Alves, Justin; Stewart, Jessica; Ruiz-Mercado, Glorimar; Taylor, Jessica L.
- Abstract
The 2021 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Sexually Transmitted Infections Treatment Guidelines, published in July, recommend laboratory-based HIV antigen/antibody (Ag/Ab) tests, which can detect acute HIV infection as soon as 15 days after exposure, as first-line for HIV screening. Increased HIV transmission among people who inject drugs (PWID) has been a morbid consequence of the opioid and polysubstance use disorder epidemics in regions across the USA.
