Review Article of International Research Journal of Public Health Prevalence And Particularities Associated With Positive Serology For HIV In Trans Women And Travestis Sex Professionals Angela Iasmin de Barros Ferreira1*, Gutembergmann Batista Coutinho1, Celina Cavalcante Muniz Gomes1, Guilherme Albuquerque de França Monteiro1, Gabriel Dornelas Guimarães1, Lorena Henn2 1Federal University of Pernambuco; 2Federal University of Sao Paulo Objective: This study aims to analyze the prevalence of HIV positive serology in trans women sex workers, and the main problems associated. Methods: Scientific articles were found searching data platforms (PubMed, Virtual Health Library, Web of Science and Google Scholar) as much as much as epidemiological bulletins and statistical data from the Ministério da Saúde do Brasil (Ministry of Health) and UNAIDS were included. Results: Gender violence and gender inequality can contribute to the increased vulnerability of the transgender population to HIV. Globally, trans women are 50 times more likely to be infected with HIV, with seroprevalence in Brazil ranging from 16.9% to 65.3%. Studies point to prostitution as one of the main causes of seroconversion in trans women, especially between the ages of 18 and 24 years. Due to the immense marginalization, transsexual women have an evident difficulty in entering the labor market and accessing basic rights, such as health. These factors contribute to a greater vulnerability to HIV infection. Conclusion: The Ministry of Health needs to improve more incisively the prevention and assessment strategies of the risk levels of HIV transmission, without perpetuating gender violence, including by making it invisible, which contributes to maintaining the vulnerability of the professional transsexual population of sex.

Obesity and stress rather than the thrifty gene, major risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus

Review Article of International Research Journal of Public Health Obesity and stress rather than the thrifty gene, major risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus Zelalem Tafese Hawassa University Introduction: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is becoming one of the main problems identified for public health importance by the World Health Organization (WHO) particularly in developing countries. The exact cause for T2DM   unknown for sure but multiple predisposing factors are suggested including overweight, obesity, and sedentary lifestyle and stress. Objectives: To systematically review the major risk factors for T2DM giving more emphasis in the developing world. Methodology: The search for studies was performed through Google scholar, Medline, Pubmed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases. The keywords that were used to search in the database included “T2DM” AND “predisposing factors” AND “determinants OR risk factor”, relevant articles were included for review. Results: Of the fifty-eight study results that met the inclusion criteria; the majority reported stressful life as the risk factor for type2 diabetes mellitus. Other articles noted obesity, out of which some reported obesity linked with the 'thrifty gene' as a risk factor. Furthermore, the remaining reports suggested genetic traits, aging, lack of exercise, and insulin resistance, and infections all contribute to the risk of diabetes. Conclusion: Although not everyone with T2DM is overweight, the presence of obesity, lack of physical activity, and stressful life increase the chances of acquiring T2DM. But it is doubtful to accept the thrifty gene hypothesis to play a role in the higher proportion of diabetes. This review highlights the need for a further study focused on finding a new approach to manage and prevent diabetes is recommended.
