A groundbreaking study explores HIV control from a genetic perspective, identifying a gene with natural defense capabilities against HIV. This discovery offers potential for innovative treatment strategies in the ongoing fight against HIV, a global health challenge affecting millions worldwide. Moreover, it emphasizes the importance of studying diverse ancestral populations to address specific medical needs and bridge global health disparities. #HIVResearch #GeneticDefenseAgainstHIV #InnovativeTreatment #GlobalHealthChallenge #MedicalBreakthrough #AncestralDiversity #HealthDisparities #GeneticPerspective #ResearchDiscovery #MedicalAdvancement #HIVControl #GlobalImpact #HealthcareInnovation #MedicalScience #DiversePopulations #GeneticResistance #HealthEquity #ScientificBreakthrough #MedicalProgress #PublicHealth #GlobalHealthcare Follow for more updates - https://lnkd.in/dPPeyETT For more info - https://lnkd.in/drVv4SPy

Data analysis in HIV research involves a variety of tools and software to process and interpret the data effectively.

HIV, which stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus, is a significant public health concern in many Asian countries.Vulnerable populations, such as sex workers, injecting drug users, and men who have sex with men, are at a higher risk of HIV transmission in several Asian nations.Several countries in Asia have made progress in reducing mother-to-child transmission of HIV through prenatal screening and prevention programs.

Did you know? There's been an 18% increase in HIV diagnoses in the US and Dependent Areas since 2020. Challenges in data collection exacerbate HIV surveillance, with cases going unreported due to stigma. The solution? 💡 Our holistic AI-powered approach standardizes data, triggers real-time insights, and automates workflows for effective case management. On this World AIDS Day, Persivia pledges to advance technology for global HIV/AIDS surveillance. #WorldAIDSDay #Pledge #PersiviaCares #Persivia #healthcare #AI

CAPS METHODS CORE VIDEO https://lnkd.in/gjRQQaR2 - Using Multidimensional IRT Latent Transition Analysis and Markov Models to Examine the Longitudinal Associations between Intersectional Stigma and HIV Health Outcomes. Featuring Andrea Norcini Pala PhD, SUNY Downstate NY, and Bulent Turan, Koc University, Turkey PhD Goals of the Workshop • Learn about Multidimensional IRT Latent Transition Analysis (MIRT/LTA). • Application of MIRT/LTA to examine intersectional stigma longitudinally. • Discuss the Intersectional Stigma measurement model and measurement error within the MIRT/LTA framework. • Use of Markov Models and a three-step approach to estimate the relationship between • Intersectional Stigma and HIV Health Outcomes (both, categorical and continuous) • Strengths and limitations of MIRT/LTA • Overview of statistical packages to perform MIRT/LTA Hour 1 • Introduction of Multidimensional IRT and Latent Transition Analysis data; • Main steps involved in MIRT/LTA; • Importance of testing MIRT and LTA measurement model longitudinal invariance; • Interpretation of MIRT/LTA parameters (i.e., discrimination and location parameters, within and between classes’ latent trait mean, initial state, and transition probability). Hour 2 • Application of MIRT/LTA to examine Intersectional Stigma and HIV Health Outcomes. • Discussion of the main results. • Strengths and limitations of MIRT/LTA and Markov Models (e.g., use of inverse propensity weights, covariates, and distal outcomes) • Questions and answers A CAPS Methods Core presentation.

The HPTN Scholars Plenary will feature four engaging presentations from the 2023-2024 HPTN Scholar Cohort. Scholars develop research projects using data from HPTN studies as they emerge as subject matter experts and leaders in HIV prevention research.
