Anna Junkins, Kristina Wilbekin Walker et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2025

We explored health beliefs related to anal cancer, and perceived benefits, barriers, and facilitators to screening among MWH and their HIV care providers in the U.S. South, where HIV incidence remains high. We conducted in-dept…

Open AccessHannah Tierney, Hannah R Tierney et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2025
Data on alcohol use trends in women living with HIV (WLWH) are lacking. We examine data collected before and across the COVID-19 pandemic (2014-2022) in WLWH and socio-demographically similar women living without HIV (WLWOH)(n = 1564; 67% WLWH) who self-reported alcohol use to establish and compare trends. Women were categorized into baseline groups based on use pattern from 10/2014 to 09/2017: abstinence (no alcohol at any visit), non-heavy drin…

This study sought to explore the role of motherhood an…

The Deep South is the epicenter of the HIV-epidemic in the United States, with rural AAs bearing the greatest burden.

The purpose of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of the socio-cultural contex…

Perceptions of intersectional stigma among diverse women living with HIV in the United States
Open AccessWhitney S Rice, Carmen H Logie et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2018Citada por: 27Referencias: 53
Attitudes and behavior that devalue individuals based upon their HIV status (HIV-related stigma) are barriers to HIV prevention, treatment, and wellbeing among women living with HIV. Other coexisting forms of stigma (e.g., racism, sexism) may worsen the effects of HIV-related stigma, and may contribute to persistent racial and gendered disparities in HIV prevention and treatment. Few studies examine perceptions of intersectional stigma among wome…
