TL;DR: The ACTG A5343 trial as discussed by the authors showed that combining bedaquiline and delamanid has a modest, no more than additive, effect on the QTc interval, and initial microbiology data are encouraging.

TL;DR: This study applies the understanding of social capital as a social determinant of health and examines its relationship to HIV vulnerabilities to TW in Peru.

TL;DR: Low 25(OH)D is common in diverse HIV-infected populations and is an independent risk factor for clinical and virologic failure, and studies examining the potential benefit of vitamin D supplementation among HIV patients initiating cART are warranted.

TL;DR: Comparing CS, time space sampling (TSS), and respondent driven sampling (RDS) for recruitment of men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TW) in Lima, Peru found alternatives to convenience sampling (CS) are needed for HIV/STI surveillance of most-at-risk populations in Latin America.

TL;DR: Rectal application of RG TFV gel was safe in MSM and TGW andherence and product use likelihood were similar for the intermittent gel and daily oral FTC/TDF regimens, but lower for the daily gel regimen.
