“A Lot of Times, We Feel Disposable. Do you Understand? Like We Could Just Be Thrown Away.” Characterizing Consumer Perspectives on Substance Use Treatment Gaps
Open AccessAbigail K Winiker, Alizay Jalisi et al.ARTICLEContemporary Drug Problems2025
Background Participatory models can facilitate the design of substance use treatment programs that are best equipped to support their end users, yet many structural barriers limit people who use drugs from effectively engaging in decision-making roles. This study explored how well substance treatment programs are meeting the needs of a group of people who inject drugs (PWID), highlighting a persisting misalignment between their perceived treatmen…
Posttraumatic stress disorder symptomology among gay, bisexual, and other sexually minoritized cisgender men in the United States
Open AccessJohn Mark Wiginton, Sarah M Murray et al.ARTICLESSM - Mental Health2025
In the United States, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) disparities among sexually minoritized men (SMM) are well-documented, but diverse PTSD symptom manifestations and related vulnerabilities in this group are understudied. From October 2020 to January 2021, we collected cross-sectional demographic, HIV status, sexual behavior, and mental health data from 6,319 trauma-exposed SMM in the American Men’s Internet Survey. We used latent class an…
A mixed methods exploration of HIV and drug use disclosure in healthcare settings among HIV-positive women who inject drugs in Ukraine
Julia Burlaka, Shannon Fuller et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2025
Disclosing one's HIV status or drug use in healthcare settings has significant implications for public and individual health. It is related to reduced occupational risk of infection for medical providers, improved care, reduction in disease transmission, and other clinical benefits for patients. However, disclosure can be challenging and problematic due to its discrediting aspects. We explored HIV and drug use disclosure experiences in clinical s…

Multilevel experiences of carceral violence in Los Angeles, California
Abigail K Winiker, Evan L Eschliman et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2024
Transgender women face a disproportionate burden of carceral violence, or violence related to policing and the criminal legal system, with transgender women of colour experiencing even greater disparities. Several frameworks conceptualise the mechanisms through which violence impacts transgender women. However, none of them directly explore the role of carceral violence, particularly as it is experienced by transgender women themselves. Sixteen i…

Results highlight the potential synergistic effects of SC formed in the context of group-bas…

Barriers to Assessing and Treating Trauma in Primary Care and Opportunities for Improvement
Abigail K Winiker, Omeid Heidari et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2023
Background: Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) is a best practice for treating individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD), and primary care-based MOUD management can reduce treatment barriers among OUD patients. Individuals with OUD experience disproportionately high rates of trauma and violence, highlighting the importance of addressing trauma, mental health, and substance use concurrently. However, clear guidelines for trauma-informed tr…

HIV stigma and disclosure of alcohol use to physicians
Jeremy C Kane, Pia M Mauro et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2023
Alcohol use among persons living with HIV (PWH) can lead to poor disease outcomes. Disclosure of alcohol consumption to physicians is critical to inform HIV care. HIV stigma is associated with poor care engagement, and this relationship is partially mediated by depression. However, less is known about how HIV stigma and depression affect reporting of alcohol use to care providers. We used baseline data from an HIV intervention trial of 330 adult …

Branched sexuality and sexual health among Black cisgender sexual minority men in Baltimore, Maryland
John Mark Wiginton, Karin Tobin et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2023
Branched sexuality - in form of combinations of sexual identity, behaviour and attraction (e.g. heterosexual identity, sex with men, attraction to women) that differ from coincident combinations (e.g. gay/homosexual/same-gender-loving identity, sex with men, attraction to men) - has been observed among Black sexual minority men and may correlate with sexual health. Using baseline survey data from Black sexual minority men ( N = 323) enrolled in a…
Associations between social network characteristics and sexual minority disclosure concern among Black men who have sex with men living with and without HIV
Open AccessEvan L Eschliman, Ohemaa B Poku et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Issues2023Citada por: 3Referências: 70
In addition to the pervasive anti‐Black racism faced by Black people in the United States, Black men who have sex with men (BMSM) face sexual minority stigma and, among BMSM living with HIV, HIV‐related stigma. These multilevel social forces shape social networks, which are important sources of resources, support, and behavior regulation. This study quantitatively examined the relationship between social network characteristics and sexual minorit…

Social Networks, Stigma, and Hepatitis C Care Among Women Who Inject Drugs
A A Jones, Abenaa Jones et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs2022
This study explores the role of perceived HCV stigma and social networks on HCV care among people who inject drugs (PWID) of both sexes, and solely among women who inject drugs (WWID). Data were from 269 HCV positive PWID, community-recruited through street-based outreach in Baltimore, MD. We defined HCV stigma based on participants' perceptions of treatment by others and their need to conceal their HCV status. Among WWID, HCV stigma was linked w…
Understanding HIV/Aids prevention and care in the context of competing health and well-being priorities among Black men who have sex with men in Baltimore, MD
Lauren Dayton, Karin Tobin et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2021
This study examines health and well-being priorities among Black men who have sex with men (BMSM) in Baltimore, MD and their association with condom use. Among 148 sexually active BMSM, 43% were HIV positive. The majority ranked financial stability (68%), physical health (53%), and stable housing (59%) as top priorities. Fewer participants identified top priorities as mental health (37%), HIV prevention (35%), relationships with family (25%), and…
Associations between depressive symptoms and identity-specific social support among Black men who have sex with men (BMSM) in Baltimore City, Maryland
Abigail K Winiker, Kristin E Schneider et al.ARTICLEJournal of Gay & Lesbian Mental…2021
Results indicate that BMSM-specific social support is protective against depressive symptoms even in the context of other socioeconomic and structural vulnerabilities, suggesting that strengths-based interventions focused on building community and mutual support among BMSM may be valuable tools to prevent depression and promote positive mental health outcomes for members of this population

Abigail K Winiker, Karin Tobin et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2020
Background Rates of death from opioid overdose continue to rise in the United States. One harm reduction strategy designed to reduce fatal overdose risk among people who inject drugs (PWID) is an advisory to not use drugs alone. However, the feasibility and acceptability of this message have not been evaluated. Objectives: This paper explores the drug use practices of young PWID related to injecting alone and reasons for doing so. Methods: From 2…

Christina J Sun, Karin Tobin et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2019
Disclosure of same-sex behavior to health care providers (HCPs) by men who have sex with men (MSM) has been argued to be an important aspect of HIV prevention. However, Black MSM are less likely to disclose compared to white MSM. This analysis of data collected in the United States from 2006–2009 identified individual and social network characteristics of Black MSM (n = 226) that are associated with disclosure that may be leveraged to increase di…
