Vital Signs
BACKGROUND: In 2014, approximately 40,000 persons in the United States received a diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) with daily oral antiretroviral medication is a new, highly effective intervention that could reduce the number of new HIV infections. METHODS: CDC analyzed nationally representative data to estimate the percentages and numbers of persons in the United States, by transmission ri…
Trends in HIV Prevalence and HIV Testing Among Young MSM
A Plausible Causal Model of Haart-Efficacy Beliefs, HIV/Aids Complacency, and HIV-Acquisition Risk Behavior Among Young Men Who Have Sex with Men
HIV Counseling and Testing Among Hispanics at CDC-Funded Sites in the United States, 2007
Objectives. We sought to determine whether Hispanic–White HIV testing disparities exist and to identify characteristics associated with newly diagnosed HIV among Hispanics. Methods. We used 2007 HIV Counseling and Testing System data to compare test-level records of Hispanics and non-Hispanic Whites, and we conducted a multivariate logistic regression analysis to identify characteristics associated with newly diagnosed HIV. Results. Relative to W…
HIV Prevention Services Received at Health Care and HIV Test Providers by Young Men who Have Sex with Men
The Young Men’s Survey Phase II
Objectives. We measured the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) immunization and HBV infection among men aged 23 to 29 years who have sex with men. Methods. We analyzed data from 2834 men who have sex with men in 6 US metropolitan areas. Participants were interviewed and tested for serologic markers of immunization and HBV infection in 1998 through 2000. Results. Immunization prevalence was 17.2%; coverage was 21.0% among participants with priv…
Prevalence of HIV Infection and Prior HIV Testing among Young Men Who have Sex with Men. The Baltimore Young Men’s Survey
Assessing Representativeness of Sampling Methods for Reaching Men Who Have Sex with Men
Prevalence of HIV Infection and Predictors of High-Transmission Sexual Risk Behaviors Among Men Who Have Sex With Men
Objectives. We sought to determine the prevalence of HIV and novel cofactors of high-transmission-risk behavior in a probability sample of men who have sex with men (MSM). Methods. We performed a cross-sectional telephone survey of 1976 adult MSM in San Francisco. Results. We found an HIV prevalence of 25.2%. Predictors of unprotected insertive anal intercourse with a serodiscordant (not having the same HIV/AIDS serostatus) partner among HIV-infe…
Associations Between Substance Use and Sexual Risk Among Very Young Men Who Have Sex With Men
HIV prevention strategies for young MSM need to incorporate substance use risk reduction.
Violence and HIV-related risk among young men who have sex with men
Limited research has been conducted on threats or violence by family members and sexual partners against young men who have sex with men (MSM). Young MSM, aged 15-22 years, who attended public venues in New York City were enrolled in an anonymous, cross-sectional HIV seroprevalence and risk-behavior study. About two-thirds (68%) of the young MSM reported ever experiencing threats or violence from either family or partners and 25% reported threats…
Perceptions of Lifetime Risk and Actual Risk for Acquiring HIV Among Young Men Who Have Sex with Men
Unrecognized HIV Infection, Risk Behaviors, and Perceptions of Risk Among Young Men Who Have Sex With Men
This study evaluated the magnitude and distribution of unrecognized HIV infection among young men who have sex with men (MSM) and of those with unrecognized infection, the prevalence and correlates of unprotected anal intercourse (UAI), perceived low risk for infection, and delayed HIV testing. MSM aged 15-29 years were approached, interviewed, counseled, and tested for HIV at 263 randomly sampled venues in 6 US cities from 1994-2000. Of 5649 MSM…
Depression and HIV Risk Behavior among Seattle-Area Injection Drug Users and Young Men Who Have Sex With Men
Psychological depression has been identified as a condition that may influence HIV risk behavior among injection drug users (IDUs) and men who have sex with men (MSM). In two Seattle studies, 1,228 IDUs and 429 young MSM completed the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D); the relationship between depression and injection and sexual risk behavior was assessed using logistic regression analysis. Forty-seven percent of IDUs had …
The Effect of Partner Characteristics on HIV Infection Among African American Men Who Have Sex With Men in the Young Men's Survey, Los Angeles, 1999–2000
Previous studies have documented disparities in HIV prevalence by race among men who have sex with men (MSM), even after adjusting for traditional risk factors. In this analysis of data collected for the 1999-2000 Los Angeles Young Men's Survey, a cross-sectional venue-based survey of MSM aged 23-29, we investigated whether information on male sex-partner characteristics accounts for some of the racial/ethnic differences in HIV prevalence. In thi…
Regional Patterns and Correlates of Substance Use Among Young Men Who Have Sex With Men in 7 US Urban Areas
Objectives. We sought to characterize substance use patterns in young men who have sex with men (MSM) in 7 US urban areas and sociodemographic characteristics and history associated with such use. Methods. We examined data collected from 1994 through 1998 in a venue-based, cross-sectional survey. Results. Among the 3492 participants, 66% reported use of illicit drugs; 28%, use of 3 or more drugs; 29%, frequent drug use (once a week or more); and …
HIV Prevalence and Associated Risks in Young Men Who Have Sex With Men
CONTEXT: Studies conducted in the late 1980s on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection among older men who have sex with men (MSM) suggested the epidemic had peaked; however, more recent studies in younger MSM have suggested continued high HIV incidence. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the current state of the HIV epidemic among adolescent and young adult MSM in the United States by assessing the prevalence of HIV infection and associated risks i…
Hiv Risk Behavior of Runaway Youth in San Francisco
The purpose of this study was to describe HIV risk behavior among runaway youth in San Francisco by age at onset and sexual orientation. Participants were a cross-sectional sample (N = 334) of male and female youth aged 12 to 21 years seeking health care at two clinics serving runaway youth. Gay/lesbian/bisexual youth reported higher levels and earlier onset of sexual and drug-using behavior compared with their heterosexual counterparts. Gay/lesb…

Applied Dimensions in Biomedical Anthropology
Anthropometry, the systematic measurement of human body dimensions and composition using standardized procedures, has long been one of the physical anthropologist's most important methods. Early work in biomedical anthropology used anthropometric variables to test associations among body types, body characteristics, and diseases. Today there is a renewed interest in anthropometry, ratios and equations derived from anthropometric measurements, and…
