In the last 10 years, the number of Latin American women of childbearing age in Spain has risen from 40 385 to 109 479, which represents a 2.7‐fold increase.…”

The 2022 annual meeting of the HTLV & HIV-2 Spanish Network was held in Madrid on December 14. We summarize here the main information presented and discussed at the workshop and review time trends for human retroviral infections in Spain. As transmissible agents, infections by human retroviruses are of obligatory declaration.Until the end of 2022, the Spanish national registry had recorded 451 cases of HTLV-1, 821 of HTLV-2, and 416 of HIV-2. For HIV-1, estimates are of 150 000 people currently living with HIV-1 and 60 000 cumulative deaths due to AIDS.During year 2022, new diagnoses in Spain were of 22 for HTLV-1, 6 for HTLV-2, and 7 for HIV-2. The last updated figures for HIV-1 are from 2021 and counted 2786 new diagnoses. The slowdown in yearly infections for HIV-1 in Spain points out that new strategies are needed to achieve the United Nations 95-95-95 targets by 2025.

Our understanding of congenital infections is based on prospective studies of women infected in pregnancy. The European Union has funded three consortia to study Zika virus (ZIKV), each including a prospective study of pregnant women. Another has been funded by National Institutes of Health. This personal view sets out the study designs required to research ZIKV, and questions whether funding academics in the EU and US to work with collaborators in outbreak areas is an effective strategy. Three years after the 2015-2016 outbreaks, these collaborations have taught us little about ZIKV vertical transmission. In the time taken to approve funding, agree contracts, secure ethics approval, and equip laboratories, Zika had largely disappeared. By contrast, prospective studies based on local surveillance and standard of care (SOC) protocols have already provided valuable data. Threats to fetal and child health pose new challenges for global preparedness requiring support for the design and implementation of locally appropriate protocols. These can answer the key questions earlier and at lower cost. Local protocols can also provide a framework for recruitment of unexposed controls required to study less specific outcomes. Other priorities include accelerated development of non-invasive tests, and longer-term storage of neonatal and antenatal samples to facilitate retrospective reconstruction of cohort studies.

Twenty years trends and socio-demographic characteristics of HIV prevalence in women giving birth in Catalonia (Spain)

Abstract: To ensure early identification and treatment of HIV-infected mothers, it is essential to maintain HIV surveillance programs and pre- and post-natal screening programs, both in Barcelona and in cities with 200,000 inhabitants or less, especially in immigrant women.
