This raises the risk of transmitting the virus while interrupting treatment as part of a study.

That’s according to New York City health officials who showed that the city has made great strides on this measure.

Despite many years of enthusiastic calls for an “end to AIDS,” experts have yet to settle on what that would actually entail.

But gay men living with untreated HIV did see higher viral loads if they also had a sexually transmitted infection, says a new study.

The CDC is beginning to use molecular surveillance of HIV to identify transmission clusters, which has some privacy advocates concerned.

That’s according to a new consensus statement released at International AIDS Conference in Amsterdam (AIDS 2018).

A speedy overview of the major scientific findings presented at the International AIDS Conference in Amsterdam (AIDS 2018)

After a decade of phenomenal growth, donor funding for low- and middle-income nations fell 7 percent between 2012 and 2017.

Boasting a 77 percent viral suppression rate, the hard-hit African nation has already surpassed UNAIDS’s epidemic-control targets for 2020.

A 2010 policy to rapidly treat all those newly diagnosed with HIV has proved highly successful.

This association held true even when researchers controlled for changing rates of viral suppression of HIV in 2012 to 2016 records.

The newly released PARTNER2 study documented 77,000 condomless anal sex acts between mixed-HIV-status men; Opposites Attract had 12,000.

The evidence remains inconclusive, with a few reports of women with a very low viral load transmitting HIV to their babies.

The study of mixed-HIV-status gay couples prompted the CDC to conclude that undetectable people have effectively no risk of passing on HIV.

In 2015, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published a study claiming the risk reduction figure was only 70 percent.

Everyone needs to come prepared to share their thoughts on what it will take to end the HIV epidemic in America.
