Self-reported and Point-of-Care Biomarkers of Substance Use Measures Among Older Adults with HIV from Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Open AccessKathryn E Lancaster, Melissa A Stockton et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2026
Measuring alcohol and other drug (AOD) use remains challenging in HIV care in low- and middle-income countries, where self-report and point-of-care (POC) urine biomarkers capture different time windows. Among 2,059 people with HIV aged 40 years or older across eight IeDEA clinics (2020 to 2022), we examined what self-reported AOD use (AUDIT, ASSIST) and POC urine tests (uEtG for alcohol; 5-panel drug screen) each capture. Self-report identified m…
High Motivation but Low Access to PrEP
Open AccessChristian Grov, Alexa B D’angelo et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2026
Methamphetamine (meth) use is endemic among sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations and a well-established correlate of HIV acquisition. Less understood are the behavioral, psychosocial, and structural vulnerabilities associated with meth use that may complicate HIV prevention. We examined differences in HIV-related vulnerabilities, perceptions of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) need, and access to PrEP care among SGM people who use meth com…
Lingering sex and age disparities in dolutegravir uptake among adults with HIV
Open AccessEllen Brazier, Matthew L Romo et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026
INTRODUCTION: Since July 2019, the WHO has recommended dolutegravir (DTG)-based regimens as preferred first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) for adults and adolescents living with HIV (DTG-for-All), a reversal of a 2018 safety alert on use of DTG-based regimens by women of reproductive age (WRA). We examined sex and age disparities in DTG uptake before and after DTG-for-All in the International epidemiology Databases to Evaluate AIDS. METHODS: W…

How low-income gay and bisexual men who have sex with men navigate financial challenges to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis use
Open AccessJacob Bleasdale, Alexa D'Angelo et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2026
Gay and bisexual men who have sex with men (GBMSM) are disproportionately vulnerable to HIV. While prevention efforts emphasize the use of HIV PrEP, low uptake has been attributed to socioeconomic inequities. Even with the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force's designation of PrEP as a "Grade A" prevention service, high out-of-pocket costs for PrEP persist. Yet, limited research has examined how these expenses influence PrEP uptake and use among c…
Factors associated with viral load suppression in pregnant and postpartum women living with HIV in Rwanda
Open AccessAthanase Munyaneza, Hae‐young Kim et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025
Introduction: Achieving and maintaining HIV viral load suppression (VLS) in pregnant and postpartum women living with HIV (WLWH) is critical for their health and to prevent mother-to-child transmission. However, data on VLS in this population are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and factors associated with VLS among pregnant and postpartum WLWH in Rwanda within 12 months of enrolling in antenatal care. Methods: An open observa…
Mental health-related help-seeking and the role of HIV care providers
Open AccessAngela M Parcesepe, Kathryn E L Grimes et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025
Mental health disorders are common among people with HIV (PWH), and the overwhelming majority of PWH with mental health disorders do not receive evidence-based mental health care. One promising strategy to increase access to evidence-based mental health care for PWH is to integrate mental health screening and treatment for common mental disorders and unhealthy drinking into HIV care. However, little is known about how PWH view the role of HIV car…
Sars-CoV-2 testing behavior in symptomatic adults in a U.S. national cohort, 2020–2023
Open AccessJenna Sanborn, Saba Qasmieh et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025
Individuals with the greatest risk of SARS-CoV-2 exposure, susceptibility to COVID-19 complications, and barriers to healthcare access were the least likely to test when ill. Public health initiatives should prioritize improving testing uptake among these populations
Gender, mental health symptoms, loss to clinic, and viral non-suppression 6 months after HIV care initiation among a cohort of people with HIV in Cameroon
Open AccessAngela M Parcesepe, Lindsey M Filiatreau et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

Availability of substance use screening and treatment within HIV clinical sites across seven geographic regions within the IeDEA consortium
Open AccessKathryn E Lancaster, Melissa A Stockton et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Drug…2024
Availability of screening and treatment for AUD/SUD in HIV care settings is limited, leaving a substantial gap for integration into ongoing HIV care. A critical understanding is needed of the multilevel implementation factors or feasible implementation strategies for integrating screening and treatment of AUD/SUD into HIV care settings, particularly for resource-constrained regions

Coping Strategies and Symptoms of Mental Health Disorders Among People with HIV Initiating HIV Care in Cameroon
Open AccessAngela M Parcesepe, Lindsey M Filiatreau et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2023
Little is known about the coping strategies used among people with HIV (PWH), especially in sub-Saharan Africa, and the extent to which adaptive or maladaptive coping strategies are associated with symptoms of mental health disorders. We interviewed 426 PWH initiating HIV care in Cameroon and reported the prevalence of adaptive and maladaptive coping strategies, overall and by presence of symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Log binominal r…

Neighborhood cohesion and violence in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and their relationship to stress, depression, and hypertension
Open AccessLily D Yan, Margaret L McNairy et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022
Neighborhood factors have been associated with health outcomes, but this relationship is underexplored in low-income countries like Haiti. We describe perceived neighborhood cohesion and perceived violence using the Neighborhood Collective Efficacy and the City Stress Inventory scores. We hypothesized lower cohesion and higher violence were associated with higher stress, depression, and hypertension. We collected data from a population-based coho…
The relationship between perceived stress and support with blood pressure in urban Haiti
Open AccessLily D Yan, Jessy G Dévieux et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022
Haiti is a low-income country whose population lives under repeated and chronic stress from multiple natural disasters, civil unrest, and extreme poverty. Stress has been associated with cardiovascular (CVD) risk factors including hypertension, and the impact of stress on blood pressure may be moderated by support. The distribution of stress, support, and their association with blood pressure has not been well described in low-income countries. W…

Drew A Westmoreland, Adam W Carrico et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2021
Background: Substance use (SU) and misuse are disproportionately more common among sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals compared to their heterosexual peers. Yet, little is known about regional and demographic differences in use and misuse among SGM. In this study, we investigated regional and demographic differences in SU and misuse in a U.S. national, internet-based cohort (n = 6,280) of men and trans persons who have sex with men. Meth…
Tracing-corrected estimates of disengagement from HIV care and mortality among patients enrolling in HIV care without overt immunosuppression in Tanzania
Olga Tymejczyk, Quynh Vo et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2021
In the era of "test and treat", it is important to understand HIV care outcomes and their determinants in patients presenting to care with early-stage disease. We surveyed 924 adults newly enrolling in HIV care at four clinics in Tanzania before the adoption of universal treatment eligibility, and collected longitudinal clinical data. Participants who defaulted from care were tracked in the community. Cumulative incidence of disengagement from ca…
