Performance of existing and novel surveillance case definitions for Covid-19 in household contacts of PCR-confirmed Covid-19
Existing COVID-19 case definitions appropriately screened in household contacts with COVID-19. Novel symptom combinations incorporating taste or smell dysfunction as a primary component improved accuracy. Case definitions tailored for children versus adults should be further explored
Comparisons of disparities and risks of HIV infection in black and other men who have sex with men in Canada, UK, and USA
