    We don’t dare to tell her ... we don’t know where to begin: Disclosure experiences and challenges among adolescents living with HIV and their caregivers in China

    The research findings indicate that disclosure to HIV-positive adolescents in China was delayed compared with recommended guidelines. This paper suggests culturally appropriate disclosure strategies should be developed, with a focus on supporting caregivers and destigmatizing HIV. The potential to use peer support strategies for both caregivers and adolescents in this process might also be explored.

    High prevalence of HIV drug resistance among newly diagnosed infants aged <18 months: Results from a nationwide surveillance in Nigeria

    The study found a high prevalence of pretreatment HIV drug resistance, predominantly nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor-based regimen (NNRTI) associated, among HIV-infected children (less than 18 months) in Nigeria. The findings support using a non-NNRTI regimen in children less than 3 years of age as a preferred first-line antiretroviral treatment regimen, as recommended by the World Health Organization. Child-friendly, fixed-dose, combination co-formulated drugs need to be widely available in the country.

    Sexual networks and HIV risk among black men who have sex with men in six U.S. cities

    Analysis of self-reported data from 1,349 black men who have sex with men in the United States, a group that is disproportionately affected by HIV, found that the men's sexual networks were relatively small and often overlapped with their social networks. Network interventions that engage the social networks of black men who have sex with men, such as peer influence, should be developed to affect social norms around HIV testing and HIV status disclosure.

    On the road again: Concurrency and condom use among Uganda truck drivers

    Analyses of data collected from Ugandan truck drivers showed that overlapping sexual relationships with two or more long-term partners, with whom condoms were not being used, was common. These findings are of particular concern because this population is sometimes considered a key bridging population in the HIV epidemic. Innovative intervention programs that address the realities of truck drivers' lifestyles are needed for these men and their partners.
