Mitigating Medical Debt as a Public Health Equity Issue: Challenges and Opportunities in New York City
Social determinants of health analysis makes causal inference and requires analytic epidemiology methods
Neighborhood social cohesion and viral suppression after HIV diagnosis
Social cohesion has varying effects on health. We investigated the association of perceived neighborhood social cohesion with HIV viral suppression using individual-level data from the New York City HIV registry and surveillance-based interviews ( n = 92). Suppression was achieved within 12 months of HIV diagnosis by 60 percent of persons perceiving low cohesion and 71 percent of those perceiving high ( p = 0.31). Controlling for demographic and …
Housing Subsidies and Housing Stability are Associated with Better HIV Medical Outcomes Among Persons Who Experienced Homelessness and Live with HIV and Mental Illness or Substance Use Disorder
Enrollment Length, Service Category, and HIV Health Outcomes Among Low-Income HIV-Positive Persons Newly Enrolled in a Housing Program, New York City, 2014–2017
Objectives. To evaluate the impact of duration and service category on HIV health outcomes among low-income adults living with HIV and enrolled in a housing program in 2014 to 2017. Methods. We estimated relative risk of engagement in care, viral suppression, and CD4 improvement for 561 consumers at first and second year after enrollment to matched controls through the New York City HIV surveillance registry, by enrollment length (enrolled for mo…
Healthcare facility characteristics associated with achievement and maintenance of HIV viral suppression among persons newly diagnosed with HIV in New York City
Health care facility characteristics have been shown to influence intermediary health outcomes among persons with HIV, but few longitudinal studies of suppression have included these characteristics. We studied the association of these characteristics with the achievement and maintenance of HIV viral suppression among New York City (NYC) residents aged 13 years and older newly diagnosed with HIV between 2006 and 2012. The NYC HIV surveillance reg…
A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Rapid Re-housing Intervention for Homeless Persons Living with HIV/Aids: Impact on Housing and HIV Medical Outcomes
Multilevel Factors Associated with a Lack of Viral Suppression Among Persons Living with HIV in a Federally Funded Housing Program
Reduction in Gaps in High CD4 Count and Viral Suppression Between Transgender and Cisgender Persons Living With HIV in New York City, 2007–2016
Objectives. To compare trends in HIV outcomes for cisgender and transgender persons living with HIV (PLWH) in New York City. Methods. We used HIV surveillance data for the analysis. We based CD4 count on the last measurement in a calendar year and defined viral suppression as the last viral load being less than or equal to 200 copies per milliliter in the calendar year. Results. The estimated number of PLWH increased from 73 415 in 2007 to 83 299…
Long-Term Supportive Housing is Associated with Decreased Risk for New HIV Diagnoses Among a Large Cohort of Homeless Persons in New York City

Persistent Racial Disparities in HIV Infection in the USA: HIV Prevalence Matters
Diagnosed HIV Infection in Transgender Adults and Adolescents: Results from the National HIV Surveillance System, 2009–2014
HIV Diagnoses and Care Among Transgender Persons and Comparison With Men Who Have Sex With Men: New York City, 2006–2011
Objectives. We measured HIV care outcomes of transgender persons, who have high HIV infection rates but are rarely distinguished from men who have sex with men (MSM) in HIV surveillance systems. Methods. New York City’s surveillance registry includes HIV diagnoses since 2000 and HIV laboratory test results for transgender persons since 2005. We determined immunological status at diagnosis, delayed linkage to care, and nonachievement of viral supp…
The high proportion of late HIV diagnoses in the USA is likely to stay: Findings from a mathematical model
A static model of undiagnosed and diagnosed HIV infections by year of infection and year of diagnosis was constructed to examine the impact of changes in HIV case-finding and HIV incidence on the proportion of late diagnoses. With no changes in HIV case-finding or incidence, the proportion of late diagnoses in the USA would remain stable at the 2010 level, 32.0%; with a 10% increase in HIV case-finding and no changes in HIV incidence, the estimat…
Foreign-Born Persons Diagnosed with HIV: Where are They From and Where Were They Infected
Retention in Care and Viral Suppression Among Persons Living With HIV/Aids in New York City, 2006–2010
Objectives. We estimated the proportions of persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in New York City (NYC) retained in care and virally suppressed. Methods. We used routinely reported laboratory surveillance data to measure trends in retention in care and viral suppression in PLWHA in NYC from 2006 through 2010. Our denominator excluded persons lacking any HIV-related laboratory tests during the 5 years prior to the year of analysis. Results. The pr…
Injection prevalence and risks among male ethnic minority drug users in northern Thailand
Thailand's rate of HIV due to drug use is increasing, and nearly one-half of clients at a drug treatment centre in the north are from marginalized ethnic minority groups. We describe and compare socio-demographics, drug use, and sexual practices across ethnic minority people presenting for treatment at the Northern Drug Treatment Center, Mae Rim, Thailand. A prevalence study was conducted between February 1999 and January 2000. Trained interviewe…
