HIV Risk Behaviors Among Community-Recruited Older People Who Inject Drugs (PWID) Prescreening for HPTN 094 in Washington, DC
Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV
Although Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is a powerful tool to prevent HIV acquisition, Black cisgender women (CGW) face disparities in accessing PrEP in the United States. This scoping review aimed to (1) describe PrEP awareness, willingness, and preferred delivery modes, and (2) assess willingness measurement among Black CGW before and after PrEP's widespread availability. We searched PubMed and Google Scholar databases to identify peer-reviewe…

HIV Risk Perception, Willingness to Use PrEP, and PrEP Uptake Among Young Men who have Sex with Men in Washington, DC
There are people like me who will see that, and it will just wash over them’
The high incidence of HIV among US Black sexual minority men is a public health crisis that pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV can help address. Public health campaigns, which often include pictures of Black sexual minority men alongside PrEP-related messaging, have been developed to encourage PrEP awareness and uptake. However, the acceptability of the messaging within these campaigns among Black sexual minority men is unclear. We conducted…

Risk compensation in HIV PrEP adherence among Black men who have sex with men in HPTN 073 study
While HIV infections among men who have sex men (MSM) have started to decline in the United States, Black MSM continue to experience disproportionate rates of HIV infection. The purpose of this secondary analysis is to examine risk perception and its influence on PrEP adherence among Black MSM from HPTN 073. Risk perception was measured using the adapted Perceived Vulnerability to HIV Scale. The associations between risk perception and PrEP adher…

Behavioral and neuroimaging evidence for impaired executive function in “cognitively normal” older HIV-infected adults
The increased prevalence of HIV among adults >50 years underscores the importance of improving our understanding of mechanisms causing HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND). Identifying novel and noninvasive diagnostic predictors of HAND prior to clinical manifestation is critical to ultimately identifying means of preventing progression to symptomatic HAND. Here, using a task-switching paradigm, in which subjects were cued (unpredictabl…
Receipt of HIV prevention interventions is more common in community-based clinics than in primary care or acute care settings for Black men who have sex with men in the District of Columbia
Characterization of structural barriers that impede the receipt of HIV prevention and care services is critical to addressing the HIV epidemic among Black men who have sex with men (BMSM). This study investigated the utilization of HIV prevention and general care services among a non-clinic-based sample of BMSM who reported at least one structural barrier to engagement in care. Proportions of participants who had received HIV prevention services …

The High Prevalence of Incarceration History Among Black Men Who Have Sex With Men in the United States
Objectives. We examined lifetime incarceration history and its association with key characteristics among 1553 Black men who have sex with men (BMSM) recruited in 6 US cities. Methods. We conducted bivariate analyses of data collected from the HIV Prevention Trials Network 061 study from July 2009 through December 2011 to examine the relationship between incarceration history and demographic and psychosocial variables predating incarceration and …
Relation of Childhood Sexual Abuse, Intimate Partner Violence, and Depression to Risk Factors for HIV Among Black Men Who Have Sex With Men in 6 US Cities
Objectives. We assessed the relation of childhood sexual abuse (CSA), intimate partner violence (IPV), and depression to HIV sexual risk behaviors among Black men who have sex with men (MSM). Methods. Participants were 1522 Black MSM recruited from 6 US cities between July 2009 and December 2011. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression models were used. Results. Participants reported sex before age 12 years with someone at least 5 years …

Differing HIV Risks and Prevention Needs among Men and Women Injection Drug Users (IDU) in the District of Columbia
A profile of an HIV- and child-specific programme in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
Since the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, 4.3 million children under 15 years of age have been infected with HIV worldwide; in the year 2000 alone, the World Health Organization estimates that 600,000 children became HIV-infected. Ancillary services offer the potential to improve access to and retention in primary care through removal of barriers to care. Globally, ancillary services may actually represent a significant proportion of all care del…
House/ball culture and adolescent African-American transgender persons and men who have sex with men
Transgender persons and young men of color who have sex with men (YMSM of color) have been severely affected by HIV in the USA. Houses and balls in the USA have historically been a primary meeting ground for YMSM of color and transgender people, offering an opportunity for HIV prevention activities. Houses provide a familial structure for YMSM of color and transgender people, while balls provide them with events at which they can congregate for s…
Oral versus anal sex at last encounter – behavioral differences among men who have sex with men in the District of Columbia
Oral sex may be used as a form of harm reduction against HIV transmission. We compared characteristics of men who have sex with men (MSM) in Washington, DC having oral sex versus those having anal sex at last encounter. Data collected through National HIV Behavioral Surveillance in 2008 using venue-based sampling were used. Men ≥18 years old disclosing MSM behavior in the past year were analyzed (n=500); OraQuick and Western Blot confirmation wer…
Differing HIV Risks and Prevention Needs among Men and Women Injection Drug Users (IDU) in the District of Columbia
Correlates of HIV Acquisition in a Cohort of Black Men Who Have Sex with Men in the United States
BACKGROUND: Black men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United States (US) are affected by HIV at disproportionate rates compared to MSM of other race/ethnicities. Current HIV incidence estimates in this group are needed to appropriately target prevention efforts. METHODS: From July 2009 to October 2010, Black MSM reporting unprotected anal intercourse with a man in the past six months were enrolled and followed for one year in six US cities for…
Correlates of frequency of HIV testing among men who have sex with men in Washington, DC
In Washington, DC, the leading mode of HIV transmission is through men who have sex with men (MSM) behavior. This study explored differences between frequent HIV testers (men testing at least twice a year) and annual or less frequent testers (men testing once a year or less) in DC. Nearly, one-third of MSM reported testing for HIV at least four times in the prior two years. In the multivariable model, frequent testers had significantly higher odd…

Understanding Structural Barriers to Accessing HIV Testing and Prevention Services Among Black Men Who Have Sex with Men (BMSM) in the United States
The validity of clinic-based samples in approximating out-of-care HIV-infected populations
Tremendous strides have been made in the diagnosis and treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); perhaps now the largest barrier to controlling HIV is retaining those diagnosed in care. Data on out-of-care populations are needed to develop effective retention methods, yet obtaining these remains methodologically challenging due to inherent difficulties in sampling. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether individuals identified by…
