Open AccessSara N Levintow, Molly Remch et al.ARTICLEJournal of Urban Health2026
HIV care indicators during the Covid-19 pandemic in relation to pre-pandemic care patterns among people with HIV in North Carolina
Open AccessCourtney N Maierhofer, Erika Samoff et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2026
The COVID-19 pandemic abruptly altered the way HIV care was accessed and delivered. We sought to assess HIV care indicators during the COVID-19 pandemic in relation to pre-pandemic HIV care patterns in North Carolina. Using statewide HIV surveillance data and group-based trajectory models, we identified pre-pandemic HIV care trajectories in two partially overlapping populations: (1) newly HIV-diagnosed from March 2014 through February 2018, follo…
Geospatial and phylogenetic clustering of acute and recent HIV infections in Lilongwe, Malawi
Open AccessGordon J Bell, Kimberly A Powers et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025
HIV transmission during early HIV infection impedes efforts to end HIV as a public health threat, as diagnosis typically occurs after this period of elevated transmission risk. To guide diagnosis and prevention strategies, we evaluated the geospatial and phylogenetic clustering of acute and recent HIV infection in Lilongwe, Malawi. We identified people with acute (pre-seroconversion) HIV infection (AHI) and a random sample of people with post-acu…

HIV Care Linkage and Initial Viral Suppression Among Persons Newly Diagnosed With HIV in North Carolina Before and After the Start of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Courtney N Maierhofer, Brian W Pence et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2025Referencias: 22
Objectives. To examine changes to HIV care outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods. We used North Carolina HIV surveillance data between 2018 and 2022 to calculate cumulative incidence differences (CIDs) and subdistribution hazard ratios (sdHRs) for (1) 30-day initial HIV care linkage, (2) 150-day stable linkage, and (3) 180-day viral suppression, comparing persons diagnosed with HIV during (starting March 1, 2020) versus before the pandem…

Sars-CoV-2 Mitigation Strategies, Testing, and Cases at 254 Jails in the US Southeast, October 2020 to May 2021
Sara N Levintow, Elena A Dirosa et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2022Citada por: 1Referencias: 26
Objectives. To characterize severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) mitigation strategies, testing, and cases across county jails in the Southeastern United States, examining variability by jail characteristics. Methods. We administered a 1-time telephone survey to personnel of 254 jails in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina between October 2020 and May 2021. Results. Some SARS-CoV-2 mitigation strategies (e…
Trajectories of fertility intentions among women living with HIV in South Africa
Katherine B Rucinski, Kimberly A Powers et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2021
Fertility intentions are thought to be dynamic among women of reproductive age, yet few studies have assessed fertility intentions over time among women with HIV. We examine temporal patterns of fertility intentions in women with HIV to assess the extent to which fertility intentions - and the corresponding need for safer conception and judicious antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimen selection - vary over time. 850 non-pregnant HIV-positive women …
The Effect of PrEP Use Disclosure on Adherence in a Cohort of Adolescent Girls and Young Women in South Africa

Modeling Adherence Interventions Among Youth with HIV in the United States
Open AccessAnne M Neilan, Audrey C Bangs et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2021
The Adolescent Medicine Trials Network for HIV/AIDS Interventions is evaluating treatment adherence interventions (AI) to improve virologic suppression (VS) among youth with HIV (YWH). Using a microsimulation model, we compared two strategies: standard-of-care (SOC) and a hypothetical 12-month AI that increased cohort-level VS in YWH in care by an absolute ten percentage points and cost $100/month/person. Projected outcomes included primary HIV t…

The association between substance use and sub-optimal HIV treatment engagement among HIV-infected female sex workers in Lilongwe, Malawi
Kathryn E Lancaster, Thandie Lungu et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2017
Female sex workers (FSW) have a high prevalence of substance use and HIV, but the impact of substance use on HIV treatment engagement is not well established. We evaluated the association between alcohol and marijuana use and sub-optimal HIV treatment engagement outcomes among HIV-infected FSW in Lilongwe, Malawi. We enroled FSW using venue-based recruitment into a cross-sectional evaluation assessing substance use and HIV treatment engagement. S…
Distance to testing sites and its association with timing of HIV diagnosis
Anna B Cope, Kimberly A Powers et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2016
Early HIV diagnosis enables prompt treatment initiation, thereby contributing to decreased morbidity, mortality, and transmission. We aimed to describe the association between distance from residence to testing sites and HIV disease stage at diagnosis. Using HIV surveillance data, we identified all new HIV diagnoses made at publicly funded testing sites in central North Carolina during 2005-2013. Early-stage HIV was defined as acute HIV (antibody…
