Peer interventions have demonstrated efficacy with improving HIV health outcomes. Yet, little is known about factors associated with their uptake into the clinic setting. Three urban sites in the US were funded to adapt, implement and evaluate a peer intervention to improve HIV health outcomes for 173 out of care and newly diagnosed women of color. Peers worked with cis and transgender women of color for four months to achieve the goals of linkage and retention in HIV case management and medical care. Results were 96% of women were linked to medical care, 73% were retained in care and 81% were virally suppressed post 12 months. The average duration of the peer intervention was seven months. Women who received four peer encounters had a 10% increase in retention in care and viral suppression. The findings highlight key elements such as dose and duration of client interaction for peer staff as part of the health care team.

Objectives: Multiplex immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence (mIHC/IF) are emerging technologies that can be used to help define complex immunophenotypes in tissue, quantify immune cell subsets, and assess the spatial arrangement of marker expression. mIHC/IF assays require concerted efforts to optimize and validate the multiplex staining protocols prior to their application on slides. The best practice guidelines for staining and validation of mIHC/IF assays across platforms were previously published by this task force.

The present article aimed to analyze the association between sociodemographic and hospitalization characteristics with the outcome of indigenous and non-indigenous pregnant and postpartum women, as well as factors associated with deaths among indigenous women hospitalized for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) due to COVID-19 in Brazil. This is a cross-sectional and analytical study, with secondary data of pregnant and postpartum women of reproductive age, classified into race/skin color (indigenous and non-indigenous), extracted from the Obstetric Observatory, which uses data from the Influenza Epidemiological Surveillance Information System. The outcome variables were analyzed using the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, and logistic regression was performed for the factors associated with the death of indigenous people.

Introduction: Southern Africa has been inhabited by hunter-gatherers for at least 20,000 years and has received diverse immigration flows in the last 2000 years. The original inhabitants have interacted with the pastoralist migrants from Eastern Africa (∼2000 ybp), followed by the southern Bantu migration arriving some 1000 ybp, and more recently with the European and Asian settlers after the 17th century. Many of the original Khoekhoe and San inhabitants have either become extinct or have disappeared through admixture in South Africa (SA), in a sex-biased manner involving KhoeSan women.
