Luke’s Pauline Theology
Jimmy Myers takes up a classic problem in New Testament studies: whether and how far Luke, Paul's earliest biographer, belongs together theologically with the apostle to the Gentiles. The question is pressing because, for over fifty years, the dominant position in NT studies has maintained that, though Luke admired Paul and made him the central figure in his second volume, Luke's theology does not conform to Paul's and therefore cannot serve as a…
Hierarchy Among Equals? A Response to Paul Molnar’s Torrance-Inspired Critique of Karl Barth’s Trinitarian Theology
This essay responds to Paul Molnar’s Torrance-inspired critique that Barth inappropriately read back elements of subordination into the immanent trinity, improperly introducing a notion of hierarchy within God’s life. It proposes that Nicene and pro-Nicene engagement with John 14:28 permits the kind of trinitarian negotiation Barth undertook and that Barth’s interpretation is to be preferred for exegetical and hermeneutical reasons and concludes …
Measuring Implementation Outcomes Change Over Time Using an Adapted Checklist for Assessing Readiness to Implement (Cari)
In 2017, the Health Resources and Services Administration's HIV/AIDS Bureau funded an Evaluation Center (EC) to assess the rapid implementation of 11 evidence-informed interventions at 25 HIV care and treatment providers across the U.S. The EC conducted an implementation science-based evaluation, including longitudinal assessment of implementation outcomes as defined by Implementation Outcome Framework (IOF) of the Conceptual Model for Implementa…

They made me feel like I mattered”
In this study, respondents perceived this MCT model as a desirable alternative to law enforcement and other first responders while satisfying immediate survival needs. To improve MCT's effectiveness for PEH, these teams could collaborate with follow-up providers capable of linking clients to resources and services that can meet their long-term needs. However, these teams may not be able to meaningfully impact the longstanding and complex issues t…
The Politics of God
In this essay, I draw attention to part of the Acts narrative that should be included in an investigation of Luke’s political stance but often gets left out: the narratives of Acts 4–5. Studies typically focus on Jesus’s trial before Pilate and Herod; Christian encounters with Roman officials in the diaspora (Philippi, Thessalonica, Athens, Corinth, and Ephesus); or Paul’s trials before Claudius Lysias, procurators, and King Agrippa II in Judea. …
Synoptic Singularity? The Chronicler’s Redaction of Samuel-Kings and Gospel Composition
One of the puzzles facing scholarship on gospel relationships is explaining the high yet varying degree of verbatim agreement among the Synoptics. On antiquity’s compositional spectrum, this high but inconsistent verbatim agreement appears anomalous to many. Some scholars point to the Synoptists’ scribal education to make sense of the data. This article highlights the fact that the Chronicler’s use of Samuel-Kings exhibits a similar dynamic, a ph…
It Comes in Steps and Stages”
People living with HIV who are seeking jobs experience unique barriers to obtaining employment at the individual, group, and community levels. Traditional employment assistance programs can provide support but may not be tailored to some people living with HIV who often experience barriers to work related to their social needs (such as housing instability) or their lack of consistent engagement in the workforce. To understand how people living wi…
HIV Disclosure Practices to Family Among Mexican and Puerto Rican Sexual Minority Men with HIV in the Continental USA
Disclosing a seropositive HIV status still is a complex process of assessing the risks, benefits, and potential personal and interpersonal outcomes associated with disclosure, such as stigma, rejection, or emotional support. We examined HIV disclosure practices to family and intersectional stigma related to HIV and sexual orientation among Latino sexual minority men (LSMM) of Mexican and Puerto Rican origin with HIV in the continental USA. Guided…
Supporting Community Partners in Reducing HIV-Related Health Disparities
The HIV epidemic remains a public health threat in the U.S., and the dissemination and implementation of evidence-based prevention and care programs are critical to addressing significant HIV health disparities. The provision of technical assistance (TA) to program providers and evaluators is key for uptake of these programs. The University of California San Francisco Prevention Research Center (UCSF PRC) model for TA delivery uses topics and str…
Exploring the Shift From HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Awareness to Uptake Among Young Gay and Bisexual Men
Introduction: HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in the form of a daily oral medication is highly effective at preventing HIV. In the United States, awareness about PrEP has steadily increased over time among individuals vulnerable to HIV, however awareness has not translated into widescale uptake. Estimates are that fewer than 20% of 1.2 million Americans for whom PrEP is indicated are utilizing it. We sought to understand how individuals moved…
Implementation Science Protocol
In 2017, the Health Resources and Services Administration's HIV/AIDS Bureau funded an Evaluation Center (EC) and a Coordinating Center for Technical Assistance (CCTA) to oversee the rapid implementation of 11 evidence-informed interventions at 26 HIV care and treatment providers across the U.S. This initiative aims to address persistent gaps in HIV-related health outcomes emerging from social determinants of health that negatively impact access t…

