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
Screening Yield of HIV Antigen/Antibody Combination and Pooled HIV RNA Testing for Acute HIV Infection in a High-Prevalence Population
Philip J. Peters,Emily Westheimer,Stephanie E. Cohen,Lisa B. Hightow-Weidman,Nicholas Moss,Benjamin Tsoi,Laura Hall,Charles K. Fann,Demetre Daskalakis,Steve Beagle,Pragna Patel,Asa Radix,Evelyn Foust,Robert P. Kohn,Jenni Marmorino,Mark Pandori,Jie Fu,Taraz Samandari +17 more
TL;DR: In a high-prevalence population, HIV screening using an HIV Ag/Ab combination assay following a negative rapid test detected 82% of acute HIV infections detectable by pooled HIV RNA testing, with a positive predictive value of 59%.
Journal ArticleDOI
"No one's at home and they won't pick up the phone": using the Internet and text messaging to enhance partner services in North Carolina.
Lisa B. Hightow-Weidman,Steve Beagle,Emily C. Pike,Joann D. Kuruc,Peter A. Leone,Victoria Mobley,Evelyn Foust +6 more
TL;DR: Centralization of IPN services augmented partner detection of new HIV and syphilis diagnoses and text messaging for partner notification represents a potentially effective method for augmenting traditional partner services.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integration of contact tracing and phylogenetics in an investigation of acute HIV infection
Ann M Dennis,Dana K. Pasquale,Rachael M Billock,Steve Beagle,Victoria Mobley,Anna B. Cope,Joann D. Kuruc,Joseph Sebastian,Charles Walworth,Peter A. Leone +9 more
TL;DR: The concurrent expansion of multiple small transmission clusters rather than a single outbreak is identified in a largely disconnected contact tracing network, highlighting the potential of combined methods to better identify high-risk networks for intervention.
Journal Article
HIV infection among partners of HIV-infected black men who have sex with Men - North Carolina, 2011-2013.
TL;DR: Using partner services to ensure that HIV-infected partners are linked to care and treatment might reduce HIV transmission and might improve outcomes along the continuum of care.
