Summary: Based on our research in Brazil, we found that the prevalence of PEPSE increased by 55.5% from 2011 to 2019, and there was an increasing proportion of repeated PEPSE. Repeated PEPSE was more common among cisgender men, transgender women, homosexuals, and individuals aged 25-29.

Summary: The study found that while the acceptance rate of HIV PEP among sexual assault victims was high, the follow-up rate in infectious disease clinics and the completion rate of PEP remained low. Analysis results indicated that psychiatric comorbidities and anal penetration were associated with the need for repeat ED visits among these sexual assault victims.

Summary: This study aimed to understand the factors motivating female sex workers (FSWs) to initiate PrEP in Harare, Zimbabwe. The findings revealed that intrinsic motivators included self-protection from HIV infection and condom bursting, while external motivators included occupational risk, increased chance of offering unprotected sex, positive encouragement from others, the need to take care of children, prior participation in HIV prevention research, and gender-based violence.

Summary: This study evaluated the initiation, persistence, and adherence of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in pregnant women. The findings showed that 14% of the participants initiated PrEP during pregnancy, and 58% persisted with its use through 9 months postpartum. However, there was a decrease in PrEP persistence and adherence during the postpartum period, highlighting the need to prioritize increasing knowledge of partner HIV status and sustaining adherence.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the vicarious resilience of victim service providers in Canada. It will explore job satisfaction, compassion fatigue, turnover intention, workplace microaggressions, vicarious resilience, coping strategies, and self-care through an online survey, virtual focus groups, and in-depth interviews. The results will contribute to the literature on the wellness of victim service providers.

Summary: This study evaluated the profiles of PEP adherence, ADRs, and discontinuation associated with ADRs. The overall adherence to PEP was found to be less than 60% across samples, with significant heterogeneity. Survivors of sexual assault had the lowest adherence and highest discontinuation rate. Ongoing adherence education, timely monitoring, and management of ADRs may improve adherence.

Summary: This retrospective case-control study found that sexual assault victims who were prescribed a single-tablet regimen (STR) were more likely to complete postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) and had similar attendance rates for follow-up visits compared to those who received a multitablet regimen (MTR).

Summary: The study identified that the main reasons for men who have sex with men to switch to 2-1-1 PrEP dosing were a decrease in sexual encounters and a desire to take fewer pills. However, challenges with this dosing option included difficulties in remembering doses and unplanned sexual encounters. During the pandemic, obtaining laboratory testing and refills for PrEP became challenging for participants.

Summary: HIV remains a significant public health concern in the United States, particularly among women. Oral PrEP with daily tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine is effective in reducing HIV transmission among women. This study aims to understand the factors that shape PrEP continuation among cisgender women. The study found that a positive emotional experience, high perceived risk of HIV acquisition, and high-quality communication with health care providers facilitate PrEP continuation, while low perceived HIV risk, side effects, negative emotional experiences, and negative interactions with the health care system are barriers to continuation.

Summary: Through a trial integrating PrEP delivery in public HIV care clinics in Kenya, high uptake, reasonable continuation with high adherence, frequent PrEP restarts, and low HIV incidence were observed, demonstrating the feasibility of integrating PrEP services within public HIV care clinics in Africa.

Summary: Studies show that depressive symptoms play a mediating role between sexual assault and ART adherence, particularly among adults aged 35-49. There are associations between sexual assault, depression, and ART adherence, especially among individuals aged 35-49 and men.

Summary: The reasons for food loss are still unclear, and successful cases of reducing losses are rare; the new proposed measurement methods take into account all stages from pre-harvest to product distribution, with losses highest at the producer level and actual losses being underestimated.

Summary: Producer education and experience, as well as years involved in crop production, are significantly correlated with reducing food losses. Challenges to increasing production of higher quality food and reasons for food losses include unfavorable climatic conditions, pests, diseases, limited knowledge and access to resources. Targeted policies are needed to address food loss prevention.

Summary: By optimizing the intrinsic performance of tests not considered the gold standard for COVID-19 diagnosis on specific target populations, the scale of our testing arsenal was expanded while molecular resources were conserved for more severely ill patients.

Summary: The study showed that using intranasal sufentanil for acute pain in the emergency department led to better pain relief at 15 and 30 minutes compared to standard care, but there was no significant difference in pain relief after 30 minutes. Side effects like vertigo, nausea, vomiting, and diaphoresis were more frequently observed in the sufentanil group.

Summary: Livestock production faces significant challenges in terms of sustainability, and there is a need for sustainable livestock systems that are environmentally friendly, economically viable, and socially acceptable. This paper proposes a method that assesses the diversity and sustainability of production systems within one agricultural sector, without compromising either aspect. The method is tested on the Walloon dairy and beef sectors and shows the importance of complementing sustainability assessments with diversity assessments.

Summary: Cattle production in Europe faces challenges regarding sustainability and excessive animal protein consumption. The protein transition, seen as a solution to environmental problems and healthier diets, has unclear implications for livestock farmers. Investigations in Wallonia, Belgium, show that reducing herd size, increasing pasture usage, and improving feed self-sufficiency can benefit dairy farmers economically. In the beef sector, however, changes are more likely to be driven by policy choices rather than economic factors.
