Problem: There has been limited HIV prevention intervention among Southeastern rural Blacks residing in Florida. The prevalence of HIV/AIDS among this population increasingly supports the need for HIV prevention intervention.
Methods: The primary focus of this article is the process and outcome evaluations of the feasibility of recruiting rural Blacks to accept and participate in HIV prevention intervention and HIV testing and return for their test results. The interventions were conducted over a 5-month period.
Findings: One hundred rural residents participated in the HIV prevention intervention, which was well received except for completing the preintervention and postintervention surveys. Thirty-nine percent of the adult participants consented to OraSure HIV testing, and 75% of those tested returned for their results.
Conclusion: Community-based HIV prevention intervention, including condom demonstration, can successfully be conducted with rural populations. Rural Blacks will participate in HIV testing using OraSure.

HIV interventions across the care continuum for adolescents in high-burden countries: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
EClinicalMedicine
December 2024
University of North Carolina Project-China, Guangzhou, China.
Background: Adolescents (10-19 years old) have poor outcomes across the prevention-to-treatment HIV care continuum, leading to significant mortality and morbidity. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of interventions that documented HIV outcomes among adolescents in HIV high-burden countries.
Methods: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library for studies published between January 2015 and September 2024, assessing at least one HIV outcome along the prevention-to-care cascade, including PrEP uptake, HIV testing, awareness of HIV infections, ARV adherence, retention, and virological suppression.

Aim: To assess Burundi healthcare workers (HCWs)s' level of knowledge and confidence in the diagnosis and management of Mpox.

Cervical Cancer and Cervical Cancer Screening in Women with HIV in Guangxi, China: A Model Simulation Study.

Division of Epidemiology and Community Health, University of Minnesota School of Public Health, Minneapolis, MN, USA.
Unlabelled: Cervical cancer screening can effectively reduce the disease burden. In China, the current cervical cancer screening guidelines do not provide separate screening recommendations for women living with HIV (WLWH) to account for their increased risk. We developed a comprehensive individual-based simulation model to provide evidence to support tailored cervical cancer screening programs for WLWH in Guangxi, a region with a high prevalence of HIV in China.
