Persistent HIV Transmission Misconceptions Among People Who Inject Drugs in Massachusetts, USA
Despite the widespread success of combination antiretroviral therapy in reducing overall HIV morbidity and mortality, people who inject drugs (PWID) continue to experience elevated risk of infection and suboptimal care outcomes. Addressing knowledge gaps related to HIV acquisition and transmission is essential for reducing incident cases of HIV. We assessed HIV transmission misconceptions (e.g., HIV can be transmitted through sharing cigarettes, …
The Health Toll of Encampment Sweeps
A qualitative exploration of how to support PrEP adherence among young men who have sex with men
New HIV infections disproportionately affect young men who have sex with men (YMSM). PrEP is effective in preventing HIV acquisition; however, adherence is critical and is often suboptimal among YMSM. Interventions addressing the unique PrEP adherence challenges faced by YMSM are needed. We conducted qualitative interviews with 20 HIV-negative, YMSM (ages 15-24) with a PrEP indication and 11 healthcare professionals to inform adaption of a PrEP a…

Primary Care Providers’ Perspectives on Using Automated HIV Risk Prediction Models to Identify Potential Candidates for Pre-exposure Prophylaxis
An Experimental Study of the Effects of Patient Race, Sexual Orientation, and Injection Drug Use on Providers’ PrEP-Related Clinical Judgments
Optimizing Provider Preexposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Training
Working Toward Broad and Equitable Access to HIV Preexposure Prophylaxis
HIV Preexposure Prophylaxis as a Gateway to Primary Care
Objectives. To determine whether HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use is associated with use of non–HIV-related health care. Methods. We conducted a cross-sectional study of potential PrEP candidates at a Boston, Massachusetts, community health clinic during 2012 to 2016, comparing the proportion of PrEP users and non-PrEP users receiving primary care. Results. Of 5857 PrEP candidates, 2047 (35%) were prescribed PrEP. After adjustment for demog…

Sexual Stereotypes Ascribed to Black Men Who Have Sex with Men
A Closer Look at Racism and Heterosexism in Medical Students’ Clinical Decision-Making Related to HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)
Integrating HIV Preexposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Into Routine Preventive Health Care to Avoid Exacerbating Disparities
More than 3 decades since its emergence in the United States, HIV continues to spread and disproportionately affect socially marginalized groups. Preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP), a highly effective prevention strategy federally approved since 2012, could fundamentally alter the course of the epidemic. However, PrEP’s potential has not been fully realized, in part because health care providers have been slow to adopt PrEP in clinical practice and h…

Suboptimal awareness and comprehension of published preexposure prophylaxis efficacy results among physicians in Massachusetts
In 2010, the centre for the AIDS Programme of Research in South Africa (CAPRISA)004 and iPrEx trials (microbicide gel containing tenofovir and oral pill containing tenofovir-emtricitabine, respectively) demonstrated that antiretroviral preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) reduced the risk of HIV acquisition among high-risk individuals. To determine the facilitators and barriers to PrEP provision by health-care providers, we conducted an online, quantit…
Limited Awareness and Low Immediate Uptake of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis among Men Who Have Sex with Men Using an Internet Social Networking Site
BACKGROUND: In 2010, the iPrEx trial demonstrated that oral antiretroviral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) reduced the risk of HIV acquisition among high-risk men who have sex with men (MSM). The impact of iPrEx on PrEP knowledge and actual use among at-risk MSM is unknown. Online surveys were conducted to assess PrEP awareness, interest and experience among at-risk MSM before and after iPrEx, and to determine demographic and behavioral factors a…
