Assessing the cost effectiveness of pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV prevention in the US.
In order to assess the cost-effectiveness of pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV prevention in the U.S., the author evaluates various studies and finds that they yield widely varying estimates of the cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained, and that this variations reflects the substantial uncertainty surrounding the determinants of HIV transmission as well as different approaches to translating a reduction in HIV cases into an estimate of the increase in the number of QALYs.

Racial/ethnic disparities in antiretroviral treatment among HIV-infected pregnant Medicaid enrollees, 2005-2007.
The purpose of this study was to describe racial/ethnic disparities in ARV treatment of low-income Medicaid-eligible HIV-infected women, with a focus on minority populations in southern states. It found that Hispanic or Latino women are a specific subgroup at risk for inadequate ARV therapy in pregnancy. The researchers point out a specific policy issue with regard to the systematic exclusion of many immigrants from Medicaid-covered care during the prenatal period.

Opportunities for sexual transmission of antiretroviral drug resistance among HIV-infected patients in care.
The researchers had two aims: to examine patterns of nonadherence, high-risk sexual behavior, detectable HIV viraemia and antiretroviral drug resistance, and to identify factors associated with potential transmission of drug-resistant HIV among patients engaged in HIV care. They found that a small but significant proportion of clinic patients with viraemia and documented resistant HIV continue to engage in sexual behaviors that place others at risk for transmitted drug resistance.

Conditional economic incentives to improve HIV treatment adherence: literature review and theoretical considerations.
This review summarizes various theories from micro- and behavioral-economics to social and clinical psychology that may help to understand how conditional economic incentives (CEI) work, and how they may be integrated with theories of health behavior that focus more on internal motivation. It concluded that appropriate CEI can help patients adhere to HIV treatment in the short-term, while incentives are in place.

Assessing the usage of a guideline-driven interactive case simulation tool for insomnia screening and treatment in an HIV clinical education program.
The researchers report the preliminary results from a study to assess the usage of a guideline-driven insomnia screening and treatment case simulation tool. Using system usage diagrams as an instrument, they quantified visit frequency and length of stay for different types of system resources. Preliminary results have shown that both recommendations and interactive decision diagrams were frequently used, with the former having a longer length of stay but fewer visits.
