Background: The COVID-19 pandemic exposed weaknesses in healthcare systems and disparities in healthcare access across sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The insights of frontline healthcare professionals (HCPs), and healthcare researchers involved with the response to COVID in SSA are crucial to ensuring that health systems are optimally prepared for the next pandemic threat. Nonetheless, there is limited consensus as to what are the clinical and public health research priorities necessary to ensure that SSA is optimally prepared and responsive to future pandemics.

For decades quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) have served as main component of a top antiseptic and disinfectant compositions. Among them, bis-QACs are the most prominent and effective class of biocides.

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has highlighted the need for society, as a whole, to be prepared against potential pandemics caused by a variety of different viral families of concern. Here, we describe a roadmap towards the identification and validation of conserved T cell epitope regions from Viral Families of Pandemic Potential (VFPP). For each viral family, we select a prototype virus, the sequence of which could be utilized in epitope identification screens.

To describe provision of HIV telehealth services during the COVID-19 pandemic using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Medical Monitoring Project Facility Survey for the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the United States initiative, which aims to achieve an at least 90% reduction in new HIV infections by 2030 and highlights telehealth as an important strategy. During 2021, we surveyed 1023 facilities providing HIV care to a nationally representative sample of US adults with diagnosed HIV, of which 45% responded. We calculated weighted percentages with 95% confidence intervals comparing the characteristics of facilities providing telehealth services.
