CDC recently evaluated the evidence and the updated WHO guidance on the risk for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) acquisition among women using hormonal contraception. After careful review, CDC adopted the updated WHO guidance for inclusion in the U.S. MEC guidance; this guidance states that the advantages of progestin-only injectable contraceptive use (including depot medroxyprogesterone acetate [DMPA]) by women at high risk for HIV infection outweigh the theoretical or proven risks (U.S. MEC category 2). https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/66/wr/mm6637a6.htm?s_cid=mm6637a6_e Thu, 21 Sep 2017 15:05:00 EDT Among black women aged 45–54 years, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease death rate decreased 60% from 28.4 per 100,000 in 2006 to 11.5 in 2015.

The SDH variables examined are: percentage of the population living below federal poverty, percentage of the population with less than a high school diploma, median household income, percentage of the population unemployed, percentage of residents without health insurance coverage, and new to this report, percentage of vacant housing unit. This report presents a snapshot of the environment in which people lived at the time of HIV diagnosis. https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/pdf/library/reports/surveillance/2015_SDH_v22-PDF3.pdf Tue, 15 Aug 2017 11:05:00 EDT CDC concludes that the evidence, programmatic experience, and expert opinions are insufficient to warrant changing the current recommendation (annual screening for MSM) to more frequent screening (every 3 or 6 months). Therefore, CDC’s 2006 recommendation for HIV screening of MSM is unchanged; providers in clinical settings should offer HIV screening at least annually to all sexually active MSM. Clinicians can also consider the potential benefits of more frequent HIV screening (e.g., every 3 or 6 months) for some asymptomatic sexually active MSM based on their individual risk factors, local HIV epidemiology, and local policies. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/66/wr/mm6631a3.htm?s_cid=mm6631a3_e Fri, 11 Aug 2017 09:30:00 EDT The HIV Screening.

Of the total estimated number of women living with diagnosed HIV at the end of 2013, 61% (137,504) were African American, 17% (39,177) were white, and 17% (38,664) were Hispanics/Latinas. http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/group/gender/women/index.html Fri, 11 Mar 2016 09:15:00 EST March 10 is National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NWGHAAD), a time when organizations and communities across the United States come together to offer support, encourage discussion, and teach women and girls about the prevention of HIV, the importance of getting tested, and how to live with and manage HIV infection. http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/dhap/new/dcl/030916.html Wed, 09 Mar 2016 17:05:00 EST Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released the newest Prevention Status Reports (PSRs), which highlight the status of policies and practices designed to address 10 important public health problems. http://www.cdc.gov/psr/ Tue, 01 Mar 2016 10:05:00 EST March 10 is National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NWGHAAD), a time when organizations and communities across the United States come together to offer support, encourage discussion, and teach women and girls about the prevention of HIV, the importance of getting tested, and how to live with and manage HIV infection. http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/library/awareness/nwghaad.html Mon, 29 Feb 2016 10:05:00 EST The purpose of this document is to provide updated information on the national surveillance of HIV infection by state and US dependent territories. Data is depicted using the US map. http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/pdf/library/slidesets/cdc-hiv-us-maps-2014.pdf Fri, 26 Feb 2016 14:45:00 EST Today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released estimates that show if current HIV diagnoses rates persist, approximately 1 in 2 black gay and bisexual men and 1 in 4 Latino gay and bisexual men in the United States will be diagnosed with HIV during their lifetime. http://www.cdc.gov/nchhstp/newsroom/2016/croi-press-release-risk.html Tue, 23 Feb 2016 13:15:00 EST Using male condoms the right way, every time, can reduce (though not eliminate) the risk of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and viral hepatitis, as well as other diseases that may be transmitted through sex. http://www.cdc.gov/condomeffectiveness/male-condom-use.html Tue, 23 Feb 2016 13:14:00 EST The largest cluster of new HIV infections ever attributed to unsafe injections among a general population was reported in a rural area of Cambodia; 2.7% of residents were infected. The outbreak was detected after increased demand for HIV testing by residents who perceived themselves to be at risk after exposure to an unlicensed provider of injections and intravenous infusions. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/65/wr/mm6506a2.htm?s_cid=mm6506a2_e Thu, 18 Feb 2016 12:00:00 EST The findings in this report do not provide evidence that HIV-related risk behaviors alone drive the higher numbers of HIV diagnoses among young black MSM compared with young Hispanic and white MSM. In fact, young black male students who had sexual contact with males in this report often had a lower prevalence of HIV-related risk behaviors. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/65/wr/mm6505a2.htm?s_cid=mm6505a2_e Fri, 12 Feb 2016 12:00:03 EST This is the first well-documented work-related HIV transmission among male adult film performers. A performer was infected by a non–work-related partner who was not aware of his HIV infection. The performer, having tested negative by nucleic acid amplification test within the preceding 14 days, and unaware of his very recent HIV infection, infected another performer and a non–work-related partner. Viruses in all four HIV infections were highly genetically related, indicating a transmission cluster. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/65/wr/mm6505a3.htm?s_cid=mm6505a3_e Fri, 12 Feb 2016 12:00:02 EST Hispanics/Latinos in the United States are affected disproportionately by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs); however, few effective evidence-based prevention interventions for this population exist. This report describes the Hombres Manteniendo Bienestar y Relaciones Saludables (Men Maintaining Wellbeing and Healthy Relationships) (HoMBReS) intervention, which was developed by a community-based, participatory research partnership in North Carolina and initially implemented during 2005–2009. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/65/su/su6501a8.htm?s_cid=su6501a8_e Fri, 12 Feb 2016 12:00:01 EST Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) are affected disproportionately by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the United States. Although approximately 3% of the adolescent and adult U.S. male population is estimated to have engaged in same-sex behavior in the past year (1), in 2011, MSM accounted for 65% of the estimated 49,273 new HIV infections and 82% of the estimated 38,825 HIV diagnoses among all males aged ≥13 years (2). Sexual risk behavior accounts for most HIV infections among MSM, and anal intercourse without a condom is the primary route for transmitting HIV infection to an uninfected person. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/65/su/su6501a7.htm?s_cid=su6501a7_e Fri, 12 Feb 2016 12:00:00 EST This PDF describes President Obama's fiscal year (FY) 2017 budget request to Congress.

