Factors associated with use of HIV primary care among persons recently diagnosed with HIV
The delay between testing positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and entering medical care can be better understood by identifying variables associated with use of HIV primary care among persons recently diagnosed with the virus. We report findings from 270 HIV-positive persons enrolled in the Antiretroviral Treatment Access Study (ARTAS). 74% had not seen an HIV care provider before enrollment; 26% had one prior visit only. Based on And…
Communication of HIV viral load to guide sexual risk decisions with serodiscordant partners among San Francisco men who have sex with men
The objective of this study was to estimate frequency and correlates of discussing HIV viral load (VL) with serodiscordant sex partners to guide decisions about sexual activities among men who have sex with men (MSM). We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 573 San Francisco MSM. Among 507 who knew their HIV status, 397 (78%) were familiar with the term 'viral load', and half (n=199) had a serodiscordant partner in the prior year. These 199 resp…
Serostatus disclosure, sexual communication and safer sex in HIV-positive men
This study assessed HIV-positive men's sexual behaviours with partners at risk for infection, and examined the extent to which safer sex was associated with interpersonal communication variables, namely, (1). disclosure of one's seropositive status and (2). specific communication with partners about safer-sex practices. A total of 105 HIV-positive men (43% homosexual, 38% bisexual, 19% heterosexual), randomly sampled at an HIV outpatient clinic i…

Is acculturation associated with sexual risk behaviours? An investigation of HIV-positive Latino men and women
This cross-sectional study of 226 HIV-positive Latino men and women sampled and assessed at an outpatient HIV clinic in Los Angeles examined the associations among acculturation, use of a substance before sex, and unsafe sexual behaviour. As acculturation increased, men and women were increasingly likely to have engaged in unsafe sex in the most recent sexual encounter since testing seropositive. In men, the association was partially mediated by …

Disclosing HIV status and sexual orientation to employers
Seropositive gay and bisexual men who reveal their sexual orientation or HIV/AIDS status to their employer risk discriminatory reprisals. However, non-disclosure may limit potential social, emotional, and tangible support. Among our sample of 389 seropositive gay and bisexual men employed in the US, 52% were 'out' to their employer and 35% had disclosed their serostatus to him or her. Among gay men, employer awareness of their sexual orientation …

Self-disclosure of HIV infection to sexual partners
Self-disclosure of HIV infection to current sexual partners was examined in 138 seropositive men, mostly lower income Hispanics, from Los Angeles. Forty-five percent had been sexually active since learning their serostatus. Of these, 52% had kept their infection secret from one or more partners. The likelihood of disclosure decreased in direct proportion to the number of partners. Nondisclosure occurred in conjunction with unprotected receptive a…
Health risk behaviors of Hispanics in the United States
With data from the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (HHANES), we examined several health risk behaviors (cigarette smoking, alcohol use, dietary practices, and recency of health screening) of Mexican American, Cuban American, and Puerto Rican adults (ages 20-74). For each sample, a greater percentage of men than women smoked cigarettes and used alcohol. Heavy smoking (20+ cigarettes per day) was most prevalent for Cuban American m…
Health behavior of elderly Hispanic women
The role of cultural assimilation in Hispanic health behavior has received little empirical examination. Prior studies have operationalized assimilation primarily in terms of language preference and have obtained weak or no effects. We interviewed 603 elderly Hispanic women residing in Los Angeles to evaluate the usefulness of cultural factors as predictors of preventive health behavior (e.g., physical examination, screening for breast cancer) mo…
