High prevalences of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have been reported in the current global monkeypox outbreak, which has affected primarily gay, bisexual, men who sex with (MSM) (1-5).

Monkeypox, HIV, STI surveillance data from eight U.S. jurisdictions* were matched analyzed to examine diagnoses among persons assess differences features according status. Among 1,969 during...
Mother-to-child-transmission of HIV in the United States has been greatly reduced, with clear benefits for child. However, little is known about factors that predict maternal loss to care postpartum year. This retrospective cohort study included 980 HIV-positive women, diagnosed at least one year before pregnancy, who had a live birth during 2008-2010 New York State.

To identify factors associated with continuity of care and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) virologic suppression among postpartum women diagnosed HIV during pregnancy in New York State.This retrospective cohort study was conducted 228 HIV-infected between 2008 2010. Initial receipt HIV-related medical (first CD4 or viral load test after diagnosis) evaluated at 30 days diagnosis before delivery. Retention (2 more tests, 90 greater apart) (viral 200 copies/mL less) were the 12 months...
The 2022 global mpox outbreak created an opportunity to test the utility of molecular HIV surveillance (MHS) identify high-risk transmission networks. Individuals diagnosed with in New York State (NYS) outside City-[Rest (ROS)] were matched NYS and sexually transmitted infection registries. demographic characteristics individuals ROS mirror national trends. HIV-mpox comorbid more likely be included clusters compared persons living overall, men who have sex (MSM) ROS, age-adjusted MSM (to...
Abstract The “Undetectable = Untransmittable” campaign indicates that persons living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) who maintain a suppressed viral load cannot sexually transmit the virus. However, there is little knowledge of percent individuals at population level sustain suppression long term. aims this study were to: (1) establish baseline diagnosed HIV resided in New York and had consecutive tests; (2) describe risk virologic failure among those consecutively suppressed; (3)...

The focus of this case study is the delayed diagnosis a perinatal HIV transmission, which was identified when infant reached 4 months age, and social conditions structural determinants that contributed to increased transmission risk. Despite adhering diagnostic testing protocols neonatal antiretroviral (ARV) guidelines New York State Department Health, still occurred. This event prompted strategies address criminalization substance use during pregnancy reevaluation treatment protocols,...
