Background: Men who have sex with men (MSM) in China have a high risk for HIV infection but experience suboptimal rates of HIV testing and service engagement due to various social and structural barriers. We developed a mobile health (mHealth) intervention entitled "WeTest-Plus" (WeTest+) as a user-centered "one-stop service" approach for delivering access to comprehensive information about HIV risk, HIV self-testing, behavioral and biomedical prevention, confirmatory testing, treatment, and care.

Objective: The goal of the current study was to investigate the feasibility of WeTest+ to provide continuous HIV services to high-risk MSM.

Many studies have established a correlation between air pollution and green space with age-related diseases, yet the relationship between air pollution, green space, and frailty among older adults is not fully understood. The primary objective of this investigation is to examine the longitudinal association among air pollution, green space, and frailty in older adults, as well as the potential interaction and mediating effect. Analyzed data were obtained from the multi-wave CLHLS investigation (2008-2018).

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the connection between varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection and the risk of dementia using a meta-analysis of nine studies, involving over 3 million participants.
  • VZV infection was found to be associated with a slight increase in dementia risk (HR = 1.11), while individuals who received antiviral therapy showed a reduced risk.
  • The findings suggest that VZV infection could contribute to the development of dementia, indicating that antiviral treatment might be beneficial for those infected, although the mechanism behind this relationship remains unclear.
