Journal ArticleDOI
Investigating a sexual network of black men who have sex with men: implications for transmission and prevention of HIV infection in the United States.
Christopher B. Hurt,Steve Beagle,Peter A. Leone,Alyssa Sugarbaker,Emily C. Pike,Joann D. Kuruc,Evelyn Foust,Joseph J. Eron,Myron S. Cohen,Lisa B. Hightow-Weidman +9 more
TL;DR: HIV prevalence in this sexual network of young Black MSM rivals that of sub-Saharan Africa, reflecting dramatically increased risk of acquiring HIV from the moment one entered the network.
Journal ArticleDOI
The detection and management of early HIV infection: A clinical and public health emergency
M. Kumi Smith,Sarah E. Rutstein,Kimberly A. Powers,Sarah Fidler,William C. Miller,Joseph J. Eron,Myron S. Cohen +6 more
TL;DR: An increasing body of evidence supports the use of immediate antiretroviral therapy to treat EHI to maintain CD4 count and functionality, limit the size of the HIV reservoir, and reduce the risk of onward viral transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Management of Vaginal Discharge in Women Treated at a Jamaican Sexually Transmitted Disease Clinic: Use of Diagnostic Algorithms Versus Laboratory Testing
Frieda Behets,Yasmin Williams,Yasmin Williams,Brathwaite A,Brathwaite A,Tina Hylton-Kong,Tina Hylton-Kong,Irving F. Hoffman,Gina Dallabetta,Gina Dallabetta,Elisabeth Ward,Elisabeth Ward,Myron S. Cohen,J. Peter Figueroa,J. Peter Figueroa +14 more
TL;DR: Algorithms for syndromic management of abnormal vaginal discharge were used to treat 752 women who presented at a Jamaican sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinic and the most sensitive algorithm was selected for routine use in Jamaican STD clinics.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Substantial Transmission Bottleneck among Newly and Recently HIV-1-Infected Injection Drug Users in St Petersburg, Russia
Alexey Masharsky,Elena Dukhovlinova,Sergei V. Verevochkin,Olga V. Toussova,Roman V. Skochilov,Jeffrey A. Anderson,Irving F. Hoffman,Myron S. Cohen,Ronald Swanstrom,Andrei P. Kozlov +9 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that a single variant was transmitted in a majority of cases (9 of 13 participants), which is analogous to what is observed in sexual transmission and most consistent with a genetic bottleneck during transmission by injection drug use that is due to a small inoculum, which most often results in the transmission of a low-complexity viral population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phenotypic Correlates of HIV-1 Macrophage Tropism
Kathryn T. Arrildt,Celia C. LaBranche,Sarah B. Joseph,Elena Dukhovlinova,William D. Graham,Li Hua Ping,Gretja Schnell,Christa Buckheit Sturdevant,Laura P. Kincer,Macpherson Mallewa,Robert S. Heyderman,Annelies Van Rie,Myron S. Cohen,Serena Spudich,Richard W. Price,David C. Montefiori,Ronald Swanstrom +16 more
TL;DR: Data suggest that emergence of M-tropic HIV-1 includes multiple steps in which a phenotype of increased sensitivity to sCD4 and enhanced CD4 usage accompany subtle changes in Env conformation, which may represent evolutionary intermediates in a multistep process to macrophage tropism.