In brief, testing begins with a combination immunoassay that detects HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies and HIV-1 p24 antigen. All specimens reactive on this initial assay undergo supplemental testing with an immunoassay that differentiates HIV-1 from HIV-2 antibodies. Specimens that are reactive on the initial immunoassay and nonreactive or indeterminate on the antibody differentiation assay proceed to HIV-1 nucleic acid testing for resolution. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636706 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636706 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 16:00:00 EST This document provides a snap shot of the updated recommendations for laboratory testing for the diagnosis of HIV infection. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636707 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636707 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 16:00:00 EST Approximately 16% of the estimated 1.1 million persons living with HIV in the United States are unaware of their infection and thus unable to benefit from effective treatment. Since 2006, CDC has recommended health-care providers screen all patients aged 13–64 years for HIV, unless prevalence of undiagnosed HIV infection has been documented to be less than 0.1%.

The findings in this report indicate that most adults living with HIV who received medical care in 2009 were taking antiretroviral therapy, had CD4+ T-lymphocyte and HIV viral load testing at regular intervals, and had health insurance or other coverage. However, some patients did not receive clinical services and treatment in accordance with guidelines. Some patients engaged in behaviors, such as unprotected sex, that increase the risk for transmitting HIV to sex partners, and some used noninjection or injection drugs or both.

Throughout the period, HIV disease death rates for black men were at least six times the rates for white men. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636769 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636769 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 14:00:00 EST Slides on HIV incidence based on the 2010 HIV Surveillance Report have been updated. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636770 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636770 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 11:00:00 EST Historically, people living with HIV and AIDS have had a difficult time obtaining private health insurance and have been particularly vulnerable to insurance industry abuses. Consistent with the goals of the President's National HIV/AIDS Strategy, the Affordable Care Act makes considerable strides in addressing these concerns and advancing equality for people living with HIV and AIDS. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636771 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636771 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 11:00:00 EST This fact sheet discusses HIV transmission from mother to child during pregnancy. Since the mid-1990s, HIV testing and preventive interventions have resulted in more than a 90% decline in the number of children perinatally infected with HIV in the United States. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636772 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636772 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 02:00:00 EST This surveillance supplemental report (part B) complements the 2010 HIV Surveillance Report and part A of the surveillance supplemental report by presenting the results of additional focused analyses to measure progress toward achieving selected objectives of the NHAS and the DHAP Strategic Plan. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636773 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636773 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:00:00 EST As a concept and a strategy, treating HIV-infected persons to improve their health and to reduce the risk of onward transmission—also known as treatment as prevention—refers to the personal and public health benefits of using ART to continuously suppress HIV viral load in the blood and genital fluids, which decreases the risk of transmitting the virus to others. This Issue Brief discusses treatment as prevention and also put the practice into perspective. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636774 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636774 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 11:00:00 EST 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 (HIV prevalence) for adults and adolescents (aged 13 years and older) residing in metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs; population of 500,000 or more) in the United States and Puerto Rico. Consistent with CDC's approach of High-Impact HIV Prevention, HIV programs may use this information to target populations and areas at greatest need for HIV prevention and treatment services. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636775 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636775 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 11:00:00 EST The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announces the availability of fiscal year 2013 funds for a cooperative agreement program for community-based organizations (CBOs) to develop and implement HIV Prevention Programs in the following two categories: Category A: HIV Prevention Programs for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and Category B: HIV Prevention Programs for the United States Virgin Islands. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636777 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636777 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:00:00 EST Today the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released estimates of HIV incidence among adults and adolescents in the United States for the years 2007-2010. These estimates, published in the online HIV Surveillance Supplemental Report, show that while the epidemic has been relatively stable overall at 50,000, per year, there are noteworthy findings among some hard-hit populations. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636778 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636778 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 16:00:00 EST As an integrated component of the NHSS, HIV incidence surveillance incorporates into routine case surveillance the collection of data on HIV testing and antiretroviral use history and results from the serologic testing algorithm for recent HIV seroconversion (STARHS) in the states and cities that conduct HIV incidence surveillance. These data are used to generate annual estimates of the number of new HIV infections, including those diagnosed (new HIV infections in the period of interest among persons who had an HIV test during the period and became aware of their infection) and undiagnosed (new HIV infections in the period of interest among persons who were not yet aware of their infection). http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636779 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636779 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 11:00:00 EST This report discusses human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections attributed to male-to-male sexual contact which comprised 64% of the estimated new HIV infections in the United States in 2009. Assessing the geographic distribution of HIV infection by transmission category can help public health programs target prevention resources to men who have sex with men (MSM) in areas where HIV infection from male-to-male sexual contact is most frequent. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636780 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636780 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 14:00:00 EST Today is National Latino AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD).

In 2010, new diagnoses of HIV infection among Hispanics or Latinos occurred at an annual rate that was 2.8 times that of non-Hispanic whites (20.4 versus 7.3 per 100,000 persons). To further assess HIV infection among Hispanics or Latinos in the United States, CDC analyzed the geographic distribution of new diagnoses in 2010 in 46 states and Puerto Rico and the characteristics of those diagnosed http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636788 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636788 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 12:10:00 EST CDC-funded HIV testing services are monitored with data reported by grantees in through Annual Progress Reports (APRs) and at the individual test level through the National HIV Prevention Program Monitoring and Evaluation (NHME) system. These NHME data, which represent a subset of all HIV testing data reported in the APRs, are submitted to CDC in a standardized format. This report includes data from all health departments for five program announcements, but primarily focuses on NHME test-level data. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636789 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636789 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 12:10:00 EST New FAQs have been added to the Secretary's Minority AIDS Initiative Funding for Care and Prevention in the United States (CAPUS) Demonstration Project FOA. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636790 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636790 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 11:10:00 EST Slides on Maps based on the 2010 HIV Surveillance Report have been updated. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636791 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636791 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 12:10:00 EST The mission of this fellowship program is to recruit, mentor, and train investigators to conduct domestic HIV/AIDS prevention research in communities of color. The fellows will be located in various branches in the Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, headquartered in Atlanta, GA. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636792 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636792 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 15:30:00 EST Since January 2011, data from studies of PrEP among heterosexual men and women have become available, and on July 16, 2012, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a label indication for reduction of risk for sexual acquisition of HIV infection among adults, including both heterosexuals and MSM. This interim guidance includes consideration of the new information and addresses pregnancy and safety issues for heterosexually active adults at very high risk for sexual HIV acquisition that were not discussed in the previous interim guidance for the use of PrEP in MSM. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636793 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636793 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 11:30:00 EST This fact discusses how inmates in jails and prisons across the United States (US) are disproportionately affected by multiple health problems, including HIV, other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), tuberculosis (TB), and viral hepatitis. Each year, an estimated 1 in 7 persons living with HIV pass through a correctional facility. