McNemar’s Post Hoc Tests for Primary Outcomes: Baseline to 60-Day Follow-up Behaviors.
*<p>Proportions in rows may not add to 1.00 due to rounding;</p>†<p>All baseline (Survey 1) and follow-up (Survey 2) chi-square and p-values are paired data, exact McNemar tests;</p>‡<p>Unprotected anal intercourse. The McNemar's odds ratio was calculated by dividing the proportion reporting ‘no to yes’ (from baseline to follow-up) in the numerator over the proportion reporting ‘yes to no’ (from baseline to follow-up) in the denominator. *p≤.05, **p≤.01, ***p≤.001.</p
Sexual Behavior in the 60 Days Prior to Enrollment by Randomization Group.
<p>Some variables have missing data.</p>*<p>Baseline HIV disclosure data were only available for the last encounter in the 60 days prior to baseline. In addition, 13 cases did not report any past 60-day one-on-one sexual encounters and therefore had no data for these questions.</p>†<p>HIV testing among HIV-negative and untested status men.</p>‡<p>Combined male and female partner data for up to the last 3 sexual encounters; 51 cases included female partners.</p>§<p>STI  =  sexually transmitted infections. Both the baseline and follow-up behavioral surveys inquired about any STIs diagnosed by a nurse or physician in the past 60 days, which included chancroid, chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, human papillomavirus, lymphogranuloma venereum, nongonococcal urethritis, syphilis, and hepatitis A, B, or C.

A High Content Screen in Macrophages Identifies Small Molecule Modulators of STING-IRF3 and NFkB Signaling
We
screened a library of bioactive small molecules for activators
and inhibitors of innate immune signaling through IRF3 and NFkB pathways
with the goals of advancing pathway understanding and discovering
probes for immunology research. We used high content screening to
measure the translocation from the cytoplasm to nucleus of IRF3 and
NFkB in primary human macrophages; these transcription factors play
a critical role in the activation of STING and other pro-inflammatory
pathways. Our pathway activator screen yielded a diverse set of hits
that promoted nuclear translocation of IRF3 and/or NFkB, but the majority
of these compounds did not cause activation of downstream pathways.
Screening for antagonists of the STING pathway yielded multiple kinase
inhibitors, some of which inhibit kinases not previously known to
regulate the activity of this pathway. Structure–activity relationships
(SARs) and subsequent chemical proteomics experiments suggested that
MAPKAPK5 (PRAK) is a kinase that regulates IRF3 translocation in human
macrophages. Our work establishes a high content screening approach
for measuring pro-inflammatory pathways in human macrophages and identifies
novel ways to inhibit such pathways; among the targets of the screen
are several molecules that may merit further development as anti-inflammatory
drugs
Primary Outcome Behaviors at 60-Day Follow-up.
<p>All variables have missing data.</p>*<p>HIV disclosure and anal sex variables include sex partner data for up to the 3 last sexual encounters; 1,720 did not report disclosure data due to loss to follow-up (1,461) or drop-out during the follow-up survey (142), no sex during follow-up (104), or only multiple-partner encounter data at baseline and thus no one-on-one encounter data (13).</p>†<p>Unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) was defined as ‘any’ unprotected (without a condom) insertive and/or receptive sex (yes/no).</p>‡<p>HIV Testing among HIV-negative and previously untested status men.</p>§<p>Since baseline, 74 men (5%) reported bacterial and/or newly diagnosed viral sexually transmitted infections (STIs), which included chancroid, chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, human papillomavirus, lymphogranuloma venereum, nongonococcal urethritis, syphilis, and hepatitis A, B, or C.

Baseline Demographic and Behavioral Characteristics by Randomization Group.
<p>Overall sample includes participants who reported male partners only (n = 2,950, 95%), male and female partners (n = 113, 4%), and male and transgender partners (n = 16, 1%); 13 participants did not report one-on-one sexual encounters and did not have encounter-specific data.</p
