Prevalence and Correlates of Non-Alcoholic Beverage Consumption Among People Living with HIV
Unhealthy alcohol use is prevalent among people living with HIV (PLH) and is associated with worse HIV care outcomes. Non-alcoholic beverages (NABs; beer, wine, or spirits containing 0.0% to 0.5% alcohol by volume) may represent a novel alcohol reduction strategy; however, the prevalence and correlates of NAB use among PLH remain unexamined. This study utilized baseline data from the Florida Cohort Study (N = 589; June 2024-October 2025). Self-re…

How low-income gay and bisexual men who have sex with men navigate financial challenges to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis use
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…
Medical and Pharmacy Students’ Awareness, Knowledge, and Attitudes Toward Injectable HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)
Forced Sexual Encounters and HIV Pre- and Post-Exposure Prophylaxis Use Among Men Who Have Sex With Men
Men who have sex with men (MSM) experiencing forced sexual encounters (FSE) are at heightened HIV vulnerability. PrEP and PEP are effective HIV prevention strategies; yet, limited research exists exploring the relationships between FSE, PrEP, and PEP use. Primary data were collected from August 2022-July 2023. Among the 21,373 participants, 21% experienced FSE in the last 5 years, 3.26% indicated past-year PEP use, and 24.81% reported current PrE…
Dismantling Stereotypes About Being Top, Versatile, or Bottom
Many sexual minority men (SMM) use sex position self-labels, including "top," "bottom," "versatile," as well as combinations like "vers/top" and "vers/bottom" to describe engagement in anal intercourse. Despite the use of these labels, there is limited literature identifying various aspects that may impact SMM's chosen sex position label. The purpose of this study was to examine factors (i.e. sexual behavior, participants' anthropomorphic charact…
Trusted Information Sources About the Covid-19 Vaccine Vary in Underserved Communities
The COVID-19 pandemic was one of the deadliest global public health events. In the United States, over 1.1 million individuals have died, and now COVID-19 is the third leading cause of death (CDC, 2023). Vaccine uptake has stalled among different demographics. Vaccine hesitancy, a delay in accepting or refusing vaccines, poses a significant challenge regardless of the availability of safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines. This study aimed to ident…
Addressing food insecurity in HIV care
Ending the HIV epidemic in the United States will require addressing social determinants contributing to poor care engagement among people living with HIV (PLH), such as food insecurity. Food insecurity is associated with poor care engagement among PLH. Yet, few studies have examined the perspectives of healthcare and social services providers on addressing food insecurity in HIV care. Guided by the Social Ecological Model, we conducted semi-stru…
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Health Education in Healthcare Professional Graduate Programs
Relative to cisgender heterosexual persons, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people experience greater health inequities, thereby affecting their engagement in care. One strategy to address these disparities is to educate future healthcare professionals to provide nondiscriminatory care to LGBT people. The goal of this study was to explore the perceived coverage of LGBT health education topics in graduate-level medical (MD), pharmac…
The impact of food insecurity on receipt of care, retention in care, and viral suppression among people living with HIV/Aids in the United States
Introduction Attaining The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS 95-95-95 targets to end the HIV epidemic by 2030 will require a greater understanding of the underlying mechanisms influencing care engagement among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). One such mechanism is food insecurity, defined as limited or uncertain access to food. Food insecurity has been shown to significantly impact HIV outcomes. Yet, few studies have examined the mec…
Women’s Motivators to Engage in Opioid Use Disorder Treatment While Enrolled in an Opioid Intervention Court
The findings provide new insights into various factors across all levels of the Social-Ecological Model that influence motivation for opioid use disorder treatment among women enrolled in opioid intervention court. Results support the possibility to integrate programs rooted in Self-Determination Theory to support opioid use disorder treatment among justice-involved persons
Racial Variations in Psychosocial Vulnerabilities Linked to Differential Poppers Use and Associated HIV-Related Outcomes among Young Men Who Have Sex with Men
Background: Poppers use has become increasingly prevalent and is associated with elevated HIV risk among young men who have sex with men (YMSM) in urban settings. However, knowledge regarding racial variations of poppers use and their psychosocial determinants to inform culturally-targeted interventions remain limited. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study among YMSM recruited from two US metropolitan areas (Nashville, TN and Buffalo, NY)…
“Shades of risk”
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a safe and effective HIV prevention strategy. Given the possibility of increased sexual risk-taking and acquisition of other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) following PrEP initiation, it is important to explore STI risk perceptions both before and after PrEP initiation to understand the extent to which these perceptions inform decisions to engage in condomless sex. Semi-structured qualitative interviews w…
Factors correlated with pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) awareness and use among black adults in the United States
HIV remains a significant public health concern for Black adults (BA) in the United States. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective prevention tool prescribed to protect the health of HIV-uninfected individuals. Yet, low rates of PrEP awareness and utilization persist among BA. Less is understood about the pathways that may promote PrEP uptake. The present study explored factors associated with PrEP awareness and use among BA. Using…

Provider-Patient Communication on Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (Prep) for HIV Prevention
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a once-daily pill prescribed by healthcare providers to protect patients from contracting HIV. Current data suggests that a minority of healthcare providers have ever prescribed it to clinically-eligible patients. The present study employed a social ecological framework to understand the factors that influence providers' engagement in patient-centered communication regarding PrEP. Semi-structured interviews (N =…

Examining taste testing and point-of-purchase prompting as strategies to promote healthier food selection from food trucks
Objective: To examine the feasibility of taste testing and point-of-purchase prompting to promote healthier food choices at a food truck event. Design: A pre-/post-study was conducted where food trucks provided samples of healthy food items to patrons and implemented point-of-purchase prompting (promotional signage; verbal cues). Implementation fidelity, acceptability and initial effectiveness were assessed via observation, patron surveys and sal…
