Preferences for longer acting pre-exposure prophylaxis in transgender and gender expansive texans: Centering gender affirming hormone therapy
The prevalence of HIV is higher in the transgender population than in the general population, and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an effective biomedical HIV prevention strategy for the prevention of HIV. However, the transgender and gender-expansive community faces several challenges to PrEP uptake and adherence. This community-based participatory study was conducted to understand preferences for long-acting PrEP modalities better. Data were …
Sexual Activity as Self-Injury: A Scoping Review
Suicide and other self-injurious behaviors (SIB) are significant causes of morbidity and mortality as well as healthcare costs. Sexual risk behaviors are associated with many SIB, and sexual activities may act as SIB as well. In this scoping review, we consider ways in which sexual activity has been conceptualized as SIB - types of sexual activities as a form of self-injury - and cases in which sexual activities as SIB have been classified as dir…
Counting, Coping, and Navigating the Flux: A Focused Ethnographic Study of HIV and Diabetes Self-Management
Approximately 10–15% of people living with HIV are also diagnosed with diabetes. To manage their two chronic conditions, people must undertake certain activities and adopt behaviors. Due to overlapping symptoms, complex medication regimens, and heavy patient workloads, implementing these self-management practices can be difficult. In this focused ethnography, data were collected from semi-structured interviews and limited participant-observation …

Self-Management Model fails to Predict Quality of Life for People Living with Dual Diagnosis of HIV and Diabetes
Latinx with Type 2 Diabetes: Perceptions of Cognitive Health
Emotional Distress and Self-Rated Health Among Middle-Aged and Older Chinese Americans with Type 2 Diabetes
Illness perceptions as a mediator between emotional distress and management self-efficacy among Chinese Americans with type 2 diabetes
Objectives: Emotional distress and illness perceptions have been linked to patients' self-efficacy for diabetes management. This study, guided by Leventhal's Self-Regulatory Model, explores the direct effects of emotional distress (diabetes distress and depressive symptoms) on diabetes management self-efficacy, and the indirect effects through illness perceptions among Chinese Americans with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Design: Data were obtained from…
A Personal Touch: The Most Important Strategy for Recruiting Latino Research Participants
People from non-White racial groups and other underserved populations, including Latinos, are frequently reluctant to participate in research. Yet their participation into research is foundational to producing information that researchers and health care providers need to address health disparities. The purpose of this article is to describe challenges we have encountered along with culturally relevant strategies we used in five research studies …
Predictors of dual control of HIV and diabetes
Diabetes is one of the most frequently diagnosed comorbidities in individuals living with HIV. Dual control of both conditions is essential because both diseases negatively impact the immune and vascular systems. The purpose of this retrospective study was to assess the factors associated with dual control of HIV and diabetes. Patients from a large urban Ryan White-funded HIV clinic with a diagnosis of diabetes were identified; inclusion criteria…
Evaluation of the Spoken Knowledge in Low Literacy in Diabetes Scale for Use With Mexican Americans
Purpose: This article evaluates the Spoken Knowledge in Low Literacy in Diabetes (SKILLD) questionnaire, a measure of essential knowledge for type 2 diabetes self-management, after it was modified for English- and Spanish-speaking Mexican Americans. Method: We collected surveys (SKILLD, demographic, acculturation) and blood for A1C analysis from 72 community-recruited participants to analyze the SKILLD’s internal consistency, interrater reliabili…
A Woman's Lived Experience With Directly Observed Therapy for Tuberculosis—A Case Study
This is a case study to investigate the lived experience of tuberculosis (TB) treatment for a Hispanic female. The theme was accumulating aggravation. Her daily life was interrupted with appointments and negative side effects. She had to wear a mask that made her feel isolated. She felt ignored by her doctors. Although she experienced the opposite feeling of being overly observed, the informant began to feel like she was always being watched. The…
