Factors Associated With Hiv Voluntary Disclosure to One's Steady Sexual Partner in Mali
Despite the widespread dissemination of HIV information through public awareness campaigns in Mali, disclosing seropositivity to one's steady sexual partner (SSP) remains difficult for people living with HIV (PLHIV). Disclosure is a public health concern with serious implications and is also strongly linked to the quality of life of PLHIV. This study aimed to analyse factors associated with voluntary HIV disclosure to one's SSP, using a community…
Satisfaction with sexual life in people living with HIV in Romania, together with associated individual and social factors
The present study aimed to identify social and individual factors associated with satisfaction with sexual life (SSL) in people living with HIV (PLHIV) in contact with a community-based organisation in Romania. A standardised questionnaire was administered (N = 300) in a community-based research study. Multivariate analysis (using a weighted logistic regression restricted to the 291 respondents who answered a question about SSL) was used to deter…
Internet-using men who have sex with men would be interested in accessing authorised HIV self-tests available for purchase online
Men who have sex with men (MSM) recruited in sex venues have been shown to be interested in accessing HIV home-tests if reliable and authorised tests were available. To what extent is this true for MSM recruited online? In an online survey in French on the use of unauthorised HIV home-tests purchased online, MSM previously unaware of the existence of these tests were asked if they would be interested in accessing them if these tests were authoris…
Proximity to HIV is associated with a high rate of HIV testing among men who have sex with men living in Douala, Cameroon
In low- and middle-income countries, men who have sex with men (MSM) are 19 times more likely to be HIV positive compared with background populations. Criminalisation and social rejection of homosexuality in most sub-Saharan African countries reinforce stigma and exclude MSM from prevention activities, including HIV testing. This paper's purpose is to identify factors associated with never having been HIV tested (NHT), among a sample of Camerooni…
Acceptability of an “on-demand” pre-exposure HIV prophylaxis trial among men who have sex with men living in France
Although predictors of willingness to take daily, self-administered pre-exposure HIV prophylaxis (PrEP) for men who have sex with men (MSM) have been studied in the context of several PrEP trials internationally, little is known about MSM interested in participating in a trial on the use of PrEP on an "on -demand" basis, i.e., taking a first dose of combined tenofovir/emtricitabine a few hours before possible HIV sexual exposure and a second dose…
The “Swiss Statement”
The publication of the "Swiss Statement" in 2008 shook the international HIV prevention and advocacy scene. HIV behavioral research has provided us with some studies focusing on the potential changes that new prevention strategies can produce, but results are not conclusive. Besides, there is a lack of data concerning awareness of these kinds of prevention strategies on real-life settings, studying mainly the behavior of people recruited in diffe…
Empowering HIV testing as a prevention tool
In France, HIV testing can be easily performed in free and anonymous voluntary counselling testing (VCT) centres. The recent national study among French men who have sex with men (MSM) showed that 73% of those already tested for HIV had been tested in the previous two years. Nothing is known about the risk behaviours of MSM attending VCT centres. This study aimed to characterize sexual risk behaviours of MSM tested for HIV in such centres and ide…

Correlates of poor perceived health among individuals living with HIV and HBV chronic infections
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection affects up to 14% of people living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA) and is associated with a higher risk of non-AIDS death. While great advances have been made in the therapeutic management of co-infection with HIV and HBV, nothing is known about perceived health in people living with HIV and HBV. This study aimed at characterizing individuals with poor perceived overall health among 308 HIV-HBV co-infected indi…
Determinants of benzodiazepine use in a representative population of HIV-infected individuals
HIV infection may result in stressful situations such as disclosure to others and could be a mediator between seropositivity status and psychiatric illness, depression, or anxiety. Several results have shown that anxiolytic use (mainly benzodiazepines [BDZ]) is highly prevalent in HIV-infected individuals, but few studies have highlighted to what extent this use could be associated with HIV disclosure. A national cross-sectional survey representa…
Harmful alcohol consumption and patterns of substance use in HIV-infected patients receiving antiretrovirals (ANRS-EN12-Vespa Study)
Alcohol abuse affects secondary prevention and disease progression in HIV-infected patients, and adherence and response to treatment in those chronically treated. The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of harmful alcohol consumption (HAC) using various indicators and identify which groups of patients may require specific targeted interventions for HAC risk reduction. A cross-sectional survey, based on a random sample represent…
