HIV and Injection Drug Use Syringe Services Programs for HIV Prevention

This Vital Signs highlights the importance of expanding access to SSPs, which provide sterile needles and syringes and ideally offer many other comprehensive services to help improve the health of PWID and their communities, such as treatment for substance use disorder, HIV, and hepatitis testing and linkage to treatment, and safe disposal of used syringes.

Dr. Patrick Sullivan on PrEP 2024 - Higher State-level PrEP Coverage is associated with Declines in HIV Diagnoses

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.
