Exploring the Interplay of Movement Dispersion, Sleep, and Quality of Life Among Men With and Without HIV
Pure and total movement dispersion are measures of the spread of physical activity (PA) across the day, without (pure) and with (total) intensity. Men with HIV (MWH) tend to have lower PA, more sedentary behavior, and poorer sleep quality and quality of life than men without HIV (MWOH). This study explores the relationship of pure and total movement dispersion with sleep quality, total sleep time, and quality-of-life (QoL) among MWH and MWOH. Thi…
Association of experienced stigma in healthcare settings with health outcomes among Black women living with HIV
Glucocorticoid Receptor Function and Cognitive Performance in Women With HIV
OBJECTIVE: Alterations in glucocorticoid receptor (GCR) function may be a risk factor for cognitive complications among older people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We evaluated whether HIV serostatus and age modify the GCR function-cognition association among women. METHODS: Eighty women with HIV ( n = 40, 50 years of age [older]) and 80 HIV-uninfected women ( n = 40 older, n = 40 younger) enrolled in the Women's Interagency HIV Study c…
Patient Health Literacy and Communication with Providers Among Women Living with HIV
Closing the Gap
BACKGROUND: Combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) has significantly increased survival among HIV-positive adults in the United States (U.S.) and Canada, but gains in life expectancy for this region have not been well characterized. We aim to estimate temporal changes in life expectancy among HIV-positive adults on ART from 2000-2007 in the U.S. and Canada. METHODS: Participants were from the North American AIDS Cohort Collaboration on Research…
Effect of Early versus Deferred Antiretroviral Therapy for HIV on Survival
BACKGROUND: The optimal time for the initiation of antiretroviral therapy for asymptomatic patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is uncertain. METHODS: We conducted two parallel analyses involving a total of 17,517 asymptomatic patients with HIV infection in the United States and Canada who received medical care during the period from 1996 through 2005. None of the patients had undergone previous antiretroviral therapy. In ea…
Association of Cigarette Smoking With HIV Prognosis Among Women in the Haart Era
Objective. We assessed the association of cigarette smoking with the effectiveness of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) among low-income women. Methods. Data were analyzed from the Women’s Interagency HIV Study, a multisite longitudinal study up to 7.9 years for 924 women representing 72% of all women who initiated HAART between July 1, 1995, and September 30, 2003. Results. When Cox’s regression was used after control for age, race, h…
Longitudinal Relationships Between Use of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy and Satisfaction With Care Among Women Living With HIV/Aids
Objectives. We used longitudinal data to examine the roles of 4 dimensions of patient satisfaction as both predictors and outcomes of use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) among women in the United States with HIV/AIDS. Methods. Generalized estimating equations were used to analyze time-lagged satisfaction–HAART relationships over 8 years in the Women’s Interagency HIV Study. Results. Multivariate models showed that, over time, HAAR…
Driving Status and Risk of Entry Into Long-Term Care in Older Adults
Objectives. Given the importance of driving in American society, older non-drivers may be unable to meet basic needs while living independently. We assessed whether not driving is an independent risk factor for entering long-term care (LTC) institutions. Methods. Data were used from 1593 older adults who participated in the Salisbury Eye Evaluation cohort study and completed an additional telephone survey. Questions on driving status and LTC entr…
Changes in Sexual Behavior Among HIV-Infected Women After Initiation of Haart
Objectives. We assessed the association between initiation of highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) regimens and sexual risk behaviors among HIVinfected women. Methods. We analyzed data from 724 women who initiated HAART between January 1996 and January 2001 and who had pre-HAART viral loads at or above 400 copies per milliliter. Results. Sexually active women were less likely (odds ratio [OR] = 0.79) to report 2 or more partners during …
Dissatisfaction with medical care among women with HIV
Studies have shown that women with HIV/AIDS in the USA are less likely than men to have access to appropriate health care and to utilize services, including the latest antiretroviral drug therapies. One explanation for this underutilization is patient dissatisfaction with medical care. Dissatisfaction with care has been shown to be associated not only with treatment underutilization, but also with discontinuity of care and poor clinical outcomes.…
Effectiveness of highly active antiretroviral therapy among HIV-1 infected women
Study objective: To describe the impact of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) on mortality, morbidity, and markers of HIV disease progression in HIV infected women. Design: Data collected from the Women's Interagency HIV Study, a prospective cohort study that enrolled women between October 1994 and November 1995. Setting: Six clinical consortia based in five cities in the United States (New York, NY; Washington, DC; Los Angeles, CA; San…
The Effect of Sexual and Physical Violence on Risky Sexual Behavior and STDs Among a Cohort of HIV Seropositive Women
