Retention in care is an important factor in improving health status for people living with HIV but continues to be a challenge in clinical settings. This paper details the development and implementation of the NC-LINK Retention Protocol, a clinic-based protocol to locate and reengage out-of-care patients, …
Correlates of Haart adherence among immigrant Latinos in the southeastern United States
We explored the relationships between sociocultural and psychological constructs and adherence to antiretroviral therapy among predominantly Spanish-speaking immigrant Latinos in the southeastern United States. A cross-sectional clinic-based sample of immigrant Latino men and women participated in an interviewer-administered assessment. Self-reported prevalence of adherence was assessed along with demographic characteristics, acculturation, physi…
Female Sex Work Within the Rural Immigrant Latino Community in the Southeast United States
Study findings suggest that it is possible to identify and recruit sex workers and clients and collect formative data within this highly vulnerable and neglected community; the prevention of HIV and STDs is a priority among sex workers, and the need for a larger study to include non-Latino men who report using Latina sex workers, other community insiders (e.g., bartenders), and service providers for Latina sex workers

Behavioral Risk Disparities in a Random Sample of Self-Identifying Gay and Non-Gay Male University Students
This Internet-based study was designed to compare health risk behaviors of gay and non-gay university students from stratified random cross-sectional samples of undergraduate students. Mean age of the 4,167 male participants was 20.5 (+/-2.7) years. Of these, 206 (4.9%) self-identified as gay and 3,961 (95.1%) self-identified as heterosexual. After adjusting for selected characteristics and clustering within university, gay men had higher odds of…

In-depth key-informant interviews with stake-holders ( n = …
