Stigma’s every day, all day long”
In 2025, gendered inequities in HIV risk and harm remain for women who use drugs (WWUD). WWUD also have low levels of HIV prevention service engagement and likely experience intersectional stigma. The present study sought to explore WWUD's experiences with intersectional stigma and how those experiences shape HIV prevention service use to better inform the development of tailored intervention efforts. Individual in-depth interviews were conducted…
PrEP as a “Hidden Message”
Within the context of this PrEP demonstration project, partner dynamics impacted PrEP adherence for HIV-negative cisgender women in serodiscordant relationships. We urge further investigation of relationship dynamics and PrEP adherence and persistence specifically among US-based cisgender women
Community violence in the HIV risk environment
In Brazil, HIV infection rates are rising among youth aged 15-24 years. HIV prevention efforts often overlook social determinants of health as barriers to engaging in health behaviors. This study investigates how community violence influences HIV risk among youth. We conducted qualitative analysis of semi structured interviews with youth (N = 53) from two urban peripheries in São Paulo and Porto Alegre, using the HIV risk environment framework to…
Intersectional stigma among Latino MSM and HIV prevention
Latino men, especially Latino men who have sex with men (LMSM), experience disparities in HIV prevention. Lack of attention to key barriers to care, such as stigma, result in inequitable access to HIV prevention and care for LMSM. This paper describes how intersectional stigma and related factors act as barriers to HIV prevention among Latino men and proposes strategies to overcome these barriers. Qualitative data were collected via in-depth inte…
Examining Perceptions Among Healthcare Providers on Their Awareness of and Experience with Prescribing and/or Referring Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis to Eligible Cisgender Black Female Patients
Prescriptions for and use of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), an available and accessible HIV prevention strategy, remain low among cisgender Black women (CBW). Given PrEP is only available through a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider (HCP), there is a need to identify factors associated with HCP's prescribing and/or referring PrEP to CBW. Qualitative methods (in-depth interviews) were used to examine factors shaping beliefs and beh…
Trauma-Informed and Healing-Centered Practices in the Context of HIV Cure Research
Minimising trauma and distress during qualitative in-depth interviews (IDIs) is an essential ethical responsibility in trauma-related research. However, there is a dearth of literature on how researchers navigate real-life ethical and distress-related issues when conducting qualitative research in African contexts. In this paper, we reflect on the lessons learned during an exploratory qualitative study with 23 Female Rising in Education Support a…
Study protocol
Background To date, the United States (US) leads the world in the number of infections and deaths due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Racial and ethnic disparities in COVID-19 morbidity and mortality are staggering. Age-adjusted data show that AA and Latino individuals have had higher rates of death over most of the pandemic and during surges. Project 2VIDA! is community-based participatory research (CBPR) that was developed to addres…
An Examination of Perceptions among Black Women on Their Awareness of and Access to Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)
Cisgender Black women (CBW) experience 67% of new HIV diagnoses among women in the South. Progress toward ending the HIV epidemic requires researchers to explore perceptions of factors related to the decision to initiate pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among CBW. Qualitative methods were used to explore how social and structural constructs influence individual decisions to use PrEP among 20 CBW through focus groups. The thematic data analysis ide…

Mental Health and Substance Use Among Black Women Attending STD Clinics in Baltimore
Discrimination, resilience, and HIV testing frequency among black women seeking services from STD clinics
Association of social network characteristics with HIV knowledge, stigma, and testing
Black and Latina women are disproportionately impacted by HIV/AIDS. Despite existing research linking social networks and HIV risk among men who have sex with men (MSM) and other high-risk populations, little research has examined how ethnic/racial minority women's social networks shape HIV prevention and intervention targets. Using interviews with a sample of 165 predominantly Black and Latina-identifying women from a small city in the Western U…
The Effect of Adverse Mental Health and Resilience on Perceived Stress by Sexual Violence History
