Abstract
Being one of the most important exocrine fluids of the human body, saliva can reflect the health status of the body. Soliva collection has various advantages--it is simple, painless, fast, and safe, and soliva can be collected multiple times a day. Therefore, it has been gradually applied in the exploration for biomarkers for disease detection, providing a basis for the monitoring of the course of diseases, medication monitoring, and efficacy evaluation. We should implement health management based on saliva testing, collect the medical data of the healthy and diseased individuals and monitor their whole life cycle health, perform clinical cohort study, aggregate the data on platforms for big data on health and medicine, manage and provide guidance for the health status of populations, pinpoint the high-risk factors for pathogenesis, and provide effective intervention, early warning, and assessment of the vital signs of individuals, thereby reinforcing health management of the whole life cycle and safeguarding people's health in an all-round way. In addition, it drives the development of the health industry and bears strategic significance for the promotion of national economic development. It is becoming a hot research topic promising great potential and impressive applicational prospects. Herein, we reviewed new techniques for clinical saliva testing and health management based on saliva testing.

Pediatric HIV Pre-test Informational Video is Associated with Higher Knowledge Scores Compared to Counselor-Delivered Information. AIDS Behav 2022; 26:3775-3782. [PMID: 35674886 PMCID: PMC9176162 DOI: 10.1007/s10461-022-03706-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 05/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022]
Abstract
Video-based pre-test information is used in high resource settings to increase HIV testing coverage but remains untested in resource-limited settings. We conducted formative and evaluative focus group discussions with healthcare workers (HCWs) and caregivers of children in Kenya to develop and refine a pediatric HIV pre-test informational video. We then assessed HIV knowledge among caregivers sequentially enrolled in one of three pre-test information groups: (1) individual HCW-led (N = 50), (2) individual video-based (N = 50), and (3) group video-based (N = 50) sessions. A brief video incorporating information on national pediatric testing, modes of HIV transmission, and dramatized testimonials of caregivers who tested children was produced in three languages. Compared to individual HCW-led sessions (mean: 7.2/9; standard deviation [SD]: 1.3), both the group video-based (mean: 7.7; SD: 0.9) and individual video-based (mean: 7.6; SD: 0.9) sessions had higher mean knowledge scores. Video-based pre-test information could enhance existing pediatric HIV testing services.
