Late versus early testing of HIV -- 16 sites, United States, 2000-2003

Article Abstract:

Hispanic-Americans, African-Americans, and people with little education are not being tested for HIV early enough to benefit from effective treatments to prevent AIDS. This was the conclusion of a survey of 5,980 HIV-positive Americans. Those who were tested early did not develop AIDS for at least five years. Those who were tested late developed AIDS within one year.

Incidence of cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions associated with HIV serostatus, CD4 cell counts, and human papillomavirus test results

Article Abstract:

A determination of the incidence of squamous intraepithelial lesions (SILs) in HIV-seropositive women with normal cytology results, by baseline human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA results is done. The results suggest that similar cervical cancer screening practices would be applicable to both HIV-seronegative and HIV-seropositive women.
