Characterization of HIV risk factors among transwomen and men who have sex with men (MSM) should be assessed separately and independently. However, due to several constraints, these populations continue to be conflated in clinical research and data. There are limited datasets globally powered to make such comparisons.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFWe develop various AI models to predict hospitalization on a large (over 110k) cohort of COVID-19 positive-tested US patients, sourced from March 2020 to February 2021. Models range from Random Forest to Neural Network (NN) and Time Convolutional NN, where combination of the data modalities (tabular and time dependent) are performed at different stages (early vs. model fusion).

- There is a significant prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV), substance use disorders (SUD), and depression among incarcerated women in a Peruvian prison, highlighting the need for integrated care.
- Out of 249 women surveyed, a substantial number reported experiencing violence before incarceration, with 69.3% facing threats and 61.4% suffering physical violence, alongside high rates of depression (67.5%) and substance use (68.1%).
- The study suggests a complex relationship between IPV, substance use, and mental health, urging further research to inform policies and interventions for at-risk women in the Andean region.
Unlabelled: Background Syphilis in Peru is heavily concentrated in men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW). The aim of the present study was to understand the risk factors for active syphilis infection among MSM and TGW in Peru.
Methods: Independent correlates suggestive of active syphilis infection were examined to better understand risk factors for syphilis in MSM and TGW, with separate analyses conducted based on location and among TGW.
