Depressive symptoms mediate the association between loneliness and cognitive performance in women living with HIV
Loneliness is a risk factor for cognitive impairment, yet, its role in domain-specific cognitive performance and underlying mechanisms remain understudied in women living with HIV (WLWH). To assess whether depressive symptoms mediate associations between loneliness and global and domain-specific cognition, data were analyzed from 1621 WLWH participating in the Women's Interagency HIV Study, a multicenter, observational cohort conducted in the Uni…
Validation of an Extended Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Measure in a Racially and Ethnically Diverse Cohort of People Living with or at Risk for HIV Infection
Despite becoming a routine part of clinical care, collection of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) is not standardized, and common measures might not reflect the full range of LGBTQ+ experiences. In this study, we tested a novel expanded SOGI measure that addresses these concerns in a racially and ethnically diverse HIV cohort study. Participants ( N = 885) were randomized to complete either a common SOGI measure with fewer SOGI choice…
Uptake of HIV Retesting Among Black Populations in Miami-Dade
The Southern United States bears nearly half of all new HIV diagnoses, with Miami-Dade County experiencing one of the highest incidence rates nationwide. Black communities in Miami face disproportionate HIV-related outcomes, yet little is known about repeat HIV testing within these populations. This study examined engagement in HIV retesting through the Community-Based HIV Awareness for Minority Populations (CHAMP) program, a community health wor…
Implementation of State Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Mandatory Checking Requirements and Prescribed Opioid Analgesic Use Among Women With and Without HIV in The Women’s Interagency HIV Study
Neighborhood Violence and Safety
Neighborhood violence and safety concerns are associated with poor health outcomes including HIV acquisition/transmission, and possible lack of viral suppression. Using a cross-sectional analytic design, we determined the prevalence of neighbourhood violence and safety concerns among participants in the MACS WIHS Combined Cohort Study, a large US cohort of men and women with and without HIV. We used multivariable logistic regression to assess fac…
Psychosocial, Behavioral, and HIV-Related Health Among Men Living with HIV Who Have a History of Incarceration
Incarceration is intricately linked with the HIV epidemic, with incarcerated individuals exhibiting HIV prevalence rates three times higher than the general population. We used baseline data from the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS)/Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) Combined Cohort Study (MWCCS) to describe select health outcomes among men living with HIV (MWH) who have never been incarcerated and with a history of lifetime incarceration, …
Attitudes Towards Aging, Depression, Physical Functioning, and Pain Among Women Living with HIV of Reproductive Age
Positive attitudes towards aging (ATA) are associated with better mental and physical health in the general population and with lower depressive symptoms among men living with HIV. Little is known about ATA among women of reproductive age living with HIV (WWH), who often experience premature aging, depression, and chronic pain. This study examined the association of ATA with HIV, physical functioning, and pain among women 19-45 years-of-age. From…
Trends in Alcohol Use Before and During the Covid-19 Pandemic Among Women Living With and Without HIV in the United States (2017–2022)
Data on alcohol use trends in women living with HIV (WLWH) are lacking. We examine data collected before and across the COVID-19 pandemic (2014-2022) in WLWH and socio-demographically similar women living without HIV (WLWOH)(n = 1564; 67% WLWH) who self-reported alcohol use to establish and compare trends. Women were categorized into baseline groups based on use pattern from 10/2014 to 09/2017: abstinence (no alcohol at any visit), non-heavy drin…
Patterns of Cannabis Use among Women With HIV in the United States
Factors influencing neonatal male circumcision uptake among expecting couples in Zambia
Male circumcision is a protective HIV prevention strategy. However, uncircumcised Zambian men are reluctant to undergo voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC). Tailored interventions are necessary to stimulate the uptake of early infant male circumcision (EIMC) and VMMC in Zambia. This feasibility study presents the formative process of utilising the PRECEDE framework in the development of a family-centred EIMC/VMMC intervention, Like Father L…
Early Infant Male Circumcision Decisions in Zambia
Public health initiatives in Zambia encourage the uptake of early infant male circumcision (EIMC) as an HIV prevention strategy. This study assessed EIMC parental decision-making during perinatal care in Lusaka, Zambia, focusing on the influence of sociodemographic factors, family, and friends. A longitudinal pilot perinatal intervention, Like Father Like Son (LFLS), was implemented among 300 couples attending antenatal clinics in four urban comm…

Male Partner Involvement and Development of HIV-exposed Infants in Rural South Africa
Male partner involvement (MPI) during the prenatal and postnatal periods has been proven to have a beneficial effect on infant development. Infants born to HIV seropositive mothers with lacking or no prenatal and postnatal male partner support may be at a higher risk for adverse developmental outcomes. This study examined the effect of MPI on cognitive, communicative, fine, and gross motor development in 160 infants born to HIV seropositive mothe…
Factor structure of a male involvement index to increase the effectiveness of prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission (PMTCT) programs
Male involvement in the prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) during pregnancy is encouraged, but the accuracy of its measurement has not been established. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to establish the factor structure of an index of male involvement in PMTCT. Using a structured questionnaire, 1369 HIV positive pregnant women and 522 male partners were recruited in rural Mpumalanga, South Africa. A principal c…
Development, implementation and dissemination
Over a million people are living with HIV in Zambia, representing ∼13% of the country’s population. To increase HIV prevention communication, a community-based communication training program, the Parent–Child and Couples Communication Workshop, was developed from pilot data and culturally tailored for dissemination in Zambia. Workshop trainees (N = 195) were 18 years of age or more and community educators and counselors in the Copperbelt and Sout…
The Size of the Homeless Men Population of Sydney
An attempt is made to determine the size of the population which uses the facilities for homeless men in Sydney. The distribution in age groupings of homeless men in Sydney is shown to be quite different from that of the general male population of New South Wales, and the extreme mobility of members of this population is again noted

