Epidemiology of tuberculosis and HIV coinfections in Singapore, 2000 –2014
Cross‐matching of records between Singapore's tuberculosis and HIV registries showed that 3.3% of individuals with tuberculosis (TB) were coinfected with HIV (2000−2014), the TB incidence among individuals with HIV infection was 1.65 per 100 person‐years, and 53% of coinfections were diagnosed within 1 month of each other. The findings supported joint prevention programmes for early diagnosis and treatment. (Source: HIV Medicine)

InterPrEP: internet ‐based pre‐exposure prophylaxis with generic tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtrictabine in London – analysis of pharmacokinetics, safety and outcomes
ConclusionsIn a population at high risk of HIV acquisition, who cannot yet access PrEP on the NHS, concentrations of TFV and FTC in generic formulations purchased over the internet were similar to (or slightly higher than) those measured in phase I studies with the original formulation from Gilead (Truvada™), which has demonstrated high levels of protection against HIV infection in previous PrEP clinical trials.

Prevalence of HIV ‐1 transmitted drug resistance in the incarcerated population
ConclusionsA high prevalence of TDR was identified in the ARV‐naïve incarcerated population. The results of this study indicate an increased prevalence of TDR in a largely unstudied incarcerated population, demonstrating the need for increased monitoring of resistance in HIV‐infected patients world‐wide.

Assessment of mode of delivery and predictors of emergency caesarean section among women living with HIV in a matched ‐pair setting with women from the general population in Denmark, 2002−2014
ConclusionsIncreasing numbers of WLWH deliver vaginally. Despite virological suppression, more WLWH plan and deliver by ECS than WGP. WLWH had a twofold higher risk of EmCS compared with WGP. (Source: HIV Medicine)
