Understanding the role of intersectional identity constructs on psychological well-being of Latino men who have sex with men (LMSM) in San Diego, California
Background: Latino men who have sex with men (LMSM) experience substantial mental health inequities, partly due to intersectional stigma related to their Latino, masculine (i.e., conceptualized as a spectrum of gendered expectations, where both endorsement and non-endorsement of traditional masculine norms shape experience), and sexual identities. While prior research has examined identity valence (e.g., internalized stigma, pride) and magnitude …
Patient-provider communication and the role of PrEP coordinators
Despite the proven effectiveness of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in preventing HIV infection, significant disparities in its uptake persist, particularly among HIV priority populations in Arizona, USA. Patient-provider communication plays a vital role in facilitating PrEP access, especially when discussing sexuality and HIV-related risk behaviour. To explore how communication dynamics shape HIV prevention services, we conducted 24 semi-structu…
Examining the Interplay Between Preexposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and Gender-Related Stigmas as Barriers for PrEP Uptake Among Transgender Women in Tijuana, Mexico
Implications and Lessons Learned While Using Social Media Advertisements to Promote Longitudinal Social Network Study Participation in Latino Men Who Have Sex with Men (LMSM)
Sexual Identity Development and Social Ecological Facilitators and Barriers of PrEP Uptake and Adherence Among Latinx Men Who Have Sex with Men
Comorbidities among persons living with HIV (PLWH) in Florida
People living with HIV (PLWH) experience a higher rate of age-related comorbidities at younger ages. Understanding common comorbidities among PLWH and their relationship to one another could be significant in improving aging for PLWH. The goal of the present study is to identify the most common comorbidities among PLWH and the relationship between them using network analysis. We used abstracted electronic medical record (EMR) data of PLWH from th…
Applying the social ecological model to explore HIV-related stigma in Florida
The purpose of this study is to describe human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related stigma and strategies to reduce it in Florida within the context of the social ecological model (SEM). Qualitative surveys were distributed at community events, advisory meetings, and conferences via electronic and paper-based methods to persons living with and without HIV over an 8-month period in 2018. A directed content analysis was used to code the responses o…

Condom use likelihood within the context of PrEP and TasP among men who have sex with men in Florida
Despite the development of targeted interventions for men who have sex with men, this population continues to comprise the majority of new HIV diagnoses. Though condoms are highly efficacious, some sexually active MSM use sero-sorting as a method of HIV prevention. This study aimed to characterize: (1) differences between partner sero-status and condom use likelihood, and (2) demographic, behavioral, and knowledge-related factors influencing cond…
A cross-sectional study of factors associated with Covid-19 testing among people who inject drugs
We identified several factors independently associated with COVID-19 testing and multiple touchpoints where COVID-19 testing could be scaled up for PWID, such as SUD treatment programs and syringe service programs. Integrated health services are needed to improve access to rapid, free COVID-19 testing in this vulnerable population
Examining Geographical Differences in the HIV Care Continuum Among Men Who Have Sex with Men in Mexico
We analyzed data collected by the Encuesta de Sexo Entre Hombres study from 15,233 Mexican men who have sex with men (MSM) between May-July 2017 to examine differences in the HIV care continuum. Data were stratified into 6 geographical regions. Prevalence ratios assessed associations between region and care outcomes. Among participants never testing HIV positive (n = 13,583), 66.1% had ever been tested and 43.0% in the past year. Among HIV-positi…
Post-immigration factors affecting retention in HIV care and viral suppression in Latin American and Caribbean immigrant populations in the United States
PrEP awareness among people living with HIV in Florida
In 2017, Florida ranked 2nd nationally in prevalence and incidence rates of HIV infections in the United States. Due to the high burden of HIV and low viral suppression in Florida, it is of increased importance to study methods of HIV prevention such as preexposure prophylaxis(PrEP) in this state. Our study aimed to examine correlates of PrEP awareness among PLWH in Florida and describe patterns of PrEP awareness/information sources. Using data c…
The Florida Cohort study
In 2013, Florida had the highest rate of new HIV infections and only 56% of persons living with HIV (PLWH) were virally suppressed. In response, we initiated a new HIV cohort in Florida to better understand issues affecting HIV health outcomes. This manuscript will describe the procedures of the Florida Cohort; summarize information regarding enrollment, follow-up, and findings to date; and discuss challenges and lessons learned during the establ…

Gender, age, and ethnic differences in offending behavior among Hispanic/Latino criminal justice clients
Hispanic/Latinos are disproportionately represented in the criminal justice system. Using convenience sampling, the present study examined the lifetime and recent offending behavior of Hispanic/Latinos involved in community corrections in Miami, Florida. Descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted. Participants were mostly male (59.7%), less than 40 years old (84.1%), and almost half were of Cuban descent …
