Three experiments investigated the extinction of the within-compound A↔X association established when two compound flavors, AX and BX, are preexposed in blocks (i.e., AX, AX, AX, ... BX, BX, BX). In Experiment 1, a group of rats received preexposure to a block of AX trials followed by a second block of BX trials (AX-BX), while a second group received blocked preexposure to the same stimuli in the opposite order (BX-AX). Subsequently, flavor A was paired with lithium chloride. This conditioning resulted in a similar reduction of consumption of flavor X in both groups. In Experiment 2 four groups of rats received blocked preexposure to AX-BX, AX-B, A-BX, or A-X. After aversive conditioning of X, consumption of A and B was significantly lower for the groups which received these flavors paired with X than for the groups for which these flavors were presented isolated. In Experiment 3 a group of rats was preexposed to a block of SaltX presentations followed by a block of BX presentations (SaltX-BX), and a second group received blocked preexposure to (BX-SaltX). After subsequent sodium depletion, consumption of X was high and similar for the SaltX-BX and for the BX-SaltX groups. These results indicate that the within-compound association established in the first block of a blocked preexposure is not extinguished when the preexposure phase is concluded.

Since the introduction of oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in 2016, countries have successfully scaled-up PrEP to populations at risk of HIV acquisition, including key populations, serodiscordant couples and pregnant women. Between 2016 and 2023, there were over 5.6 million oral PrEP initiations globally.

Background: Adherence to daily oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is low among African young women, and layered support strategies are needed to improve PrEP adherence in this population. We aimed to evaluate potentially scalable adherence-support strategies for young women aged 18-25 years who initiated PrEP in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Methods: We conducted a sequential multiple-assignment randomised trial at Ward 21 of the Wits Reproductive Health and HIV Institute clinical research site, affiliated with University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa.

Article Synopsis
- Participants in three experiments counted target stimuli without knowing there were two different types (AX and BX) with specific differences.
- The INT groups, who experienced mixed presentations, were better at differentiating the stimuli than the BLK groups, who had them presented in blocks.
- Results showed that intermixed preexposure improved both explicit differentiation (as in Experiment 1a) and implicit differentiation (as in Experiments 1b and 2) without prior instructions to focus on differences.
The antiviral JNJ-A07 significantly reduces dengue virus transmission by mosquitoes when delivered via blood-feeding.

Dengue virus (DENV) is the most widespread mosquito-borne virus worldwide, but no antiviral therapies are available yet. The pan-serotype DENV inhibitor JNJ-A07 has shown potent activity in a mouse model. It remains unknown whether an antiviral drug ingested by mosquitoes could inhibit virus replication and thus reduce transmission to other hosts.
