Global, regional, and national burden of HIV/AIDS, 1990–2021, and forecasts to 2050, for 204 countries and territories: the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 by Austin, Carter

“…Additionally, we introduced two new metrics to our reporting: prevalence of unsuppressed viraemia (PUV), which represents the proportion of the population without a suppressed level of HIV (viral load <1000 copies per mL), and period lifetime probability of HIV acquisition, which quantifies the hypothetical probability of acquiring HIV for a synthetic cohort, a simulated population that is aged from birth to death through the set of age-specific incidence rates of a given time period. FindingsGlobal new HIV infections decreased by 21·9% (95% UI 13·1–28·8) between 2010 and 2021, from 2·11 million (2·02–2·25) in 2010 to 1·65 million (1·48–1·82) in 2021. …”

Improving the Secure Socket Layer Protocol by modifying its Authentication function by El-Kassar, A. N.

“…If we double the key length in RSA to have more secure communication, then it is known that the time needed for the encryption and decryption will be increased approximately eight times. In this paper, we propose a modification of RSA from the domain of integers to the domain of Gaussian arithmetic to be applied to the first function of SSL that would give more secure communication. …”
