Depressive symptoms mediate the association between loneliness and cognitive performance in women living with HIV
Loneliness is a risk factor for cognitive impairment, yet, its role in domain-specific cognitive performance and underlying mechanisms remain understudied in women living with HIV (WLWH). To assess whether depressive symptoms mediate associations between loneliness and global and domain-specific cognition, data were analyzed from 1621 WLWH participating in the Women's Interagency HIV Study, a multicenter, observational cohort conducted in the Uni…
Associations Between Internalized HIV Stigma and Cognitive Function Among Older Women With HIV
Objectives Internalized HIV stigma refers to the negative beliefs, feelings, and attitudes that people with HIV (PWH) adopt about themselves due to societal HIV stigma. Internalized HIV stigma negatively affects mental health but less is known about this factor on cognitive function in PWH. This study examines associations between internalized HIV stigma and cognition among women aged 50+ with HIV. Methods Internalized HIV stigma was measured in …
Exploring the role of motherhood in healthcare engagement for women living with HIV in the USA
Mothers living with HIV are faced with managing their own complex healthcare and wellness needs while caring for their children. Understanding the lived experiences of mothers living with HIV, including grandmothers and mothers with older children - who are less explicitly represented in existing literature, may guide the development of interventions that best support them and their families. This study sought to explore the role of motherhood an…
Heterogeneous depressive symptom trajectories among women with type 2 diabetes
BACKGROUND: Depression affects 33% of women with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and leads to increased risks of premature mortality. Fluctuation and variation of depressive presentations can hinder clinical identification. PURPOSE: We aimed to identify and examine subgroups characterized by distinct depressive symptom trajectories among women with T2D. METHODS: This retrospective analysis leveraged the Women's Interagency HIV Study data to identify depres…

Rural-Urban Commuting Area codes revealed that 7% resided in areas where >30% commute to urban areas, 2% resided in small towns or rural areas, and 91% resided in varying densities …
Health insurance and Aids Drug Assistance Program (Adap) increases retention in care among women living with HIV in the United States
Our objective was to examine the association between healthcare payer type and missed HIV care visits among 1,366 US women living with HIV (WLWH) enrolled in the prospective Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS). We collected secondary patient-level data (October 1, 2017-September 30, 2018) from WLWH at nine WIHS sites. We used bivariate and multivariable binary logistic regression to examine the relationship between healthcare payer type (cross-c…

Are missed- and kept-visit measures capturing different aspects of retention in HIV primary care
The literature recognizes six measures of retention in care, an integral component of the HIV Continuum of Care. Given prior research showing that different retention measures are differentially associated with HIV health outcomes (e.g., CD4 count and viral suppression), we hypothesized that different groups of people living with HIV (PLWH) would also have differential retention outcomes based on the retention measure applied. We conducted a cros…
Quality of care for Black and Latina women living with HIV in the U.S
Quality of care represents a key changeable lever affecting engage in care among WLWH. The communities most proximally affected by HIV should be key stakeholders in HIV-related quality assurance. Findings highlight aspects of the health care experience valued by WLWH, and potential participatory, patient-driven avenues for improvement

Impact of Medicare Part D on mental health treatment and outcomes for dual eligible beneficiaries with HIV
Depression is common among women with HIV and untreated depression can result in poor quality of life and worsen HIV outcomes. Women with HIV who are dually enrolled in Medicaid and Medicare faced a potential disruption in medication access when Medicare Part D was implemented in 2006. The goal of this study was to estimate the effects of Medicare Part D implementation on antidepressant use, depressive symptoms, and hospitalization in Medicaid-Me…

HIV Prevention for Black Heterosexual Men
Objectives. To identify the impact of a strengths-focused HIV prevention program among high-risk heterosexual Black men. Methods. Barbershops in Brooklyn, New York, neighborhoods with high rates of heterosexually transmitted HIV were randomized to the intervention or an attention control program.

Comparing neighborhood and state contexts for women living with and without HIV
In the South, people living with HIV experience worse health outcomes than in other geographic regions, likely due to regional political, structural, and socioeconomic factors. We describe the neighborhoods of women (n = 1,800) living with and without HIV in the Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS), a cohort with Southern sites in Chapel Hill, NC; Atlanta, GA; Birmingham, AL; Jackson, MS; and Miami, FL; and non-Southern sites in Brooklyn, NY; Bro…
Perceptions of intersectional stigma among diverse women living with HIV in the United States
Attitudes and behavior that devalue individuals based upon their HIV status (HIV-related stigma) are barriers to HIV prevention, treatment, and wellbeing among women living with HIV. Other coexisting forms of stigma (e.g., racism, sexism) may worsen the effects of HIV-related stigma, and may contribute to persistent racial and gendered disparities in HIV prevention and treatment. Few studies examine perceptions of intersectional stigma among wome…
Depressive Symptoms and Aids-Related Mortality Among a Multisite Cohort of HIV-Positive Women

Dissatisfaction with medical care among women with HIV
Studies have shown that women with HIV/AIDS in the USA are less likely than men to have access to appropriate health care and to utilize services, including the latest antiretroviral drug therapies. One explanation for this underutilization is patient dissatisfaction with medical care. Dissatisfaction with care has been shown to be associated not only with treatment underutilization, but also with discontinuity of care and poor clinical outcomes.…

Contexts of risk and networks of protection
To generate insights into how migration shapes sexual risk and protection, we interviewed 36 female and 20 male West Indian immigrants attending a public sexually transmitted disease clinic in Brooklyn, New York, between 2004 and 2005. Migration theory suggests that shifts in sexual partnership patterns, bi-directional travel and changes in sexual norms may alter risk. We found evidence of sexual mixing across ethnic groups: a large proportion of…
