Recent HIV infection among women and men enrolling to care in urban clinics in Ethiopia.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundEarly HIV diagnosis allows timely interventions to control HIV transmission. We have determined the proportion of recent infections among people living with HIV (PLHIV) enrolling to care in Ethiopia and identified factors associated with recent infection.
methodsParticipants (aged ≥ 15 years) newly enrolled in HIV care were recruited from urban clinics in central Ethiopia (2022-2024). We used a recent infection testing algorithm, combining limiting antigen avidity serology and viral load quantification, to determine HIV infection recency. Factors associated with recent infection were investigated using logistic regression analysis, including sex-stratified analyses.
resultsAmong 622 participants (median age 35 years; 364 [58.5%] women), 42 (6.8%) had recent infection. Recent infection was more common among PLHIV aged 15-24 years compared to those > 24 years (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 4.3; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.1-8.6), and in PLHIV belonging to key and priority populations (aOR, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.1-4.2). In sex-stratified analyses, age 15-24 years remained significantly associated with recent infection in both men (unadjusted odds ratio, 6.4; 95% CI, 1.5-26.5) and women (aOR, 2.7; 95% CI,1.2-6.1), whereas belonging to key and priority populations was significantly associated with recent infection only among women (aOR, 2.4; 95% CI, 1.1-5.2).
conclusionA low proportion of PLHIV newly enrolled in care had recently acquired HIV infection. Recent infection was more common among persons aged 15-24 years and women belonging to key and priority populations. Further scale-up of HIV testing services are needed to improve detection of recent infection, which could help in prevention of new infections.