Sexual violence, including nonconsensual sexual initiation and rape, remains pervasive, with impacts including adverse mental health and dysregulated stress response. Resilience is a promising interventional target. To advance the science, we examined the potential for resilience as an interventional tool by estimating associations between resilience, adverse mental health, and perceived stress among women by sexual violence history and partner p…
Prevalence and correlates of self-harm in a Southern California driving under the influence treatment setting
Background Suicide and driving under the influence of alcohol and other drugs are US public health epidemics. Research exploring the associations between driving under the influence and suicide presents a research gap. This study describes the prevalence and associations between demographic, alcohol and drug-related characteristics, depression, and self-harm (suicidal thoughts, behavior, and non-suicidal self-injury) among participants in a South…
Where’s the “Everyday Black Woman”? An intersectional qualitative analysis of Black Women’s decision-making regarding HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in Mississippi
An effective response to PrEP implementation among Black women in the South requires developing programs to center the needs of Black women and carry out active strategies that prioritize peer advocacy while reinforcing positive and mitigating negative influences from broader social and historical contexts
It comes altogether as one
Our findings highlight new potential opportunities and strategies to mitigate risk of HIV transmission during ATIs among key groups historically under-represented in HIV cure research. Findings also underscore the relational aspects of ATI trials. We provide preliminary considerations for planning ATI trials with diverse HIV serodifferent partners. Future studies should continue to explore these issues among other types of partnerships, cultures,…
Who Can I Ask? Who Would I Tell? An Egocentric Network Analysis Among a Sample of Women At-Risk to Explore Anticipated Advice Seeking and Disclosure Around Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)
Engagement of Sexual Violence Survivors in Research
Given the potential for retraumatization among survivors of sexual violence engaged in research, we aimed to provide pertinent knowledge and exemplification of the integration of trauma-informed practice to research with survivors. Grounded in trauma-informed care, we discuss the need for trauma-informed research, drawing upon experiences and data from a longitudinal case-control study on sexual violence. Through trauma-informed research settings…
Feasibility and Acceptability of a Web-Based Peer Navigation-Psychoeducational HIV Intervention for Women
This study examined feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of a pilot randomized controlled trial (BRIDGES) designed to improve HIV care outcomes among syndemic-affected women living with HIV (WLHA). We enrolled and randomized adult WLHA who were out-of-care or at risk of falling out-of-care and experienced any syndemic condition(s) into BRIDGES ( n = 11) or standard of care ( n = 13). BRIDGES employed peer navigation one-on-one sess…
Correlates of Medical Mistrust Among Minority Women at Risk for HIV and Their Networks
BACKGROUND: Medical mistrust is a barrier to engaging in HIV prevention and treatment, including testing and adherence to antiretroviral therapy. Research often focuses on how race and experiences of discrimination relate to medical mistrust, overlooking the role that other characteristics may play (e.g., history of physical abuse, diagnosis of mental illness). Furthermore, studies are often restricted to samples of men who have sex with men and …
No Longer the Exception, but the Standard
Typologies of violence against women in Brazil
We address the limited understanding around the overlap between violence and HIV in Brazil. Data was from two clinic-based samples of HIV-positive ( n = 1534) and HIV-negative women ( n = 1589) in São Paulo and Porto Alegre. We conducted latent class analysis and identified violence typologies by type of violence, life course timing, frequency, and perpetrator, stratified by city and HIV-status. Overall, HIV-positive women experienced more lifeti…
Staying Home, Distancing, and Face Masks
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly impacted United States residents. Prevention behaviors are critical to minimizing transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in the U.S., to ultimately reduce the health, social, and economic burdens of COVID-19. Yet, health behavior decision-making is complex, and uptake of preventative behaviors has been variable. Women may provide pro-prevention behavior modeling to their networks, facilitating uptak…

The intersection of intimate partner violence against women and HIV/Aids
The objective of this study was to review original research on the intersection of violence against women by intimate partners and risk for HIV infection and highlight opportunities for new research and programme development. Seventy-one articles presenting original, peer-reviewed research conducted with females aged 12 years and older in heterosexual relationships during the past decade (1998-2007) were reviewed. Studies were eligible for inclus…
