Dicembre_2012 NUOVE DIAGNOSI DI INFEZIONE DA HIV E DEI CASI DI AIDS IN ITALIA

RIASSUNTO - Dal 2010 i dati sulla sorveglianza delle nuove diagnosi di infezione da HIV sono disponibili per tutte le regioni italiane. Nel periodo 1985-
2011, sono state riportate 52.629 nuove diagnosi di infezione da HIV. L’incidenza delle nuove diagnosi ha visto un picco di segnalazioni nel 1987, per poi
diminuire fino al 1998 e stabilizzarsi successivamente. Nel 2011 l’incidenza
era pari a 5,8 nuovi casi per 100.000 residenti. Negli anni si osserva un aumento dell’età mediana alla diagnosi, nonché un cambiamento delle modalità di
trasmissione: diminuisce la proporzione di tossicodipendenti ma aumentano
i casi attribuibili a trasmissione sessuale. Nel 2011 sono stati segnalati al COA
774 casi di AIDS diagnosticati nel 2011, e 486 casi diagnosticati negli anni
precedenti.

Getting to Zero – How to create an HIV-AIDS-free generation. | HIV: #dattiunacontrollata | Scoop.it

For those of us who were there at the start of the HIV/AIDS crisis and watched friends die from this horrid epidemic, the state of the disease today is nothing short of a miracle.  In the last 30 years, it has gone from being a death sentence to being a chronic, but manageable disease and today we’re optimistic about the goal of achieving an AIDS-free generation in this decade

Aids Test rapidi sulla saliva contro l' hiv nascosto poi farmaci preventivi - La Repubblica | HIV: #dattiunacontrollata | Scoop.it
Creare o utilizzare luoghi non "medicalizzati" dove chiunque possa farei test rapidi sull' Hiv: solo così possiamo far emergere il sommerso dei sieropositivi, vera "bomba ad orologeria" per l' espandersi dell' infezione che si è stabilizzata, si calcola, intorno ai 3-4 mila casi l' anno in Italia.

Annals of Internal Medicine | Screening for HIV: Systematic Review to Update the 2005 U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Recommendation

Conclusion: Previous studies have shown that HIV screening is accurate, targeted screening misses a substantial proportion of cases, and treatments are effective in patients with advanced immunodeficiency. New evidence indicates that ART reduces risk for AIDS-defining events and death in persons with less advanced immunodeficiency and reduces sexual transmission of HIV.

Women and HIV/AIDS in Prisons and Jails

Incarcerated women are 36 times as likely as non-incarcerated women to be living with HIV/AIDS.

Peer-based programs by design have many of the important program characteristics found to be effective for women, particularly building self-esteem, building supportive relationships among participants, providing role models to whom participants can relate, and using a non aggressive program style.

Many patients believe that a preoperative blood test routinely screens for HIV. The incorrect assumption that a lack of result communication indicates a negative test may contribute to delays in HIV diagnoses

Home HIV Testing: Good News but Not a Game Changer

In July 2012, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first truly over-the-counter home HIV testing kit. This commentary discusses the public's enthusiastic response to the approval of the test but concludes that although home HIV testing may be useful, its expectations in eliminating barriers to expanded HIV detection seem unrealistic. Ultimately, routine HIV screening in health care settings is our best hope for identifying the 235 000 Americans who remain unaware of their HIV infection and linking them to effective care.
