TL;DR: In this paper , Chi Square analysis of selected HIV correlates was conducted to examine differences between transwomen and MSM, with a trend of substance use increasing HIV risk for transwomen only.

TL;DR: Daily oral TDF (in coformulation with FTC) did not reduce HSV-2 acquisition among high risk MSM, and the concentrations of TDF in the rectal or penile tissues after oral dosing appear to be insufficient to decrease the acquisition of HSV, but seems to may decrease its clinical expression in the perianal area.

TL;DR: The authors used machine learning to select biomarkers and sociobehavioral covariates predictive of HIV acquisition in a nested case-control study within the Sabes study in Peru and assessed a panel of plasma immune biomarkers at enrollment and longitudinally, including within a month of diagnosis of primary HIV or matched timepoint in controls.

TL;DR: Garcia-Rosales et al. as discussed by the authors discussed the ethical imperative to ensure uninterrupted HIV care following Therapeutic trials: One Experience in Peru, where participants participated in clinical trials of antiretroviral therapy (ART).

TL;DR: In this article , the authors used the framework of sexual role strain, or incongruence between preferred sexual role and actual sexual practices, to explore potential conflicts between personally articulated identities and externally defined norms of gender and sexuality and its potential to increase HIV/STI risk.
