Awareness and perceived risk of type 2 diabetes among older adults with HIV
Older people with HIV (OPWH) have an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Understanding this is important to screen and initiate treatments. This study explored awareness of T2DM, perceived risk, and willingness to receive T2DM preventive education. OPWH were recruited from an academic health center in Chicago, Illinois between November 2022 and January 2023. Staff used interview guides for qualitative data collection and administer…
Adolescents’ and young women’s perspectives on participation in biomedical clinical trials for HIV prevention in Tanzania and India
Adolescent girls and young women are disproportionately affected by HIV in many lower-resource settings. These individuals are often excluded from early clinical trials for new HIV prevention products, thus delaying potential access. We explored adolescent girls' and young women's (AGYW) perceptions of HIV risk, perspectives on trial participation, and understanding of research concepts. Individual or repeated in-depth interviews were conducted w…
Optimizing Telehealth Services
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic increased telehealth services in federally funded community health centers (CHCs). Yet little is known about common determinants of use among CHC patients. OBJECTIVE: We examined the use of telehealth among patient participants at 1 large CHC network providing care to underserved populations at urban and suburban sites in the Midwest. METHODS: We conducted a mixed-methods study utilizing a sequential explanatory …
Predictors of HIV Testing among Orphaned Youths in Three East African Countries
Stakeholder acceptability of adolescent participation in clinical trials for biomedical HIV prevention products
Researchers and advocates have increasingly called for adolescent participation in clinical trials for new HIV prevention products, particularly adolescent girls in areas most affected by the epidemic. However, recent trials have highlighted the challenges for young women and adolescents to be able to effectively use new products that require daily dosing. This analysis provides a highly relevant context for this challenging environment by examin…
The Role of Financial Incentives Along the Antiretroviral Therapy Adherence Continuum
The stages of change (SOC) theory suggests individuals adapt incrementally to behaviors like adherence, requiring different strategies over the behavior change continuum. Offering financial incentives (FIs) is one strategy to motivate adherence. This qualitative sub-study examined adherence barriers and the role of FIs to increase viral suppression (VS) among HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) 065 study participants categorized into SOC-related…
Intimate partner violence against female sex workers in Mombasa, Kenya
Female sex workers are known to be at risk of intimate partner violence (IPV) from numerous sources including clients, pimps, boyfriends and husbands. Better understanding the factors associated with IPV in this population will enhance prevention efforts. This work examines baseline survey data collected as part of a randomised controlled trial for an alcohol-harm reduction intervention. The study sample included 619 sex workers. IPV was common i…
