Strong Father–Child Relationships and Other Positive Childhood Experiences, Adverse Childhood Experiences, and Sexual Risk Factors for HIV among Young Adults Aged 19–24 Years, Namibia, 2019: A Cross-S…
Using cross-sectional data from the 2019 Namibia Violence Against Children and Youth Survey and sex-stratified multivariable models, we assessed the associations between four different positive childhood experiences (PCEs) and having ≥3 adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), including ≥3 ACE-PCE interaction terms, and seven sexual risk factors for HIV acquisition among young adults aged 19-24 years. One PCE, having a strong father-child relationsh…

APPG, Islamophobia and Anti-Muslim Racism
To those who say it is just a cartoon, I will not say, "It's only a statue", because I understand the strength of British feeling when it comes to our history, our culture and our identity. It is not just a cartoon and they are not just statues. They represent, symbolise and mean so much more to us as human beings. In conclusion, while this law would now protect civil order and emotional harm when it comes to secular and political figures such as…
Desecularisation and the ‘faith agenda’ in an era of austerity: Their impact on women’s and girls’ rights in the UK
This article tackles the conjoined gender impacts of two state-led agendas in the UK – the ‘faith agenda’ and the ‘austerity agenda’. We argue that the faith agenda has revisioned the relationship between the state and its citizens into a communitarian relationship mediated by religious organisations, while the austerity agenda has led to the withdrawal of state resources from key areas of social welfare provision and displaced responsibility for…
Direct and Indirect Effects of Heavy Alcohol Use on Clinical Outcomes in a Longitudinal Study of HIV Patients on ART
Time for justice, time for change! The place of academic and community partnerships in promoting local and global rights and challenging injustice
This paper reflects on a three-year research project involving academics and public, private and third sector partners in the UK and India. The team engaged with innovative international outreach research methods to question how listening to ‘voices of experience’ can inform and ‘outrage’ academic and community perspectives on human rights to create and promote local to international access to justice strategies. During the project Keele Universi…
Estimating per-act HIV transmission risk: A Systematic Review
BACKGROUND: Effective HIV prevention programs rely on accurate estimates of the per-act risk of HIV acquisition from sexual and parenteral exposures. We updated the previous risk estimates of HIV acquisition from parenteral, vertical, and sexual exposures, and assessed the modifying effects of factors including condom use, male circumcision, and antiretroviral therapy. METHODS: We conducted literature searches to identify new studies reporting da…

Cohesion, Multi-faithism and the Erosion of Secular Spaces in the UK: Implications for the Human Rights of Minority Women
This article explores the erosion of secular public culture in the UK and its implications for minority women whose bodies have become the battleground for the control of community representation. It argues that struggles for equality and secularism now overlap and have taken on a sense of urgency because it is the human rights of women that are being traded in the various social contracts that are emerging between state and the religious right m…
Women Migrants and Faith Organisations: Changing Regimes of Gender, Religion and Race in London
This piece is based on the experiences of Southall Black Sisters (SBS), a grass roots casework, advocacy and campaigning organisation for Black and minority women.1 By drawing on the experience of SBS, I seek to show how since 9/11 and the London bombings in July 2005, the British State's new approach to race relations involves the implementation of a 'faith' and 'cohesion' agenda, which represents the 'softer' face of its counter terrorism measu…

Pandemic Influenza: Implications for Programs Controlling for HIV Infection, Tuberculosis, and Chronic Viral Hepatitis
Among vulnerable populations during an influenza pandemic are persons with or at risk for HIV infection, tuberculosis, or chronic viral hepatitis. HIV-infected persons have higher rates of hospitalization, prolonged illness, and increased mortality from influenza compared with the general population. Persons with tuberculosis and chronic viral hepatitis may also be at increased risk of morbidity and mortality from influenza because of altered imm…

Circuit parties: Sexual behaviors and HIV disclosure practices among men who have sex with men at the White Party, Palm Springs, California, 2003
The syphilis epidemic among men who have sex with men (MSM) in major US cities and concomitant increases in high-risk sexual behavior, have raised concerns of increased HIV transmission in this population. Therefore, to provide information for health promotion and disease awareness efforts, we investigated sexual behaviors, partner selection preferences and HIV serostatus disclosure practices of MSM at the White Party in Palm Springs, California.…
