5/ Individuals in the lowest per capita household income quintile were more likely to have SARS-CoV-2 infection (PR = 1.89, 95% CI 1.21–2.95) than those in the highest.
4/ Relative to individuals who self-identified as having Black or Brown skin color using IBGE-defined categories, White had a 22% lower prevalence of seropositivity (PR = 0.78, 95% CI 0.63–0.97).
3/ During health emergencies, studies such as the AVISA were vital to understanding SARS-CoV-2 dynamics in different population groups. For families enrolled in the ESF, participants in the Northeast and North regions had 1.48- and 1.38-times higher prevalence.
2/ Importantly, we document that the overall weighted seroprevalence was 35.66% (95% CI: 30.55–40.77) in 2,986 participants who depend on the ESF. Thus, our study shows that seroprevalence was much higher in this group than in studies with samples representative of the population
‼️ New paper alert 📓

An analysis of scientific papers reveals a new threat. LLMs can rewrite studies using open data, creating redundant papers that pass plagiarism detection. This AI-driven approach risks flooding journals with low-quality, synthetic research. #AcademicSky

I am stunned to receive a peer review from a colleague using AI that was not caught by editors at a journal. Curious to know if others are experiencing similar violations of peer review conduct and how this is being addressed more systematically.

The US helped ensure a world on the verge of controlling HIV as a public health threat. This could have cemented their legacy. Now, people may remember that the US pulled out.
Read @jasongale.bsky.social on the HIV miracle that wasn't because the US pulled the plug.