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636795 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636795 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 10:30:00 EST In the United States, the HIV and AIDS epidemic is not evenly distributed across states and regions. Generally, HIV and AIDS are concentrated in urban areas, so states reporting higher rates of persons living with a diagnosis of HIV infection or AIDS usually contain major metropolitan areas where their epidemics are focused. However, some generalities about the epidemic can be understood by considering regional aspects. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636796 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636796 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 10:30:00 EST This new site focuses on the how legal policies are facilitators or barriers to effective HIV prevention. CDC has focused on the public health implications of state statutes and regulations across key HIV prevention topic areas, such as HIV testing, Medicaid reimbursement for routine HIV screening, laboratory reporting and viral load data for HIV surveillance purposes, and criminalization of potential HIV exposure. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636798 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636798 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 12:45:00 EST This is another in a series of occasional MMWR reports titled CDC Grand Rounds. These reports are based on grand rounds presentations at CDC on high-profile issues in public health science, practice, and policy. TB and HIV act synergistically within a population to cause excess morbidity and mortality. PWHA are more likely to develop TB disease because of their immunodeficiency; HIV infection is the most powerful risk factor for progressing from TB infection to disease. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636801 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636801 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 15:05:00 EST As a requirement of the PS12-1201 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), health department grantees must complete and submit a Jurisdictional HIV Prevention Plan and a Comprehensive Program Plan. These plans cover the project period from January 1, 2012 – December 31, 2016. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636802 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636802 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 13:05:00 EST To assess previous HIV testing patterns among adults and adolescents newly diagnosed with HIV infection, CDC analyzed data for the period 2006–2009 from 18 jurisdictions participating in HIV incidence surveillance through CDC's National HIV Surveillance System (NHSS). This report describes the results of that analysis, which indicated that among adults and adolescents for whom testing history information (THI) was available, 41% were diagnosed with HIV infection at their first HIV test, and 59% had a negative test at some point before HIV diagnosis. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636803 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636803 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 13:05:00 EST This surveillance supplemental report (part A) complements the 2010 HIV Surveillance Report by presenting the results of focused analyses to measure progress toward achieving selected objectives of NHAS and the DHAP Strategic Plan. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636804 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636804 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 11:35:00 EST PS13-1302, is a 5-year funding opportunity for health departments in states and territories to collect and report HIV case surveillance data to the National HIV Surveillance System (NHSS). http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636776 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636776 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 12:25:00 EST The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the availability of Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 funds for a cooperative agreement program to enhance HIV mobilization among organizations serving gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636805 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636805 Fri, 25 May 2012 12:25:00 EST The Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP) recently released its inaugural annual report, Accelerating Progress, Investing for Impact. This report provides an overview of some of the HIV prevention activities conducted and supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) during late 2010 to the end of 2011. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636809 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636809 Fri, 04 May 2012 07:25:00 EST From 2008 through 2011, CDC convened several workgroups to consider revision of various aspects of the HIV surveillance case definition. This document summarises the February 2012 meeting. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636808 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636808 Fri, 04 May 2012 02:25:00 EST This new page covers the activities of the Behavioral and Clinical Surveillance Branch. This branch implements scientifically rigorous HIV research studies and surveillance systems that meet critical local, state, and national HIV prevention needs for characterizing persons who are at risk for HIV infection or who have recently acquired HIV or have HIV-related morbidities. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636810 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636810 Thu, 03 May 2012 10:50:00 EST The Expanded Testing Initiative aimed to increase the reach of HIV testing to disproportionately affected populations. PS07-768 Expanded and Integrated Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Testing for Populations Disproportionately Affected by HIV, Primarily African Americans (October 2007 through September 2010), focused on the expansion of HIV testing to African Americans.

The National HIV/AIDS Strategy for the United States recommends educating young persons about HIV before they begin engaging in behaviors that place them at risk for HIV infection. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636813 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636813 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 12:00:00 EST Understanding patient and provider perspectives is an integral component of evaluating clinical programs to improve clinical services. The purpose of this evaluation toolkit is to offer a package of evaluation materials that can be used to determine the effect that expanded HIV screening activities has on patient attitudes toward and accepting HIV testing. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636814 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636814 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 12:00:00 EST Today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released its HIV Surveillance Report, 2010, Vol. 22. This report presents data for diagnoses of HIV infection and AIDS through December 31, 2010 and reported to CDC through June 2011. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636816 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636816 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 12:00:00 EST CDC's 2010 HIV Surveillance Report includes estimated numbers and rates of diagnoses of HIV infection based on data from 51 areas (46 states and 5 U.S. dependent areas) that have had confidential, name-based HIV infection reporting since at least January 2007, with reporting to CDC since at least June 2007. The 46 states represent approximately 92% of cumulative AIDS diagnoses in the 50 states and the District of Columbia through 2010. New states included in this year's report are California, Delaware, Montana, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Washington (state). http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636817 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636817 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 12:00:00 EST One in every 139 women will be diagnosed with HIV infection at some point in her lifetime. To call the nation's attention to the impact of HIV and AIDS on women and girls, tomorrow, March 10, is National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NWGHAAD). http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636818 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636818 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 12:00:00 EST Despite a recent reduction in the number of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections attributed to injecting drug use in the United States, 9% of new U.S. HIV infections in 2009 occurred among injecting drug users (IDUs). To monitor HIV-associated behaviors and HIV prevalence among IDUs, CDC's National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System (NHBS) conducts interviews and HIV testing in selected metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs). This report summarizes data from 10,073 IDUs interviewed and tested in 20 MSAs in 2009. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636819 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636819 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 17:00:00 EST Injection Drug Users (IDUs) in the United States (U.S.) are at increased risk of acquiring human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Despite a recent reduction in the number of HIV infections attributed to injecting drug use in the U.S., IDUs remain a substantial proportion of those becoming infected with HIV. In 2009, 12% of new HIV infections in the U.S. occurred among IDUs. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636820 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636820 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 17:00:00 EST African Americans face the most severe burden of HIV of all racial/ethnic groups in the United States (US). Despite representing only 14% of the US population in 2009, African Americans accounted for 44% of all new HIV infections in that year. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636821 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636821 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 12:00:00 EST HIV incidence surveillance (HIS) provides the most representative picture of HIV trends and the impact of HIV on the public's health and related prevention efforts. Data from HIS are critical to assessing the goals of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy and the Division of HIV/AIDS HIV Prevention's Strategic Plan. On September 27–28, 2011 CDC hosted a consultation to consider options for HIS and estimation in the United States. Participants were experts with a variety of perspectives including state and local HIS staff, statisticians, researchers, care providers, laboratorians, and representatives from relevant national and international organizations. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636822 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636822 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 18:00:00 EST Reporting viral load and CD4 counts is a critical first step in calculating community viral load. In August 2011, CDC released Guidance on Community Viral Load: Measures, Definitions, and Methods for Calculation to describe the concept of community viral load and provide definitions of and methods for calculating community viral load and related measures. The Guidance proposes common language for viral load (VL) measurements, which include four measures of viral load for an HIV-infected population. