Locations and Reasons for Initial Testing for Hepatitis C Infection — Chronic Hepatitis Cohort Study, United States, 2006-2010

This report presents results of a survey to understand where and why individuals with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection got their intial testing. An analysis of 2006–2010 survey results from 4,689 participants in the Chronic Hepatitis Cohort Study indicated that a substantial proportion of HCV-infected patients were tested only after clinical indications that their infection had progressed and became symptomatic.

HIV/AIDS Surveillance Report: Social Determinants of Health Among Adults With Diagnosed HIV Infection in 18 Areas, 2005-2009

This report focuses on the social determinants of health (SDH) and its crossover to HIV rates in the United States from 2005-2009. It explains that SDH refers to the overlapping social structures and economic systems that are responsible for most health inequities. Thirteen tables break down rates of HIV diagnoses by indicators such as sex, age, area of residence, race, and transmission category.

Diagnosed HIV Infection Among Adults and Adolescents in Metropolitan Statistical Areas–United States and Puerto Rico, 2010

This surveillance supplemental report complements the 2010 HIV Surveillance Report by presenting data on diagnoses of HIV infection during 2010 and persons living with a diagnosis of HIV infection at year-end 2009 for adults and adolescents aged 13 years and older residing in metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) in the United States and Puerto Rico. The report presents the unadjusted number, estimated number, and estimated rate of diagnoses of HIV during 2010 and of persons living with a diagnosis of HIV as of December 31, 2009. Data are presented by MSA of residence at diagnosis.

Updated U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines for the Management of Occupational Exposures to HIV and Recommendations for Postexposure Prophylaxis

This report updates US Public Health Service recommendations for the management of health-care personnel (HCP) who have occupational exposure to blood and/or other body fluids that might contain HIV. The principles of exposure management remain unchanged, but recommended HIV postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) regimens and the duration of HIV follow-up testing for exposed personnel have been updated.

MMWR: HIV Infection and Risk, Prevention, and Testing Behaviors Among Injecting Drug Users – National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System, 20 U.S. Cities, 2009

This report summarizes results from the second National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System (NHBS) data collection cycle among injecting drug users (IDUs) – NHBS-IDU2– which was conducted during June–December 2009. The report provides unweighted data that can be used to describe the prevalence of HIV infection among IDUs and the percentage of IDUs reporting specific risk behaviors, HIV testing, and participation in prevention programs.

State HIV Prevention Progress Report, 2014

The State HIV Prevention Progress Report (SPR) provides state-level data that show how states are doing in relation to key national goals. The report monitors HIV outcomes at the state population level but does not specifically evaluate CDC-funded activities. For 3 indicators (HIV testing, late-stage diagnosis, and death rate), the report includes data on all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

HIV/AIDS Surveillance Report: Social Determinants of Health Among Adults with Diagnosed HIV Infection in 20 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, 2010

This report focuses on the social determinants of health (SDH) and its crossover to HIV rates in the United States. It explains that SDH refers to the overlapping social structures and economic systems that are responsible for most health inequities. Twelve tables break down rates of HIV diagnoses by indicators such as sex, age, area of residence, race, and transmission category. This report limits the data to adults older 18 and older to more accurately represent the population from which the SDH indicator variables were collected by the US Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS).

MMWR: Routine HIV Screening in Two Health-Care Settings –New York City and New Orleans, 2011-2013

This report describes novel HIV screening programs at the Urban Health Plan (UHP), Inc. in New York City and the Interim Louisiana Hospital (ILH) emergency department in New Orleans. Both received startup funding from Gilead Sciences’ HIV on the Frontlines of Communities in the United States (FOCUS) program to implement routine HIV screening. Both programs identified previously undiagnosed HIV infections. Use of the new testing algorithm allowed the New Orleans program to identify antibody-negative acute infections in five (6%) of the 77 patients with newly diagnosed HIV.

MMWR: Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Coverage Among Adolescents, 2007-2013, and Postlicensure Vaccine Safety Monitoring, 2006-2014 – United States

To assess progress with HPV vaccination coverage among adolescents aged 13–17 years, characterize adherence with recommendations for HPV vaccination by the 13th birthday, and describe HPV vaccine adverse reports received postlicensure, CDC analyzed data from the 2007–2013 National Immunization Survey-Teen (NIS-Teen) and national postlicensure vaccine safety data among females and males. Vaccination coverage with =1 dose of any HPV vaccine increased significantly from 53.8% (2012) to 57.3% (2013) among adolescent girls and from 20.8% (2012) to 34.6% (2013) among adolescent boys.

Likely Female-to-Female Sexual Transmission of HIV - Texas 2012

This report describes a case of HIV transmission through sexual contact between an infected woman and her previously uninfected female sex partner. The Houston Department of Health reported the case to CDC in August 2012. The case was investigated and laboratory testing confirmed that the virus that infected the newly-diagnosed woman was identical to that of her female partner who had stopped receiving antiretroviral therapy in 2010. The report describes the case of HIV infection acquired during a six-month monogamous relationship.
