Effect of depressive symptoms on health services utilization in the HIV and hepatitis C co-infected population in Canada
Open AccessGayatri Marathe, Erica E M Moodie et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2025
Depression is common among people living with HCV and HIV, which contributes to health services utilization (HSU). It is unknown whether successful HCV treatment affects this. We examined depressive symptoms and HSU in people co-infected with HIV-HCV and their association with sustained virologic response (SVR) during the direct-acting antiviral era. We predicted depressive symptoms by a random forest classifier in the Canadian Co-infection Cohor…
Perceptions about hepatitis C and barriers and enablers to screening and treatment among Egyptian immigrants to Canada
Open AccessSameh Mortazhejri, Isabella M Thomas et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2025
There is an urgent need to improve access to care for immigrants from endemic countries to eliminate HCV in Canada. We took a systematic, theory-informed approach to understand lived experiences and views among Egyptian immigrants in Canada. We identified key factors contributing to the low uptake of HCV screening and treatment. These findings will inform a theory-based intervention to optimize HCV care in immigrant communities

Successes and challenges of best practice alerts to identify and engage individuals living with hepatitis C virus
Open AccessSaniya Tandon, Roselyn Castaneda et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024
Introduction: Many individuals living with hepatitis C virus (HCV) are unaware of their diagnosis and/or have not been linked to programs providing HCV care. The use of electronic medical record (EMR) systems may assist with HCV infection identification and linkage to care. Methods: In October 2021, we implemented HCV serology-focused best practice alerts (BPAs) at The Ottawa Hospital (TOH) via our EMR (EPIC). Our BPAs were programmed to identify…
Clinical and serological predictors of post Covid-19 condition–findings from a Canadian prospective cohort study
Open AccessErin Collins, Yannick Galipeau et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024
Introduction More than 3 years into the pandemic, there is persisting uncertainty as to the etiology, biomarkers, and risk factors of Post COVID-19 Condition (PCC). Serological research data remain a largely untapped resource. Few studies have investigated the potential relationships between post-acute serology and PCC, while accounting for clinical covariates. Methods We compared clinical and serological predictors among COVID-19 survivors with …
Recent Vaccination Against Sars-CoV-2 Is Associated with Less Severe Disease in Working-Age Adults
Open AccessKailey Fischer, Joanne M Langley et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2024
Staying current with COVID-19 vaccinations should continue to be recommended since receiving a recent immunization lessened the severity of illness. Also, as symptoms of COVID-19 are now largely similar to other respiratory viruses, practitioners need to use this evidence to inform diagnostic testing and return-to-work policies

Continuous false positive results by Sars-CoV-2 rapid antigen testing
Open AccessYannick Galipeau, Abishek Xavier et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023
Efficient and rapid identification of active SARS-CoV-2 infections has been key to monitoring and mitigating the spread of the virus. The implementation of nucleic acid testing (e.g., RT-PCR) was broadly adopted by most public health organizations at the national and community levels across the globe, which was followed by more accessible means of home testing including lateral flow immunochromatographic assay (LFA), also known as a rapid antigen…
Understanding Covid-19 Vaccine Confidence in People Living with HIV
Open AccessCecilia T Costiniuk, Joel Singer et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2023
Understanding the roots of Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy in at-risk groups, such as persons living with HIV (PLWH), is of utmost importance. We developed a modified Vaccine Hesitancy Scale (VHS) questionnaire using items from the National Advisory Committee on Immunization Acceptability Matrix. To examine factors associated with receiving COVID-19 vaccine and the link between vaccine attitudes and beliefs with vaccine behavior, PLWH were recruited v…

Tobacco smoking and HIV-related immunologic and virologic response among individuals of the Canadian HIV Observational Cohort (Canoc)
Alison R McClean, Katherine W Kooij et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2022
We assessed the relationship between tobacco smoking and immunologic and virologic response among people living with HIV (PLWH) initiating combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) in the Canadian HIV Observational Cohort (CANOC). Positive immunologic and virologic response, respectively, were defined as ≥50 cells/mm3 CD4 count increase (CD4+) and viral suppression ≤50 copies/mL (VL+) within 6 months of cART initiation. Using multinomial regressi…
Influence of previous experience with and beliefs regarding anal cancer screening on willingness to be screened among men living with HIV
Open AccessJennifer Gillis, Jennifer L Gillis et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022
Men generally had positive beliefs and were willing to undergo screening, though there were differences by sexual orientation and racial identity. Tailored community-led initiatives could focus on men's understanding of their risk and expectations of anal cancer screening to facilitate participation
Gaps in hepatitis C virus prevention and care for HIV-hepatitis C virus co-infected people who inject drugs in Canada
Open AccessCharlotte Lanièce Delaunay, Mathieu Maheu-Giroux et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Drug…2022
HCV treatment uptake and outcomes have improved among HIV-HCV coinfected PWID. Yet, this population remains exposed to drug-related harms, highlighting the need to tie HCV elimination strategies with enhanced harm reduction programs to improve overall health for this population
Hepatitis C virus infection characteristics and treatment outcomes in Canadian immigrants
Open AccessCurtis Cooper, Daniel Read et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020
A diverse immigrant population is engaging care in Canada, initiating HCV antiviral therapy in an equitable fashion and achieving SVR proportions similar to Canada-born patients. Our Canadian experience may be of value in informing HCV elimination efforts in economically developed regions

An HIV-tailored quit-smoking counselling pilot intervention targeting depressive symptoms plus Nicotine Replacement Therapy
Louise Balfour, Stephanie A Wiebe et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2017
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) rates among people living with HIV/AIDS (PHAs) are high. Rates of cigarette smoking, a leading contributor to CVD among PHAs, are 40-70% (2-3 times higher than the general population). Furthermore, PHAs have high rates of depression (40-60%), a risk factor for smoking cessation relapse. The current pilot study examined the effectiveness of a specifically tailored 5-session smoking cessation counselling programme for P…
Burden and risk factors for gastrointestinal symptom distress in HIV patients in the modern antiretroviral era
Tyler J O’Neill, Janet Raboud et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2017
In the modern antiretroviral (ARV) era, there is limited knowledge about the prevalence and risk factors for HIV patient-reported gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms (diarrhoea/soft stool, nausea/vomiting, bloating/painful abdomen, loss of appetite, and weight loss/wasting) and distress. We prospectively analysed data (2007-2014) on distressing GI symptoms from the Ontario HIV Treatment Network Cohort Study, which follows people attending HIV clinics.…
Social determinants of health and retention in HIV care in a clinical cohort in Ontario, Canada
Beth Rachlis, Ann N Burchell et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2017
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…
