Trauma Across the Life Span and Multisystem Morbidity in Women With HIV
OBJECTIVE: Sexual and physical abuse are highly prevalent among women living with HIV (WLWH) and are risk factors for the development of mental health and substance use disorders (MHDs, SUDs), and cognitive and medical comorbidities. We examined empirically derived patterns of trauma, MHD, and SUD, and associations with later cognitive and health outcomes. METHODS: A total of 1027 WLWH (average age = 48.6 years) in the Women's Interagency HIV Stu…
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…

Incarceration and Number of Sexual Partners After Incarceration Among Vulnerable US Women, 2007–2017
Objectives. To examine whether women’s incarceration increases numbers of total and new sexual partners. Methods. US women with or at risk for HIV in a multicenter cohort study answered incarceration and sexual partner questions semiannually between 2007 and 2017. We used marginal structural models to compare total and new partners at visits not following incarceration with all visits following incarceration and visits immediately following incar…
Insurance Coverage, and Having a Regular Provider, and Utilization of Cancer Follow-up and Noncancer Health Care Among Childhood Cancer Survivors
The objective of this study was to assess the role of health insurance coverage on patterns of health care utilization and access to cancer-related follow-up and non-cancer care among childhood cancer survivors (CCS). Cross-sectional survey design was used. Childhood cancer survivors were from 2 large hospitals in Los Angeles County. In all, 235 were identified through the Los Angeles Cancer Surveillance Program, diagnosed between the ages of 5 a…

Randomized Trial of a Health Coaching Intervention to Enhance Retention in Care
Prevalence, Comorbidity, and Correlates of Psychiatric and Substance Use Disorders and Associations with HIV Risk Behaviors in a Multisite Cohort of Women Living with HIV
We used the World Health Organization's Composite International Diagnostic Interview to determine the prevalence, comorbidity, and correlates of lifetime and 12-month behavioral health disorders in a multisite cohort of 1027 women living with HIV in the United States. Most (82.6%) had one or more lifetime disorders including 34.2% with mood disorders, 61.6% with anxiety disorders, and 58.3% with substance use disorders. Over half (53.9%) had at l…

The Impact of Substance Use on Adherence to Antiretroviral Therapy Among HIV-Infected Women in the United States
Randomized Controlled Trial of an Internet Application to Reduce HIV Transmission Behavior Among HIV Infected Men Who have Sex with Men
Factors associated with non-adherence to antiretroviral therapy in the SUN study
BACKGROUND: Adherence of 95% or greater to highly active combination antiretroviral therapy is generally considered necessary to achieve optimal virologic suppression in HIV-infected patients. Understanding factors associated with poor adherence is essential to improve patient compliance, maximize virologic suppression, and reduce morbidity and mortality. METHODS: We evaluated baseline data from 528 patients taking antiretrovirals, enrolled from …
Social environment and asthma
BACKGROUND: The relationship between asthma and socio-economic status remains unclear. The authors investigated how neighbourhood, school and community social environments were associated with incident asthma in Southern California schoolchildren. METHODS: New-onset asthma was measured over 3 years of follow-up in the Children's Health Study cohort. Multilevel random-effects models assessed associations between social environments and asthma, adj…

Effect of brief safer-sex counseling by medical providers to HIV-1 seropositive patients
OBJECTIVE: To test the efficacy of brief, safer-sex counseling by medical providers of HIV-positive patients during medical visits. SETTING: Six HIV clinics in California. DESIGN: Clinics were randomized to intervention arms evaluated with cohorts of randomly selected patients measured before and after the intervention. PARTICIPANTS: Five-hundred and eighty-five HIV-positive persons, sexually active prior to enrollment. INTERVENTIONS: Prevention …
