Patient Perspectives on Leveraging Long-Acting Injectable Antiretroviral Therapy Visits to Improve Chronic Disease Care
Long-acting injectable (LAI) antiretroviral therapy (ART) for treatment of HIV requires more frequent healthcare interactions than standard care, offering opportunities to enhance monitoring and management of comorbid chronic conditions among people with HIV (PWH). We conducted in-depth interviews with PWH to explore perspectives on LAI-ART uptake and readiness to switch from oral ART, as well as opportunities to integrate chronic disease care in…
Engagement in Care, Awareness, and Interest in Long-Acting Injectable Anti-Retroviral Therapy
Long Acting Injectable (LAI) therapy to treat HIV is an alternative to daily oral medications. The success of early roll-out of LAI to eligible patients requires a better understanding of patients' awareness and interest in this novel therapy. We administered an electronic survey to patients attending an urban HIV clinic in the US South. Eligible participants were 18 + years old with a most recent HIV-1 viral load < 200 copies/ml, without any evi…

Cardiology Encounters for Underrepresented Racial and Ethnic Groups with Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Borderline Cardiovascular Disease Risk
Background Underrepresented racial and ethnic groups (UREGs) with HIV have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared with the general population. Referral to a cardiovascular specialist improves CVD risk factor management in high-risk individuals. However, patient and provider factors impacting the likelihood of UREGs with HIV to have an encounter with a cardiologist are unknown. Methods We evaluated a cohort of UREGs with HIV and bo…
Patient perspectives on the helpfulness of a community health worker program for HIV care engagement in Tanzania
Task-shifting is a valuable approach for redistributing clinical tasks to nonprofessional health workers and relieving human resource shortages. The Community-Based HIV Services (CBHS) program is a national cohort of volunteer community health workers (CHWs) who support HIV care engagement at clinics in Tanzania. We recruited 23 patients initiating HIV care at two clinics to understand their experiences with the CBHS program. Participants complet…
Predictors of Self-repackaging of Antiretroviral Therapy in Northern Tanzania
Objectives: In this study, we explored determinants of "researcher-observed" patient-initiated antiretroviral therapy (ART) repackaging practices among people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Northern Tanzania. Methods: We used a quasi-experimental design to describe the prevalence of ART self- repackaging; we conducted face-to-face surveys to determine factors associated with ART self- repackaging practices. Data collection sites included the Kilimanj…
