Presented work reports a comprehensive theoretical study on the inhibitory nature of N-arylnaphthylamines in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Integrase (HIV IN) - Lens Epithelium-Derived Growth Factor (LEDGF/p75) complexes. Factors influencing the inhibition efficiency in AlphaScreen% assay are evaluated and explained through the structure- and ligand-based studies; including molecular docking, molecular dynamics calculations, and quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) approach. It has been shown that N-arylnaphthylamines possess a wide variety of binding poses. Three QSAR models have been developed using structural descriptors and descriptors derived from docking calculations. The activity of untested N-arylnaphthylamines have been predicted using the most successful model. Proposed here technique could become a useful tool for ligand selection, accelerating the development of a new generation of anti-HIV medications. [Formula: see text] Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Background: Although existing disease preparedness and response frameworks provide guidance about strengthening emergency response capacity, little attention is paid to health service continuity during emergency responses. During the 2014 Ebola outbreak, there were 11,325 reported deaths due to the Ebola virus and yet disruption in access to care caused more than 10,000 additional deaths due to measles, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. Low- and middle-income countries account for the largest disease burden due to HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria and yet previous responses to health emergencies showed that HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria service delivery can be significantly disrupted.

Objectives: to compare the sociodemographic and clinical severity indicators of hospitalized people with HIV in relation to clinical outcomes and urgent hospital admission.
Methods: a retrospective cohort study was conducted with 102 medical records of HIV-infected individuals hospitalized in a hospital in southern Brazil. In addition to descriptive analysis, Fisher's exact test, Pearson's Chi-square, and logistic regression were used.

Objectives: to verify the construct validation of an instrument for evaluating care for people living with HIV in Primary Health Care.
Methods: methodological study carried out in 2021 with 260 health professionals in Recife, PE. Validation based on the internal structure was carried out at this stage using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and validity based on item response theory.

Objectives: To analyze access to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV in Brazil, comparing transgender and cisgender populations.
Methods: This was a descriptive study using data from the Medication Logistics Control System (Sistema de Controle Logístico de Medicamentos - SICLOM), related to the monitoring of PrEP between January 2018 and December 2023.
Results: During the period analyzed, 149,022 people initiated PrEP, of whom 139,423 (94%) were cisgender and 9,599 (6%) were transgender.
