HIV care indicators during the Covid-19 pandemic in relation to pre-pandemic care patterns among people with HIV in North Carolina
The COVID-19 pandemic abruptly altered the way HIV care was accessed and delivered. We sought to assess HIV care indicators during the COVID-19 pandemic in relation to pre-pandemic HIV care patterns in North Carolina. Using statewide HIV surveillance data and group-based trajectory models, we identified pre-pandemic HIV care trajectories in two partially overlapping populations: (1) newly HIV-diagnosed from March 2014 through February 2018, follo…
HIV Care Linkage and Initial Viral Suppression Among Persons Newly Diagnosed With HIV in North Carolina Before and After the Start of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Objectives. To examine changes to HIV care outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods. We used North Carolina HIV surveillance data between 2018 and 2022 to calculate cumulative incidence differences (CIDs) and subdistribution hazard ratios (sdHRs) for (1) 30-day initial HIV care linkage, (2) 150-day stable linkage, and (3) 180-day viral suppression, comparing persons diagnosed with HIV during (starting March 1, 2020) versus before the pandem…
HIV Outbreak Control With Effective Access to Care and Harm Reduction in North Carolina, 2017–2018
Objectives. To assess and control a potential outbreak of HIV among people who inject drugs in Western North Carolina. Methods. Disease intervention specialists offered testing for hepatitis B and hepatitis C, harm reduction materials, and linkage to care to 7 linked people recently diagnosed with HIV who also injected drugs. Contacts were offered the same services and HIV testing. HIV genotype analysis was used to characterize HIV spread. We ass…

We Can Have It All
Objectives. We assessed the timeliness, accuracy, and cost of a new electronic disease surveillance system at the local health department level. We describe practices associated with lower cost and better surveillance timeliness and accuracy. Methods. Interviews conducted May through August 2010 with local health department (LHD) staff at a simple random sample of 30 of 100 North Carolina counties provided information on surveillance practices an…