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636825 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636825 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:00:00 EST Today is National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NBHAAD). The theme for this observance day, “I Am My Brother/Sister's Keeper: Fight HIV/AIDS!” holds much significance as we reflect on opportunities to bring an end to the spread of HIV in the United States. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636826 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636826 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:00:00 EST After multiple discussions and considerations, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has elected to postpone the next HPLS until 2013. HPLS is an important meeting for HIV prevention in the United States. We appreciate your leadership and support for HPLS and your ongoing commitment to ending the HIV epidemic. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636827 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636827 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 10:00:00 EST This is a brief summary of a consultation sponsored by DHAP in collaboration with the Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA), HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB), sponsored a Consultation on Monitoring and Use of Laboratory Data Reported to HIV Surveillance, March 9-10, 2011, in Atlanta, Georgia. The purpose of the consultation was to explore science, program, and ethical considerations for collection and use of laboratory indicators in HIV surveillance for public health action and monitoring. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636828 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636828 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 12:00:00 EST Recent surveillance data show that young persons in the United States are markedly affected by HIV. The 2009 HIV Surveillance Report, published by the Cen¬ters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), revealed that the estimated number and estimated rate of annual diagnoses of HIV infection remained stable from 2006 through 2009 in the 40 states with mature confidential name-based HIV infection reporting. However, during this period, the estimated rates of diagnoses of HIV infection among persons aged 15– 19 years increased 25%, and that among persons aged 20–24 years increased 31%. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636829 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636829 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 09:00:00 EST CDC is now into its third year of the Act Against AIDS (AAA) campaign, and we want to take this opportunity to share with you some of the highlights of the first 2 years and the many exciting activities that are underway. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636830 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636830 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 09:00:00 EST The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension Act of 2009 (formerly the Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency Act) was first enacted into law in 1990, and amended in 1996, 2000, 2006, and 2009. In FY2010, HRSA, for the fourth year in a row, used total counts of living cases of HIV and living cases of AIDS in the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Program Parts A and B (formerly Titles I and II) allocation formulae. Prior to FY2007, only AIDS cases, adjusted by a survival rate (estimated living AIDS cases), were used in the formulae. Beginning in FY2007, persons living with HIV (non-AIDS) as well as persons living with AIDS, as reported to and confirmed by the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), are used to calculate funding allocation amounts. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636831 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636831 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 07:00:00 EST The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP) released its Atlas, a new tool that will allow users to create maps, charts, and tables using HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB surveillance data. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636832 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636832 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 14:00:00 EST The purpose of this report is to provide a summary of HIV CT data that can be used to facilitate program monitoring and evaluation at the local, state, and national levels. For example, HIV CT data are routinely analyzed and used to describe HIV testing patterns and changes over time. The report presents CDC-supported HIV CT data from 59 health departments, but primarily focuses on 43 health departments that sent test-level data for all four quarters of 2005. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636833 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636833 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 13:00:00 EST February 7, 2012 is National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NBHAAD). NBHAAD is a national community mobilization initiative designed to encourage HIV prevention, testing and treatment among Blacks and African Americans in the United States. This year's theme is “I am My Brother's/Sister's Keeper: Fight HIV/AIDS. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636834 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636834 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 03:00:00 EST The CDC Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention is pleased to provide a basic guide to the cost-effectiveness analysis of HIV/AIDS prevention interventions. The purpose is to make this literature more accessible to researchers and to help prevention program staff and planners become more familiar with potential uses of economic evaluation. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636835 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636835 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 12:00:00 EST This fact sheet has been updated with information from the 2009 surveillance report as well as the 2011 incidence report. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636824 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636824 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 17:00:00 EST This report provides a summary of HIV CT data and is intended to be used by HIV program managers and policy makers, HIV CT service providers, evaluators, researchers, and others at the local, state, and national levels who are interested in the public health implications of HIV prevention program data. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636836 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636836 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 17:00:00 EST Publication of this document is a milestone in bringing together under one set of guidelines the security and confidentiality of all of our focus diseases. This guidance replaces any disease-specific security and confidentiality guidelines published previously. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636837 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636837 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 08:33:00 EST Too many young people in the United States (US) are at risk for HIV infection. This risk is especially notable for young gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM), especially young African American or Latino MSM, and all youth of minority races and ethnicities. Continual HIV prevention outreach and education efforts, including programs on abstinence, delaying the initiation of sex, and negotiating safer sex, are required as new generations replace the generations that benefited from earlier prevention strategies. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636838 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636838 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 08:33:00 EST e-HAP FYI—one of a series of new communication products that expands the Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention's (DHAP) ability to reach you with timely, targeted information critical to our collective prevention efforts. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636839 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636839 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 02:33:00 EST Persons with HIV infection are disproportionately affected by viral hepatitis; about one-third of HIV-infected persons are coinfected with hepatitis B or hepatitis C, which can cause long-term (chronic) illness and death. Viral hepatitis progresses faster among persons with HIV infection, and persons who are infected with both viruses experience greater liver-related health problems than those who do not have HIV infection. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636840 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636840 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 11:33:00 EST e-HAP FYI—one of a series of new communication products that expands the Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention's (DHAP) ability to reach you with timely, targeted information critical to our collective prevention efforts. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636841 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636841 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 11:33:00 EST This fact sheet has been updated with information from the 2009 surveillance report as well as the 2011 incidence report. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636842 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636842 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 14:32:00 EST This fact sheet has been updated with information from the 2009 surveillance report as well as the 2011 incidence report. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636843 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636843 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 14:30:00 EST MSM in the United States continue to engage in sexual and drug-use behaviors that increase the risk for HIV infection. Although many MSM had been tested for HIV infection, many had not received hepatitis vaccinations or syphilis testing, and only a small proportion had recently participated in a behavioral intervention. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636844 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636844 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 13:00:00 EST e-HAP FYI—one of a series of new communication products that expands the Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention's (DHAP) ability to reach you with timely, targeted information critical to our collective prevention efforts. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636845 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636845 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 13:00:00 EST The directory provides the most current information about each CBA provider and the services that are available.

