High vaccination uptake in 2022 led to good coverage among those at higher risk, with an estimated vaccine effectiveness of 84% for one dose, and no hospitalizations among vaccinated cases in 2023.
The study found that MSM who experienced sexual violence were more likely to use PrEP than those who did not, indicating a potential positive outcome of increased PrEP use in this vulnerable population.
The study found that 73% of participants were aware of PrEP, and 96% expressed a strong willingness to use it, indicating a positive outlook for its implementation among Rwandan MSM.
The study found no increase in the number of casual sex partners or condomless anal sex acts over four years of PrEP use. STI incidence remained high but stable, with slight decreases in chlamydia and gonorrhea among daily PrEP users. Only two daily PrEP users were diagnosed with HIV during the first year on PrEP.
The study found that men who underwent MMC had a 50% reduced odds of being HIV positive compared to uncircumcised men. Additionally, traditionally circumcised men had a lower prevalence of HIV compared to uncircumcised men, although the reduction was not statistically significant.
The implementation of 2wT follow-up care resulted in an average savings of $3.56 per client compared to routine care, with even higher savings in rural settings. It improved client engagement and maintained high-quality care.
Increased awareness, belief, and understanding of U=U; improved risk perception accuracy; higher likelihood of HIV testing among HIV negative men.
The expected outcome is a co-produced intervention and program theory that is suitable for testing in a future feasibility study, aimed at improving STI notification and treatment among MSM.
The study found that a significant majority of participants (84.07% of unvaccinated and undiagnosed individuals) expressed willingness to be vaccinated against monkeypox. Additionally, many participants were open to adopting behavioral changes to reduce transmission risk, such as reducing attendance at sex parties and having fewer sexual partners.
The study found that individuals with access to PrEP had a relative risk of HIV of 0.52, those who initiated but were not adherent had a risk of 0.48, and those who were adherent had a risk of 0.23 compared to those who did not initiate PrEP, indicating significant reductions in HIV risk with PrEP.
The study found a 9.8% HIV point prevalence among participants, with 60.2% of reactive individuals linked to further testing. The overall acceptability score for the HIVST kits was high, indicating they were well-received by users.
Positive outcomes include a reduction in mpox diagnoses among vaccinated individuals and increased immunity within the GBMSM population. The study found that vaccination was associated with a lower incidence of mpox among those with identified risk factors.
High-risk alcohol use was associated with increased initiation of PrEP, with 35% of men in the high/very high-risk group starting PrEP compared to 18% in the no alcohol group. However, overall continuation of PrEP at 3 months was low, with only 30% remaining on the medication.
The study found that the sensitivity of ASE/ACE was 59.6%, and specificity was 80.2%. The concordance between self-examinations and clinician examinations was 0.73, indicating that self-exams can effectively identify abnormalities, especially as lesion size increases.
The study found that while there was a significant decrease in sexual risk behaviors during the early pandemic, these behaviors increased again as restrictions were lifted, indicating a need for continued access to sexual health services.
Modeling predicted an overall decrease in new HIV infections over one year (3-17%) despite disruptions, but an increase in deaths over one year (1-2%).
The implementation of combined case-based and population-based test-and-treat strategies significantly enhances the probability of eliminating emergent XDR strains and reduces outbreak size compared to current practices. However, outbreaks could persist for up to 2 years post-detection even with effective strategies.
The combined interventions averted 46%-58% of mpox cases, with early vaccination having the largest impact, preventing 21%-39% of infections depending on city-specific factors.
The model predicts that increasing PrEP coverage from 15% to 27% could avert 12.3% of HIV infections over 10 years, highlighting the interdependence of the interventions and the importance of budget allocation.
