Barriers and missed opportunities in PrEP uptake, use and care among men who have sex with men with recent HIV infection in the Netherlands.

Introduction: Oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) prevents Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) acquisition. In the Netherlands, PrEP is accessible through the national PrEP program (NPP) or general practitioners (GP). Still, some men who have sex with men (MSM) entering HIV care indicated having PrEP experience prior to diagnosis.

[Early hospital discharge for patients with COVID-19: evaluation of the transmural healthcare program in Amsterdam].

Objective: Evaluation of an early discharge program for COVID-19-patients who still required additional oxygen support, supervised by their own general practitioner (GP) in a home setting. We evaluated safety and gathered experiences from patients, caregivers and GPs.

Design: Cohort study (prospective and retrospective inclusion) METHOD: Adult COVID-19-patients admitted to one of the three Amsterdam hospitals, the Netherlands, were eligible when clinically stable for at least 48 hours, with a minimum oxygen saturation of 94% and a maximum of 3 l/min oxygen support.
