Educating, demystifying, destigmatising’
Black cisgender women in the USA are disproportionately affected by HIV but remain underrepresented in HIV-related pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) messaging. Despite PrEP's efficacy in preventing HIV, uptake among Black cisgender in the USA women remains low. This qualitative study explored how PrEP messaging can better resonate with Black women's interests and needs by focusing on their experiences and preferences. We conducted semi-structured i…
Psychosocial Determinants of Antiretroviral Treatment Adherence among Black Mothers with HIV
Black mothers with HIV (BMWH) face treatment adherence (TA) challenges, shaped by gendered anti-Black racism, oppression, and structural inequalities, which hinder healthcare access, support, and well-being. Compounded by mothering responsibilities, understanding the determinants of TA is critical to addressing their unmet needs. We utilized an explanatory cross-sectional, multiphase sampling survey design. Twenty-five BMWH completed a 30-min onl…
Social and structural factors associated with interest in HIV preexposure prophylaxis among Black women in the United States
In a nationwide sample of cisgender Black women in the US, we assessed the associations between social and structural factors and interest in using HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Among 315 respondents, 62.2% were interested in PrEP if it were provided for free. Positive social norms surrounding PrEP, including injunctive norms (perceived social acceptability of PrEP use) and descriptive norms (perceived commonality of PrEP use), were positiv…
Past Is Prologue
Colonialism underlies the commodification of health care in the United States and continues to harm well-being among Black Americans. We present four recommendations for addressing its health consequences: (1) Investments in epigenetic research to improve our understanding of how systemic oppression becomes biology. (2) Centering Black experiences and knowledge traditions in education, practice, and policy. (3) Support for Black scholars, trainee…
Health Justice
Health crises have a disproportionate impact on communities that are marginalized by systems of oppression such as racism and capitalism. Benefits of advances such as in the prevention and treatment of HIV disease are unequally distributed. Intersecting factors including poverty, homophobia, homelessness, racism, and mass incarceration expose marginalized populations to greater risks while limiting access to resources that buffer these risks. Sim…
Racial and ethnic differences in women’s HIV risk and attitudes towards pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in the context of the substance use, violence, and depression syndemic
Women with syndemic conditions, i.e., two or more co-occurring epidemics, are at elevated risk for HIV acquisition and are therefore prime candidates for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). However, PrEP uptake remains low among women, especially among Black and Hispanic women. This study examined associations of syndemic conditions with PrEP attitudes and HIV risk among women, and the moderating effect of race and ethnicity. In 2017, 271 non-Hispan…
Electronic Dissemination of a Web-Based Video Promotes PrEP Contemplation and Conversation Among US Women Engaged in Care at Planned Parenthood
Differences in Medical Mistrust Between Black and White Women
Primary Care Physicians’ Willingness to Prescribe HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis for People who Inject Drugs
The Association Between Hiv Status and Homelessness Among Veterans in Care
Veterans seeking care in the Department of Veterans Affairs Health Care System (VA) are more vulnerable to HIV infection and homelessness. However, there is little scholarship on the association between serostatus and homelessness among VA veterans. We examined this association in the Veterans Aging Cohort Study, a sample of 6,819 HIV-positive and HIV-negative veterans attending 8 VAs across the country. We utilized logistic models regressing she…
