Go Where the Virus Is: An HIV Micro-epidemic Control Approach to Stop HIV Transmission

An HIV Micro-epidemic Control Model Aims to Prioritize and Focus Treatment and Prevention Efforts Where They Can Have the Greatest Impacts: Among a Shrinking Proportion of Individuals and Risk Networks With the Greatest Viral Burdens

Abbreviations: AHI, acute HIV infection; ART, antiretroviral therapy; HIV+, HIV-positive; HIV-, HIV-negative; PLHIV, people living with HIV; PrEP, pre-exposure prophylaxis.

The Natural History of HIV Disease Progression in the Absence of Antiretroviral Therapy, Variable Transmission Probabilities Associated With Viral Burden, and Capacities for Detection of HIV Infection Through Different Diagnostics

Abbreviations: Ag, antigen; Ab, antibody; PCR, polymerase chain reaction.

An Algorithm for Routine Screening for Acute HIV Infection in Populations Facing Elevated HIV Infection Risks

Abbreviations: ART, antiretroviral therapy; DBS, dried blood spot; HTS, HIV testing services; PCR, polymerase chain reaction; PrEP, pre-exposure prophylaxis; VL, viral load.^a Individuals with nonreactive results on the first or “screening” test would be notified as likely uninfected but as falling within a window period for possible HIV infection pending the outcome of the DBS HIV PCR testing.
