  • Factors Associated with Mobile App Ordering of HIV Self-test Kits and Reporting of Results Among Black People in Canada

    Open AccessWale Ajiboye, Jason M Lo Hog Tian et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2026

    Black people experience significant barriers to accessing facility-based HIV testing. HIV self-testing is an effective way to increase testing among populations with limited access to facility-based testing. However, the acceptance and uptake of HIV self-testing varies among different populations. The objective of this study was to examine the factors associated with the uptake of HIV self-testing kits and reporting of test results by Black peopl…

  • Supporting youth living with HIV transitioning to adult HIV care

    Open AccessAlex Tran, J R Watson et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2026

    A critical challenge for youth living with HIV is transitioning from pediatric to adult care, a period often marked by disrupted continuity and risks of stigma and isolation. Few Canadian programs address this gap. The HIV Youth Peer Engagement (HYPE) program, developed by the AIDS Committee of Durham Region seeks to address this issue using a peer-led model emphasizing education, mentorship, and community building. This article presents findings…

  • Awareness, acceptance, and impact of undetectable equals untransmittable (U = U) among people living with HIV across Canada

    Open AccessAlex Tran, J R Watson et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2026

    Undetectable equals Untransmittable (U = U) is a pivotal tool for HIV prevention, stigma reduction, and improving quality of life for people living with HIV. This study examined awareness, acceptance, and impact of U = U among people living with HIV across Canada, and explored differences across sociodemographic characteristics. From 2018-2024, 1,083 participants were recruited in-person and online using snowball sampling. Peer researchers conduc…

  • A prospective multi-site study to evaluate the performance and usability of an oral fluid-based HIV self-test in Canada

    Open AccessRichard A Galli, Darshanand Maraj et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Overall, 951 participants were recruited and consented with 911 available for all analyses. With respect to sociodemographics: 84% of participants were between 18-45 years of age, 73% had at least a college education, 48% were Cis-male, 45% were employed; and 26% identified as White, 23% as African, Caribbean or Black, 5% as Indigenous [First Nations, Métis or Inuit], 33% as Asian, and 6% as LatinX. Primary efficacy analysis on the 911 who comple…

  • Racial disparities in HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) awareness and uptake among white, Black, and Indigenous men in Canada

    Open AccessWale Ajiboye, Wangari Tharao et al.ARTICLECanadian Journal of Public Health2025Referencias: 14

    Community-based and public health interventions are immediately needed to increase PrEP awareness, access, and uptake for Black and Indigenous communities in Canada

  • Intersecting gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation identities and HIV stigma

    Jason M Lo Hog Tian, Abbey McFarland et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2025Referencias: 65

    Stigma remains a significant burden for people living with HIV and while studies have examined the impacts of gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation on stigma separately, little is known about how these factors may intersect and potentially exacerbate levels of stigma. This study examines how these intersecting social positions may relate to levels of internalised, enacted and anticipated HIV stigma. Participants were recruited in Ontario, Alb…

  • The impact of determinants of health on the relationship between stigma and health in people living with HIV

    Open AccessJason M Lo Hog Tian, J R Watson et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2024

    Determinants of health are important drivers of health states, yet there is little work examining their role in the relationship between HIV stigma and health. This study uses moderation analysis to examine how determinants of health affect the relationship between enacted, internalized, and anticipated stigma and mental health. Quantitative data was collected on 337 participants in Ontario, Canada at baseline (t1) between August 2018 and Septemb…

  • The Role of Dimensions of Social Support in the Relationship Between Stigma and Mental Health

  • The cost of anticipating stigma

    Jason M Lo Hog Tian, J R Watson et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2023

    Levels of HIV stigma remain high, however there is a limited understanding around how different types of stigma interact to impact health. This study uses data from two time points to examine how enacted and internalized stigma lead to worse health through anticipated stigma as a mediator. We recruited 341 participants in Ontario, Canada to complete the HIV Stigma Index survey at baseline (t1) from September 2018 to August 2019 and follow up (t2)…

  • An observed, prospective field study to evaluate the performance and acceptance of a blood-based HIV self-test in Canada

    Open AccessRichard A Galli, Jason M Lo Hog Tian et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    The addition of a regulatory-approved self-test into the Canadian HIV testing landscape could significantly increase HIV testing rates. Having a blood-based HIV self-test approved in Canada can offer an accurate, acceptable, and simple alternative to facility-based HIV testing, particularly when impacted by Coronavirus pandemic restrictions

  • Impact of experienced HIV stigma on health is mediated by internalized stigma and depression

    Open AccessJason M Lo Hog Tian, J R Watson et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    We developed a mediation model to explain how HIV-related stigma negatively impacts health. We found that that enacted stigma, or experiences of prejudice or discrimination, can lead to internalized stigma, or internalization of negative thoughts regarding one's HIV status and/or increased depressive symptoms which then may lead to worse overall health. Highlighting the importance of internalized stigma and depression has the potential to shape t…
