Development and Implementation of an HIV Health Care Practice Transformation Model for Latinos.

A Latino Community Health Center in Washington, D.C. implemented and evaluated a practice transformative model to optimize human resources and improve quality health outcomes in HIV service delivery for Latino patients.

Evaluation of dry and wet transport of at-home self-collected vaginal swabs for human papillomavirus testing.

Our objective was to compare human papillomavirus (HPV) detection in paired self-collected vaginal samples transported by overnight mail in liquid specimen transport medium (STM) (wet) or in dry tubes (dry). Women aged 18-24 years were recruited online to self-collect vaginal swab samples at home for HPV testing and 159 women returned paired wet and dry samples. Dry samples were rehydrated with STM upon arrival at the laboratory.
