Why do PWID — people who inject drugs — continue as an uncontrolled source of HIV infection? Where are the missed opportunities for increased screening in this population? What barriers have been identified and what strategies can successfully overcome them? Which harm reduction initiatives have been proved effective, and can they be cost-effectively replicated? 

In this eHIV Review podcast, Dr. Josh Barocas from the Boston University School of Medicine and Boston Medical Center, and Dr. Raagini Jawa, an infectious disease and addiction medicine fellow at Boston Medical Center, provide a clinical perspective on these important questions.

Both the on-going syphilis and HIV epidemics are highly concentrated among men who have sex with men. While PrEP has been proven to reduce HIV transmission, it is not designed to prevent sexually transmitted infections like gonorrhea, syphilis, and chlamydia. What does the evidence say about reducing STI risk in MSM, and how can it be most effectively applied in practice? 

In this podcast, Dr. Matthew Spinelli — Assistant Professor in the Division of HIV, ID, and Global Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco and San Francisco General Hospital — takes us to the clinic to explain what providers can do to help their patients avoid acquiring and transmitting STIs.

Our ability to reduce HIV infection and transmission depends on testing, in particular assessing the status of at-risk people who continue to remain untested.  

In this issue, Dr. Cedric Bien-Gund from the Division of Infectious Diseases at the University of Pennsylvania takes us to the clinic to explain the pros and cons of the currently available HIV tests and explains which are best to use in particular clinical circumstances.
