MMWR News Synopsis for November 21, 2013
1. Differences in Antiretroviral Therapy Outcomes among HIV-Infected Men Compared with Women — Six African Countries, 2004–2010
Further research on country-specific reasons for differences between HIV-infected men and women in antiretroviral therapy (ART) enrollment characteristics and attrition are needed. The results of such studies could potentially identify strategies to improve early diagnosis and treatment among men, which could improve overall ART program outcomes, and might contribute to prevention of new HIV-infections in female partners.
2. Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision — Eastern and Southern Africa, 2010–2013
In nine countries where national ministries of health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are implementing Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC) for HIV prevention, VMMC uptake has increased nearly fourfold from 2010-2012.5. Very High Blood Lead Levels Among Adults — United States, 2002–2011
3. HIV Testing and Risk Behaviors Among Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men — United States
A new analysis of data from 20 major U.S. cities suggests concerning signs of sexual risk for HIV infection among gay and bisexual men, but indicates that accurate knowledge of HIV infection status can dramatically reduce risk.
4. Tularemia — United States, 2001–2010
Hunting of rabbits and other small mammals is a leading source of tularemia in the winter months. With rabbit hunting season now in full swing in many states, hunters are reminded to wear gloves when handling animals and cook game meat thoroughly.
5. Very High Blood Lead Levels Among Adults — United States, 2002–2011
Although there have been remarkable reductions in lead exposures in the United States, Lead exposures continue to occur at unacceptable levels. To prevent lead-related adverse health outcomes, increased efforts are needed to prevent lead exposures at workplaces and communities.
