Contributions of Qualitative Methods to Real-Time Implementation Strategy Design
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) exemplifies a medical advance that is highly efficacious in reducing an individual’s risk of acquiring HIV. However, the use of PrEP remains considerably suboptimal in communities that could benefit from it most, especially in the southern United States where HIV infection rates are highest. We conducted a study using both qualitative methods and implementation science to develop and deploy a multicomponent impleme…
A qualitative examination of barriers and facilitators to HIV prevention and treatment for people involved with the criminal justice system
BACKGROUND: In an effort to address health risks for HIV among justice-involved individuals, linkage to community services for HIV and substance use disorder prevention and treatment is critical. Stakeholder feedback informing the development of interventions aimed at linking individuals to care is paramount to ensuring the success of the intervention. The current study examines focus group data collected as part of a 5-year NIDA-funded project a…
Ongoing crisis across the HIV care continuum
We present a retrospective study of people with HIV (PWH) admitted to the medical intensive care unit (MICU) of an 862-bed academic, safety-net hospital. We aimed to determine the characteristics of ICU admissions among PWH, measure the mortality in this population and identify predictors of mortality. All patients ≥ 18 years old with a diagnosis of HIV infection admitted to the MICU between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2019 were included. A …
Did Covid-19 Slow Our Progress Toward Ending the HIV Epidemic
The role of community health workers in re-entry of people with HIV and substance use disorder released from jail
BACKGROUND: Incarcerated individuals face high rates of mental illness, substance use disorders and communicable diseases including HIV, with increased health complications and mortality in the early post-release period. Multiple re-entry interventions linking justice-involved individuals to community resources via peer navigation have emerged, though limited data exist on the mechanics and personal impact of these approaches. This paper quantifi…

The risk of depression among racially diverse people living with HIV
Understanding the correlates of depression in HIV patients can help identify groups whose members are at increased risk for depression. We conducted a cross-sectional retrospective study among racially diverse, indigent patients living with HIV (PLWH) who were obtaining care in an urban safety-net hospital system and had completed a Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) in 2014 or 2015. We collected demographics, HIV risk factors, HIV viral load…
Linking criminal justice-involved individuals to HIV, Hepatitis C, and opioid use disorder prevention and treatment services upon release to the community
Emergency department utilization by people living with HIV released from jail in the US South
HIV care cascade before and after hospitalization
Hospitalization represents a unique opportunity to re-engage out-of-care individuals, improve HIV outcomes and reduce health disparities. Electronic health records of HIV-positive individuals hospitalized at an urban, public hospital between September 2013 and December 2015 were reviewed. In October 2014, a multidisciplinary HIV consult team (HIV specialist, case manager, and transitional care nurse (TCN)) was implemented. Engagement in care, ret…
U.S. Hospitalization rates and reasons stratified by age among persons with HIV 2014–15
Persons with HIV (PWH) are aging. The impact of aging on healthcare utilization is unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate hospitalization rates and reasons stratified by age among PWH in longitudinal HIV care. Hospitalization data from 2014-2015 was obtained on all adults receiving HIV care at 14 diverse sites within the HIV Research Network in the United States. Modified clinical classification software from the Agency for Healthca…

Patterns of Substance Use and Arrest Histories Among Hospitalized HIV Drug Users
HIV Care After Jail
The HIV Care Cascade Before, During, and After Incarceration
We conducted a systematic literature review of the data on HIV testing, engagement in care, and treatment in incarcerated persons, and estimated the care cascade in this group. We identified 2706 titles in MEDLINE, EBSCO, and Cochrane Library databases for studies indexed to January 13, 2015, and included 92 for analysis. We summarized HIV testing results by type (blinded, opt-out, voluntary); reviewed studies on HIV care engagement, treatment, a…
