Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Acute infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is often accompanied by a flu-like illness, and early identification and treatment may help control the infection and prevent transmission. We enrolled patients who presented to an urban urgent care center with any symptoms of a viral illness and any recent potential risk for HIV infection, and we tested them for acute HIV infection using enzyme-linked immunosorbent and RNA assays. Of 499 patients enrolled over a 1-year period, acute HIV infection was diagnosed in 5 (1.0%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.1%-1.9%), and chronic HIV infection was diagnosed in 6 (1.2%; 95% CI, 0.2%-2.2%). There were no false-positive results of the RNA assay. No signs or symptoms reliably distinguished patients with acute HIV infection from those who were HIV uninfected. Given the importance of this diagnosis, testing for acute HIV infection using RNA and antibody assays should be offered to all patients in similar settings with viral symptoms and any risk factors for HIV infection.