This year's theme is Latinos Unite! Let's Stay Healthy! Get Tested for HIV! This observance, which is coordinated by Latino Commission on AIDS, in partnership with public health, faith and community organizations, provides an opportunity to draw the nation's attention to the impact of the HIV epidemic on Latino populations. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636847 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636847 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 15:00:00 EST The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) awards about $300 million to 59 health departments (50 state health departments, 6 directly funded city health departments, and health departments in Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Washington, D.C.) each year under Program Announcement (PA) 04012 (HIV Prevention Projects for State and Local Health Departments) to deliver comprehensive HIV prevention programs/activities to prevent HIV transmission and acquisition in populations most heavily affected by the epidemic. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636848 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636848 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 08:00:00 EST As of December 31, 2008, an estimated 663,084 persons were living with a diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in the 40 U.S. states that have had confidential name-based HIV infection reporting since at least January 2006. Although HIV surveillance programs in the United States collect information about persons who have received a diagnosis of HIV infection and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), supplemental surveillance projects are needed to collect information about care-seeking behaviors, health-care use, and other behaviors among persons living with HIV. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636849 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636849 Thu, 01 Sep 2011 12:30:00 EST In the United States, prevention has already averted more than 350,000 HIV infections. Now, we have the potential to go much further. The nation's HIV prevention efforts are guided by a single, ambitious strategy for combating the epidemic: the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS). Recent scientific breakthroughs have equipped us with an unprecedented number of effective tools to prevent infection. And in many of the communities hardest hit by HIV, there is growing leadership and momentum for change. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636850 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636850 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 12:30:00 EST The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 1,178,350 Americans are living with HIV; of those, approximately 240,000 are unaware of their HIV-positive status. Increasing the number of persons who are aware of their status is a critical strategy for preventing HIV infections. As of 2008, over half a million African Americans are estimated to be infected with HIV, with 21.4% undiagnosed. To increase awareness of HIV status, CDC established the Expanded Testing Initiative (ETI), under which three programs have been launched. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636851 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636851 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 12:00:00 EST According to 2009 HIV surveillance data, women represented 24% of all diagnoses of HIV infection among United States (US) adults and adolescents in 40 states with long-established, confidential name-based reporting. In 2008, an estimated 25% of adults and adolescents living with HIV infection were female http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636756 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636756 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 16:00:00 EST The programs in REP are tested, science-based behavioral interventions with demonstrated evidence of effectiveness in reducing risky behaviors, such as unprotected sex, or in encouraging safer ones, such as using condoms and other methods of practicing safer sex. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636852 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636852 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 10:00:00 EST Transgender communities in the United States (US) are among the groups at highest risk for HIV infection. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636853 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636853 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 16:00:00 EST DHAP's Strategic Plan 2011-2015 (the Plan) is DHAP's blueprint for achieving its vision of a future free of HIV. The Plan reflects the Division's response to new opportunities and imperatives for HIV prevention created by critical shifts in the national, state, and local economic and policy environments, including the July 2010 release of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy for the United States (NHAS). http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636856 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636856 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 12:00:00 EST In the United States, approximately one in three new human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections are transmitted via heterosexual contact (1). To monitor HIV risk behaviors and HIV prevalence among heterosexuals and other populations, CDC surveys persons in selected metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs), using the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System (NHBS). This report summarizes data collected from heterosexuals in 24 MSAs with a high prevalence of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) that participated in NHBS during 2006--2007. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636854 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636854 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 14:00:00 EST The HIV in the United States 2006-2009 slide set has been updated with information from the latest HIV incidence report. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636855 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636855 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 08:00:00 EST Maps Based on Data from 2009 HIV Surveillance Report have been updated with information from the 2009 surveillance report. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636857 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636857 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 09:00:00 EST HIV incidence is the measure of new HIV infections in a given period. In recent years, CDC has used new technology and methodology to more directly measure the number of new HIV infections in the United States. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636858 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636858 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 12:00:00 EST Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing is essential for improving the health of people living with HIV and reducing new HIV infections. HIV testing improves the health of people living with HIV by identifying undiagnosed HIV infection and linking persons with HIV to medical care, treatment, and prevention services. HIV testing also significantly reduces the risk of HIV transmission among those who learn they are living with HIV. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636859 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636859 Fri, 29 Jul 2011 09:00:00 EST Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is categorized into two types, HIV-1 and HIV-2. Worldwide, most HIV infections are HIV-1, whereas HIV-2 largely has been confined to persons in or from West Africa. HIV-1 and HIV-2 have the same routes of transmission, and both can cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS); however, HIV-2 infections should be differentiated from HIV-1 infections because they are less likely to cause AIDS and their clinical management differs. CDC's current surveillance case definition for HIV infection applies to both variants of HIV but lacks criteria for differentiating between HIV-1 and HIV-2. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636860 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636860 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 15:00:00 EST In the United States, an estimated 3.2 million persons are living with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. HCV transmission occurs primarily through percutaneous exposure to blood, and persons who inject drugs are at greatest risk for infection. The role of sexual transmission of HCV has not been well defined. However, reports over the past decade, mainly from Europe, have implicated sexual transmission of HCV among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)--infected men who have sex with men (MSM). http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636862 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636862 Thu, 21 Jul 2011 14:00:00 EST The Pediatric HIV/AIDS Surveillance slide set has been updated with information from the 2009 HIV Surveillance Report. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636797 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636797 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 11:00:00 EST A new CDC study called the TDF2 study, along with a separate trial released today, provide the first evidence that a daily oral dose of antiretroviral drugs used to treat HIV infection can reduce HIV acquisition among uninfected individuals exposed to the virus through heterosexual sex. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636794 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636794 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 14:00:00 EST In 2002, CDC developed the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS) System to help state and local health departments in areas with high AIDS prevalence monitor selected behaviors and assess the use of prevention programs and services in 3 groups at high risk of HIV infection: MSM, IDUs, and heterosexuals. This report summarizes data gathered from May 2005 through February 2006, the first data collec¬tion cycle among IDUs. The report provides descriptive data that serve as a baseline for monitoring trends in risk behaviors and that aid in identifying opportunities to prevent HIV among IDUs. