The role of syringe exchange programs and sexual identity in awareness of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for male persons who inject drugs
Testing for comorbid conditions among people with HIV in medical care
People living with HIV (PLWH) are frequently affected by comorbid medical conditions. Despite the importance of diagnosing and treating these conditions, testing rates for common comorbidities often fall short of primary care recommendations for PLWH. Clinical care data were obtained from the 2012 New York City (NYC) Medical Monitoring Project (MMP), a multi-site surveillance project that includes demographically representative cohorts of PLWH re…
Place-based predictors of HIV viral suppression and durable suppression among heterosexuals in New York city
Scant research has explored place-based correlates of achieving and maintaining HIV viral load suppression among heterosexuals living with HIV. We conducted multilevel analyses to examine associations between United Hospital Fund (UHF)-level characteristics and individual-level viral suppression and durable viral suppression among individuals with newly diagnosed HIV in New York City (NYC) who have heterosexual HIV transmission risk. Individual-l…
Reduction in Gaps in High CD4 Count and Viral Suppression Between Transgender and Cisgender Persons Living With HIV in New York City, 2007–2016
Objectives. To compare trends in HIV outcomes for cisgender and transgender persons living with HIV (PLWH) in New York City. Methods. We used HIV surveillance data for the analysis. We based CD4 count on the last measurement in a calendar year and defined viral suppression as the last viral load being less than or equal to 200 copies per milliliter in the calendar year. Results. The estimated number of PLWH increased from 73 415 in 2007 to 83 299…
Preexposure Prophylaxis Monitoring in New York City: A Public Health Approach
The scale-up of preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) represents a paradigm shift in HIV prevention that poses unique challenges for public health programs. Monitoring of PrEP implementation at the population level is a national priority, with particular significance in New York City (NYC) given the substantial HIV burden and the prominence of PrEP in state and local Ending the Epidemic program plans. We highlight the importance of local monitoring and …
Undiagnosed HIV and HCV Infection in a New York City Emergency Department, 2015
Objectives. To measure undiagnosed HIV and HCV in a New York City emergency department (ED). Methods. We conducted a blinded cross-sectional serosurvey with remnant serum from specimens originally drawn for clinical indications in the ED. Serum was deduplicated and matched to (1) the hospital’s electronic medical record and (2) the New York City HIV and HCV surveillance registries for evidence of previous diagnosis before being deidentified and t…
Persistent Racial Disparities in HIV Infection in the USA: HIV Prevalence Matters
HIV Diagnoses and Care Among Transgender Persons and Comparison With Men Who Have Sex With Men: New York City, 2006–2011
Objectives. We measured HIV care outcomes of transgender persons, who have high HIV infection rates but are rarely distinguished from men who have sex with men (MSM) in HIV surveillance systems. Methods. New York City’s surveillance registry includes HIV diagnoses since 2000 and HIV laboratory test results for transgender persons since 2005. We determined immunological status at diagnosis, delayed linkage to care, and nonachievement of viral supp…
