Article Abstract
Objective: To compare employment in people by HIV status, mode of HIV transmission and migrant status.
Design: Nation-wide population-based register data from 1996 to 2016.
Methods: All people born between 1940 and 2000 (n = 8587 629) were identified from the Swedish Total Population Register and linked to the Swedish National HIV Register (n = 9492) and Longitudinal Integration Database for Health Insurance and Labour Market Studies. Adjusted prevalence ratios (adjPR) of employment were calculated using Poisson regression. Trends in employment were illustrated in scatterplots with overlaid prediction plots.
Results: People with HIV were less likely employed than HIV-negative but with decreasing difference over time [adjPR 0.57, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.54-0.60 in 1996, adjPR 0.84, 95% CI 0.83-0.86 in 2016]. Female migrants with HIV had the highest increase of employment over time and were more likely employed than HIV-negative female migrants by end of follow-up (adjPR 1.12, 95% CI 1.08-1.16). Swedish-born with present/former intravenous drug use had the lowest employment rates. Individuals with undetectable HIV-RNA viral levels showed higher employment rates (adjPR 1.29, 95% CI 1.20-1.38) compared with those with detectable viral levels.
Conclusion: Employment in people living with HIV (PLWH) increased over time but remained lower than for HIV-negative people. HIV was not associated with lower employment in migrants by end of follow-up, indicating that HIV is not a barrier for employment among migrants in Sweden. The heterogeneity of PLWH needs to be taken into account in interventions, and future studies, focusing on access to the labour market in PLWH.

DNA methylation analysis on anal swabs for anal cancer screening in people living with HIV.

Amsterdam UMC, location Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Department of Pathology, Boelelaan 1117, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Introduction: High-resolution anoscopy (HRA) to prevent anal cancer is complex and screening capacity is limited. Previously, we showed that DNA methylation analysis of anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) biopsies can distinguish between HSIL with an increased cancer risk, and HSIL with a low cancer risk, in which treatment may be safely withheld. Here, we assessed the performance of methylation analysis in anal swabs to identify patients with underlying HSIL with an increased cancer risk.

This study focuses on HIV-1-infected women of childbearing age in Liangshan Prefecture and analyses their HIV-1 RNA and HIV-1 DNA genotypic drug resistance to provide a theoretical basis and technical support for monitoring the spread of resistant strains and formulating and optimizing antiretroviral therapy regimens. The study subjects were HIV-1-infected women of childbearing age who were followed up in the county of Liangshan Prefecture from January to September 2023. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected from each subject.

Background: Identify opportunities to improve syphilis screening by describing changes in patient characteristics and risk factors among individuals with syphilis and by comparing cases with and without an indication for syphilis screening.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study used Colorado public health surveillance data to identify 8,326 syphilis diagnoses from 2011-2020. Demographics, clinical characteristics, and risk factors were compared across 2-year groups and between individuals with and without an indication for screening.
Nicotine metabolite ratio in people with HIV who smoke cigarettes receiving pharmacologic and behavioral cessation therapy.
Cancer Prev Res (Phila)
December 2024
University of Chicago Medical Center, United States.
People with HIV (PWH) smoke cigarettes at triple the rate of the general population in the US. Efforts to increase quit rates in this group have met with limited success. The nicotine metabolite ratio (NMR) has shown promise as a phenotypic marker that may be useful in selecting the most appropriate cessation treatments for people who smoke cigarettes.