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636863 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636863 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 08:00:00 EST The Enhanced Comprehensive HIV Prevention Planning (ECHPP) Project is a 3-year demonstration project funded by CDC's Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP) for the 12 municipalities with the highest number of people living with AIDS in the United States. As part of the response to the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS), the ECHPP project supports the 12 Cities Project which is directed by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636864 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636864 Fri, 01 Jul 2011 14:00:00 EST The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has announced a 5-year HIV prevention funding opportunity for health departments in states, territories, and select cities. Providing funding to health departments has long been a central component of CDC's HIV prevention strategy, and is CDC's single largest investment in HIV prevention. CDC's new funding opportunity represents a new direction in HIV prevention, and is designed to achieve a higher level of impact with every federal HIV prevention dollar. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636799 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636799 Thu, 30 Jun 2011 13:00:00 EST Since 2006, CDC has recommended routine, opt-out human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) screening for patients in health-care settings with a prevalence of undiagnosed HIV infection of =0.1%. Before September 2007, the Washington State Department of Corrections (WADOC) only provided HIV testing to inmates on request. In September 2007, WADOC began routine HIV opt-in screening in which inmates were notified that HIV screening would be performed during the prison intake medical evaluation if they consented. In March 2010, WADOC switched to a routine opt-out HIV screening model in which inmates are notified that HIV screening will be performed unless they decline. To assess the proportion of inmates screened and the number of infections diagnosed during the use of the three HIV testing policies, WADOC reviewed HIV testing data for male inmates undergoing intake medical evaluation d... http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636865 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636865 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 10:00:00 EST Approximately 20% of the estimated 1.2 million persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in the United States at the end of 2008 were not aware of their infection. Testing, diagnosis, medical care, treatment with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), and access to prevention services soon after HIV infection can prevent morbidity and mortality and reduce a person's risk for transmitting HIV. In 2006, CDC recommended screening patients aged 13--64 years for HIV infection in health-care settings that have a prevalence of undiagnosed HIV infection of =0.1%. In October 2007, CDC initiated the Expanded HIV Testing Initiative (ETI), through which it funded 25 health departments to facilitate HIV screening and increase diagnoses of HIV infections and linkage to care among populations disproportionately affected by HIV, especially non-Hispanic blacks. ... http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636866 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636866 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 10:00:00 EST The articles in this supplement present a diversity of methods for monitoring and evaluating HIV counseling, testing, and referral (CTR) and HIV testing services, as well as for using data to improve the planning and implementation of these services. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636867 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636867 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 13:00:00 EST TB is particularly dangerous for people with HIV infection. People who have both HIV infection and LTBI are 20 to 30 times as likely to develop active TB disease as those who do not have HIV infection. Worldwide, TB is the leading cause of death among persons with HIV infection and almost one in four deaths among people with HIV infection is due to TB. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636754 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636754 Mon, 13 Jun 2011 13:00:00 EST Sexual minority youths are youths who identify themselves as gay or lesbian, bisexual, or unsure of their sexual identity or youths who have only had sexual contact with persons of the same sex or with both sexes. Population-based data on the health-risk behaviors practiced by sexual minority youths are needed at the state and local levels to most effectively monitor and ensure the effectiveness of public health interventions designed to address the needs of this population. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636868 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636868 Mon, 06 Jun 2011 14:00:00 EST In the United States, CDC estimates that 1,178,350 persons were living with HIV at the end of 2008, with 594,496 having died from AIDS since 1981. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636869 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636869 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 14:00:00 EST Within 1 year of the initial report in 1981 of a deadly new disease that occurred predominantly in previously healthy persons and was manifested by Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and Kaposi's sarcoma, the disease had a name: acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Within 2 years, the causative agent had been identified: human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636870 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636870 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 14:00:00 EST Although men who have sex with men (MSM) comprise an estimated 2% of the overall U.S. population aged =13 years, 59% of persons with diagnoses of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in the United States in 2009 were MSM, including MSM who inject drugs. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636871 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636871 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 14:00:00 EST This week the National Institutes of Health (NIH) released findings from a large-scale clinical study which concluded that men and women with HIV reduced their risk of transmitting the virus to their heterosexual partners by 96% when taking oral antiretroviral therapy (ART). The study also found that treatment earlier in the course of HIV reduced the incidence of HIV-associated diseases, especially tuberculosis. These results represent the strongest evidence to date that early HIV treatment dramatically reduces the chance that an HIV positive individual will transmit the virus to a sexual partner. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636872 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636872 Fri, 13 May 2011 14:00:00 EST In February 1994, the Pediatric AIDS Clinical Trial Group Protocol 076 demonstrated that zidovudine (ZDV) could reduce the risk of mother-to-child HIV transmission from 25% to 8% [1]. As a result, a United States Public Health Service (USPHS) task force issued recommendations in August 1994 for the use of ZDV to reduce perinatal HIV transmission. These guidelines were updated in July 2008 and include treatment options for HIV-infected pregnant women and for infants born to HIV-infected women. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636873 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636873 Tue, 03 May 2011 10:00:00 EST HIV Surveillance in Epidemiology of HIV Infection slide set has been updated with information from the 2009 HIV Surveillance Report. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636761 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636761 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 08:22:00 EST Adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) among people living with HIV infection is critical for treatment success and HIV prevention. As we continue our efforts to optimize health outcomes for individuals living with HIV, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)—with support from adherence experts as well as scientists at the Health Resources and Services Administration, the National Institute of Mental Health, and the National Institute on Drug Abuse —is pleased to announce that we have identified eight evidence-based interventions focusing on medication adherence that improve medication adherence behaviors and viral suppression. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636874 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636874 Wed, 20 Apr 2011 05:00:00 EST Today, FHI announced that it will stop the FEM-PrEP study of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention among heterosexual women. The decision was made after a regularly scheduled interim review of data by the trial's independent data monitoring committee determined that the trial could not demonstrate efficacy even if it continued to its originally-planned conclusion. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636875 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636875 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 08:00:00 EST Community health centers (CHCs) are important facilities which implement routine HIV testing consistent with the 2006 recommendations issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). These CHCs serve as the primary care medical home and family physician for over 16 million people, in 6,000 sites, located in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636876 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636876 Thu, 14 Apr 2011 14:00:00 EST The first cases of AIDS were reported in the June 5th, 1981, issue of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR). Since that time people with HIV, researchers, clinicians, allied health professionals, non-profit organizations, the government, activists and many others have created a shared history as we have worked to overcome hurdles and celebrated advances in the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the United States. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636861 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636861 Wed, 06 Apr 2011 14:00:00 EST Reported CD4+ T-Lymphocyte Results for Adults and Adolescents with HIV Infection—37 States, 2005–2007 Once considered an acute illness characterized by progressive immune system deterioration, HIV infection is now considered a treatable chronic condition. Since the mid-1990s, when highly active antiretroviral therapy became widely available, HIV-infected persons have been able to live longer and more productive lives. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636877 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636877 Wed, 06 Apr 2011 11:00:00 EST This year, CDC will commemorate 30 years of fighting the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the United States. To highlight our collective progress and examine existing challenges, CDC is launching an online community that will serve as an information and communication portal. Here, we invite you to share your voice to remind us of the accomplishments, inspire one another with stories of perseverance and success, and position ourselves and our work for the road ahead. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636878 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636878 Wed, 06 Apr 2011 08:00:00 EST Over the years, the Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has developed various surveillance systems for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating data on HIV infection and AIDS. Through these surveillance systems, DHAP monitors many facets of the evolving HIV epidemic in the United States. This fact sheet contains information on the six surveillance systems—all part of CDC's national HIV surveillance system—that DHAP currently uses. The data from these systems inform and guide the critical decisions that ensure HIV prevention funds are directed to those populations most affected by the disease. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636879 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636879 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 14:00:00 EST The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) collects, analyzes, and disseminates surveillance data on HIV infection and AIDS; these data are the nation's source of timely information on the HIV epidemic. HIV surveillance data are used by CDC's public health partners in other federal agencies, health departments, nonprofit organizations, and academic institutions to help target prevention efforts, plan for services, and develop policy. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636880 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636880 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 14:00:00 EST e-HAP FYI—one of a series of new communication products that expands the Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention's (DHAP) ability to reach you with timely, targeted information critical to our collective prevention efforts. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636881 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636881 Wed, 30 Mar 2011 17:00:00 EST New Funding Opportunity Announcement: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Prevention Projects for Young Men of Color Who Have Sex with Men and Young Transgender Persons of Color The purpose of the program is to support the development and implementation of effective community-based HIV Prevention Programs that serve Young Men of Color Who Have Sex with Men (YMSM of color) and Young Transgender (YTG) persons of color and their partners at high risk for acquiring or transmitting HIV; to increase the number of YMSM of color and YTG persons of color who are aware of their HIV status and linked to care, treatment, and prevention services; to build the capacity of CDC-funded CBOs delivering selected structural interventions, behavioral interventions, outreach or Enhanced HIV Testing with Personalized Cognitive Counseling to YMSM of color and/or YTG persons of color and their par... http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636882 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636882 Tue, 22 Mar 2011 05:00:00 EST In spite of these successes, TB still remains a serious threat, especially for those infected with HIV. HIV is the single most powerful risk factor for TB disease and one of the leading causes of death among people infected with HIV. Among the 1.7 million lives that TB claimed in 2009, 380,000 were among people with HIV infection. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636883 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636883 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 05:00:00 EST This report presents national estimates of several measures of sexual behavior, sexual attraction, and sexual identity among males and females 15-44 years of age in the United States, based on the 2006-2008 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG). These data are relevant to demographic and public health concerns, including fertility and sexually transmitted diseases among teenagers and adults. Data from the 2006-2008 NSFG are compared with data from the 2002 NSFG and other national surveys. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636884 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636884 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 03:27:00 EST Routine screening of organ donors for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has made transmission of HIV through organ transplantation rare in the United States. However, despite routine screening, transmission of HIV can be an uncommon complication of organ transplantation and is a public health concern. In 2010, the New York City (NYC) Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYC DOHMH) was notified of a potential transplant-related HIV infection. This report summarizes the results of the subsequent public health investigation, which confirmed HIV transmission through transplantation of an organ from a living donor. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636885 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636885 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 08:10:00 EST Through December 2001, there were 57 documented cases of occupational HIV transmission to health care workers in the United States, and only one reported case has been confirmed since 2001. Occupational transmission of HIV is reported in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) HIV Surveillance Report1 in the transmission category that includes hemophilia, blood transfusion, perinatal exposure, and risk factor not reported or not identified. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636886 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636886 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 10:00:00 EST Premastication (i.e., chewing foods or medicines before feeding to a child) was reported recently as a route of human immunodeficiency (HIV) transmission through blood in saliva and has been associated with transmission of other pathogens. Approximately 14% of caregivers in the United States report premastication; however, the frequency of this behavior among HIV-infected caregivers is unknown. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636887 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636887 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 15:00:00 EST The slide set covering HIV Mortality has been updated through 2007. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636815 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636815 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 15:00:00 EST Through December 2001, there were 57 documented cases of occupational HIV transmission to health care workers in the United States, and only one reported case has been confirmed since 2001.

The Wisconsin Division of Public Health (WDPH) recently reported to CDC a 144% increase during 2000--2008 in HIV diagnoses among black MSM aged 15--29 years in Milwaukee County. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636893 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636893 Thu, 03 Feb 2011 14:00:00 EST Blacks/African Americans have been affected disproportionately by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection since early in the epidemic. Despite representing a smaller proportion (13.6%) of the U.S. population, blacks/African Americans accounted for half of the HIV diagnoses in adolescents and adults in 37 states during 2005—2008. Data from the National HIV Surveillance System were used to estimate numbers, percentages, and rates of HIV diagnoses in blacks/African Americans during 2005--2008. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636894 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636894 Thu, 03 Feb 2011 14:00:00 EST Interim Guidance: Preexposure Prophylaxis for the Prevention of HIV Infection in Men Who Have Sex with Men An estimated 56,000 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections occur each year in the United States (1). Men who have sex with men (MSM) account for 53% of the estimated incident infections, and surveillance data suggest that the annual number of new HIV infections among MSM has been rising since the mid-1990s. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636895 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636895 Thu, 27 Jan 2011 13:00:00 EST Many lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth and those who are questioning their sexual orientation are happy and thrive during their adolescent years. Going to a school that has created a safe and supportive learning environment for all students and having caring and accepting parents are especially important. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636897 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636897 Wed, 26 Jan 2011 14:00:00 EST Among MSM, African American/Black MSM is the subgroup most disproportionately affected.

