Self-reported and Point-of-Care Biomarkers of Substance Use Measures Among Older Adults with HIV from Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Measuring alcohol and other drug (AOD) use remains challenging in HIV care in low- and middle-income countries, where self-report and point-of-care (POC) urine biomarkers capture different time windows. Among 2,059 people with HIV aged 40 years or older across eight IeDEA clinics (2020 to 2022), we examined what self-reported AOD use (AUDIT, ASSIST) and POC urine tests (uEtG for alcohol; 5-panel drug screen) each capture. Self-report identified m…
Evaluating primary health care utilization among lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals in Canada with a view to inform more equitable health measures
Canada is advancing several reforms to strengthen primary health care. Although lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals experience a higher burden of some health conditions, they remain largely absent from these reforms, partly because of limited data. We assessed differences in primary care utilization between LGB and heterosexual individuals to address this gap. We used data from 91,172 heterosexual and 2,550 LGB participants in the 2015–2…
Earlier First Anal Sex Predicts Engagement in Chemsex Among Men Who Have Sex with Men in the United Kingdom
Chemsex, a form of sexualized drug use, is prevalent among men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United Kingdom (UK), contributing to public health concerns like increased HIV transmission and overdose risk. This study explored the link between early first anal sex and chemsex engagement among MSM, a connection that has been underexplored in the UK. Analyzing data from 10,702 UK-based MSM from the European MSM Internet Survey (EMIS-2017), we use…
High prevalence of late presentation of ART-naïve perinatally infected children for care in Pune, India
Delayed presentation to care of perinatally infected children in India continues to be a hindrance to achieving the “end pediatric HIV by 2020” goal. In this study, we characterize this issue by describing the prevalence, risk factors and temporal trends of delayed presentation to care of perinatally infected, antiretroviral therapy (ART) – naïve children using programmatic data from a tertiary care center in western India. Delayed presentation w…
The burden of anxiety among people living with HIV during the Covid-19 pandemic in Pune, India
The burden of anxiety was high during COVID lockdown in our population of socioeconomically disadvantaged PLHIV in Pune and appeared to be influenced by concerns about ART availability. The burden of anxiety among PLHIV will likely increase with the worsening pandemic in India, as sources of anxiety are expected to persist. We recommend the regular use of short screening tools for anxiety to monitor and triage patients as an extension of current …
Elevated highly sensitive C-reactive protein and d -dimer levels are associated with food insecurity among people living with HIV in Pune, India
Objective To assess the prevalence and determinants of food insecurity among people living with HIV (PLWH) in Pune, India and its association with biomarkers known to confer increased risks of morbidity and mortality in this population. Design Cross-sectional analysis assessing food insecurity using the standardized Household Food Insecurity Access Scale. Participants were dichotomized into two groups: food insecure and food secure. Logistic regr…
