Public gaining AIDS smarts, but misinformation persists

Article Abstract:

Public knowledge of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) continues to increase. AIDS education programs, news reports and personal experiences have contributed to public awareness of the disease. A survey shows that many Americans agree on methods for combating AIDS, yet condom distribution in schools remains a controversial issue. Many at-risk Americans remain uninformed about the disease despite widespread awareness.

Neutropenia is a risk factor for gram-negative bacillus bacteremia in human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients: results of a nested case-control study

Article Abstract:

Researchers conducted a study to explore the relationship between neutropenia and bacteremia due to Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, or Pseudomonas aeruginosa among HIV patients. Participants included 1,645 HIV-infected patients. They identified 44 incident cases of bacteremia. After covariates adjustment, the estimated odds ratio for the effect of neutropenia during the 7 days preceding the index date was 8.1.