HIV knowledge, disclosure and sexual risk among pregnant women and their partners in rural South Africa
Partner involvement has been deemed fundamental for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV, although it remains difficult to achieve. This study aimed to explore the attitudes and behaviours of pregnant women and their partners who participated in a behavioural risk reduction intervention in six community health centres in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa. Qualitative methods only were used in this study. Women and t…
Sexual risk reduction among Zambian couples
Zambia has over 1 million HIV infections nationwide and an urban prevalence rate of 23%. This study compared the impact of male involvement in multiple and single session risk reduction interventions among inconsistent condom users in Zambia and the role of serostatus among HIV-seropositive and serodiscordant couples. Couples (N=392) were randomised into intervention arms. Among inconsistent condom users at baseline (N=83), condom use increased i…

Efficacy of a Group Medication Adherence Intervention Among HIV Positive Women
The effects of low literacy and cognitive impairment on medication adherence in HIV-positive injecting drug users
Low literacy and cognitive impairment have each been separately identified as risks for non-adherence in HIV infection. However, no studies to date have evaluated these skill deficits in combination. We therefore characterized the nature of literacy and cognitive skills in a sample of HIV-positive injecting drug users and assessed their combined effects on adherence. A community-recruited sample of 57 HIV-positive injecting drug users completed t…

Sexual risk reduction among Zambian couples
Zambia has over 1 million HIV infections nationwide and an urban prevalence rate of 23%. This study compared the impact of male involvement in multiple and single session risk reduction interventions among inconsistent condom users in Zambia and the role of serostatus among HIV-seropositive and serodiscordant couples. Couples (N=392) were randomised into intervention arms. Among inconsistent condom users at baseline (N=83), condom use increased i…
Self-efficacy and distress in women with Aids
Though African American and Hispanic women accounted for 14% of the female population in the USA, they represented 66% of the total HIV/AIDS diagnoses among women in 2007. Among men living with HIV, increased coping self-efficacy (SE) following a cognitive behavioral intervention has been related to decreased distress, anxiety, anger, and confusion, but comparable studies had not been carried out with HIV+ women. The purpose of this study was to …
Mental health in HIV seronegative and seropositive IDUs in South Florida
About one-third of HIV-infected people in the USA have a history of injection-drug use. Injecting drugs are a primary vector for HIV transmission. Drug and alcohol use are significant contributors to sexual transmission of the virus. In South Florida, urban injection-drug users (IDUs) represent a substantial population at risk for infection. Substance use management in this group is critical. As part of a larger study of at-risk populations in So…

HIV disclosure, sexual negotiation and male involvement in prevention-of-mother-to-child-transmission in South Africa
HIV-seroconversion during pregnancy is a serious concern throughout South Africa, where an estimated 35 to 40% of pregnant women have HIV/AIDS and drop-out is high at all stages of the prevention-of-mother-to-child-transmission (PMTCT) process. The likelihood of PMTCT success may be linked to partner support, yet male involvement in antenatal care remains low. This qualitative study examined the influence of pregnant couples' expectations, experi…

Desire for fertility among HIV-seroconcordant and -discordant couples in Lusaka, Zambia
Pregnancy rates and the desire to conceive are increasing among women living with HIV in Africa. However, attempts to conceive may increase the risk of HIV transmission or reinfection. A better understanding of factors influencing fertility desires would significantly contribute to programmes to meet the reproductive needs of women living with HIV. Using a couples-based approach, this paper explored fertility desires among HIV-seroconcordant and …

Providers’ perspectives on preconception counseling and safer conception for HIV-infected women
INTRODUCTION: Unplanned pregnancy among HIV-infected women can have negative health consequences for women, partners, and neonates. Despite recommendations, preconception counseling (PCC) appears to be infrequently addressed in HIV care. This study explored knowledge, attitudes, and practices among health-care providers regarding PCC, safer conception and pregnancy among HIV-infected women. METHODS: Physicians, physician assistants, and nurse pra…
Implementation and uptake of the Conexiones y Opciones en la Argentina intervention
Challenging HIV-infected patients, those neither adherent nor actively engaged in care, represent an important opportunity for intervention if the HIV epidemic is to be contained. This pilot study assessed the feasibility and acceptability of an adapted patient adherence intervention and a motivational interview-based provider intervention in urban Buenos Aires, Argentina, in order to optimize health benefits in challenging HIV-infected patients.…
Intimate partner violence among HIV positive pregnant women in South Africa
The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) and associated factors among pregnant HIV-infected women in primary health care facilities in Nkangala and Gert Sibande districts, Mpumalanga, South Africa. Participants were 673 women who were, on average, 28.39 ± 5.73 years old. Data were collected through Audio Computer Assisted Self Interview (ACASI), and analysed using the IBM Statistical Package for Soci…
Behaviorally and perinatally HIV-infected young women
This study aimed to describe demographic and psychological characteristics among HIV-infected young women, and to identify knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors associated with conception, with the goal of informing interventions or programmatic decisions regarding preconception counseling methods for young women living with HIV. Behaviorally and perinatally HIV-infected young women (n = 34) were conveniently sampled in Miami, Florida. Participants…
Prevalence and psychosocial correlates of suicidal ideation among pregnant women living with HIV in Mpumalanga Province, South Africa
Pregnant women living with HIV (WLHIV) in South Africa (SA) report higher rates of suicidal ideation than those who are HIV uninfected, and antenatal suicidal ideation has been previously associated with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Few studies have attempted to identify correlates and psychosocial predictors of suicidal ideation in this population. In this study, we sought to estimate the prevalence of and identify risk factors for su…
