Loose Women star Sophie Morgan has opened up about having her wheelchair equipment and blue badge stolen. ‘My blue badge got stolen and that was just literally the most disabling thing because I depend on these things to give me the freedom.'
, she said: ‘It was just folded up in the back of the car. But just to be clear, that was in the middle of the day on the busy residential streets.
The Loose Women star also talked about how her disability permit was stolen, saying: ‘That was a few months ago; the same car got broken into.‘My blue badge got stolen and that was just literally the most disabling thing because… I depend on these things to give me the freedom and independence. ‘It’s really frustrating. I mean, having anything stolen from you is violating and infuriating but I think it’s when it comes to these sorts of items that you think, “I really can’t live without them” and I don’t know how much value they give to your life.’

Epidemiology of co-infections in pregnant women living with human immunodeficiency virus 1 in rural Gabon: a cross-sectional study - Infectious Diseases of PovertyBackground There is no recent epidemiological data on HIV infection in Gabon, particularly in pregnant women. To close this gap, an HIV-prevalence survey was conducted among Gabonese pregnant women, followed by a cross-sectional case–control study in which the prevalence of various co-infections was compared between HIV-positive and HIV-negative pregnant women. Methods Between 2018 and 2019, data for the HIV-prevalence survey were collected retrospectively in 21 Gabonese antenatal care centres (ANCs). Subsequently, for the prospective co-infection study, all HIV-positive pregnant women were recruited who frequented the ANC in Lambaréné and a comparator sub-sample of HIV-negative pregnant women was recruited; these activities were performed from February 2019 to February 2020. The mean number of co-infections was ascertained and compared between HIV-positive and HIV-negative women. Additionally, the odds for being co-infected with at least one co-infection was evaluated and compared between HIV-positive and HIV-negative women. Results HIV-positivity was 3.9% (646/16,417) among pregnant women. 183 pregnant women were recruited in the co-infection study. 63% of HIV-positive and 75% of HIV-negative pregnant women had at least one co-infection. There was a trend indicating that HIV-negative women were more often co-infected with sexually transmitted infections (STIs) than HIV-positive women [mean (standard deviation, SD): 2.59 (1.04) vs 2.16 (1.35), respectively; P = 0.056]; this was not the case for vector-borne infections [mean (SD): 0.47 (0.72) vs 0.43 (0.63), respectively; P = 0.59]. Conclusions Counterintuitively, the crude odds for concomitant STIs was lower in HIV-positive than in HIV-negative women. The change of magnitude from the crude to adjusted OR is indicative for a differential sexual risk factor profile among HIV-positive and HIV-negative women in this population. This might potentially be explained by the availability of sexual health care counselling fo
