TL;DR: Investigating whether incarceration history elevates HIV or HCV acquisition risk among PWID supports the need for developing novel interventions to minimise the risk of HCV and HIV acquisition, including addressing structural risks associated with drug laws and excessive incarceration of PWID.

TL;DR: Study findings suggest that exposure to a large-scale HIV intervention for FSWs was associated with increased CCU with commercial clients, and additional program effort is required to increase condom use with non-commercial partners.

TL;DR: The epidemiology of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among injection drug users (IDUs) in Eastern Central Canada and independent predictors of seroconversion were age, injecting for a year or less, injecting with a syringe previously used by someone else, injecting most often cocaine, engaging in prostitution, and being recruited in a major urban centre.

TL;DR: The frequent occurrence of multiple infections with any combination of four pathogens strongly supports the syndromic approach and the optimal use of metronidazole in flowcharts for the Syndromic management of urethral discharge needs to be explored in therapeutic trials.

TL;DR: Throughout the continent, individuals in sero‐discordant relationships, and members of key populations (sex workers, men who have sex with men (MSM), transgender women and injection drug users) are likely to benefit from the availability of PrEP.
