A Narrative Review of Remote Biospecimen Collection Product and Implementation Considerations for Sexual Health Clinical Research
Open AccessKeith J Horvath, Sarah E Rutstein et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2026
Remote biospecimen collection (RBSC), such as home-based HIV testing and self-collection of dried blood spots (DBS) to assess adherence to antiretroviral drug regimens, has become an important tool to support clinical research because it can facilitate participant reach, lower participant burden, and reduce discomfort with attending research visits in clinic spaces. RBSC is common in sexual health clinical intervention trials to assess the impact…

Open AccessStephanie A Meyers‐Pantele, Stephanie A Meyers-Pantele et al.ARTICLEStigma and Health2026
In 2025, gendered inequities in HIV risk and harm remain for women who use drugs (WWUD). WWUD also have low levels of HIV prevention service engagement and likely experience intersectional stigma. The present study sought to explore WWUD's experiences with intersectional stigma and how those experiences shape HIV prevention service use to better inform the development of tailored intervention efforts. Individual in-depth interviews were conducted…

Electronic Dose Monitoring Feedback (EMF) with Youth Living with HIV
Open AccessEamonn McGonigle, Megan Mueller Johnson et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2025
Electronic dose monitoring with feedback (EMF) offers an opportunity to visualize daily dosing behaviors that can otherwise be difficult to appreciate. Visual displays, including early, on-time, late, or missed doses over time, can foster insights around patterns of dosing. Reactions to seeing these patterns among youth with HIV (YWH) who struggle with adherence are important to consider with EMF. YWH (ages 14-25) participating in the ATN152 TERA…

Gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) and medically necessary surgical interventions (MNSI) play vital roles in helping transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals align their bodies with their gender identity. However, research in this area has primarily focused on TGD adults, leaving TGD youth and young adults (TGD-YYA)'s experiences understudied. Even less is known about demographic and psychosocial correlates of hormone and MNSI utiliz…

Junye Ma, Dafna Paltin et al.ARTICLEJournal of Homosexuality2025Citada por: 1Referencias: 58
Although the use of geosocial networking (GSN) applications for relationship seeking is prevalent among sexual minority men (SMM), SMM of color may be vulnerable to sexual racism online. Little is known about how sexual racism relates to SMM of color's identity outness, which is integral to the minority stress model and the focus of this study. Eighty SMM, recruited through social media (53.7% racial/ethnic minority), reported their experiences o…

Open AccessHyunmin Yu, Jennifer T Tran et al.ARTICLEYouth & Society2025Referencias: 57
Internalized homophobia (IH) negatively impacts the mental health of adolescent sexual minority men (ASMM), while self-esteem is posited to bolster their mental health. In a repeated-measures study with 599 ASMM (Mean age = 16.2 [ SD = 1.3]; 75.6% racial and ethnic minorities), longitudinal structural equation models investigated the relationships among IH, self-esteem, and mental health (depression and anxiety), as well as the mediating role of …
Emotion regulation as a potential moderator of the association between HIV stigma and nonadherence to antiretroviral therapy among youth living with HIV
Open AccessJohn Mark Wiginton, K Rivet Amico et al.ARTICLEJournal of Adolescence2024
INTRODUCTION: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related stigma affects adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) for youth living with HIV. Emotion regulation strategies such as cognitive reappraisal (reinterpreting adversity to mitigate emotional impact) and expressive suppression (inhibiting emotion-expressive behavior activated by adversity) may moderate the HIV stigma-ART adherence relationship in this group. METHODS: Using baseline data fro…

Syndemic Psychosocial Conditions among Youth Living with HIV
Open AccessJohn Mark Wiginton, K Rivet Amico et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2024
Drug use, mental distress, and other psychosocial factors threaten HIV care for youth living with HIV (YLWH). We aimed to identify syndemic psychosocial patterns among YLWH and examine how such patterns shape HIV outcomes. Using baseline data from 208 YLWH enrolled in an HIV treatment adherence intervention, we performed latent class analysis on dichotomized responses to 9 psychosocial indicators (enacted HIV stigma; clinical depression and anxie…

Among N = 230 transgender and gender-diverse young adults, surveyed between October 2020 an…

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence is suboptimal among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM). Online interventions that incorporate social support represent new opportunities to improve adherence. This study focused on how social support was provided and sought within a technology-based ART adherence intervention. We coded and analyzed 1,751 messages. Within the social support messages, half of the time participants sough…

Open AccessKimberly Bonner, Sandra Chyderiotis et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2023
Seasonal influenza vaccination rates remain low, and contribute to preventable influenza cases, hospitalizations, and deaths in the US. While numerous interventions have been implemented to increase vaccine uptake, there is a need to determine which interventions contribute most to vaccine willingness, particularly among age groups with vaccination rates that have plateaued at suboptimal levels. This study aimed to quantify the relative effect of…
