Using concept mapping to explore the challenges associated with affording and accessing medications among people living with HIV in Ontario, Canada
Antiretroviral medications are expensive, and people living with HIV often experience challenges accessing and paying for medication due to various obstacles. We used concept mapping to explore the challenges people living with HIV in Ontario, Canada, face when accessing medication. In brainstorming, 68 participants generated 447 statements in response to the focus prompt “Some people living with HIV have trouble getting and paying for prescripti…
Potential use of supervised injection services among people who inject drugs in a remote and mid-size Canadian setting
Our findings suggest that SIS could play a role in addressing the harms of injection drug use in remote and mid-sized settings particularly for those who inject in public, as well as women and those who inject alone, who report higher expected frequency of SIS use. Design preferences of local PWID, in addition to differences according to gender should be taken into consideration to maximize the uptake of SIS, alongside existing health and social …

Social determinants of health and retention in HIV care in a clinical cohort in Ontario, Canada
Continuous HIV care supports antiretroviral therapy initiation and adherence, and prolongs survival. We investigated the association of social determinants of health (SDH) and subsequent retention in HIV care in a clinical cohort in Ontario, Canada. The Ontario HIV Treatment Network Cohort Study is a multi-site cohort of patients at 10 HIV clinics. Data were collected from medical charts, interviews, and via record linkage with the provincial pub…
Improving Engagement in the HIV Care Cascade
Identifying common barriers and facilitators to linkage and retention in chronic disease care in western Kenya
Our findings provide insight into the individual as well as broader structural factors that can deter or encourage linkage and retention that are relevant across communicable and non-communicable chronic diseases. The findings of the present study suggest that interventions should consider the logistical aspects of accessing care in addition to predisposing and need factors that may affect an individuals' decision to seek out and remain in approp…
A taxonomy for community-based care programs focused on HIV/Aids prevention, treatment, and care in resource-poor settings
Community-based care (CBC) can increase access to key services for people affected by HIV/AIDS through the mobilization of community interests and resources and their integration with formal health structures. Yet, the lack of a systematic framework for analysis of CBC focused on HIV/AIDS impedes our ability to understand and study CBC programs. We sought to develop taxonomy of CBC programs focused on HIV/AIDS in resource-limited settings in an e…
Migration adversely affects antiretroviral adherence in a population-based cohort of HIV/Aids patients
HIV/Aids in African militaries
The HIV/AIDS pandemic is considered a security threat. Policy-makers have warned of destabilization of militaries due to massive troop deaths. Estimates of the rate of HIV within African militaries have been as high as 90 per cent. We aimed to determine if HIV prevalence within African militaries is higher than their host nation prevalence rates. Using systematic searching and access to United States Department of Defense data, we abstracted data…
Drug and HIV-Related Risk Behaviors After Geographic Migration Among a Cohort of Injection Drug Users
High rates of homelessness among a cohort of street-involved youth
Factors associated with geographic migration among a cohort of injection drug users
Adherence to Haart
Adherence to Antiretroviral Therapy in Sub-Saharan Africa and North America
CONTEXT: Adherence to antiretroviral therapy is a powerful predictor of survival for individuals living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and AIDS. Concerns about incomplete adherence among patients living in poverty have been an important consideration in expanding the access to antiretroviral therapy in sub-Saharan Africa. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate estimates of antiretroviral therapy adherence in sub-Saharan Africa and North America. DATA SO…
Media reporting of tenofovir trials in Cambodia and Cameroon
BACKGROUND: Two planned trials of pre-exposure prophylaxis tenofovir in Cambodia and Cameroon to prevent HIV infection in high-risk populations were closed due to activist pressure on host country governments. The international news media contributed substantially as the primary source of knowledge transfer regarding the trials. We aimed to characterize the nature of reporting, specifically focusing on the issues identified by media reports regar…
