Facilitators and barriers to anal cancer screening among men with HIV and their providers in Alabama
Anal cancer, primarily caused by persistent high-risk HPV infection, is increasing worldwide. Men who have sex with men (MSM) and men with HIV (MWH) have incidence rates over ten-fold the rate among the general population. We explored health beliefs related to anal cancer, and perceived benefits, barriers, and facilitators to screening among MWH and their HIV care providers in the U.S. South, where HIV incidence remains high. We conducted in-dept…
Sexual risk characteristics, social vulnerability, and anal cancer screening uptake among men living with HIV in the deep south
Without standard guidelines, there is a critical need to examine anal cancer screening uptake in the South which has the highest HIV incidence in the U.S. We identified factors associated with screening among men living with HIV (MLHIV) at a large academic HIV outpatient clinic in Alabama. Relationships between sociodemographic, clinical, sexual risk characteristics and screening were examined using T-tests, Fisher’s exact, Chi-square, and logist…
Aflatoxin Exposure Among Mothers and Their Infants from the Western Highlands of Guatemala
Feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of telemedicine-administered cognitive behavioral therapy for adherence and depression among African American women living with HIV in the rural Sout…
Women living with HIV are disproportionally affected by depression and mental healthcare access. A pilot feasibility trial using videoconferencing compared cognitive behavioral therapy for antiretroviral therapy adherence and depression ( N = 11) to supportive psychotherapy ( N = 11). Participants completed 10-12 weekly therapy sessions and 6-month follow-up. Retention at 6 months was 95 percent. Depression symptoms significantly decreased in bot…
