Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy Use and HIV Transmission Risk Behaviors Among Individuals Who Are HIV Infected and Were Recently Released From Jail
We evaluated highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) use and risk behaviors among 177 inmates who were HIV infected and were released and reincarcerated in San Francisco, Calif, jails over a 12-month period. During the month preceding reincarceration, HIV transmission risk behaviors were common among respondents, and 59% of those with a history of antiretroviral use were not taking HAART. HAART discontinuation was independently associated w…
Attempted Suicide Among Transgender Persons
To determine the independent predictors of attempted suicide among transgender persons we interviewed 392 male-to-female (MTF) and 123 female-to-male (FTM) individuals. Participants were recruited through targeted sampling, respondent-driven sampling, and agency referrals in San Francisco. The prevalence of attempted suicide was 32% (95% CI = 28% to 36%). In multivariate logistic regression analysis younger age (<25 years), depression, a history …
Cost-effectiveness of prevention referrals for high-risk HIV-negatives in San Francisco
We retrospectively assessed the cost-effectiveness of providing prevention referrals to high-risk seronegatives at HIV test sites in San Francisco. We examined the costs and effects from the perspectives of society and the San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH). Cost categories assessed included referral materials, counsellor training and time required to make referrals, prevention services and the value of client time. Effect data are…
Barriers to getting needed services for Ryan White Care clients
To determine why HIV-infected persons do not access needed services, we interviewed clients of Ryan White CARE-funded agencies in San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin Counties. From July to September 1996, we interviewed 519 clients receiving services at 65 CARE-funded sites. Just over half the clients (54.5%) had at least one unmet service need in the previous four months; persons in an unstable living situation and those with lower perceived heal…
Reducing financial barriers to HIV-related medical care
We evaluated whether the Ryan White CARE Act, which funds medical care and supportive services for low-income HIV-infected persons, equalizes health service use in San Francisco. Clients at nine CARE (n = 300) and four non-CARE (n = 172) funded sites completed self-administered questionnaires. There were no significant differences between CARE and non-CARE clients with respect to physician visits, hospitalization or emergency room use in the prev…
Psychosocial Histories, Social Environment, and the HIV Risk Behaviors of Injection and Noninjection Drug Using Homeless Youths
Injection drug use is a common risk behavior for HIV infection among homeless, runaway and street youths. However, the psychosocial histories and current social environment of these youths are not well understood. The authors recruited 186 homeless, runaway and street youths using systematic street-based sampling methods, and assessed psychosocial histories, current daily activities, and sexual and drug-related risk behaviors using qualitative an…

Sociocultural aspects of blindness in an Egyptian delta hamlet
Through ophthalmological exams, structured interviews and participant observation, this study examines the experience of blindness in rural Egypt, and finds that villagers' subjective assessments of their vision differ substantially from ophthalmic measurements of their vision. Individuals with profound visual loss remain independent in their daily activities and contribute to their families' subsistence. While they may agree that they have "weak…
