Position Statement
Diabetes Care2018;42(Suppl. 1):S1–S194.
WHO recommends replacing western blotting and line immunoassays with simpler tests in HIV testing services. These simpler tests include rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) that can be used at the point-of-care, and enzyme immunoassays (EIAs).
These tests get results to the client faster, produce accura...te results more often, cost less, can be performed by various cadres of health providers, and can thus facilitate greater access and uptake of HIV testing services among those who need it most.

The report shows that where people and communities living with and affected by HIV are engaged in decision-making and HIV service delivery, new infections decline and more people living with HIV gain access to treatment. When people have the power to choose, to know, to thrive, to demand and to work... together, lives are saved, injustices are prevented and dignity is restored.

The meningitis road map has been designated as a flagship global strategy of the WHO’s Thirteenth General Programme of Work, 2019–2023 and is an essential component in achieving universal health coverage.
The road map will reinforce and combine with wider initiatives, such as those aimed at s...trengthening primary health care and health systems, increasing immunization coverage, improving global health security, fighting antimicrobial resistance and advocating for the rights of persons with disabilities.

Assessment and management of prolonged symptoms of COVID-19.
Introdução
Apesar de inicialmente ter sido considerada uma infecção aguda do sistema respiratório,
atualmente sabe-se do comprometimento multissistêmico e protraído da COVID-19 em alguns indivíduos [1]. Segundo dados prelimi...nares de estudos observacionais, estima-se que aproximadamente 10% dos pacientes com quadros leves a moderados de COVID-19 apresentam sintomas prolongados, que duram 3 semanas ou mais [2]. Essa condição tem sido chamada de COVID “longa”, “pós-aguda” ou
“síndrome pós-COVID-19”. Entre os pacientes que necessitam internação, especialmente em UTI, estes sintomas residuais podem ser muito mais frequentes: mais que 80% dos pacientes reportaram ao menos 1 sintoma após 60 dias do início do quadro.
