Mashup Score: 12Updates to HIV transmission rate estimates along the HIV... : JAIDS Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes - 10 day(s) ago
el, to estimate 2019 HIV transmission rates and distribution of transmissions by the HIV care continuum, race/ethnicity, transmission group, and age group. Results: In 2019, the estimated transmission rate in the United States was 2.94 new infections per 100 person-years (inf /100p-y). Transmission rates decreased along the HIV care continuum; the highest transmission rate was associated with persons with acute HIV infection and unaware of their HIV status at 16.35 inf /100p-y, followed by persons with HIV (non-acute) and unaware of their HIV status (9.52), persons aware of their HIV status and not in care (5.96), persons receiving HIV care (on antiretroviral therapy) but not virally suppressed (4.53), and persons virally suppressed (0). The highest transmission rate by transmission group was among men who have sex with men at 3.68 inf /100p-y. Transmission rates decreased as age increased and are similar by race/ethnicity, after accounting for the HIV care continuum. Conclusion: Our r

The news that on 31 January 2025 the Trump administration instructed scientists employed by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to withdraw or retract articles from medical and science journals is sinister and ludicrous. The instruction, from Sam Posner, the CDC’s associate director for science, said that the order was for publications that included “forbidden terms” such as gender, transgender, LGBT, or transsexual, and applies to submissions that have not been accepted yet and accepted papers that have not yet been published.12 This move is part of the Trump government’s attempt to purge mentions of “gender.” The instruction follows days of vanishing CDC websites and datasets related to a range of vital health topics including immunisation, race or ethnic diversity, contraception, sexually transmitted infections and HIV treatment, and sexual and reproductive healthcare.3 It is unclear if and when these webpages and datasets will be restored, but …
