  • Neighborhood social cohesion and viral suppression after HIV diagnosis

    Open AccessEllen W Wiewel, Luisa N Borrell et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2021References: 21

    Social cohesion has varying effects on health. We investigated the association of perceived neighborhood social cohesion with HIV viral suppression using individual-level data from the New York City HIV registry and surveillance-based interviews ( n = 92). Suppression was achieved within 12 months of HIV diagnosis by 60 percent of persons perceiving low cohesion and 71 percent of those perceiving high ( p = 0.31). Controlling for demographic and …

  • Preexposure Prophylaxis Monitoring in New York City

    The scale-up of preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) represents a paradigm shift in HIV prevention that poses unique challenges for public health programs. Monitoring of PrEP implementation at the population level is a national priority, with particular significance in New York City (NYC) given the substantial HIV burden and the prominence of PrEP in state and local Ending the Epidemic program plans. We highlight the importance of local monitoring and …

  • Partner Services Complement Routine Testing for Early HIV Diagnosis Among Older Adults

    Tashonna R Webster, Chi-Chi N Udeagu et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2012References: 2

    Linley et al.1 report that late diagnoses are more common among older persons newly diagnosed with HIV than among younger persons nationwide and conclude by emphasizing the need for full implementation of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s 2006 recommendation for routine HIV screening for persons aged 13 to 64 years.2 In New York City, we also noted a higher proportion of concurrent (within 31 days) HIV/AIDS diagnoses among older pe…

  • The Effect of HIV Field-Based Testing on the Proportion of Notified Partners Who Test for HIV in New York City

    Tamar C Renaud, Melissa R Wong et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2011References: 5

    HIV partner services can effectively reach populations with high HIV prevalence. However, located and notified sex and needle-sharing partners of persons infected with HIV often fail to test. Field testing may increase the proportion of notified partners who test for HIV. In 2008, New York City's health department incorporated field testing into partner services. After the introduction of field testing, the proportion of notified partners who tes…