Epidemiology of HIV Among Injecting and Non-injecting Drug Users
Injecting drug use is a major driver of HIV infections in Eastern Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States, North Africa, the Middle East, and many parts of Asia and North America. We provide a global overview of the epidemiology of HIV infection among drug users and present current drug use trends that may constitute important epidemic drivers. We describe trends in ethnic disparities among injecting drug using (IDU) populations in the Uni…
Prevalence and Correlates of Female Condom Use and Interest Among Injection Drug-Using Female Sex Workers in Two Mexico–US Border Cities
Forced Sexual Initiation, Sexual Intimate Partner Violence and HIV Risk in Women
Intimate partner violence and HIV risk factors among African-American and African-Caribbean women in clinic-based settings
Despite progress against intimate partner violence (IPV) and HIV/AIDS in the past two decades, both epidemics remain major public health problems, particularly among women of color. The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between recent IPV and HIV risk factors (sexual and drug risk behaviors, sexually transmitted infections [STIs], condom use, and negotiation) among women of African descent. We conducted a comparative case-con…
Acceptability of vaginal microbicides among female sex workers and their intimate male partners in two Mexico–US border cities
Female sex workers (FSWs) may benefit from pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) including microbicides for HIV prevention. Since adherence is a key factor in PrEP efficacy, we explored microbicide acceptability and potential barriers to use within FSWs' intimate relationships in Tijuana and Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, where HIV prevalence is increasing. FSWs and their verified intimate (non-commercial) male partners completed quantitative and qualitative i…
Intimate partner violence among African American and African Caribbean women
BACKGROUND: Women of African descent are disproportionately affected by intimate partner abuse; yet, limited data exist on whether the prevalence varies for women of African descent in the United States and those in the US territories. OBJECTIVE: In this multisite study, we estimated lifetime and 2-year prevalence of physical, sexual, and psychological intimate partner abuse (IPA) among 1,545 women of African descent in the United States and US V…

Impact of Intimate Partner Forced Sex on HIV Risk Factors in Physically Abused African American and African Caribbean Women
Women's Perspectives on Female-Initiated Barrier Methods for the Prevention of HIV in the Context of Methamphetamine Use and Partner Violence
Intimate Partner Violence and Its Health Impact on Ethnic Minority Women
In the United States, intimate partner violence (IPV) against women disproportionately affects ethnic minorities. Further, disparities related to socioeconomic and foreign-born status impact the adverse physical and mental health outcomes as a result of IPV, further exacerbating these health consequences. This article reviews 36 U.S. studies on the physical (e.g., multiple injuries, disordered eating patterns), mental (e.g., depression, post-trau…
Targeting the Sava (Substance Abuse, Violence, and Aids) Syndemic Among Women and Girls
OBJECTIVES: Multiple pathways link gender-based violence (GBV) to HIV and other sexually transmitted infections among women and girls who use or inject drugs. The aim of this article is to synthesize global literature that examines associations among the synergistic epidemics of substance abuse, violence, and HIV/AIDS, known as the SAVA syndemic. It also aims to identify a continuum of multilevel integrated interventions that target key SAVA synd…

Maternal Influences on Access to and Use of Infant ARVs and HIV Health Services in Uganda
Risk Factors for Recent Intimate Partner Violence among Methamphetamine-Using Men and Women
The Substance Abuse, Violence, and HIV/AIDS (SAVA) syndemic model describes how the confluence of the three epidemics of substance abuse, violence, and HIV risk work synergistically to create excess burden among populations. We sought to identify risk factors associated with recent intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization among heterosexual methamphetamine (meth)-using men (n = 108) and women (n = 122) enrolled in FASTLANE-II, an HIV behavio…
The cost of accessing infant HIV medications and health services in Uganda
Patient costs are a critical barrier to the elimination of mother to child HIV transmission. Despite the Ugandan government providing free public HIV services, infant antiretroviral (ARV) prophylaxis coverage remains low (25%). To understand costs mothers incur in accessing ARV prophylaxis for their infants, we conducted a mixed methods study to quantify and identify their direct costs. We used cross-sectional survey data and focus group discussi…
