TL;DR: Achieving global CS elimination will require improving access to early syphilis screening and treatment in ANC, clinically monitoring all women diagnosed with syphilis and their infants, improving partner management, and reducing syphilis prevalence in the general population by expanding testing, treatment and partner referral beyond ANC.

TL;DR: An evaluation was undertaken to quantify countries that have experienced shortages of Benzathine penicillin G in the past 2 years and to describe factors contributing to these shortages.

TL;DR: This prolonged longitudinal follow-up of ZikaV infected persons with regular biologic testing and data collection will offer a unique opportunity to investigate the presence and persistence of ZIKV in various biologic compartments, their clinical and immunological correlates as well as the possibility of ZikV reactivation/reinfection over time.

TL;DR: Routinely offering testing at the first antenatal care visit with a dual rapid diagnosis test was cost-saving compared with the base case in all four countries and countries with varying HIV prevalence should consider incorporating dual HIV and syphilis rapid diagnostic tests as the first test in antenatal Care to support efforts to eliminate MTCT.

TL;DR: The evidence from the literature on the use of and access to SRHS related to family planning, antenatal care, abortion services and violence against WLHIV in LAC is synthesized.
