“If I have to drive 100 miles, I’ll drive 100 miles to get it”
Alabama depends heavily on Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) funding, yet patient enrollment at one large, RWHAP-funded, academically-affiliated HIV clinic in Alabama has steadily increased each year, with approximately 20% bypassing more proximal RWHAP clinics. To understand reasons why patients travel long distances and bypass closer clinics to receive care, we conducted eight focus groups over Zoom, each containing between 2-3 participants (…
Patient acceptability and usability of a self-administered electronic patient-reported outcome assessment in HIV care
We assessed acceptability/usability of tablet-based patient-reported outcome (PRO) assessments among patients in HIV care, and relationships with health outcomes using a modified Acceptability E-Scale (AES) within a self-administered PRO assessment. Using multivariable linear regression, we measured associations between patient characteristics and continuous combined AES score. Among 786 patients (median age=48; 91% male; 49% white; 17% Spanish-s…
Sensitising medical students towards nurse‐physician collaboration
Racial disparities and factors associated with prescription for smoking cessation medications among smokers receiving routine clinical care for HIV
Factors associated with prescription of smoking cessation medication (SCM), including the impact of race, have not been well described among a large population of people living with HIV (PLWH) engaged in routine clinical care. Our study investigated whether there are racial differences between African-American and White PLWH regarding SCM prescription and sought to identify other factors associated with these prescriptions at a large HIV clinic i…
Predictors of smoking cessation among people living with HIV receiving routine clinical care
People living with HIV (PLWH) have a higher prevalence of smoking and are less likely to quit smoking than the general population. Few studies involving a large sample of PLWH receiving routine care have evaluated factors associated with smoking cessation. This retrospective longitudinal cohort study evaluated factors associated with smoking cessation among PLWH from 2007 to 2018. Of 1,714 PLWH smokers included in the study, 27.6% reported quitti…
Mental health disorders and alcohol use are associated with increased likelihood of smoking relapse among people living with HIV attending routine clinical care
Our study underscores the high prevalence of smoking relapse that exists among PLWH after they quit smoking. Successful engagement in mental health care may enhance efforts to reduce relapse in the underserved populations of PLWH
Not all non-drinkers with HIV are equal
Studies of persons living with HIV (PLWH) have compared current non-drinkers to at-risk drinkers without differentiating whether current non-drinkers had a prior alcohol use disorder (AUD). The purpose of this study was to compare current non-drinkers with and without a prior AUD on demographic and clinical characteristics to understand the impact of combining them. We included data from six sites across the US from 1/2013 to 3/2015. Patients com…
Prevalence and Factors Associated with Hazardous Alcohol Use Among Persons Living with HIV Across the US in the Current Era of Antiretroviral Treatment
Suicidal Ideation is Associated with Limited Engagement in HIV Care
A Pilot Trial Examining African American and White Responses to Algorithm-Guided Smoking Cessation Medication Selection in Persons Living with HIV
Factors Associated with Missed Psychiatry Visits in an Urban HIV Clinic
Body Mass Index, Depression, and Condom Use Among HIV-Infected Men who have Sex with Men
Routine Depression Screening in an HIV Clinic Cohort Identifies Patients with Complex Psychiatric Co-morbidities Who Show Significant Response to Treatment
Evaluation of the Single-Item Self-Rating Adherence Scale for Use in Routine Clinical Care of People Living with HIV
A retrospective study of HIV antiretroviral treatment persistence in a commercially insured population in the United States
This study examined factors associated with persistence (time from initiation to discontinuation of treatment) on initial antiretroviral (ARV) therapy in commercially insured HIV patients in the United States, a population not well researched. This retrospective analysis of US health insurance claims data from 1 January 2003 to 30 June 2008 included treatment-naive patients aged 18-65 years with an HIV diagnosis receiving ARV therapy consisting o…
Migrating from a legacy fixed-format measure to CAT administration
Contemporary profile of oral manifestations of HIV/Aids and associated risk factors in a southeastern US clinic
OM continues to be common despite HAART. General OM and OPC were closely associated with a low baseline CD4 count. Knowledge of risk factors for OM can potentially help clinicians target oral evaluation of HIV-positive individuals
Measuring depression levels in HIV-infected patients as part of routine clinical care using the nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9)
Little is known about the psychometric properties of depression instruments among persons infected with HIV. We analyzed data from a large sample of patients in usual care in two US cities (n=1467) using the nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) from the PRIME-MD. The PHQ-9 had curvilinear scaling properties and varying levels of measurement precision along the continuum of depression measured by the instrument. In our cohort, the scale …
Missed Visits and Mortality among Patients Establishing Initial Outpatient HIV Treatment
BACKGROUND: Dramatic increases in the number of patients requiring linkage to treatment for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are anticipated in response to updated Centers for Disease Control and Prevention HIV testing recommendations that advocate routine, opt-out HIV testing. METHODS: A retrospective analysis nested within a prospective HIV clinical cohort study evaluated patients who established initial outpatient treatment for HIV…
The Therapeutic Implications of Timely Linkage and Early Retention in HIV Care
Following HIV diagnosis, linkage to outpatient treatment, antiretroviral initiation, and longitudinal retention in care represent the foundation for successful treatment. While prior studies have evaluated these processes in isolation, a systematic evaluation of successive steps in the same cohort of patients has not yet been performed. To ensure optimal long-term outcomes, a better understanding of the interplay of these processes is needed. The…
