Meningococcal Disease in Persons With HIV Reported Through Active Surveillance in the United States, 2009-2019.

ABSTRACT: Persons with HIV (PWH) are at increased risk for bacterial infections, and previous publications document an increased risk for invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) in particular. This analysis provides evidence that PWH face a 6-fold increase in risk for IMD based on Active Bacterial Core surveillance data collected during 2009-2019.
