Theory of change to develop a health and well-being complex intervention for people with HIV
INTRODUCTION: There is a high prevalence of poor mental health among people with HIV, intersecting with structural inequalities, stigma and co-morbidities. A new person-centred approach to care that utilises health coaching to prioritise health and well-being and connects people to existing sources of support or voluntary sector organisations (social prescribing) could benefit people with HIV. METHODS: Theory of Change (ToC) methodology was used …
An (un)restricted living
People living with HIV, who have access to treatment, now have normal life expectancy. However, stigma and discrimination continue to affect health and well-being. We conducted focus groups with people living with HIV (n = 37), and key informant interviews (n = 20) with clinical and non-clinical workers who support people with HIV between May and November 2023. We aimed to explore the ongoing challenges and concerns faced by people living with HI…
Deprivation and exposure to public activities during the Covid-19 pandemic in England and Wales
BACKGROUND: Differential exposure to public activities may contribute to stark deprivation-related inequalities in SARS-CoV-2 infection and outcomes but has not been directly investigated. We set out to investigate whether participants in Virus Watch-a large community cohort study based in England and Wales-reported differential exposure to public activities and non-household contacts during the autumn-winter phase of the COVID-19 pandemic accord…
Exploring Mechanisms of Action
SELPHI involves two interventions: (A) It provides one HIV self-testing (HIVST) kit; (B) It offers 3-monthly repeat HIVST kits if participants report ongoing risk. A logic model underpinned by the Behaviour Change Wheel informed the design of the intervention. SELPHI recruited 10,135 cis-men and trans people in England and Wales, all reporting anal sex with a man. This paper explores how the interventions were experienced and the pathways to impa…
Acceptability and potential impact of delivering sexual health promotion information through social media and dating apps to MSM in England
Overall, these findings support the development of new interventions that use dating apps and social media for sexual health promotion
Intimate partner violence, depression, and sexual behaviour among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men in the PROUD trial
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02065986 . Registered 19 February 2014 (retrospectively registered)
Resilience and Physical and Mental Well-Being in Adults with and Without HIV
Resilience has been related to improved physical and mental health, and is thought to improve with age. No studies have explored the relationship between resilience, ageing with HIV, and well-being. A cross sectional observational study performed on UK HIV positive (N = 195) and HIV negative adults (N = 130). Associations of both age and 'time diagnosed with HIV' with resilience (RS-14) were assessed, and the association of resilience with depres…
Health-related quality-of-life of people with HIV in the era of combination antiretroviral treatment
BACKGROUND: Combination antiretroviral therapy has substantially increased life-expectancy in people living with HIV, but the effects of chronic infection on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are unclear. We aimed to compare HRQoL in people with HIV and the general population. METHODS: We merged two UK cross-sectional surveys: the ASTRA study, which recruited participants aged 18 years or older with HIV from eight outpatient clinics in the U…
Recreational drug use, polydrug use, and sexual behaviour in HIV-diagnosed men who have sex with men in the UK
BACKGROUND: Recreational drug use in men who have sex with men (MSM) is of concern because it might be linked to the transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. Evidence about drug use in HIV-diagnosed MSM in the UK is limited by representativeness of the study populations. We describe patterns of drug use and associations with sexual behaviours in HIV-diagnosed MSM in the UK. METHODS: We used data from the cross-sectional ASTR…
Partners of people on ART - a New Evaluation of the Risks (The PARTNER study)
This observational study will provide missing information on the absolute risk of HIV transmission for both vaginal and anal sex when the index case is on ART with a VL<50 copies/mL in the absence of condom use
