Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) remains a public health issue in the U.S., affecting approximately 1.2 million individuals, many of whom are unaware of their infection status. This study reviews predictors and the performance of HIV risk prediction models. We analyzed 18 studies published since 2010, which featured logistic regression, survival analysis, and machine learning techniques. These studies focused on diverse populations, including men who have sex with men, emergency department visitors, and the general population. Key predictors of HIV risk included demographics (age, sex, race) and behavioral factors (sexual practices, drug use). Electronic health records (EHR) documenting diagnoses of sexually transmitted infection (STI) were significant in all models. Behaviors like condomless sex, multiple sexual partners, and drug use were also strongly linked to increased risk scores. However, we noted a lack of social determinants of health in risk models, and a gap in studies focusing on cis female and transgender populations.
期刊介绍:
AIDS and Behavior provides an international venue for the scientific exchange of research and scholarly work on the contributing factors, prevention, consequences, social impact, and response to HIV/AIDS. This bimonthly journal publishes original peer-reviewed papers that address all areas of AIDS behavioral research including: individual, contextual, social, economic and geographic factors that facilitate HIV transmission; interventions aimed to reduce HIV transmission risks at all levels and in all contexts; mental health aspects of HIV/AIDS; medical and behavioral consequences of HIV infection - including health-related quality of life, coping, treatment and treatment adherence; and the impact of HIV infection on adults children, families, communities and societies. The journal publishes original research articles, brief research reports, and critical literature reviews. provides an international venue for the scientific exchange of research and scholarly work on the contributing factors, prevention, consequences, social impact, and response to HIV/AIDS.
