    Open AccessTeresa Finlayson, Susan Cha et al.ARTICLEMMWR. Surveillance Summaries2019

    Human Services proposed a strategic initiative to end the human immunodeficiency (HIV) epidemic in the United States by reducing new HIV infections by 90% during 2020-2030* (1). Phase 1 of the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative focuses on Washington, DC; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and 48 counties where the majority of new diagnoses of HIV infection in 2016 and 2017 were concentrated and on seven states with a disproportionate occurrence of HIV in rur…

    Open AccessElizabeth A DiNenno, Elizabeth DiNenno et al.ARTICLEMMWR. Surveillance Summaries2017

    CDC's 2006 recommendations for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing state that all persons aged 13-64 years should be screened for HIV at least once, and that persons at higher risk for HIV infection, including sexually active gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM), should be rescreened at least annually (1). Authors of reports published since 2006, including CDC (2), suggested that MSM, a group that is at highest risk for…

    Linda Beer, Christine L Mattson et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2016

    We describe receipt of clinical and prevention services, clinical outcomes, and sexual risk behaviors among young adult HIV patients in the United States during 2009-2013, using a sample designed to produce nationally representative estimates. Compared with older HIV patients, proportionately more young adults received provider-delivered prevention services and reported sexual risk behaviors. Young adults had similar care patterns as older HIV pa…

  • Vital Signs

    Open AccessDawn K Smith, Michelle Van Handel et al.ARTICLEMMWR. Surveillance Summaries2015

    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…

  • Association Between Community Socioeconomic Position and HIV Diagnosis Rate Among Adults and Adolescents in the United States, 2005 to 2009

    Qian An, Joseph Prejean et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2013Cited by: 1References: 24

    Objectives. We examined the association between socioeconomic position (SEP) and HIV diagnosis rates in the United States and whether racial/ethnic disparities in diagnosis rates persist after control for SEP. Methods. We used cases of HIV infection among persons aged 13 years and older, diagnosed 2005 through 2009 in 37 states and reported to national HIV surveillance through June 2010, and US Census data, to examine associations between county-…

  • Estimating the Population Size of Men Who Have Sex with Men in the United States to Obtain HIV and Syphilis Rates§

    Open AccessDavid W Purcell, Clieton H Johnson et al.ARTICLEThe Open AIDS Journal2012

    BACKGROUND: CDC has not previously calculated disease rates for men who have sex with men (MSM) because there is no single comprehensive source of data on population size. To inform prevention planning, CDC developed a national population size estimate for MSM to calculate disease metrics for HIV and syphilis. METHODS: We conducted a systematic literature search and identified seven surveys that provided data on same-sex behavior in nationally re…

    Laurie Linley, Joseph Prejean et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2012Cited by: 4References: 26

    Objectives. We examined racial/ethnic disparities in HIV diagnosis rates for persons aged 50 years and older. Methods. We analyzed surveillance data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regarding HIV diagnoses during 2005 through 2008 in 37 states. Average annual rates of diagnoses were calculated for persons aged 50 years and older and compared with rates for persons aged 13 to 49 years. Results. The average annual rate of diagnos…

  • Estimated HIV Incidence in the United States, 2006–2009

    Open AccessJoseph Prejean, Ruiguang Song et al.ARTICLEPLoS ONE2011

    BACKGROUND: The estimated number of new HIV infections in the United States reflects the leading edge of the epidemic. Previously, CDC estimated HIV incidence in the United States in 2006 as 56,300 (95% CI: 48,200-64,500). We updated the 2006 estimate and calculated incidence for 2007-2009 using improved methodology. METHODOLOGY: We estimated incidence using incidence surveillance data from 16 states and 2 cities and a modification of our previou…
