Older people with HIV (OPWH) have an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Understanding this is important to screen and initiate treatments. This study explored awareness of T2DM, perceived risk, and willingness to receive T2DM preventive education. OPWH were recruited from an academic health center in Chicago, Illinois between November 2022 and January 2023. Staff used interview guides for qualitative data collection and administered a sociodemographic survey. Qualitative data was analyzed using the Framework Method; survey data was analyzed descriptively. A total of 19 participants were enrolled; the mean age was 59 years, and 37% were female. Thematic analysis revealed: (1) although participants were familiar with T2DM, they were largely unaware of the increased risk among individuals with HIV; (2) participants had divergent views regarding their own T2DM risk perception; (3) health maintenance was a motivator for T2DM prevention, yet participants noted lifestyle improvements may be difficult to implement; (4) participants were open to receiving diabetes prevention materials via the patient portal. Despite a general lack of awareness of T2DM risk among older adults with HIV, participants were willing to receive T2DM prevention information. Future research should develop plain language materials for OPWH and determine appropriate delivery procedures.

Introduction: Modern medical treatment of insomnia is often associated with issues like addiction, drug resistance, and a high risk of relapse post drug withdrawal. To tackle these challenges, the Chinese medicine formula Shuhe granule (SHG) has been employed in insomnia treatment at Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine. Despite this, there is currently a lack of reliable evidence from evidence-based trials to support the widespread use of SHG in insomnia treatment.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic strained the provision of sexual and reproductive health services, including family planning, which were categorized as non-essential services at the peak of COVID-19 infection control in Kenya. We set out to assess the effect of COVID-19 on fertility management practices among Kenyan women in two cities to inform mitigation measures in future similar disruptions.
Methods: This was a qualitative study to describe the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on women's fertility management practices from 61 in-depth interviews (IDIs) with women aged 15-45 years residing in Nairobi and Kisumu, Kenya, between February and May 2021.
