HIV reduced by 55% in England over a 2 year period a new study shows. Dana Ogaz of Public Health England made the presentation at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI 2019).<\/a>\u00a0The study shows the incidence of new HIV infections dropping 55% during two year period in men who have sex with men attending English sexual health clinics.<\/div>\n
\n

The data is from information routinely collected at sexual health clinics from 2012-2017. However, the modeling studies show the 55% HIV reduction happening in two years.\u00a0It includes gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM). In addition, it only includes those visiting the clinic twice or more in the same year. Because of this, it\u00a0might not characterize the broader population.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We Can\u2019t Say Cause And Effect\u2026<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

This is amazing information! But how did it happen? In the scientific community, this study does not show a direct \u201ccause\u201d and \u201ceffect\u201d. What data does show though, is that at same time HIV reduced, access to Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) was increasing. Which also corresponds to expanding testing and improvements in rapidly getting people into care after diagnosis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Why did they conduct this study?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

England is gearing up to roll out PrEP across the entire country. Therefore, this study provides a baseline to measure the impact of PrEP.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) However\u2026.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Meanwhile, same study shows STIs increasing dramatically. These increases from 2012-2017 are among gay men attending sexual health clinics regularly.<\/p>\n
