Bible Noise-Sonic Explorations in Biblical Engagement Through the Use of Voice
This paper examines the practice of 'Bible Noise', a group which I led at a Church of England evangelical church that explored creative ways of reading aloud the Bible through sound art practice. Biblical engagement is central to evangelicals and I wanted to expand biblical engagement by using sonic performances through the use of our voices, thereby facilitating a more bodily encounter with scripture. 'Noise' in the group name alludes to the dis…
Correlates of and barriers to ART adherence among adherence-challenged people living with HIV in southern India
Suboptimal adherence to Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) regimens can lead to the development of drug resistance, virologic and clinical failure, and, on the community level, the spread of drug-resistant HIV. To design effective interventions, it is crucial to understand locally specific barriers to optimal adherence. Self-report data from a cross-sectional sample of 527 adherence-challenged people living with HIV (PLWH) in the South-Indian state of …
A Behavioral Adherence Intervention Improves Rates of Viral Suppression Among Adherence-Challenged People Living with HIV in South India
Examining engagement in care of women living with HIV in South India
HIV seropositive adherence-challenged women, who reported being on ART for at least four months were interviewed. Data on healthcare history, anti-retroviral therapy, clinic visits, doctor communication, disclosure and fear of stigma were collected. Better engagement in care was significantly more likely among older women, ≥ 10 years of education, higher income, HIV status disclosure to family, with higher community stigma fears and fewer healthc…
Food Insecurity and Its Relation to Psychological Well-Being Among South Indian People Living with HIV
Reasons for and correlates of antiretroviral treatment interruptions in a cohort of patients from public and private clinics in southern India
Understanding the prevalence and correlates of treatment interruptions (TIs) in resource-limited settings is important for improving adherence. HIV-infected adults on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in Bangalore, India, were enrolled into a prospective cohort study assessing HAART adherence. Participants underwent a structured interview assessing adherence, including occurrence of TI > 48 hours since HAART initiation, length of TI, a…
Treatment switching in South Indian patients on Haart: What are the predictors and consequences
Early identification and management of treatment failure on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is crucial in maintaining a sustained response to therapy in HIV infection. However, HIV viral load (VL) and resistance testing, and second-line HAART regimens, are unaffordable to many patients in India, leaving them with limited treatment options. Predictors and reasons for antiretroviral switching, therefore, are likely to differ in setting…
