time. Temporal phylogenetic analysis revealed limited within-host diversity among most ZIKV-persistent infected associated samples.
