TL;DR: PWH who were older, not on antiretroviral therapy, and with current CD4 count <350 cells/mm3, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease were overrepresented among PWH who required intubation or died, accounting for comorbidities associated with severe outcomes.

TL;DR: Estimating the joint effects of antiretroviral therapy initiation and current smoking on all-cause mortality in a United States cohort of 12,290 patients with HIV followed for up to 5 years between 1998 and 2011 and using multiple imputation to account for measurement error is illustrated.

TL;DR: Future efforts to prevent HIV transmission need to be spatially targeted, focusing on local-level transmission in risky populations, in addition to statewide anti- HIV efforts.

TL;DR: Nonadherence to extended postpartum antiretroviral regimens in ‘real world’ settings is likely to be higher than that seen in BAN, and identifying mothers with difficulty adhering to antireTrovirals, and developing effective adherence interventions, will help maximize benefits of antire troviral provision throughout breastfeeding.

TL;DR: North Carolina locates acute HIV cases by pooled nucleic acid testing of HIV‐antibody negative serum samples, demonstrating the utility of pooled testing in locating individuals that may remain undiagnosed otherwise.
