Barriers to Same-Day Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Implementation in Federally Funded HIV Clinics Within High-Burden Areas of the U.S
Effectiveness Outcomes from a Social Network Diffusion Intervention to Increase Covid-19 Testing and Vaccination among Individuals Impacted by the Criminal Legal System in Urban U.S. Cities
Social network diffusion interventions are a promising strategy for promoting health behavior change at the community level. Individuals impacted by the criminal legal system (CLS) experienced disproportionately high morbidity and mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of the National Institutes of Health Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics-Underserved Populations (RADX-UP) initiative, we evaluated a group-level social network diffusion in…
Intersectional Lives, and Ecological Risks
Contact with the criminal legal system -particularly delinquency and policing-are linked to suicide attempts among Black youth. These findings underscore the need for prevention strategies that integrate suicide risk screening with efforts to reduce harmful criminal legal exposures and support youth and families affected by incarceration
Associations Between Stigma, Discrimination, and HIV Continuum of Care Outcomes Among Criminal Legal-Involved Youth and Young Adults with HIV
These findings highlight an elevated burden of internalized HIV stigma and health care discrimination among transgender women and challenge the assumption that education uniformly protects against stigma. Instead, individuals with higher educational attainment may be more attuned to experiences of intersectional stigma. The positive association between healthcare discrimination and provider-patient engagement suggests a complex dynamic where expe…
Protocol for a randomized controlled trial of patient–portal–based screening for substance use among people with HIV
Background: Achieving Equity in Patient Outcome Reporting for Timely Assessments of Life with HIV and Substance Use (ePORTAL HIV-S) is a research project funded by the National Institute for Drug Abuse to implement and evaluate multi-level interventions to decrease barriers to substance use screening and treatment for PLWH. At its center is a multidomain intervention addressing digital, sociocultural, and health care system environments, at indiv…
Police Harassment and Psychiatric, Sexual, and Substance Use Risk Among Black Sexual Minority Men and Black Transgender Women in the HIV Prevention Trials 061 Cohort
Age Differences in the Associations Between Incarceration and Subsequent Substance Use, Sexual Risk-Taking, and Incident STI Among Black Sexual Minority Men and Black Transgender Women in the HIV Prev…
Incarceration can lead to different risk behaviors often due to increased distress and disruption of social networks. It is not well known, however, how these associations may differ by age. In this study, we measure age differences in longitudinal associations between incarceration and substance use, sex risk, and sexually transmitted infection (STI) among Black sexual minority men and Black transgender women (BSMM/BTW). We recruited BSMM/BTW fr…
Multi-Level and Intersectional Stigma Experienced by Black Transgender Women in Chicago
Using the Meaningful Involvement of People Living with HIV/Aids (Mipa) Framework to Assess the Engagement of Sexual Minority Men of Color in the US HIV Response
A National Portrait of Public Attitudes toward Opioid Use in the US
Public health policies are most effective in addressing OUD. We suggest targeting interventions toward the "High Stigma/Mixed Public Health and Punitive Policy" group since this group already displays some support for public health policies. Broader interventions, such as eliminating stigmatizing messaging in the media and redacting punitive policies, could reduce OUD stigma among all groups
Sexual Orientation, HIV Vulnerability-Enhancing Behaviors and HIV Status Neutral Care Among Black Cisgender Sexual Minority Men in the Deep South
Posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms and incarceration
Black men and people belonging to sexual minority groups are disproportionately impacted by criminal legal involvement and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Traumatic experiences are often associated with later criminal legal involvement, depression symptoms, sexual risk behavior, and STIs. Research on the joint influence of trauma and incarceration on STI risk among racial and/or sexual minority people is limited. This study tested the ass…
Associations Between Experienced HIV Stigma, Resulting Consequences, and the HIV Care Continuum

Incarceration, Social Support Networks, and Health among Black Sexual Minority Men and Transgender Women
Support from social networks buffers against negative effects of stress but is disrupted by incarceration. Few studies examine incarceration, social support networks, and health among Black sexual minority men (BSMM) and Black transgender women (BTW). We conducted a secondary analysis using HIV Prevention Trials Network 061 (HPTN 061), a sample of BSMM/BTW recruited from six US cities. We measured associations between recent incarceration reporte…
Examining the Implementation of Conditional Financial Incentives Using the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) Framework to Improve HIV Outcomes among Persons Livi…
Economic strengthening interventions are needed to support HIV outcomes among persons living with HIV (PLWH). The Baton Rouge Positive Pathway Study (BRPPS), a mixed method implementation science study, was conducted to assess key RE-AIM components tied to the provision of conditional financial incentives among PLWH in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Seven hundred and eighty-one (781) PLWH enrolled at four HIV clinic sites were included in the final anal…

The Social Context of HIV Prevention and Care among Black Men Who Have Sex with Men in Three U.S. Cities
Background: In many parts of the world, stark racial disparities in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevalence, incidence, prevention, and care outcomes persist among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM), with Black MSM significantly impacted in the United States (U.S.). Individual-level characteristics, including sexual behaviors and socioeconomic status, do not fully account for racial/ethnic disparities in HIV among MSM.…

The High Prevalence of Incarceration History Among Black Men Who Have Sex With Men in the United States
Objectives. We examined lifetime incarceration history and its association with key characteristics among 1553 Black men who have sex with men (BMSM) recruited in 6 US cities. Methods. We conducted bivariate analyses of data collected from the HIV Prevention Trials Network 061 study from July 2009 through December 2011 to examine the relationship between incarceration history and demographic and psychosocial variables predating incarceration and …

Receipt of HIV prevention interventions is more common in community-based clinics than in primary care or acute care settings for Black men who have sex with men in the District of Columbia
Characterization of structural barriers that impede the receipt of HIV prevention and care services is critical to addressing the HIV epidemic among Black men who have sex with men (BMSM). This study investigated the utilization of HIV prevention and general care services among a non-clinic-based sample of BMSM who reported at least one structural barrier to engagement in care. Proportions of participants who had received HIV prevention services …
