Objective: This study aimed to analyze the temporal and spatial trends in the burden of HIV/AIDS related to intimate partner violence (IPV) on global, regional, and country scales among females.
Method: Data were from the 2019 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study. We assessed the global disability-adjusted life years (DALYs; per 100,000 population) and death of HIV/AIDS attributable to IPV by age and geographical location. The estimated annual percentage change across 204 countries and territories was used to present the temporal and spatial trends. Furthermore, we examined the relationship between the sociodemographic index (SDI) and the burden of HIV/AIDS attributable to IPV and its spatial and temporal characteristics globally.
Results: From 1990 to 2019, the global DALY and death rates of HIV/AIDS attributable to IPV decreased by 0.26% and 0.21%, respectively. Across the 21 GBD regions, the top three highest age-standardized rates of IPV-related DALY for HIV/AIDS were in Southern, Eastern, and Central Sub-Saharan Africa. From 1990 to 2019, the study found the estimated annual percentage change of 15 out of 21 regions significantly increased with the largest three in Oceania, Eastern Europe, and South Asia with the EAPC of 17.81%, 9.46%, and 8.81%, respectively, while a decreasing trend could be found in six regions (Western Europe, High-Income North America, Eastern Sub-Saharan Africa, Central Sub-Saharan Africa, Australasia, and Caribbean). This study found the inverted U-curve patterns were common across all levels of SDI, although progress has stalled in some regions. The burden of death by 21 GBD regions is similar to DALY's.
Conclusions: The burden of HIV/AIDS attributable to IPV has significantly increased in females in many countries and territories from 1990 to 2019. Marked geographical variations were observed with different patterns. Considering the vast variations in the burden by SDI and geographic location, future actions should be designed and implemented based on the specific development status, cultural, and regional characteristics of each country. The most robust synergy is achieved by intervening on multiple levels in the promotion of community engagement, gender equality, women empowerment, and human rights.

Comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) is curriculum-based teaching and learning of various dimensions of sexuality. By equipping young people with accurate information on sexual and reproductive health, CSE promotes healthier populations and fosters a more informed workforce, contributing positively to national economies. Although known to have many benefits, CSE is not universally accepted or implemented.

Purpose: Epidemiologic studies suggest that the transgender population has a higher burden of cardiovascular (CV) disease. We aimed to assess CV risk and investigate the relationship between estradiol (E2) or ethinylestradiol (EE) use and carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) in transgender women.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional analysis nested into a transgender-specific cohort in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from August 2015 to February 2018.
Characterization of serological responses to Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) is of interest to understand disease burden and transmission dynamics; however, their interpretation is challenging. Dried blood spots from 30,815 participants aged 6 months to 15 years from the 2018 Nigeria HIV/AIDS Indicator and Impact Survey were analyzed by multiplex bead-based assay to measure immunoglobulin G (IgG) to Pf-stage-specific MSP-1, AMA-1, GLURPR0, LSA-1, and CSP. These IgG levels were analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA).

For young women who choose to use both agents concurrently, it is unknown whether they will experience declines in BMD beyond those elicited by either product singly.
Methods: From 2018-2022, we conducted a 2-year prospective study with women ages 16-25 years in Kampala, Uganda desiring pregnancy and HIV prevention.

Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpes virus (KSHV), also known as human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8), is the primary etiologic cause of Kaposi sarcoma (KS) and KSHV Inflammatory Cytokine Syndrome (KICS). Patients with KICS demonstrate symptoms of systemic inflammation, high KSHV viral load, elevation of inflammatory markers, and increased mortality. Management requires rapid diagnosis, treatment of underlying HIV, direct treatment of KS, and addressing the hyperimmune response.
