Unmet Pet Caregiving Needs are Associated with Depression and Anxiety Symptoms Among People Living with HIV
People living with HIV (PLWH) experience disproportionately high rates of depression and anxiety. Human-animal interactions (HAI), particularly through pet ownership, may provide emotional support and companionship; however, the human-animal bond can be threatened by structural and socioeconomic factors that impede one's ability to meet pets' needs. The current study examined how comfort from pets and unmet pet caregiving needs were associated wi…
“It’s a lifeline”
The use of health technology, such as telehealth and mobile health used to support or deliver health care, is a promising strategy to improve HIV outcomes among people with HIV (PWH) in the rural South. In-depth interviews were conducted with 21 HIV care providers in rural Florida to understand the perspectives and experiences of using health technology to deliver care for PWH. Thematic analysis was applied. Emerging themes were organized under f…
Who could benefit the most from long-acting antiretroviral therapy? perspectives of HIV care providers and people with HIV in Florida
Injectable cabotegravir/rilpivirine (CAB/RPV) is now available, and other long-acting antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens are in development. The present study describes the factors that HIV care providers and people with HIV (PWH) in Florida (a high HIV incidence and prevalence setting) consider when assessing populations of PWH who could benefit from long-acting ART. We conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews with 11 providers (27% n…
Predictors of prior HIV testing and acceptance of a community-based HIV test offer among male bar patrons in northern Tanzania
Community-based HIV testing offers an alternative approach to encourage HIV testing among men in sub-Saharan Africa. In this study, we evaluated a community-based HIV testing strategy targeting male bar patrons in northern Tanzania to assess factors predictive of prior HIV testing and factors predictive of accepting a real-time HIV test offer. Participants completed a detailed survey and were offered HIV testing upon survey completion. Poisson re…
Comorbidity Burden and Health Care Utilization by Substance use Disorder Patterns among People with HIV in Florida
Six-month incidence of hypertension and diabetes among adults with HIV in Tanzania
Data describing the incidence of hypertension and diabetes among people with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa remain sparse. In this study, adults with HIV were enrolled from a public clinic in Moshi, Tanzania (September 2020—March 2021). At enrollment, a survey was administered to collect information on comorbidities and medication use. Each participant’s blood pressure and point-of-care glucose were measured. Baseline hypertension was defined by blood…
Depression and Anxiety Symptoms and Treatment Utilization, and Associated HIV Outcomes among Adults with HIV in Rural Florida
Prevalence and predictors of uncontrolled hypertension, diabetes, and obesity among adults with HIV in northern Tanzania
HIV is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, but there has been less study of cardiovascular comorbidities among people with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa. In a cross-sectional observational study, Tanzanian adults presenting for outpatient HIV care completed a questionnaire and underwent weight, height, blood pressure, and blood glucose measurement. Hypertension was defined by blood pressure ≥140/90 mmHg or self-reported hyperten…
Increasing the Uptake of HIV Testing among Men in Tanzania
Predictors of postpartum HIV care engagement for women enrolled in prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) programs in Tanzania
Prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) is a foundational component of a comprehensive HIV treatment program. In addition to preventing vertical transmission to children, PMTCT is an important catch-point for universal test-and-treat strategies that can reduce community viral load and slow the epidemic. However, systematic reviews suggest that care engagement in PMTCT programs is sub-optimal. This study enrolled a cohort of 200 …
The Burden of Hypertension and Diabetes in an Emergency Department in Northern Tanzania
The burden of hypertension and diabetes in a Tanzanian ED is high, and the ED may serve as an opportune location for case identification and linkage-to-care interventions. Given the large proportion of Africans with undiagnosed hypertension and diabetes, an ED-based screening program would likely identify many new cases of these diseases. The high burden of hypertension- and diabetes-related hospitalizations highlights the urgent need for improve…
