We evaluated disclosure of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody status to a main sex partner and the impact on the relationship in men who have sex with men and who are enrolled in the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) Community Demonstration Projects cohorts. Eighty-nine percent of both seronegative and seropositive men disclosed the results to their main sex partner. Seventy percent of the seronegative men and 82% of the seropositive men who did so reported that the relationship remained "as strong as ever" after 6 months. Most men who did not disclose their test results to their main partner reported being "single" after 6 months.

Echolalia, the immediate or delayed repetition of speech, is a core diagnostic criterion for autism spectrum disorder. It has been studied for over 50 years and is well-described; however, no consensus on prevalence estimates exists for echolalia's occurrence in autistic youth. The current study sought to (1) describe endorsement of echolalia-related items using parent-, teacher-, and clinician-reports in a well-validated sample of autistic youth and (2) characterize relations between echolalia and other key factors, including age, language ability, and repetitive behaviors.

Background: The correlation between central airway anatomical parameters and demographic factors, such as sex, age, weight, height, body mass index (BMI), and cardiac factors, remains unclear. This study examined the correlation between these factors and central airway anatomical parameters in adult patients.
Methods: All consecutive patients who underwent lung mass surgery at our hospital between December 2020 and December 2023 were included in this study.
Elevated plasma molybdenum level increases the risk of premature ovarian insufficiency through vascular endothelial injury.

The International Peace Maternity and Child Health Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China.
Study Question: Is elevated plasma molybdenum level associated with increased risk for idiopathic premature ovarian insufficiency (POI)?
Summary Answer: Elevated plasma molybdenum level is associated with an increased risk of idiopathic POI through vascular endothelial injury and inhibition of granulosa cell proliferation.
What Is Known Already: Excessive molybdenum exposure has been associated with ovarian oxidative stress in animals but its role in the development of POI remains unknown.
Study Design, Size, Duration: Case-control study of 30 women with idiopathic POI and 31 controls enrolled from August 2018 to May 2019.
Doxycycline Postexposure Prophylaxis and Bacterial Sexually Transmitted Infections Among Individuals Using HIV Preexposure Prophylaxis.
JAMA Intern Med
January 2025
Department of Population Medicine, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute, Boston, Massachusetts.
Importance: Doxycycline postexposure prophylaxis (doxyPEP) has been shown to decrease the incidence of bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among people assigned male sex at birth in clinical trials, but data from clinical practice are limited.
Objective: To describe early uptake of doxyPEP and evaluate changes in STI incidence following doxyPEP initiation.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This retrospective cohort study of adults (aged ≥18 years) dispensed HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) at Kaiser Permanente Northern California during November 1, 2022, to December 31, 2023, examined electronic health record data to compare HIV PrEP users dispensed and not dispensed doxyPEP and rates of bacterial STIs before and after starting doxyPEP.
