Impact of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) on Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Prescriptions in the United States-A Time-Series Analysis

Ya-Lin A. Huang et al.

Summary: This study assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) prescriptions in the United States from March 2020-March 2021 and found a 22% reduction in PrEP prescriptions and 25% reduction in number of new PrEP users.

Performance of a novel rapid test for recent HIV infection among newly-diagnosed pregnant adolescent girls and young women in four high-HIV-prevalence districts-Malawi, 2017-2018

Elfriede A. Agyemang et al.

Summary: This study conducted a field-based laboratory evaluation of a novel rapid test for recent HIV infection among pregnant adolescent girls and young women in Malawi. The results showed that the test demonstrated good performance and feasibility of integrating it into routine HIV testing services for real-time surveillance of recent HIV infection.

Near Real-Time Identification of Recent Human Immunodeficiency Virus Transmissions, Transmitted Drug Resistance Mutations, and Transmission Networks by Multiplexed Primer ID-Next-Generation Sequencing in North Carolina

Shuntai Zhou et al.

Summary: The study introduces a multiplexed Primer ID-next-generation sequencing approach to identify recent HIV-1 infections among newly diagnosed patients, finding a significant portion of recent infections and certain trends, such as higher likelihood of recent infection in younger individuals and drug users. The rapid identification of recent infections and drug resistance mutations through this approach allows for prioritization of care and intervention efforts towards high-risk individuals.

Experiences and lessons learned from the real-world implementation of an HIV recent infection testing algorithm in three routine service-delivery settings in Kenya and Zimbabwe

Mariken M. de Wit et al.

Summary: Based on our experiences in implementing three pilot studies in Kenya and Zimbabwe using a recent infection testing algorithm (RITA), we found important issues related to sample collection and handling, performance of the LAg avidity assay, integration into existing services, and challenges in returning test results to participants. Our real-world experience could provide valuable guidance for individuals currently working on the implementation of HIV recency testing in sub-Saharan Africa.

Trends in Nationally Notifiable Sexually Transmitted Disease Case Reports During the US COVID-19 Pandemic, January to December 2020

Melissa Pagaoa et al.

Summary: During March-April 2020, national case reporting for STDs dramatically decreased compared with 2019. However, resurgence in reported gonorrhea and syphilis cases later in the year suggests STD reporting may have increased in 2020, underscoring the importance of continued STD prevention and care activities.

Primer ID Next-Generation Sequencing for the Analysis of a Broad Spectrum Antiviral Induced Transition Mutations and Errors Rates in a Coronavirus Genome

Shuntai Zhou et al.

Summary: The Primer ID approach combined with the MiSeq platform is a powerful tool for studying mutagenic effects of antivirals on RNA viruses. It accurately measures mutation error rates and shows that NHC greatly increases the transition substitution rate in viral RNA genomes. This method provides valuable insights into the mutational dynamics of RNA viruses under antiviral drug pressure.

The interplay between HIV and COVID-19: summary of the data and responses to date

Lillian B. Brown et al.

Summary: Current evidence does not suggest that people living with HIV are at significantly higher risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2, but the prevalence of comorbidities associated with COVID-19 severity among PLWH remains a pressing issue. The COVID-19 epidemic has led to decreased access to HIV prevention services and testing, as well as worsened HIV treatment access and virologic control, potentially exacerbating the HIV epidemic.
