Risk Factors for HIV Infection in the U.S. Military: A Cross-Service Comparison

Abstract

Background: U.S. military personnel face HIV infection risks both at home and while in foreign lands. It is of paramount importance to quantify and understand the multi-faceted risk factors for HIV infection in this population in order to develop effective interventions. Mandatory, periodic HIV testing of U.S. military personnel has led to a uniquely well-characterized cohort of HIV-seropositive persons. This study capitalized on having a known seroconversion window, and it assessed HIV infection risks during that time period.
