Os autores relatam o caso de um homem de 24 anos, ...
Determinants of HIV-1 Transmission Clusters and Transmitted Drug Resistance in ...
Abrantes, Ricardo; Pimentel, Victor; Sebastião, Cruz; Miranda, Mafalda N S; Seabra, Sofia; Silva, Ana Rita; Diniz, António; Ascenção, BiancaIntroduction: In the EU/EEA, men who have sex with men (MSM) is a priority group for the prevention and control of HIV-1 infection. In Portugal, the 2023 HIV incidence rate was 8.2 per 100,000 inhabitants, with 876 new infections, 41.7% in MSM. We aim to characterize HIV-1 transmission clusters (TC) and transmitted drug resistance (TDR) and its sociodemographic, behavioral, clinical, and viral genomic determina...

Abrantes, Ricardo; Pimentel, Victor; Miranda, Mafalda N. S.; Silva, Ana Rita; Diniz, António; Ascenção, Bianca; Piñeiro, Carmela; Koch, CarmoIntroduction: HIV late presentation (LP) remains excessive in Europe. We aimed to analyze the factors associated with late presentation in the MSM population newly diagnosed with HIV in Portugal between 2014 and 2019. Methods: We included 391 newly HIV-1 diagnosed Men who have Sex with Men (MSM), from the BESTHOPE project, in 17 countrywide Portuguese hospitals. The data included clinical and socio-behavioral q...

Vera, José; Gomes, André; Póvoas, Diana; Seixas, Diana; Maltez, Fernando; Pedroto, Isabel; Maia, Luís; Mota, Margarida; Vieira, Maria JoãoIntroduction: Information about pan-genotypic treatments for hepatitis in Portugal is scarce. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of glecaprevir plus pibrentasvir (GLE/PIB) treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in real-world clinical practice.Methods: An observational prospective study was implemented in six hospitals with 121 adult HCV patients who initiated treatment with GLE/PIB betwe...

Pingarilho, Marta; Pimentel, Victor; Miranda, Mafalda N. S.; Silva, Ana Rita; Diniz, António; Ascenção, Bianca Branco; Piñeiro, Carmela; Koch, CarmoObjective: To describe and analyze transmitted drug resistance (TDR) between 2014 and 2019 in newly infected patients with HIV-1 in Portugal and to characterize its transmission networks. Methods: Clinical, socioepidemiological, and risk behavior data were collected from 820 newly diagnosed patients in Portugal between September 2014 and December 2019. The sequences obtained from drug resistance testing were us...

Caria, João; Pinto, Raquel; Leal, Ema; Almeida, Vasco; Cristóvão, Gonçalo; Gonçalves, Ana Catarina; Torres, Margarida; Santos, Maria BeatrizMonkeypox, a neglected and re-emergent zoonotic disease caused by monkeypox virus (MPXV) infection, has been endemic in Central and Western Africa for decades. More recently, an outbreak has spread to a global level, occurring in sites with no previous reported cases and being clustered among men who have sex with men, suggesting new modes of transmission. There is an urgent need for research for a better under...
