This article provides an updated examination of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemiologic trends among adolescents and young adults (AYAs) in the United States, highlighting the significant public health challenge posed by HIV within this demographic. Despite a notable decline in HIV diagnoses among AYAs, challenges remain, particularly due to 50% of AYAs living with HIV being unaware of their status. The article aims to evaluate current clinical recommendations, identify deficiencies, and propose evidence-based improvements for HIV prevention, diagnosis, and care, with the goal of enhancing health outcomes and reducing HIV prevalence among AYAs.
本文对美国青少年和年轻成年人（AYAs）中的人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）流行趋势进行了最新的研究，强调了在这一年龄段中 HIV 所带来的重大公共卫生挑战。尽管 AYAs 中的 HIV 诊断率显著下降，但仍存在挑战，特别是因为有 50%的 HIV 感染者并不知道自己的病情。本文旨在评估当前的临床建议，发现不足之处，并为 HIV 的预防、诊断和治疗提出基于证据的改进建议，以改善 AYAs 的健康结果并降低 HIV 的流行率。
