This fact sheet discusses how research from the University of California San Diego and published in Clinical Infectious Diseases, estimates the hepatitis A vaccination coverage needed to prevent outbreaks among people who inject drugs (PWID). Analyzing surveillance data from 16 states with recent hepatitis A outbreaks linked to PWID, the study found that vaccination coverage of at least 80% may be necessary to reliably achieve herd immunity—though some states, such as West Virginia, may require higher levels.

This webinar features a presentation from the March 2024 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI), where Dr. Patrick Sullivan—AIDSVu Principal Scientist and Professor at Emory University—presented the oral abstract, “Association of State-Level PrEP Coverage and State-Level HIV Diagnoses, US, 2012–2021.” Using real-world data on PrEP coverage, Dr. Sullivan’s study found that states with a higher proportion of people with PrEP indications who were using PrEP experienced steeper declines in new HIV diagnoses over the past decade.

This video educates viewers on what the PrEP-to-Need Ratio is and how to properly use it to evaluate health equity.

This video walks through AIDSVu Location Profiles -- interactive, user-friendly summaries of HIV data for various locations across the U.S., including cities, counties, states, and regions. These profiles provide insights into HIV prevalence, new diagnoses, mortality, and more, helping users understand the impact of HIV in their communities.

This webinar recording discusses how the hepatitis A landscape is changing globally. Between 2010 and 2019, the number of deaths from hepatitis A decreased globally by 10%, despite the number of cases increasing by 4%. A number of factors have helped drive these changes, including globalization and increased hepatitis A vaccination rates.

This webpage outlines the importance of disaster preparedness for people with HIV. Natural disasters—such as hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, and wildfires—can displace anyone, disrupting access to critical HIV medicines and care. It emphasizes the need for individuals with HIV to plan ahead to maintain treatment continuity, protect their health, and reduce the risk of transmission, including steps to connect with new healthcare providers if displaced.
