High Prevalence of Unhealthy Alcohol Use Among Persons with HIV, Viral Non-suppression and Any Alcohol Use in Mbarara, Uganda
Open AccessRebecca Fisk-Hoffman, Allen Kekibiina et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2026
Unhealthy alcohol use is associated with HIV viral non-suppression. It is unclear how common unhealthy alcohol use is among non-suppressed persons with HIV (PWH) who drink alcohol. We conducted chart reviews to recruit PWH in Uganda with recent viral non-suppression for a study on the efficacy of gabapentin for promoting viral suppression among those with unhealthy alcohol use. Of the 288 PWH screened, 87% self-reported unhealthy alcohol use on t…
Intersectional Stigma and Health of People Living with HIV on ART Who Use Alcohol in Southwestern Uganda
Open AccessSarah A Gutin, Esther C Atukunda et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2026
HIV, TB, and alcohol use are stigmatized conditions that lead to poor care engagement and health outcomes. Stigmatized traits can operate independently or be intersectional. We examined the relationships between intersectional HIV-, TB-, and alcohol-related stigma on poorer perceived health among people with HIV (PWH) receiving antiretroviral therapy in a study examining TB infection risk among PWH in HIV care in southwestern Uganda (2022-2023). …
Depression among people living with tuberculosis and tuberculosis/HIV coinfection in Ukraine
Open AccessAnna Salnikova, Olena Makarenko et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2025
BACKGROUND: Depressive disorders are associated with poor treatment outcomes, physical health, and quality of life among people living with TB (PLWTB) and TB/HIV (PLWTBHIV). Data on depression among PLWTB/HIV are limited in Ukraine. OBJECTIVES: This cross-sectional study aimed to examine depression risk and its correlates and describe the willingness to seek depression treatment among PLWTB/HIV in Ukraine. METHODS: This secondary analysis include…

Mobile addiction treatment and harm reduction services as tools to address health inequities
Open AccessAllyson Pinkhover, Kelly Celata et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024
Opioid overdose deaths continue to increase in the US. Recent data show disproportionately high and increasing overdose death rates among Black, Latine, and Indigenous individuals, and people experiencing homelessness. Medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) can be lifesaving; however, only a fraction of eligible individuals receive them. Our goal was to describe our experience promoting equitable MOUD access using a mobile delivery model. We …
A Qualitative Study of Health Equity’s Role in Community Coalition Development
Open AccessSadie Chen, Galya Walt et al.ARTICLEHealth Education & Behavior2024
Opioid overdose deaths are dramatically increasing in the United States and disproportionately affecting minority communities, with the increasing presence of fentanyl exacerbating this crisis. Developing community coalitions is a long-standing strategy used to address public health issues. However, there is a limited understanding of how coalitions operate amid a serious public health crisis. To address this gap, we leveraged data from the HEALi…

Stigma and other correlates of sharing injection equipment among people with HIV in St. Petersburg, Russia
Open AccessSimeon D Kimmel, Jeffrey H Samet et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2023
Stigma that people with HIV who inject drugs experience negatively impacts HIV and substance use care, but stigma's association with sharing injection equipment is not known. This is a cross-sectional analysis of data from two studies of people with HIV reporting drug injection ( N = 319) in St. Petersburg, Russia (September 2018-December 2020). We used logistic regression to examine associations between HIV stigma and substance use stigma scores…

The impacts of Covid-19 on structural inequities faced by people living with HIV who inject drugs
Open AccessJennifer J Carroll, Sarah L Rossi et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Drug…2023
Pandemic responses should account for the unique vulnerabilities of PWID with HIV to avoid worsening the structural violence they already experience. Wherever the pandemic decreased structural barriers, such as institutional, administrative, and bureaucratic challenges and state violence enacted by police and other elements of the criminal justice system, such changes should be protected

