<h3>Context</h3>Incidence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the United States has not been directly measured. New assays that differentiate recent vs long-standing HIV infections allow improved estimation incidence.<h3>Objective</h3>To estimate incidence States.<h3>Design, Setting, and Patients</h3>Remnant diagnostic serum specimens from patients 13 years or older newly diagnosed with during 2006 22 states were tested BED HIV-1 capture enzyme immunoassay to classify as long-standing....

The estimated number of new HIV infections in the United States reflects leading edge epidemic. Previously, CDC incidence 2006 as 56,300 (95% CI: 48,200-64,500). We updated estimate and calculated for 2007-2009 using improved methodology.We surveillance data from 16 states 2 cities a modification our previously described stratified extrapolation method based on sample survey approach with multiple imputation, stratification, to account missing heterogeneity testing behavior among population...

Background: CDC has not previously calculated disease rates for men who have sex with (MSM) because there is no single comprehensive source of data on population size. To inform prevention planning, developed a national size estimate MSM to calculate metrics HIV and syphilis. Methods: We conducted systematic literature search identified seven surveys that provided same-sex behavior in nationally representative samples. Data were pooled by three recall periods combined using meta-analytic...

In February 2019, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services proposed a strategic initiative to end human immunodeficiency (HIV) epidemic in United States by reducing new HIV infections 90% during 2020-2030* (1). Phase 1 Ending Epidemic focuses on Washington, DC; San Juan, Puerto Rico; 48 counties where majority diagnoses infection 2016 2017 were concentrated seven states with disproportionate occurrence rural areas relative other states.† One four pillars is protecting persons at risk...

The best indicator of the impact human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention programs is incidence infection; however, HIV a chronic infection and diagnoses may include infections that occurred years before diagnosis. Alternative methods to estimate use diagnoses, stage disease, laboratory assays recency.

Persons who inject drugs (PWID) are at increased risk for poor health outcomes and bloodborne infections, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C B infections. Although substantial progress has been made in reducing HIV infections among PWID, recent changes drug use could challenge this success.CDC used National Surveillance System data to analyze trends diagnoses.
