This study explores proactive coping processes in navigating HIV/AIDS‐related stigma within immediate families. Data for this study come from 19 one‐on‐one, qualitative interviews with a diverse, clinical sample of PLWHA in Philadelphia, PA. Thematic analysis indicated that participants continue to experience enacted, anticipated…

  • The Role of VA Community Care in Addressing Health and Health Care Disparities

    Baligh R Yehia, Clinton L Greenstone et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2017Referencias: 3

    Despite significant advances in medical care over the past decade, health and health care disparities persist across populations in the United States.1 These differences lead to poor health outcomes and experiences for many diverse groups, including people of color, women, persons with social and economic disadvantage, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender populations, and individuals living in rural and inner-city areas. Health disparities are…

    Kristin Mattocks, Kristin M Mattocks et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2017Referencias: 11

    As the largest integrated health care system in the country, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) delivers care to >8 million Veterans each year at over 1700 sites of care across all 50 states. In addition to providing services within VHA facilities, VHA provides community care by partnering with federal and private providers, clinics, and hospitals to care for Veterans.

  • Creating Welcoming Spaces for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Patients

    Zachary Mcclain, Linda A Hawkins et al.ARTICLEJournal of Homosexuality2016Citada por: 9Referencias: 15

    Health outcomes are affected by patient, provider, and environmental factors. Previous studies have evaluated patient-level factors; few focusing on environment. Safe clinical spaces are important for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities. This study evaluates current models of LGBT health care delivery, identifies strengths and weaknesses, and makes recommendations for LGBT spaces. Models are divided into LGBT-specific and L…

  • Barriers and facilitators to patient retention in HIV care

    Open AccessBaligh R Yehia, Leslie Stewart et al.ARTICLEBMC Infectious Diseases2015

    BACKGROUND: Retention in HIV care improves survival and reduces the risk of HIV transmission to others. Multiple quantitative studies have described demographic and clinical characteristics associated with retention in HIV care. However, qualitative studies are needed to better understand barriers and facilitators. METHODS: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 51 HIV-infected individuals, 25 who were retained in care and 26 not retained…

  • Mapping patient-identified barriers and facilitators to retention in HIV care and antiretroviral therapy adherence to Andersen's Behavioral Model

    Carol W Holtzman, Judy A Shea et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2015

    Andersen's Behavioral Model (ABM) provides a framework for understanding how patient and environmental factors impact health behaviors and outcomes. We compared patient-identified barriers/facilitators to retention in care and antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence and evaluated how they mapped to ABM. Qualitative semi-structured interviews with 51 HIV-infected adults at HIV clinics in Philadelphia, PA, in 2013 were used to explore patients' expe…

  • Impact of transitioning from HIV clinical trials to routine medical care on clinical outcomes and patient perceptions

    Baligh R Yehia, Judith A Long et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2012

    Participation in antiretroviral therapy clinical trials (ART-RCTs) offers many advantages including access to new drugs, close monitoring, and cost savings. These same benefits may pose a risk to patients ending ART-RCTs and returning to routine care; as they may experience changes to their drug regimen, decreased monitoring, and new out-of-pocket costs. We aimed to evaluate this transition and determine its effects on viral outcomes and patient …

  • Disparities in Receipt of Antiretroviral Therapy Among HIV-infected Adults (2002–2008)

    John A Fleishman, Baligh R Yehia et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2012Referencias: 28

    OBJECTIVE: Prior research has documented sociodemographic disparities in the use of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Recent therapeutic developments and changing epidemiological profiles may have altered such disparities. We examine the extent to which sociodemographic differences in prescribed ART have changed between 2002 and 2008. METHODS: We analyzed data abstracted from medical records at 13 US sites participating in the Human Immunodeficiency …

  • Battling Aids in America

    Baligh R Yehia, Baligh Yehia et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2011Referencias: 9

    Thirty years ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported the first cases of AIDS in the United States. Since then, more than half a million Americans have died of AIDS, and 1.1 million people are currently living with HIV in the United States. In an attempt to reinvigorate the domestic response to the HIV epidemic, the Obama administration developed and released the National HIV/AIDS Strategy for the United States (NHAS). The NHA…

  • The Economic Burden of Late Entry Into Medical Care for Patients With HIV Infection

    John A Fleishman, Baligh R Yehia et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2010Referencias: 27

    CONTEXT: A large proportion of people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection enter care late in the HIV disease course. Late entry can increase expenditures for care. OBJECTIVE: To estimate direct medical care expenditures for HIV patients as a function of disease status at initial presentation to care. Late entry is defined as initial CD4 test result ≤ 200 cells/mm3, intermediate entry as initial CD4 counts >200, and ≤ 500 cells/mm3; …
