The Feasibility and Acceptability of a Clinical Pharmacist-delivered Intervention to Reduce Bothersome Health Symptoms from Polypharmacy and Alcohol Use and Communicate Risk among People with HIV
WhatsApp-based sexual and reproductive health education for adolescents with perinatally acquired HIV
Adolescents with perinatally-acquired HIV in South Africa have limited access to relevant sexual and reproductive health (SRH) education. Mobile health (mHealth) can discreetly deliver such education but has not been tested with members of this population. In this study, we describe the effects of an mHealth intervention to support transition to adult care-Interactive Transition Support for Adolescents with HIV (InTSHA)-on SRH attitudes. Between …
Trends in body mass index for people with and without HIV
It remains unclear if and how body mass index (BMI) levels have changed over time in HIV endemic regions. We described trends in mean BMI and prevalence of overweight between 2003–2019 in 10 countries in Africa including people living with (PLWH) and without (PLWoH) HIV. We pooled Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) from countries where ≥2 surveys >4 years apart were available with height/weight measurements and HIV tests. HIV status was ascerta…
Acceptability, feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of the mHealth intervention, InTSHA, on retention in care and viral suppression among adolescents with HIV in South Africa
We describe the results of a pilot randomized clinical trial of a mobile phone-based intervention, InTSHA: Interactive Transition Support for Adolescents with HIV, compared to standard care. Encrypted, closed group chats delivered via WhatsApp provided peer support and improved communication between adolescents with HIV, their caregivers, and healthcare providers. We randomized 80 South African adolescents ages 15 to 19 years with perinatally-acq…
Enhanced Identification of Hispanic Ethnicity Using Clinical Data
BACKGROUND: Collection of accurate Hispanic ethnicity data is critical to evaluate disparities in health and health care. However, this information is often inconsistently recorded in electronic health record (EHR) data. OBJECTIVE: To enhance capture of Hispanic ethnicity in the Veterans Affairs EHR and compare relative disparities in health and health care. METHODS: We first developed an algorithm based on surname and country of birth. We then d…
A Cost-Effective Analysis of Motivational Interviewing with Palliative Care Versus Usual Care
Adapting the Surveillance Platform for Enteric and Respiratory Infectious Organisms at United States Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (Supernova) for Covid-19 Among Hospitalized Adults
Introduction: Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) rapidly initiated COVID-19 surveillance by leveraging existing hospital networks to assess disease burden among hospitalized inpatients and inform prevention efforts. Materials and Methods: The Surveillance Platform for Enteric and Respiratory Infectious Organisms at Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (SUPERNOVA) is a network of five United States Vet…
Change in Alcohol Use Based on Self-Report and a Quantitative Biomarker, Phosphatidylethanol, in People With HIV
Associations between chronic pain, analgesic use and physical therapy among adults living with HIV in Atlanta, Georgia
Chronic pain – widely classified as pain lasting longer than 3 months – has emerged as a treatment priority among people living with HIV (PLHIV), and has been associated with decreased patient retention in HIV primary care. This retrospective cohort study evaluated the changes in self-reported pain scores and analgesic usage for HIV-positive adults with chronic pain enrolled at a large, urban HIV clinic in Atlanta, Georgia, USA who received a phy…
The Impacts of Residential Location on the Risk of HIV Virologic Failure Among ART Users in Durban, South Africa
Retention in HIV care depends on patients’ perceptions of the clinic experience
Institutional barriers in HIV primary care settings can contribute substantially to disparities in retention in HIV treatment and HIV-related outcomes. This qualitative study compared the perceptions of clinic experiences of persons living with HIV (PLWH) in a Veterans Affairs HIV primary care clinic setting who were retained in care with the experiences of those who were not retained in care. Qualitative data from 25 in-depth interviews were ana…
Complementary and Alternative Medicine Among Persons living with HIV in the Era of Combined Antiretroviral Treatment
Code Saturation Versus Meaning Saturation
Saturation is a core guiding principle to determine sample sizes in qualitative research, yet little methodological research exists on parameters that influence saturation. Our study compared two approaches to assessing saturation: code saturation and meaning saturation. We examined sample sizes needed to reach saturation in each approach, what saturation meant, and how to assess saturation. Examining 25 in-depth interviews, we found that code sa…
Risk factors for Aids-defining illnesses among a population of poorly adherent people living with HIV/Aids in Atlanta, Georgia
In order to achieve the programmatic goals established in the National HIV/AIDS Strategy, virologic suppression remains the most important outcome within the HIV care continuum for individuals receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). Therefore, clinicians have dedicated substantial resources to improve adherence and clinic retention for individuals on ART; however, these efforts should be focused first on those most at risk of morbidity and mortal…
Concurrent use of traditional medicine and ART
The concurrent use of traditional African medicine (TAM) and allopathic medicine is not well understood for people living with HIV (PLHIV) in the era of antiretroviral therapy (ART). This cross-sectional, qualitative study examines perceptions of the concurrent use of TAM and ART among: (1) patients receiving ART at the Sinikithemba HIV Clinic of McCord Hospital, in Durban, South Africa; (2) allopathic medical providers (doctors, nurses and HIV c…
