Identifying factors related to longitudinal viral load patterns among people living with HIV
Durable HIV viral suppression is the primary goal of initiatives aimed at ending the HIV epidemic. This study (1) identified viral suppression patterns over a four-year period, and (2) determined the association of viral suppression patterns with demographic characteristics. This study was a retrospective observational analysis of insurance claims data of 2,677 members of a New York City managed care plan who were living with HIV (PLWH). Using cl…
A Case-Control Study of Virologic Failure Among People Living with HIV Enrolled in a NYC-Based Medicaid Special Needs Plan
Engagement in HIV care is essential for viral suppression, and care coordination programs have shown improved retention and adherence. In New York Medicaid HIV Special Needs Plans (SNP), health-homes provide enhanced care coordination for people with HIV (PWH) at risk of non-adherence; however, evidence of their impact on virologic outcomes is limited. Using a matched case-control design and 2016-2018 data from a New York City Medicaid HIV SNP, t…
Patterns of Social Engagement and Associations with Depression, Loneliness and Stigma in People Living with HIV
Perspectives on weight change and antiretroviral therapy from people living with HIV in New York City
Some people living with HIV experience weight gain or loss after initiating or switching antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens. There is limited research on how perceptions of weight change affect health behaviors in this population. We interviewed 61 people living with HIV (aged 23-65; 51% cisgender men, 36% cisgender women, 13% transgender/nonbinary; 87% Black and/or Hispanic) in New York City about their feelings about weight change. Using an …
The Relationship Between Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Alcohol Misuse and Smoking Among Aging Men Who Have Sex With Men
There is a particular need for effective smoking cessation interventions for aging MSM with PTSD
Advance Care Planning Among Sexual Minority Men
Objectives: Advance care planning (ACP) specifies decision-making surrogates and preferences for serious illness or end-of-life medical care. ACP research has largely neglected sexual minority men (SMM), a population that experiences disparities in health care and health status. Methods: We examined formal and informal ACP among SMM ages 40+ in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study ( N = 1,071). Results: For informal ACP (50%), younger SMM and men wi…
Pain Is Associated With Depressive Symptoms, Inflammation, and Poorer Physical Function in Older Adults With HIV
OBJECTIVE: People living with HIV (PLWH) frequently experience pain, which often co-occurs with psychological symptoms and may impact functional outcomes. We investigated cross-sectional associations between pain, depressive symptoms, and inflammation, and then explored whether pain was related to poorer physical function among older PLWH. METHODS: We examined data from PLWH aged 54 to 78 years ( n = 162) recruited from a single outpatient progra…
Recommendations for Advancing Research With Sexual and Gender Minority Older Adults
By 2060, there will be more than 5 million sexual and/or gender minority (SGM) older adults aged 50+ living in the United States (Fredriksen-Goldsen & Kim, 2017). SGM is an umbrella term that includes, but is not limited to, individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, nonbinary (LGBTQ+), or who exhibit attractions and behaviors that do not align with heterosexual or traditional gender norms (Na…
Biopsychosocial Health Outcomes and Experienced Intersectional Stigma in a Mixed HIV Serostatus Longitudinal Cohort of Aging Sexual Minority Men, United States, 2008‒2019
Objectives. To determine whether intersectional stigma is longitudinally associated with biopsychosocial outcomes. Methods. We measured experienced intersectional stigma (EIS; ≥ 2 identity-related attributions) among sexual minority men (SMM) in the United States participating in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study. We assessed longitudinal associations between EIS (2008‒2009) and concurrent and future hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, antiretr…
Links Between Inflammation, Mood, and Physical Function Among Older Adults With HIV
Novel approaches are needed to manage comorbidities and maximize quality of life among older PLWH. Illustrating key expected biopsychosocial links, our findings highlight several factors (e.g., depressive symptoms, poorer physical function) that may share bidirectional relationships with chronic inflammation, a key factor driving morbidity. These links may be leveraged to modify factors that drive excessive health risk among older PLWH
Psychological Connection to the Gay Community and Negative Self-Appraisals in Middle-Aged and Older Men Who Have Sex With Men
Connection to the gay community may be a source of resilience for aging MSM by lessening negative self-appraisals and promoting strategies that address body image dissatisfaction and self-perceptions of aging. Interventions facilitating connections to the gay community may support healthy aging in this population
HIV Stigma and Older Men’s Psychological Well-Being
HIV stigma's negative relationship with PWB was salient in both groups. Spirituality's buffer between HIV stigma and PWB was stronger in older gay/bisexual MWH compared to their heterosexual counterparts. With respect to HIV stigma, older gay/bisexual MWH exhibited a "crisis competence" in coping with stigma, perhaps through overcoming past homophobia related to their sexual minority status (i.e., homophobia)
Developmental regulation with progressive vision loss
The present study addresses older adults' developmental regulation when faced with progressive and irreversible vision loss. We used the motivational theory of life span development as a conceptual framework and examined changes in older adults' striving for control over everyday goal achievement, and their association with affective well-being, in a sample of 364 older adults diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration. Using longitudinal da…

Social Care Networks and Older LGBT Adults
Research on service needs among older adults rarely addresses the special circumstances of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals, such as their reliance on friend-centered social networks or the experience of discrimination from service providers. Limited data suggests that older LGBT adults underutilize health and social services that are important in maintaining independence and quality of life. This study explored the soci…
Service Utilization Among Older Adults With HIV
This study examines the association of sexual identity and gender among older clients with HIV at an AIDS service organization using the Andersen Model. Data confirm those aging with HIV exhibit high rates of age-associated illnesses 10 to 20 years before expected. They have fragile social networks that cannot supply the informal supports needed. This aging population will need to increasingly access community-based services. Sexual identity and …
“I'm Created in God's Image, and God Don't Create Junk”
There is an emerging literature on the integration of sexual and religious identities among gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) adults. However, this work has not assessed the experiences of GLBT adults 50 and older, whose life course issues and social care needs are different than younger members of this population. Using qualitative methods, we explored the religious engagement of 210 older GLBT adults, and examined the support recei…

HIV and Aging
HIV risk behaviors, susceptibility to HIV acquisition, progression of disease after infection, and response to antiretroviral therapy all vary by age. In those living with HIV, current effective treatment has increased the median life expectancy to >70 years of age. Biologic, medical, individual, social, and societal issues change as one ages with HIV infection, but there has been only a small amount of research in this field. Therefore, the Offi…
Older Women Caring for Older Women
As our population ages, the need for personal assistance services increases. Paid personal care is predominantly provided by women, often older women, and has been considered low-status, low-wage work. This article reports on a mixed-method, longitudinal study of 261 home care aides; study participants were 46 years old, on average. Predictors of termination included younger age and lack of health insurance. Study participants reported more rewar…
