  • Help-Seeking to Cope With Experiences of Violence Among Women Living With HIV in Canada

    Open AccessRebecca Gormley, Valerie Nicholson et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2021Referencias: 4

    Using baseline data from a community-collaborative cohort of women living with HIV in Canada, we assessed the prevalence and correlates of help-seeking among 1,057 women who reported experiencing violence in adulthood (≥16 years). After violence, 447 (42%) sought help, while 610 (58%) did not. Frequently accessed supports included health care providers ( n = 313, 70%), family/friends ( n = 244, 55%), and non-HIV community organizations ( n = 235,…

  • Association between depressive symptoms, CD4 count and HIV viral suppression among HIV-HCV co-infected people

    Wusiman Aibibula, Joseph Cox et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2018

    Depressive symptoms are associated with poor HIV viral control and immune recovery among people living with HIV. However, no prior studies assessed this association exclusively among people co-infected with HIV-hepatitis C virus (HCV). While people with HIV only and those with HIV-HCV co-infection share many characteristics, co-infected people may become more susceptible to the effects of depressive symptoms on health outcomes. We assessed this a…

  • Injection drug use, food insecurity, and HIV-HCV co-infection

    Taylor Mclinden, Erica E M Moodie et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2018

    Injection drug use (IDU) and food insecurity (FI) are highly prevalent among individuals living with HIV-hepatitis C virus (HCV) co-infection. We quantified the association between IDU and FI among co-infected individuals using biannual data from the Canadian Co-infection Cohort (N = 608, 2012-2015). IDU (in the past six months) and IDU frequency (non-weekly/weekly in the past month) were self-reported. FI (in the past six months) and FI severity…

  • Prevalence and predictors of food insecurity among people living with HIV affiliated with Aids service organizations in Ontario, Canada

    Tsegaye Bekele, Jason Globerman et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2018

    Up to half of people living with HIV in resource-rich settings experience moderate to severe food insecurity. Food insecurity, in turn, has been linked to adverse health outcomes including poor antiretroviral adherence, poor HIV viral suppression, frailty, and mortality. We estimated the prevalence of food insecurity among 649 adults living with HIV and recruited from community-based AIDS service organizations in Ontario, Canada. Food security wa…

  • Harder-to-reach people living with HIV experiencing high prevalence of all-type mental health disorder diagnosis

    Kate Salters, Kate A Salters et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2017

    People living with HIV/AIDS (PHA) often concurrently cope with mental health disorders that may greatly influence HIV and other health-related outcomes. The objective of this study was to examine the prevalence and correlates of self-reported mental health disorder diagnosis among a cohort of harder-to-reach HIV-positive individuals in British Columbia, Canada. Between 2007 and 2010, 1000 PHA who had initiated ART were enrolled in the Longitudina…

  • Food Insecurity in HIV-Hepatitis C Virus Co-infected Individuals in Canada

    Open AccessCanadian Co-infection Cohort Investigators, Joseph Cox et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2016

    While research has begun addressing food insecurity (FI) in HIV-positive populations, knowledge regarding FI among individuals living with HIV-hepatitis C virus (HCV) co-infection is limited. This exploratory study examines sociodemographic, socioeconomic, behavioral, and clinical factors associated with FI in a cohort of HIV-HCV co-infected individuals in Canada. We analyzed longitudinal data from the Food Security and HIV-HCV Co-infection Study…

  • Relationship between hunger, adherence to antiretroviral therapy and plasma HIV RNA suppression among HIV-positive illicit drug users in a Canadian setting

    Aranka Anema, Thomas Kerr et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2014

    Food insecurity may be a barrier to achieving optimal HIV treatment-related outcomes among illicit drug users. This study therefore, aimed to assess the impact of severe food insecurity, or hunger, on plasma HIV RNA suppression among illicit drug users receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). A cross-sectional Multivariate logistic regression model was used to assess the potential relationship between hunger and plasma HIV RNA suppression. A sampl…
