Hope for the future protects against suicidal ideation among adolescents and young adults affected by perinatal HIV
Hope for the future has been found protective against suicidal ideation (SI) in adolescents and young adults (AYA) yet has not been examined in AYA with perinatal HIV-infection (PHIV) or AYA who were perinatally HIV-exposed but uninfected (PHEU), who are at higher risk for SI than general populations. Using data from a New York City-based longitudinal study of AYAPHIV and AYAPHEU enrolled when 9-16 years old, we examined associations between hope…
Acceptability and Feasibility of Providing Adherence Feedback Based on Tenofovir Diphosphate in Dried Blood Spots
Condomless Sex Among HIV-affected AYA in an Era of Undetectable = Untransmittable and Pre-exposure Prophylaxis
Measuring hope
We investigated the psychometric properties of the Children's Hope Scale among a sample of 1,118 South Sudanese refugee children (570 girls, 548 boys) aged 9 to 14 years displaced in Uganda. We assessed the underlying factor structure and model fit through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses and measurement invariance by sex and developmental stage. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed good fit for a one-factor model with the error term…
Navigating Stigma Trajectory and Mental Health Among Young Adults Living with Perinatal HIV in New York City
Psychiatric disorders and young adult milestones in HIV-exposed, uninfected youth
The global population of perinatally HIV-exposed but uninfected (HEU) children is growing, with relatively little known about their psychosocial outcomes, particularly across adolescence and young adulthood. Using data from a longitudinal cohort study of HEU youth in New York City (N = 134), we examine rates of substance use disorders (SUD) and non-SUD psychiatric disorders (mood, anxiety, and behavioral) at five time-points during adolescence an…
Few Aggressive or Violent Incidents are Associated with the Use of HIV Self-tests to Screen Sexual Partners Among Key Populations
Transgender Women’s Experiences Using a Home HIV-Testing Kit for Partner-Testing
Caregiver perceptions of environment moderate relationship between neighborhood characteristics and language skills among youth living with perinatal HIV and uninfected youth exposed to HIV in New Yor…
Despite the increased recognition of how neighborhood conditions bear on cognitive and academic outcomes, no studies have examined the influences of objective and subjective neighborhood indices on specific areas of cognitive functioning among youth living with perinatal HIV (PHIV). In the United States (US), this is of particular concern as HIV has disproportionately affected African American youth living in economically disadvantaged and racial…
Trajectory of use over time of an oral tablet and a rectal gel for HIV prevention among transgender women and men who have sex with men
We examined product adherence among 187 men who have sex with men and transgender women enrolled in a phase II, crossover trial comparing safety and acceptability of an oral tablet and a rectal gel used daily for HIV prevention. Participants reported adherence via daily text messages during 8-week periods. Trajectory analysis identified weekly patterns. Polytomous logistic regression identified characteristics associated with higher probability o…

Resilience in perinatal HIV+ adolescents in South Africa
Increasing numbers of perinatally HIV (PHIV+)-infected youth are surviving into adulthood with better access to treatment. However, few studies examine positive outcomes in the face of adversity (resilience) for PHIV+ youth. Social Action Theory (SAT) provided the theoretical framework for this study of PHIV + youth in South Africa (SA), allowing examination of contextual, social, and self-regulatory factors that influence behavioral health. Data…

The Vuka family program
An increasing number of adolescents born with HIV in South Africa are on antiretroviral treatment and have to confront complex issues related to coping with a chronic, stigmatizing and transmittable illness. Very few evidence-based mental health and health promotion programs for this population exist in South Africa. This study builds on a previous collaboratively designed and developmentally timed family-based intervention for early adolescents …

Female-Condom Use in a Gender-Specific Family Planning Clinic Trial
Objectives. We evaluated female-condom use among women participating in an HIV/STD intervention designed to reduce unprotected sex and expand prevention strategies. Methods. Women (n = 360) were recruited from a family-planning clinic and were randomized into an 8- or 4-session intervention group or a control group. We conducted follow-up interviews at 1, 6, and 12 months. Results. At 1 month, the odds ratios of first-time female-condom use were …

Adaptation of an Alcohol and HIV School-Based Prevention Program for Teens
Project Reach
High rates of unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infection (STI), including HIV, highlight the importance of promoting dual protection (DP) - i.e., methods that offer concurrent protection against unintended pregnancies and STI - during contraceptive counseling. Using a Phase II quasi-experimental design, this study compared an individualized, clinic-based, nurse-delivered intervention designed to increase DP against standard of care…

Prevalence and change in psychiatric disorders among perinatally HIV-infected and HIV-exposed youth
As the pediatric HIV epidemic in resource-rich countries evolves into an adolescent epidemic, there is a substantive need for studies elucidating mental health needs of perinatally HIV-infected (PHIV +) youth as they transition through adolescence. This article examines the role of perinatal HIV infection in influencing mental health by comparing the changes in psychiatric disorders and substance use disorders (SUD) in PHIV + and perinatally HIV-…
A Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate a Structural Intervention to Promote the Female Condom in New York State
HIV/Aids Surveillance Data for New York City West Indian–Born Blacks
Objectives. Although the risk of HIV among New York City West Indian–born Black immigrants often is assumed to be high, population-based data are lacking, a gap we aimed to address. Methods. Using 2006–2007 HIV/AIDS surveillance data from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and population data from the US Census American Community Survey 2007, we compared the rate of newly reported HIV diagnoses, prevalence of people living …
