PrEP and HIV prevention decision-making among social network members of women who have experienced incarceration
Andrea K Knittel, Jamie B Jackson et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2023
Incarceration and HIV are a syndemic for US women, yet very few women who have experienced incarceration use pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV.

We used an inductive approach to analyse data from four focus groups undertaken with w…

In the South, people living with HIV experience worse health outcomes than in other geographic regions, likely due to regional political, structural, and socioeconomic factors. We describe the neighborhoods of women (n = 1,800) living with and without HIV in the Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS), a cohort with Southern sites in Chapel Hill, NC; Atlanta, GA; Birmingham, AL; Jackson, MS; and Miami, FL; and non-Southern sites in Brooklyn, NY; Bro…
Structural barriers to comprehensive, coordinated HIV care

Structural barriers to HIV care are particularly challenging in the US South, which has higher HIV diagnosis rates, poverty, uninsurance, HIV stigma, and rurality, and fewer comprehensive public health programs versus other US regions. Focusing on one structural barrier, we examined geographic accessibility to comprehensive, coordinated HIV care (HIVCCC) in the US South. We integrated publicly available data to study travel time to HIVCCC in 16 S…
