  • Opioid risk-reduction strategies for people with HIV on chronic opioid therapy

  • Acceptability of Long-Acting Injectable Antiretroviral Therapy Among People with HIV Receiving Care at Three Ryan White Funded Clinics in the United States

    Open AccessXavier A Erguera, Kimberly A Koester et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2024

    Understanding the acceptability of long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy (LAI-ART) among people with HIV (PWH), especially priority populations, is essential for effective implementation. We conducted semi-structured interviews with patients in three Ryan White-funded HIV clinics in San Francisco, Chicago, and Atlanta. We employed maximal variation sampling across age, gender, race, ethnicity, and time living with HIV and oversampled for …

  • Differences in trauma-informed care implementation by clinic-level factors across Ryan White HIV clinics in the Southeastern United States

    Ameeta S Kalokhe, Elizabeth Adam et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2023

    Trauma is common among people with HIV (PWH) and associated with low HIV care engagement, thus trauma-informed care (TIC) integration within HIV services is critical. From December 2019 to April 2020, we conducted surveys with 321 administrators, providers, and staff of 46 Ryan White HIV clinics (RWCs) in 8 Southeastern U.S. states to assess level of TIC implementation and clinic-level factors associated with TIC adoption. The mean score for TIC …

  • Post-traumatic stress disorder and risky opioid use among persons living with HIV and chronic pain

    Elenore P Bhatraju, Elenore Bhatraju et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2023

    Persons with HIV (PWH) experience chronic pain and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) at higher rates than the general population, and more often receive opioid medications to treat chronic pain. A known association exists between PTSD and substance use disorders, but less is known about the relationship between PTSD and risky opioid use among PWH taking prescribed opioid medications. In this observational study of PWH on long-term opioid medi…

  • Understanding and addressing privacy and confidentiality concerns associated with the provision of mobile HIV care

    Amulya Marellapudi, Sophia Ahmed Hussen et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2022

    Less than half the people with HIV (PLWH) in the United States (US) are retained in HIV care, underscoring the importance of novel reengagement and retention strategies. Mobile HIV clinics (MHCs) are one such strategy, but privacy and confidentiality concerns have limited their use. As part of a larger mixed-methods study in Atlanta, Georgia, from June 2019- July 2020, we conducted 41 qualitative interviews with key stakeholders to explore confid…

  • Ending the HIV Epidemic for Persons Left Behind in the Advances of HIV

    Open AccessLisa R Metsch, Daniel J Feaster et al.ARTICLEResearch on Social Work Practice2022

    The advent of antiretroviral therapy and biomedical prevention has transformed HIV from a fatal disease to a chronic condition where people with HIV (PWH) can live long, healthy lives. Yet, there remains a subset of PWH left behind from receiving timely HIV diagnosis and care. Striking inequalities in access to resources, socioeconomic disparities, and social forces have prevented certain PWH from achieving significant health and quality of life …

  • Predictors of pain-related functional impairment among people living with HIV on long-term opioid therapy

    David P Serota, Christine Capozzi et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2021

    People living with HIV (PLWH) have high levels of functional impairment due to pain, also called pain interference. Long-term opioid therapy (LTOT) is commonly prescribed for chronic pain among PLWH. We sought to better understand the predictors of pain interference, measured with the Brief Pain Inventory Interference subscale (BPI-I), among PLWH with chronic pain on LTOT. Using a prospective cohort of PLWH on LTOT we developed a model to identif…

  • Hazardous alcohol use is associated with greater pain interference and prescription opioid misuse among persons living with HIV and chronic pain

  • Painful Subjects

    Open AccessJennifer J Carroll, Marlene C Lira et al.ARTICLEMedical Anthropology Quarterly2021Cited by: 2References: 35

    Public narratives often attribute the opioid overdose epidemic in the United States to liberal prescribing practices by health care providers. Consequently, new monitoring guidelines for the management of opioid prescriptions in patients with chronic pain have become recognized as key strategies for slowing this tide of overdose deaths. This article examines the social and ontological terrain of opioid-based pain management in an HIV clinic in th…

  • Provider opioid prescribing practices and the belief that opioids keep people living with HIV engaged in care

    Judith I Tsui, Alexander Y Walley et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2019

    We describe HIV providers' opioid prescribing practices and assess whether belief that chronic opioid therapy (COT) keeps people living with HIV (PLWH) engaged in care is associated with differences in these practices among providers from two HIV clinics. We conducted logistic regression to evaluate the association between the belief that COT keeps PLWH engaged in care and at least one component of guideline-recommended care (i.e., urine drug tes…

  • HIV Physicians and Chronic Opioid Therapy

  • HIV testing rates among pregnant women in Managua, Nicaragua, 2010-2011

    Open AccessJonathan Colasanti, Marco Lorio Rugama et al.ARTICLERevista Panamericana de Salud…2013

    Despite significant improvements in HIV testing rates from 2010 to 2011, the numbers tested remain below the goal recommended by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) in order to achieve virtual elimination of mother-to-child transmission by 2015 (> 95%). Patterns of testing demonstrated increased rates coinciding with a health fair in District 6.1, but effects were short-lived. Therefore, new approaches are necessary to bolster prenatal HI…
