ATLANTA – In a large study of U.S. health care workers in three states, researchers found that community exposure to COVID-19 was associated with COVID-19 infection in health care workers, but specific occupational activities in a hospital or health care setting were not. The findings were published in the
Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Network Open by researchers from Emory University in Atlanta, Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, University of Maryland in Baltimore, Rush University in Chicago and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
More than 24,000 health care workers took part in the study between April and August 2020 across four large health care systems which collaborate in the CDC’s Prevention Epicenter Program and conduct innovative infection prevention research. Each site conducted voluntary COVID-19 antibody testing on its health care workers, as well as offered a questionnaire/survey on the employees’ occupational
Rollins receives $6 million grant from Gilead’s HIV initiative
Emory’s Rollins School of Public Health has announced a $6 million grant from Gilead Sciences, Inc. over three years to continue to build the capacity of organizations working on the frontlines of the HIV crisis in communities across the Southern United States.
Emory will serve as one of four Gilead COMPASS coordinating centers alongside the Southern AIDS Coalition, the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, and Wake Forest School of Divinity to provide direct support to local community organizations to help mitigate the HIV epidemic in the South.
This is part of a second wave of funding from Gilead, manufacturer of antiretroviral therapies for HIV/AIDS. Emory’s COMPASS coordinating center has directly distributed more than $4.3 million to 104 community organizations, and is directed by Neena Smith-Bankhead, director of capacity building and community engagement.

ATLANTA – Health care workers are thought to be at high risk for contracting COVID-19 from on-the-job exposures. However, new research from Emory University shows exposures to people with COVID-19 outside the workplace, as well as Black race, were the strongest predictors of positive COVID-19 antibody tests, also known as seropositivity, in health care workers. The study was published online in the
Annals of Internal Medicine on Jan. 29, 2021.
The researchers also determined living in a zip code with higher COVID-19 incidence increased the risk of seropositivity to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, as did reported contact with an infected health care worker.
