Abstract

To explore recent patterns in the HIV epidemic in young gay and bisexual men, we analyzed national AIDS surveillance data for men who have sex with men (MSM) 13 to 25 years of age. Estimates of annual AIDS incidence were calculated by adjusting the surveillance data for reporting delays, unreported HIV risks, and the 1993 change in the AIDS case definition. Between 1990 and 1995, estimated AIDS incidence in young MSM declined 29%, from 1400 to 1000 cases; however, trends in incidence varied greatly by race/ethnicity. Annual AIDS incidence decreased 50% in whites during this period (from 720 to 360), but fell just 2% in blacks (from 430 to 420) and rose 5% in Hispanics (from 220 to 230). Trends in incidence also differed by metropolitan statistical area (MSA) size. Between 1990 and 1995, AIDS incidence declined 37% in MSAs with populations of 2,500,000 people or more and 28% in MSAs with 1,000,000 to 2,499,999 people, but incidence decreased only 15% in MSAs with 500,000 to 999,999 people, and 13% in MSAs with 50,000 to 499,999. Incidence in nonmetropolitan (i.e., rural) areas was unchanged. Young black and Hispanic MSM now account for most young MSM with AIDS, and incidence in young MSM in small MSAs and rural areas has been re...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
