Formative perceptions surrounding the use of a taggant-based adherence tool to measure antiretroviral therapy adherence in people with HIV
Adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is important in people with HIV (PWH). This study explores perceptions of a novel adherence measurement system (TruTag) using silica-based microparticles in ART pills that when scanned with a smartphone camera, indirectly measure adherence. Twenty PWH on ART were recruited from a community health center and operated the TruTag system during a semi-structured interview. Qualitative data were analyzed using…
The Syndemic Effects of Food Insecurity, Depression, and Gender-Based Violence on HIV Treatment Outcomes Among People with HIV in Zimbabwe
PrEPSteps
One of the key pillars of Ending the HIV Epidemic is ensuring adherence to oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Men who have sex with men (MSM) who also have substance use disorders experience multiple challenges to maintaining PrEP adherence. We developed a digital pill system (DPS) linked to a personalized adherence intervention, PrEPSteps, to address barriers to PrEP adherence, and tested the feasibility and acceptability of this system, …
Attitudes toward digital pill systems for antiretroviral therapy adherence among pregnant and postpartum women living with HIV in South Africa
Future research should explore ideal Reader systems to facilitate use among this population in SA, especially among persons who report low ART adherence or have unsuppressed HIV RNA when presenting for antenatal care
Mapping a psychosocial syndemic among methamphetamine‐using sexual minority men living with HIV
A network analysis of positive psychosocial factors and indication of suboptimal HIV care outcomes among Black women living with HIV
Black women living with HIV (BWLWH) face barriers that impact health outcomes. However, positive psychosocial indicators may influence HIV care outcomes. Among this cross-sectional study of 119 BWLWH, a network analysis was utilized to examine relationships between positive psychosocial factors and HIV-related health outcomes. A preliminary polychoric analysis was conducted to examine correlations between the variables, and the network analyzed c…
Structural vulnerabilities and PrEP awareness among Boston heterosexuals and people who inject drugs at risk for HIV
Little is known about biopsychosocial factors relating to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) awareness among people with either heterosexual or injection drug use HIV risk behaviors. Participants engaged in vaginal/anal sex with a person of the opposite sex (N = 515) or were people who injected drugs (PWID; N = 451) in the past 12 months from 2018-2019 in Boston, MA. We examined associations between PrEP awareness and: homelessness; perceived HIV-re…
The salience of structural barriers and behavioral health problems to ART adherence in people receiving HIV primary care in South Africa
Multilevel factors (individual and structural) influence adherence to antiretroviral therapy, particularly in high HIV prevalence areas such as South Africa. The present study examined the relative importance of structural barriers to HIV care and behavioral health factors, depression and alcohol use, in Khayelitsha, Cape Town, South Africa. People receiving HIV care in six primary care clinics in Khayelitsha (N = 194) completed the Center for Ep…
Leveraging A Digital Pill System to Understand Prevention-Effective Adherence to Oral Hiv Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Among Men Who Have Sex with Men with Substance Use
Cognitive Performance, as well as Depression, Alcohol Use, and Gender, predict Anti-Retroviral Therapy Adherence in a South African Cohort of People with HIV and Comorbid Major Depressive Disorder
Depression and cognitive impairment, which commonly coexist in people with HIV (PWH), have been identified as potential barriers to optimal antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence. We investigated associations between cognitive performance, depression (as well as other sociodemographic, psychosocial and psychiatric variables) and ART adherence in a South African cohort of PWH with comorbid major depressive disorder (MDD). Cognitive performance and…
The Relationship Between Harmful Alcohol Use and Antiretroviral Non-adherence in People Accessing HIV Treatment in Cape Town, South Africa
Intersecting Relationships of Psychosocial and Structural Syndemic Problems Among People with HIV in South Africa
Improving Detection of Depression in People Living with HIV
Improving the measurement of food insecurity among people with HIV in South Africa
Objective: Food insecurity is a structural barrier to HIV care in peri-urban areas in South Africa (SA), where approximately 80 % of households are moderately or severely food insecure. For people with HIV (PWH), food insecurity is associated with poor antiretroviral therapy adherence and survival rates. Yet, measurement of food insecurity among PWH remains a challenge. Design: The current study examines the factor structure of the nine-item Hous…
Addressing Syndemics and Self-care in Individuals with Uncontrolled HIV
Detecting Depression in People Living with HIV in South Africa
A multilevel examination of sleep, depression, and quality of life in people living with HIV/Aids
Sleep problems are prevalent in people living with HIV/AIDS; however, few studies examine how poor sleep affects mental health and quality of life longitudinally. A sample of people living with HIV/AIDS from a randomized trial ( N = 240; mean age = 47.18; standard deviation = 8.3; 71.4% male; 61.2% White) completed measures of depression (Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale), health-related quality of life (AIDS Clinical Trial Group Quality…
