  • Receipt of routine preventive care services among Medicaid enrollees with HIV

    Jessica S Kiernan, Deo Mujwara et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2026

    Preventive care receipt is suboptimal for people with HIV. Low physician reimbursement may play a role. We examined physician reimbursement and receipt of five annual preventive care services for Medicaid enrollees with HIV. We used person-level administrative claims (Medicaid Analytic eXtract, 2008-2012), state Medicaid-to-Medicare physician fee ratios representing state-level Medicaid primary care reimbursement relative to Medicare reimbursemen…

  • Drive time to care and retention in HIV care

    Open AccessApril D Kimmel, Rose S Bono et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Rural Health2025

    PURPOSE: Less than 50% of people with HIV (PWH) in the United States are retained in care, a key step along the HIV care continuum. We examined the impact of geographic access to care on retention in care for urban and rural PWH. METHODS: We used Medicaid claims and clinician data (Medicaid Analytic eXtract and MAX Provider Characteristics, 2009-2012) for 13 Southern states plus the District of Columbia. We calculated drive time from the enrollee…

  • The economic costs and cost-effectiveness of HIV self-testing among truck drivers in Kenya

    Open AccessDeo Mujwara, Elizabeth A Kelvin et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2024

    HIV status awareness is critical for ending the HIV epidemic but remains low in high-HIV-risk and hard-to-reach sub-populations. Targeted, efficient interventions are needed to improve HIV test-uptake. We examined the incremental cost-effectiveness of offering the choice of self-administered oral HIV-testing (HIVST-Choice) compared with provider-administered testing only [standard-of-care (SOC)] among long-distance truck drivers. Effectiveness da…

  • Urban-rural disparities in geographic accessibility to care for people living with HIV

    Rose S Bono, Zhongzhe Pan et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2023

    In the United States, people living with HIV (PLWH) in rural areas fare worse along the HIV care continuum than their urban counterparts; this may be due in part to limited geographic access to care. We estimated drive time to care for PLWH, focusing on urban-rural differences. Adult Medicaid enrollees living with HIV and their usual care clinicians were identified using administrative claims data from 14 states (Medicaid Analytic eXtract, 2009–2…

  • Disparities in access to primary care, a key site for HIV prevention services, among gay and bisexual men in the United States

    Jessica S Kiernan, April D KimmelARTICLEAIDS Care2023

    U.S. HIV diagnoses disproportionately affect Non-Hispanic Black (NHB) and Hispanic gay and bisexual men. Using data from the National Health Interview Survey (2013-2018), we examined race and ethnicity and primary care access, an HIV prevention resource, among gay and bisexual men. The explanatory variable was NHB, Hispanic or Non-Hispanic White (NHW). Outcomes were primary care-specific usual place of care (potential access) and saw general doct…

  • Structural barriers to comprehensive, coordinated HIV care

    April D Kimmel, Steven P Masiano et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2018

    Structural barriers to HIV care are particularly challenging in the US South, which has higher HIV diagnosis rates, poverty, uninsurance, HIV stigma, and rurality, and fewer comprehensive public health programs versus other US regions. Focusing on one structural barrier, we examined geographic accessibility to comprehensive, coordinated HIV care (HIVCCC) in the US South. We integrated publicly available data to study travel time to HIVCCC in 16 S…

  • The Case for Considering Education and Health

    Open AccessEmily Zimmerman, Emily B Zimmerman et al.ARTICLEUrban Education2018Citada por: 3Referências: 55

    Awareness of the impact of education on health remains relatively low among the public, professionals, and policy makers. Virginia Commonwealth University’s Center on Society and Health sought to raise awareness among key decision makers about the impact of education on health outcomes through its Education and Health Initiative (EHI). EHI utilized four key strategies to raise awareness: user-oriented research, strategic communication, local and …

  • Decision maker priorities for providing antiretroviral therapy in HIV-infected South Africans

    April D Kimmel, Norman Daniels et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2012

    In resource-limited settings, successful HIV treatment scale-up has been tempered by reports of funding shortfalls. We aimed to determine the priorities, including ethical considerations, of decision makers for HIV antiretroviral programs. We conducted qualitative interviews with 12 decision makers, identified using purposive sampling. Respondents engaged in one-on-one, semi-structured interviews. We developed an interview guide to direct questio…
