According to the CDC, one in seven people with HIV do not know they have it. To help raise awareness of the importance of early detection and treatment, the editors of CID, JID, OFID and JPIDS have selected several articles to help support National HIV Testing Day (NHTD) on 27 June and its mission to “Test Your Way. Do It Today”.
“The Human Immunodeficiency Virus Continuum of Care in European Union Countries in 2013: Data and Challenges” by Annabelle Gourlay, et al. from Clinical Infectious Diseases (CID)
“Rapid Decline in HIV Incidence Among Persons Who Inject Drugs During a Fast-Track Combination Prevention Program After an HIV Outbreak in Athens” by Vana Sypsa, et al. from The Journal of Infectious Diseases (JID)
