Recent HIV-1 infection in Israel 2017-2021: Evaluation of geenius and HIV-1/2 combo assays for identifying recent infection detected by Sedia assay and assessment of factors related to recent infection: Recent HIV-1 infection in Israel.

Background: Estimating HIV-1 recency of infection for incidence and local outbreaks detection usually involves specifically designed assays. Here, we established an approach to identify recent infections, estimate their rate, and assess potential risk factors.

Methods: Randomly selected HIV-1 positive samples (n = 382) collected in 2017-2021 were tested by Sedia and compared to the results of Geenius recency algorithm and the S/CO values of the HIV-1/2 Combo assay.

Ten Years Follow-Up of a Community-Nurse Managed Intervention to Improve Diabetes Control.

Background And Purpose: Diabetes control measures were shown to improve, following multidisciplinary intervention managed by a nurse in short-term follow-ups. However, there is a lack of data regarding the long-term effects of such interventions. We assessed long-term diabetes management and control measures in a central multidisciplinary primary care clinic, following a brief intervention conducted by a community nurse.
