Abstract
The purpose of this analysis is to describe HIV tests and associated outcomes for Asian people reached by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) HIV testing program. We analyzed CDC-funded HIV tests among Asian individuals in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands (2014-2020). Of the 415,560 tests, the positivity of new diagnoses was higher among males (0.49%, aPR = 7.64) than females (0.06%), and in the West (0.42%, aPR = 1.15) than in the South (0.25%). In non-health care settings, positivity was highest among men who have sex with men (MSM; 0.87%) and transgender people (0.46%). Linkage to HIV medical care among Asian people was 87.5%, and 70.7% were interviewed for partner services. Our findings suggest that improvements are crucial, particularly for Asian MSM, in linkage to care and interview for partner services.
美国疾病控制和预防中心艾滋病毒检测项目所覆盖的亚裔人群:2014-2020 年艾滋病毒检测、艾滋病毒医疗护理链接和伴侣服务访谈》(HIV Testing, Linkage to HIV Medical Care, and Interview for Partner Services 2014-2020)。
本分析旨在描述美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)HIV 检测项目所覆盖的亚裔人群的 HIV 检测情况及相关结果。我们分析了美国、波多黎各和美属维尔京群岛(2014-2020 年)由疾病预防控制中心资助的亚裔 HIV 检测结果。在 415 560 次检测中,新诊断的阳性率男性(0.49%,aPR = 7.64)高于女性(0.06%),西部(0.42%,aPR = 1.15)高于南部(0.25%)。在非医疗机构中,阳性率最高的是男男性行为者(MSM;0.87%)和变性人(0.46%)。亚裔人群中,87.5%的人接受了艾滋病医疗服务,70.7%的人接受了伴侣服务。我们的研究结果表明,改进工作至关重要,尤其是对亚裔男男性行为者而言,在联系护理和接受伴侣服务访谈方面。
