Low Sars-CoV-2 Positivity in a Large, Diverse US-Based Study of Persons Affected by HIV
There are limited data on SARS-CoV-2 testing practices and positivity among children and adults affected by HIV. The Pediatric HIV/AIDS Cohort Study enrolls children, youth, and adults with perinatally-acquired HIV (PHIV), non-perinatally-acquired HIV (NPHIV), perinatal HIV exposure but uninfected (PHEU), and infants/children with PHEU across the United States and Puerto Rico. A Health Status Survey was developed and administered from April 2020 …
Cognitive Functioning and Its Stability Among Young Adults with Perinatal HIV Exposure or Acquisition in a U.S.-Based Longitudinal Cohort Study
The growing population of young adults with perinatal HIV acquisition (YAPHIV) or exposure without acquisition (YAPHEU) warrants investigation of ongoing cognitive effects of PHIV and lasting neurodevelopmental consequences of perinatal exposure to HIV and antiretroviral therapy (ART). Within the US-based AMP Up longitudinal cohort study, 608 YAPHIV and 131 YAPHEU completed the NIH Toolbox (NIHT) assessment of cognitive functioning and provided i…
Demystifying Traumatic Experiences and Complex Effects in People with HIV and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Tennessee
Background: Compared with the general public, people with HIV (PWH) experience more psychological trauma and higher rates of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), yet limited research explores how PWH may uniquely experience trauma. The primary goal of this study was to investigate trauma exposure typologies and sequelae among PWH to inform trauma screening and interventions. Methods: Qualitative interviews were conducted with a convenience samp…
Piloting Safety and Stabilization
Sustaining an HIV Prevention and Wellness Program for Sexual Gender Minorities during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Improving mental health, body image, and financial stability is paramount to achieving viral suppression and maintaining HIV-negative status for minoritized communities. The purpose of this paper is to describe the lessons learned from maintenance of an HIV prevention and wellness program during the COVID-19 pandemic. A three-session program was implemented in a hybrid format to account for county-wide restrictions and reopening processes. Lesson…
The Role of Pharmacy Refill Measures in Assessing Adherence and Predicting HIV Disease Markers in Youth with Perinatally-Acquired HIV (PHIV)
A randomized clinical trial of adolescents with HIV/Aids
The objective of this study is to determine if pediatric advance care planning (pACP) increases adolescent/family congruence in end-of-life (EOL) treatment preferences longitudinally. Adolescents aged 14-21 years with HIV/AIDS and their families were randomized (N = 105 dyads) to three-60-minute sessions scheduled one week apart: either the pACP intervention (survey administered independently, facilitated conversation with adolescent and family p…
