TL;DR: Recommendations for laboratory quality systems that will improve the efficiency of STARHS testing, reproducibility of results and reliability of incidence estimates are outlined.

TL;DR: HIV prevalence in this, the largest study of blood-borne viruses among IPED injectors, was similar to that among injectors of psychoactive drugs, indicating a need for targeted interventions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated how specific factors are differentially associated with COVID-19 mortality as compared to mortality from causes other than COVID19, and found that older age was more strongly associated with death than non-COVID death, as was male sex, deprivation, obesity, and some comorbidities.

TL;DR: Public health surveillance of HCV among IDUs could be enhanced through the collection of DBS samples with appropriate recruitment approaches, and would allow surveillance to inform development of harm reduction interventions, and the international evidence base for these.

TL;DR: The results suggest that a febrile convulsion could be a response to invasion of the blood stream or central nervous system by a micro-organism which is usually a virus.
