Abstract
Background: Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. (EHE) aims to end the HIV epidemic by focusing on 57 jurisdictions most impacted by HIV.
Methods: Using 2021 data from the National HIV Prevention Program Monitoring and Evaluation system, we calculated distributions of CDC-funded HIV tests and HIV testing services outcomes in EHE and non-EHE jurisdictions. We conducted chi-square tests and robust Poisson regression to compare differences in outcomes.
Results: Of the 1,753,873 tests conducted, a greater proportion were conducted in EHE (65.7%) versus non-EHE (34.3%) jurisdictions (p<0.001). Greater number of persons newly diagnosed were identified in EHE (n=5,861) versus non-EHE (n=2,329) jurisdictions; newly diagnosed positivity was higher in EHE (0.5%) versus non-EHE (0.4%; PR=1.31, 95% CI: 1.25-1.38) jurisdictions. Among persons newly diagnosed, there were no differences in proportion of linkage to care within 30 days in EHE jurisdictions (77.9%) versus non-EHE jurisdictions (77.1%; PR=1.01, 95% CI: 0.95-1.07). Proportion of persons newly diagnosed interviewed for partner services was lower in EHE (69.0%) versus non-EHE (84.8%; PR=0.81, 95% CI: 0.76-0.87) jurisdictions.
Conclusion: CDC-funded HIV testing services in EHE jurisdictions conducted more HIV testing and diagnosed more persons. Jurisdictions can further expand HIV testing and related services to continue striving toward EHE goals.
疾病预防控制中心资助的 2021 年美国(EHE)和非 EHE 管辖区内的艾滋病毒检测服务成果》(CDC-Funded HIV Testing Services Outcomes in Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. (EHE) and Non-EHE Jurisdictions, 2021.
背景:结束美国艾滋病毒流行(EHE)旨在通过关注受艾滋病毒影响最严重的 57 个辖区来结束艾滋病毒流行:我们利用国家艾滋病预防计划监测与评估系统(National HIV Prevention Program Monitoring and Evaluation system)中的 2021 年数据,计算了 EHE 和非 EHE 地区由疾病预防控制中心资助的艾滋病检测和艾滋病检测服务结果的分布情况。我们进行了卡方检验和稳健泊松回归来比较结果的差异:在进行的 1,753,873 次检测中,在 EHE(65.7%)和非 EHE(34.3%)辖区进行检测的比例更高(p 结论:由疾病预防控制中心资助的艾滋病毒检测服务在 EHE 地区进行了更多的艾滋病毒检测,诊断出了更多的人。辖区可进一步扩大 HIV 检测和相关服务,继续努力实现 EHE 目标。
