Abstract:Objectives: We examined whether molecular cluster membership was associated with public health identification of HIV transmission potential among named partners in Chicago.Design: Historical cohort study.
Methods:We matched and analyzed HIV surveillance and partner services data from HIV diagnoses (2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016) prior to implementation of cluster detection and response interventions. We constructed molecular clusters using HIV-TRACE at a pairwise genetic distance threshold of 0.5% and identifie… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
