Caring for the whole person: transgender-competent HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis as part of integrated primary healthcare services in Vietnam.

Introduction: Although HIV prevalence among transgender women who have sex with men in Vietnam is high (16-18%), uptake of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is low compared to other populations. When PrEP was initiated in 2017, gender-affirming healthcare was largely unavailable. Lack of access to competent, stigma-free healthcare is a well-documented barrier to transgender women's uptake of PrEP and primary healthcare (PHC).

Shale gas activity and increased rates of sexually transmitted infections in Ohio, 2000-2016.

Background: The growing shale gas ("fracking") industry depends on a mobile workforce, whose influx could have social impacts on host communities. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can increase through sexual mixing patterns associated with labor migration. No prior studies have quantified the relationship between shale gas activity and rates of three reportable STIs: chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis.
