The Evolution of HIV Diagnostic Testing

This journal explores the evolution of HIV diagnostic testing, from early antibody-based methods to advanced molecular and rapid point-of-care technologies. It highlights the impact of these innovations on early detection, treatment initiation, and global efforts to control HIV transmission.

SARS-CoV-2 Rapidly Evolves in People with Advanced HIV

This report discusses how SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, rapidly evolves in people with advanced HIV due to weakened immune responses. This prolonged viral replication can lead to the emergence of new variants, highlighting the importance of HIV treatment and COVID-19 prevention efforts in immunocompromised populations.

Prevalence of Mpox Immunity Among the Core Group and Its Potential to Prevent Future Large-Scale Outbreaks

This journal discusses the role of core group theory in understanding the transmission dynamics of mpox, emphasizing that the virus primarily spreads through sexual contact and behaves similarly to other sexually transmitted infections. It highlights how infection-induced and vaccine-induced immunity within high-risk groups have significantly reduced transmission, making future large-scale outbreaks unlikely, though continued surveillance and vaccination efforts remain essential.

Fundamentals of Tuberculosis

In this 45-minute webinar, participants are introduced to the fundamentals of TB. Topics include modes of transmission, common symptoms, diagnostic testing protocols, treatment regimens, and more.
