Summary
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) significantly reduces HIV transmission. This study analyzes global HIV PrEP research trends from 2012-2022, identifying key areas like long-term injections and public acceptance for future advancements.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Infectious Disease Prevention
- Medical Research
Background:
- Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a critical strategy for reducing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission.
- PrEP has transformed HIV prevention for individuals at high risk.
Purpose of the Study:
- To map the knowledge structure, research hotspots, and frontiers of HIV PrEP.
- To provide a reference for developing HIV prevention policies and future research.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis using CiteSpace software.
- Systematic review of 3,243 HIV PrEP studies from the Web of Science Core Collection (2012-2022).
Main Results:
- A significant increase in HIV PrEP publications from 2012 to 2022.
- Growing international collaboration in HIV PrEP research.
- Emerging research trends include long-acting injectable PrEP, chlamydia co-infection, and public awareness/attitudes.
Conclusions:
- The study provides a comprehensive overview of HIV PrEP research evolution.
- Identifies key areas for future research, including drug innovation, transmission factors, and public acceptance.
- Aims to guide scholars in understanding and advancing the field of HIV PrEP.

01:26Sexually Transmitted Infections
375
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

01:10Retrovirus Life Cycles
46.4K
Retroviruses have a single-stranded RNA genome that undergoes a special form of replication. Once the retrovirus has entered the host cell, an enzyme called reverse transcriptase synthesizes double-stranded DNA from the retroviral RNA genome. This DNA copy of the genome is then integrated into the host’s genome inside the nucleus via an enzyme called integrase. Consequently, the retroviral genome is transcribed into RNA whenever the host’s genome is transcribed, allowing the...

2.7K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.

Transmission-based precautions are for patients known to be infected or suspected to be infected or colonized with organisms that pose a significant risk to others. Some transmission-based precautions include contact, enteric, and droplet.
Contact Precautions:
Contact precautions are the measures taken to prevent the transmission of infectious agents, especially epidemiologically important microorganisms such as MRSA or influenza, primarily transmitted through direct or indirect contact with an...

Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

01:08Prevalence and Incidence
663
In statistical epidemiology and health sciences, two essential metrics—prevalence and incidence—are fundamental for understanding disease dynamics within a population. These measures enable public health officials, epidemiologists, and researchers to assess the burden of diseases, allocate resources effectively, and design impactful public health policies and interventions.
Prevalence indicates the proportion of individuals in a population who have a specific disease or health...