The Effect of Patient Navigation on the Likelihood of Engagement in Clinical Care for HIV-Infected Individuals Leaving Jail
Objectives. To compare the effectiveness of patient navigation–enhanced case management in supporting engagement in HIV care upon release from jail relative to existing services. Methods. We randomized 270 HIV-infected individuals to receive navigation-enhanced case management for 12 months or standard case management for 90 days following release from jail between 2010 and 2013. Participants were interviewed at 2, 6, and 12 months after release.…
Impact of Aids Education and Training Centers on the US HIV Medical Workforce
Objectives. To examine the extent to which the AIDS Education and Training Centers (AETCs) are increasing the number and racial/ethnic diversity of HIV medical providers, in accordance with the US National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS). Methods. We used administrative data from funding year 2012-2013 to describe AETC trainee characteristics, including the types of medical providers trained, compared with national estimates of available US medical prov…

Older Jail Inmates and Community Acute Care Use
Objectives. We examined older jail inmates’ predetainment acute care use (emergency department or hospitalization in the 3 months before arrest) and their plans for using acute care after release. Methods. We performed a cross-sectional study of 247 jail inmates aged 55 years or older assessing sociodemographic characteristics, health, and geriatric conditions associated with predetainment and anticipated postrelease acute care use. Results. We f…
Helping clinicians deliver consistent HIV prevention counseling to their HIV-infected patients
The delivery of HIV risk assessment and behavioral counseling by clinicians in HIV clinical settings is one component in a comprehensive "positive prevention" strategy to help patients reduce their transmission risk behavior. Clinicians engage in behavioral prevention inconsistently, however, depending on whether patients are new to a practice or are established in regular care and on their attitudes and characteristics of their practices. We ana…

On Being Gay in Barbados
Limited research exists about gay men in the Caribbean region. A qualitative study was conducted to characterize gay men in Barbados, their HIV risk, and the impact of stigma on their lives. The 2 main groups of gay men ("bougies" and "ghetto") reflect social class and level of "outness" in broader society. Homophobia, stigma, and buggery (sodomy) laws increase their HIV vulnerability. The need for anti-discrimination legislation and tools for se…
Get Connected
Individuals leaving prison face challenges to establishing healthy lives in the community, including opportunities to engage in behavior that puts them at risk for HIV transmission. HIV prevention case management (PCM) can facilitate linkages to services, which in turn can help remove barriers to healthy behavior. As part of a federally funded demonstration project, the community-based organization Centerforce provided 5 months of PCM to individu…

Myers and Zack Respond
We appreciate Cohen and colleagues’ comments on our report of evaluation results from a prevention case management program (PCM) delivered to men and women leaving correctional settings in California (“Get Connected”). Cohen et al. argue that PCM “should not be touted as a cost-effective use of resources for HIV prevention”1(p400) and that other interventions may prevent HIV infections at a lower cost. We would like to point out that while cost-e…

Interventions Delivered in Clinical Settings are Effective in Reducing Risk of HIV Transmission Among People Living with HIV
To support expanded prevention services for people living with HIV, the US Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) sponsored a 5-year initiative to test whether interventions delivered in clinical settings were effective in reducing HIV transmission risk among HIV-infected patients. Across 13 demonstration sites, patients were randomized to one of four conditions. All interventions were associated with reduced unprotected vaginal and/…
Messages HIV clinicians use in prevention with positives interventions
Prevention with Positives (PwP) is a component of the US HIV prevention strategy that targets HIV-infected persons who are aware of their seropositive status. This paper examines the use of prevention messages by clinical providers during the PwP intervention period of the US Health Resources and Services Administration's Special Projects of National Significance program. Quantitative approaches were used to learn which prevention topics were mos…
Understanding patient acceptance and refusal of HIV testing in the emergency department
Testing for HIV in the ED as for any other health problem reduces barriers to testing for some but not all patients. Patients who decline ED HIV testing may have rational reasons, but there are some patients who avoid HIV testing because of psychosocial ramifications. While ED HIV testing is generally acceptable, more targeted approaches to testing are necessary for this subgroup
Supporting the Integration of HIV Testing Into Primary Care Settings
Objectives. We examined the efforts of the US network of AIDS Education and Training Centers (AETCs) to increase HIV testing capacity across a variety of clinical settings. Methods. We used quantitative process data from 8 regional AETCs for July 1, 2008, to June 30, 2009, and qualitative program descriptions to demonstrate how AETC education helped providers integrate HIV testing into routine clinical care with the goals of early diagnosis and t…
Developing Effective Clinical Trainers
Continuing education and training provides a means to improve performance among health care professionals (HCP). Research shows, however, that continuing professional education activities have inconsistent effects on HCP competence, performance, and patient health outcomes. Furthermore, the trainer's role as a facilitator of knowledge translation (KT) has been understudied. To understand how clinical trainers support their trainees in translating…
