Survival Among New Yorkers with HIV from 1981 to 2017: Inequities by Race/Ethnicity and Transmission Risk Persist into the Post-HAART Era.

Data on long-term survival among people with HIV (PWH) can inform the development of services for this population. An estimated 90,000 PWH live in New York City (NYC). Using HIV surveillance data, we conducted survival analysis of PWH diagnosed in NYC before and after introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) (pre-HAART cohort: 1981-1994; post-HAART cohort: 1995-2016).

Neural Tube Defects in Pregnancies Among Women With Diagnosed HIV Infection - 15 Jurisdictions, 2013-2017.

In May 2018, a study of birth defects in infants born to women with diagnosed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in Botswana reported an eightfold increased risk for neural tube defects (NTDs) among births with periconceptional exposure to antiretroviral therapy (ART) that included the integrase inhibitor dolutegravir (DTG) compared with other ART regimens (1). The World Health Organization* (WHO) and the U.S.

Place-based predictors of HIV viral suppression and durable suppression among heterosexuals in New York city.

Scant research has explored place-based correlates of achieving and maintaining HIV viral load suppression among heterosexuals living with HIV. We conducted multilevel analyses to examine associations between United Hospital Fund (UHF)-level characteristics and individual-level viral suppression and durable viral suppression among individuals with newly diagnosed HIV in New York City (NYC) who have heterosexual HIV transmission risk. Individual-level independent and dependent variables came from NYC's HIV surveillance registry for individuals diagnosed with HIV in 2009-2013 (N = 3,159; 57% virally suppressed; 36% durably virally suppressed).

Testing for comorbid conditions among people with HIV in medical care.

People living with HIV (PLWH) are frequently affected by comorbid medical conditions. Despite the importance of diagnosing and treating these conditions, testing rates for common comorbidities often fall short of primary care recommendations for PLWH. Clinical care data were obtained from the 2012 New York City (NYC) Medical Monitoring Project (MMP), a multi-site surveillance project that includes demographically representative cohorts of PLWH receiving medical care.

Place-Based Predictors of HIV Viral Suppression and Durable Suppression Among Men Who Have Sex With Men in New York City.

We explore relationships between place characteristics and HIV viral suppression among HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) in New York City (NYC). We conducted multilevel analyses to examine associations of United Hospital Fund (UHF)-level characteristics to individual-level suppression and durable suppression among MSM. Individual-level independent and dependent variables came from MSM in NYC's HIV surveillance registry who had been diagnosed in 2009-2013 (N = 7159).
