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…
Lessons Learned From Using PCORnet® to Support the Pathways to Cardiovascular Disease Prevention and Impact of Specialty Referral Among People With HIV From Underrepresented Racial and Ethnic Groups i…
OBJECTIVE: The PATHWAYS Study utilized data from the PCORnet® Common Data Model (CDM) at 4 sites participating in the STAR Clinical Research Network to assess the frequency of cardiology encounters for under-represented racial and ethnic minority group people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus and to evaluate the determinants associated with specialty encounters from 2014 to 2020. This study dealt with several factors that other projects le…
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…
Feasibility, Acceptability, and Preliminary Efficacy of a Gamified Mobile Health Contingency Management Intervention for PrEP Adherence Among Black MSM
Awareness and acceptability of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among students at two historically Black universities (HBCU)
African American HBCU students are becoming aware of PrEP, and generally perceive the intervention as acceptable and worth consideration
The influence of healthcare financing on cardiovascular disease prevention in people living with HIV
Clinical Trial Registration Number: NCT03643705
An educational initiative in response to identified PrEP prescribing needs among PCPs in the Southern U.S
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an effective HIV prevention method, but many primary care physicians (PCPs) have not incorporated PrEP into practice. While PrEP may be a key strategy to reducing high HIV transmission rates in the southern US, knowledge about PrEP prescribing patterns among PCPs in this region is lacking. An online survey was sent to a large network of PCPs at an academic medical center in North Carolina in October 2015. The su…
Coronary artery disease risk reduction in HIV-infected persons
Despite an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), few data are available on primary prevention of CAD in this population. In this retrospective cohort study, HIV-infected patients treated in an academic medical center HIV Specialty Clinic between 1996 and 2010 were matched by age, gender, and ethnicity to a cohort of presumed uninfected persons followed in an academic medical c…