Police abuse and care engagement of people with HIV who inject drugs in Ukraine
Open AccessSamantha F Schoenberger, Bulat Idrisov et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2022
Police abuse affects people who inject drugs (PWID), including those with HIV, and negatively impacts care engagement. This cross-sectional study evaluated police abuse among PWID receiving MOUD (medication for opioid use disorder) living with HIV and associations with HIV treatment adherence and receipt of NGO services. We assessed lifetime and past six-month rates of police abuse among a cohort of Ukrainian PWID with HIV receiving MOUD ( n = 19…

Stigma and ART initiation among people with HIV and a lifetime history of illicit drug use in Saint-Petersburg, Russia–A prospective cohort analysis
Open AccessMarina V Vetrova, Marina Vetrova et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Drug…2022
In this Russian cohort of HIV-positive, ART-naïve PWID, stigma did not change over time and was not associated with ART initiation. Addressing stigma alone is unlikely to increase ART initiation rates in this population. Reducing further existing structural barriers, e.g., by promoting equal access to ART and the value of substance-use treatment for ART treatment success should complement stigma-reduction approaches

Public narratives often attribute the opioid overdose epidemic in the United States to liberal prescribing practices by health care providers. Consequently, new monitoring guidelines for the management of opioid prescriptions in patients with chronic pain have become recognized as key strategies for slowing this tide of overdose deaths. This article examines the social and ontological terrain of opioid-based pain management in an HIV clinic in th…
Impact of mobile health-enhanced supportive supervision and supply chain management on appropriate integrated community case management of malaria, diarrhoea, and pneumonia in children 2-59 months
Open AccessGodfrey Biemba, Boniface Chiluba et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2020
BACKGROUND: Despite progress made over the past twenty years, child mortality remains high, with 5.3 million children under five years having died in 2018 globally. Pneumonia, diarrhoea, and malaria remain among the commonest causes of under-five mortality; contributing 15%, 8%, and 5% of global mortality respectively. Recent evidence shows that integrated community case management (iCCM) of pneumonia, diarrhoea, and malaria can reduce under-five…
Linking HIV-positive people in addiction care to HIV services in St. Petersburg, Russia – Mixed-methods implementation study of strengths-based case management
Open AccessKarsten Lunze, Tetiana Kiriazova et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2020
Access to HIV services for HIV-positive patients in addiction care is challenging in Russia, because both care systems are organised independently from each other. Strengths-based case management is an effective strategy to connect people with HIV (PHIV) to HIV care. This mixed-methods study's objective was to investigate implementation of a case management intervention in St. Petersburg, Russia, designed to connect PHIV who inject drugs to HIV c…

Addressing the burden of post-conflict surgical disease – Strategies from the North Caucasus
Open AccessKarsten Lunze, Fatima I LunzeARTICLEGlobal Public Health2011
The 2004 terror attack on a school in Beslan, North Caucasus, with more than 1300 children and their families taken hostage and 334 people killed, ended after extreme violence. Following the disaster, many survivors with blast ear injuries developed complications because no microsurgery services were available in the region. Here, we present our strategies in North Ossetia to strengthen subspecialty surgical care in a region of instable security …

Several strategies have been identified as having the potential to reduce the prevalence of tobacco use in Russia and decrease tobacco-related national health and economic burden: adjusting national tobacco policy by raising tobacco tax from the current lowest level in Europe to at least 70%; consequent enforcement of a complete smoking ban in public places; marketing restrictions; and smoking cessation interventions integrated into primary care.…

“It is easier for me to shoot up”
Tetiana Kiriazova, Karsten Lunze et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2017
Many HIV-positive people who inject drugs (PWID) globally are not receiving HIV care. This represents a major challenge among key populations to end the global HIV epidemic. This qualitative study explored the process and associated barriers of linking HIV-positive PWID who are in addiction treatment to HIV care in St. Petersburg, Russia. We conducted three focus groups and seven semi-structured interviews with participants in the LINC ("Linking …
