Does Resilience Mediate the Relationship Between Negative Self-Image and Psychological Distress in Middle-Aged and Older Gay and Bisexual Men
Aging gay and bisexual men may have negative self-image s due to body image dissatisfaction and internalized ageism, resulting in psychological distress. Gay and bisexual men with HIV may be at greater risk for distress because of research linking HIV to accelerated aging. We examined associations between self-image and psychological distress, and potential mediating effects ( resilience, fitness engagement ) , and whether these relationships wer…
Psychosocial, Behavioral, and HIV-Related Health Among Men Living with HIV Who Have a History of Incarceration
Incarceration is intricately linked with the HIV epidemic, with incarcerated individuals exhibiting HIV prevalence rates three times higher than the general population. We used baseline data from the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS)/Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) Combined Cohort Study (MWCCS) to describe select health outcomes among men living with HIV (MWH) who have never been incarcerated and with a history of lifetime incarceration, …

Incidence of erectile dysfunction among middle-aged and aging sexual minority men living with or without HIV
Introduction: Erectile dysfunction (ED) has been established as a comorbidity among men living with HIV, but comparisons by HIV serostatus of ED incidence in a longitudinal follow-up cohort of men are lacking. We sought to evaluate the incidence of ED spanning a period of 12 years in a longitudinal cohort of sexual minority men (SMM) living with and without HIV. Methods: We analyzed ED incidence data for 625 participants in the longitudinal Multi…
Longitudinal Analysis of Overlapping Psychosocial Factors Predicting Incident Hospitalization Among Mixed HIV Serostatus Men who have Sex with Men in the Multicenter Aids Cohort Study
Effects of Erectile Dysfunction Drugs Use on T-Cells and Immune Markers on Men Who Have Sex with Men
Objective: Examine prospective relationships between erectile dysfunction (ED) drugs EDand CD4 and CD8 T-cells, and immune markers among men who have sex with men (MSM). Methods: Data from Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study, an observational prospective cohort study, with semi-annual follow-ups conducted in four U.S. centers from 1998 onwards was used. Marginal structural models using g-computation was fitted to estimate the mean differences for the e…

Psychometric assessment of a homophobia management scale among cisgender sexual minority men in midlife and older adulthood
Interpersonal management of homophobic stigma (e.g., selectively constructing one's social network; confronting stigma) is an understudied area of resilience among sexual minority people. Among a sample of cisgender sexual minority men (SMM; N = 798) in midlife and older adulthood, we assessed the psychometric properties and characterized the sociodemographic differences of our newly developed, theory-informed homophobia management scale. Data co…
Psychological Connection to the Gay Community and Negative Self-Appraisals in Middle-Aged and Older Men Who Have Sex With Men: The Mediating Effects of Fitness Engagement
Connection to the gay community may be a source of resilience for aging MSM by lessening negative self-appraisals and promoting strategies that address body image dissatisfaction and self-perceptions of aging. Interventions facilitating connections to the gay community may support healthy aging in this population
Characteristics and Longitudinal Patterns of Erectile Dysfunction Drug Use Among Men Who Have Sex with Men in the U.S
We investigated the longitudinal relationship between erectile dysfunction (ED) drug use with behavioral factors, including substance use and sexual activities in men who have sex with men from the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study during 1998–2016 ( n = 1636). We used a bivariate random-intercept model to evaluate ED drug use along with other behavioral factors to assess relationships between the two outcomes over time on a population level and also…
Social-environmental resiliencies protect against loneliness among HIV-Positive and HIV- negative older men who have sex with men: Results from the Multicenter Aids Cohort Study (Macs)
Influence of gender on receipt of guideline-based antiretroviral therapy in the era of Haart
United States HIV guidelines delineate preferred antiretroviral treatment (ART) and discourage use of sub-potent, toxic, or adversely interacting combinations. It is unclear how often patients receive guideline concordant ART and what factors are correlated with receiving guideline-inconsistent ART. The objective of this study was to assess ART reported by participants of the Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) and the Multicenter AIDS Cohort St…
Mortality in the Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy Era: Changing Causes of Death and Disease in the HIV Outpatient Study
BACKGROUND: AIDS-related death and disease rates have declined in the highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) era and remain low; however, current causes of death in HAART-treated patients remain ill defined. OBJECTIVE: To describe mortality trends and causes of death among HIV-infected patients in the HAART era. DESIGN: Prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study of participants in the HIV Outpatient Study who were treated from Jan…
Declining Morbidity and Mortality among Patients with Advanced Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection
BACKGROUND AND METHODS: National surveillance data show recent, marked reductions in morbidity and mortality associated with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). To evaluate these declines, we analyzed data on 1255 patients, each of whom had at least one CD4+ count below 100 cells per cubic millimeter, who were seen at nine clinics specializing in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in eight U.S. cities from Ja…
