    Abstract Collective antiretroviral protection is an evolving sexual health strategy in HIV prevention, used in particular by gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men. The strategy involves HIV-negative individuals who engage in condomless sexual activities but, instead of using pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) themselves, choose partners who either have undetectable viral loads or are on PrEP. This biomedical-sorting practice, rooted in the scientific principles of undetectable equals untransmittable (U=U) and PrEP, relies on an indirect protection strategy. Collective antiretroviral protection allows for HIV-negative individuals not on PrEP to benefit from their partner's antiretroviral use, without directly consuming antiretrovirals themselves for HIV prevention, during condomless sex. Empirical research is needed to evaluate the public health implications of this emerging sexual health approach. Research and public health initiatives should adopt a non-stigmatising approach to individuals engaging in collective antiretroviral protection and look beyond individual behaviour to understand the broader community-level effects of this innovative HIV prevention strategy.

    Abstract Use of the word "Latinx" has risen in popularity among both academics and nonacademics to promote a gender-inclusive alternative to otherwise linguistically gendered terms of "Latino/a." While critics claim the term is inappropriate for populations without gender-diverse individuals, or those of unknown demographic composition, increasing usage and among younger communities signals an important shift in centering the intersectional experiences of transgender and gender-diverse people. Amid these shifts, what are the implications for epidemiologic methods? We provide some brief historical context for the origin of the word "Latinx" along with its alternative "Latine" and discuss the potential consequences of its use for participant recruitment and study validity. Additionally, we provide suggestions for the best use of "Latino" compared with "Latinx/e" in several contextual circumstances. We recommend using "Latinx" or "Latine" in large populations, even without detailed data on gender, since there is likely gender diversity in the population, albeit unmeasured. In participant-facing recruitment or study documents, additional context is needed to determine which identifier is most appropriate.

    Abstract To explore the narrowing of the concept of 'global' in global health, this article traces how Latin America has held a place of both privilege and power as well as marginalisation in the field. We employ a modified extended case method to examine how Latin America has been 'seen' and 'heard' in understandings of global health, underscoring the region's shifting role as a key site for research and practice in 'tropical medicine' from the mid-nineteenth century through World War II, to a major player and recipient of development assistance throughout the 'international health' era after World War II until the late twentieth century, to a region progressively marginalised within 'global health' since the mid-1980s/1990s. We argue that the progressive marginalisation of Latin America and Southern theory has not only hurt health equity and services, but also demonstrates the fundamental flaws in contemporary 'global' thinking. The narrowing of global health constitutes coloniality of power, with Northern institutions largely defining priority regions and epistemic approaches to health globally, thus impoverishing the field from the intellectual resources, political experience, and wisdom of Latin America's long traditions of social medicine and collective health.

    Abstract Background and aims: Identifying effective opioid treatment options during pregnancy is a high priority due to the growing prevalence of opioid use disorder across North America. We assessed the temporal impact of three population-level interventions on the use of opioid agonist treatment (OAT) during pregnancy in Ontario, Canada.
    Design: This was a population-based time-series analysis to identify trends in the monthly prevalence of pregnant people dispensed methadone and buprenorphine. The impact of adding buprenorphine/naloxone to the public drug formulary, the release of pregnancy-specific guidance and the start of the COVID-19 pandemic were assessed.
    Setting and participants: The study was conducted in Ontario, Canada between 1 July 2013 and 31 March 2022, comprising people who delivered a live or stillbirth in any Ontario hospital during the study period.
    Measurements: We identified any prescription for methadone or buprenorphine dispensed between the estimated conception date and delivery date and calculated the monthly prevalence of OAT-exposed pregnancies among all pregnant people in Ontario.
    Findings: Overall, rates of OAT during pregnancy have declined since mid-2018. Methadone-exposed pregnancies decreased from 0.46% of all pregnancies in Ontario in 2015 to a low of 0.16% in 2022. In the primary analysis, none of the interventions had a statistically significant impact on overall OAT rates; however, in the stratified analyses, there was a small increase in buprenorphine after the formulary change [0.006%, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.0032-0.0081, P < 0.0001] and a decrease in buprenorphine after the release of the 2017 guidelines (-0.005%, 95% CI = -0.0080 to -0.0020, P = 0.001) and the start of the COVID-19 pandemic (-0.003%, 95% CI = -0.0054 to -0.0006, P = 0.015).
    Conclusion: Despite changes in guidance and funding, opioid agonist treatment during pregnancy has been declining in Ontario, Canada since 2018.

    Abstract The Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP) is a managed migration programme that aims to fill labour shortages in Canada's agricultural industry with Black and Brown workers from the global South. For decades, migrant workers, scholars, and advocate groups have called for fundamental changes to address power imbalances produced by the design of the SAWP. The continued operation of the SAWP during the COVID-19 pandemic has intensified the underlying structural violence that migrant labourers experience. Analysing the SAWP as a case study in how globalised labour processes dehumanise and make workers disposable, we argue that it is one component in a web of social and structural factors rooted in colonialism and racial capitalism, constituting the

    Abstract Advancements in long-acting (LA) HIV treatment and cure research with analytical treatment interruptions (ATIs) have generated important scientific and implementation questions. There is an urgent need to examine challenges navigating the evolving HIV treatment and cure research landscape. From August to October 2022, we conducted 26 semistructured interviews with biomedical researchers and community members representing a predominantly woman demographic to explore the complexity of navigating the rapidly evolving HIV therapeutic and HIV cure research landscape. We purposively sampled individuals recruited from the AIDS Clinical Trials Group and the Martin Delaney Collaboratories for HIV Cure Research. Audio files were transcribed verbatim and analyzed through a thematic approach, using an inductive and iterative process. Among 26 participants, 10 were biomedical researchers and 16 community members, including 11 were people with HIV. Three main themes emerged: (1) We are at a pivotal moment in the evolving landscape of HIV therapeutics and LA HIV treatment and HIV cure research should not be siloed but considered together; (2) There are challenges with engagement in HIV cure research and in switching between oral daily antiretroviral treatment and LA formulations and, mainly, the prolonged pharmacokinetic tail of these compounds matched with limited patient education about their impacts; and (3) There are unique opportunities as a result of this evolving therapeutic landscape, including the key role of decision support for people with HIV, centering around patient autonomy, and the need to learn from the lived experiences of people with HIV who choose LA treatment and/or participation in HIV cure research. Despite a bias toward the woman gender, our study identifies key considerations for navigating concurrent LA HIV treatment and HIV cure research with ATIs from both community members and biomedical researchers' perspectives. Achieving optimal HIV control remains a formidable challenge, necessitating robust interdisciplinary collaborations and engagement with key stakeholders.

    Abstract In February 2021, the Peruvian 'vaccinegate' scandal broke when the media reported that nearly 500 experimental doses of an ongoing COVID-19 trial were given to key individuals not enrolled in the trial. Indeed, vaccine doses were administered to leading politicians, such as the former President and his wife, and other high-level health officials and academic leaders at the universities overseeing ethical compliance and administration of the trial. The 'vaccinegate' scandal in Peru is but one example of how the lack of a coordinated global response to COVID-19 has allowed countries to act in the best interest of some, ultimately, failing to secure a democratic approach to the right to health for all during a global pandemic. While Peruvian vaccinegate is an example of the egregious use of power to further cronyism amid fear and mounting COVID-19 related death, unfortunately, it is not an anomaly. We argue that the sensationalisation of the event has distracted from the existing precarious health system in Peru and the ways in which long-existing abuses of power evident prior to the pandemic limit a just response to it.