Physicians and other health-care providers play a critical role in preventing and treating STDs. These guidelines for the treatment of STDs are intended to assist with that effort. Although these guidelines emphasize treatment, prevention strategies and diagnostic recommendations also are discussed. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636899 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636899 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 14:00:00 EST The HIV epidemic is a serious threat to the Hispanic/Latino community. While Hispanics/ Latinos1 represented approximately 15% of the United States (US) population, the rate of new HIV infections among Latinos was 2.5 times that of whites in 2006. During that same year, Latinos accounted for 17% of new HIV infections in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636900 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636900 Fri, 10 Dec 2010 12:00:00 EST The slide set covering HIV Surveillance in Urban and Nonurban Areas has been updated through 2008. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636751 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636751 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 17:00:00 EST The slide set covering HIV Surveillance in Adolescents and Young Adults has been updated through 2008. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636750 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636750 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 17:00:00 EST On December 1, CDC and its partners commemorate World AIDS Day to raise awareness of the impact of HIV/AIDS and recognize the success and progress of HIV programs made to date.

Data from the National HIV Surveillance System were used to estimate numbers, percentages, and rates of HIV diagnoses, AIDS diagnoses, and late diagnoses of HIV infection (defined as an AIDS diagnosis made =12 months from an initial HIV diagnosis) for persons diagnosed with HIV infection during 2001--2008 and reported to CDC through June 2009; these were used to determine populations and regions most affected by HIV and AIDS, late diagnoses, and trends in late diagnoses over time. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636903 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636903 Tue, 30 Nov 2010 15:00:00 EST Worldwide, tuberculosis (TB) incidence increased from 125 cases per 100,000 population in 1990 to 142 cases per 100,000 population in 2004, primarily because of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic. Persons with HIV are at increased risk for TB disease, and those with TB have a high risk for death. This is documented most clearly in resource-limited settings, where limited access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and other health-care services contribute to the elevated mortality. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636904 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636904 Wed, 24 Nov 2010 15:00:00 EST Today, the National Institutes of Health announced the results of the international iPrEx clinical trial, co-sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, that examined whether a pill containing two drugs used to treat HIV can also help prevent HIV infection – an approach called pre- exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636905 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636905 Tue, 23 Nov 2010 09:00:00 EST Persons who inject drugs should use a new, sterile needle and syringe for each injection.

Since then, the risk for transfusion-transmitted HIV infection has been almost eliminated by the use of questionnaires to exclude donors at higher risk for HIV infection and the use of highly sensitive laboratory screening tests to identify infected blood donations. The risk for acquiring HIV infection through blood transfusion today is estimated conservatively to be one in 1.5 million, based on 2007—2008 data. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636911 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636911 Thu, 21 Oct 2010 15:00:00 EST HIV Surveillance in Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM) slide set through 2008 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636806 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636806 Thu, 21 Oct 2010 15:00:00 EST The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP) proudly announces that it is offering two-year post-doctoral research fellowships- -the 2011-2013 DHAP/ORISE Post-Doctoral Research Fellowships for HIV Prevention in Communities of Color.

To calculate the estimated lifetime risk (ELR) and age-conditional risk for diagnosis of HIV infection among Latinos in 37 states and Puerto Rico, CDC analyzed HIV surveillance data, vital statistics data on general and HIV-specific mortality, and U.S. census data from 2007. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636914 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636914 Thu, 14 Oct 2010 12:00:00 EST The eighth annual National Latino AIDS Awareness Day comes at a time of renewed national commitment and optimism regarding HIV prevention, due to President Obama's recently-announced National HIV/AIDS Strategy, which focuses our nation's efforts in the fight against HIV. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636915 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636915 Thu, 14 Oct 2010 12:00:00 EST Annual hospitalizations estimated from hospital discharges during 1997--2007 with any-listed HIV/AIDS diagnoses. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636916 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636916 Fri, 01 Oct 2010 14:00:00 EST HIV Surveillance in Epidemiology of HIV Infection slide set through 2008 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636917 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636917 Mon, 27 Sep 2010 14:00:00 EST September 27, 2010 is National Gay Men's HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NGMHAAD)—a day to not only bring attention to and promote understanding of the disproportionate burden of HIV among gay and bisexual men, but also to recommit ourselves to the fight to end this devastating epidemic. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636918 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636918 Fri, 24 Sep 2010 13:00:00 EST Men who have sex with men (MSM) are at increased risk for infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In 2006, 57% of new HIV infections in the United States occurred among MSM (1). To estimate and monitor risk behaviors, CDC's National HIV Behavioral Surveillance system (NHBS) collects data from metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) using an anonymous cross-sectional interview of men at venues where MSM congregate, such as bars, clubs, and social organizations. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636919 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636919 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 12:00:00 EST Approximately one in five (19 percent) men who have sex with men (MSM) in a study of 21 major U.S. cities is infected with HIV, and nearly half (44 percent) of those men are unaware of their infection, according to a new analysis from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636920 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636920 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 12:00:00 EST Gay and bisexual men and other men who have sex with men (MSM) represent an incredibly diverse community. Gay and bisexual men have both shared and unique experiences and circumstances that affect their physical health and mental health needs as well as their ability to receive high-quality health services. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636921 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636921 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 12:00:00 EST Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM)1 represent approximately 2% of the US population, yet are the population most severely affected by HIV and are the only risk group in which new HIV infections have been increasing steadily since the early 1990s. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636807 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636807 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 12:00:00 EST The African American topic page, and the HIV among African Americans factsheet has been updated with current surveillance information. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636767 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636767 Mon, 13 Sep 2010 10:00:00 EST HIV Surveillance Report Supplemental: HIV/AIDS Data through December 2007.

While the HIV epidemic has not had a broad impact on the general U.S. population, it has greatly affected the economically disadvantaged in many urban areas. We sought to characterize the HIV epidemic in impoverished urban areas of the U.S. and determine whether the epidemic in these areas meets the UNAIDS definition of a generalized epidemic. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636924 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636924 Mon, 09 Aug 2010 15:00:00 EST The U.S. HIV epidemic has claimed more than 575,000 lives, and 56,300 Americans were newly infected with HIV in 2006. HIV prevention efforts to date have helped hundreds of thousands of people avoid infection, but have not reached enough of those currently at risk of acquiring or transmitting HIV with highly effective interventions to turn the course of the epidemic. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636925 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636925 Mon, 09 Aug 2010 15:00:00 EST Welcome to e-HAP FYI—one of a series of new communication products that expands the Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention's (DHAP) ability to reach you with timely, targeted information critical to our collective prevention efforts. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636926 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8636926 Mon, 09 Aug 2010 15:00:00 EST The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that it has awarded $42 million to 133 community-based organizations (CBOs) to help implement HIV prevention efforts among populations at greatest risk.
