Sexual behaviors and access to HIV services during the Covid-19 pandemic among cisgender men who have sex with men in Lima, Peru
Open AccessK Vu, Hugo Sanchez et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted sexual behaviors, access to health services, and other factors related to HIV vulnerability among sexual and gender minority populations globally. This study investigates such changes among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Lima, Peru. We analyzed data from a cross-sectional survey that was conducted initially in 2018–2019 (‘pre-pandemic’ period, n = 382) and then repeated in 2020–2021 (‘mid-pandemic’…

Correlates of condomless anal intercourse with different types of sexual partners among men who have sex with men and transgender women in Lima, Peru
Victoria F Bachman, Michalina A Montaño et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2023
In Lima, Peru, men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TW) are disproportionately affected by HIV. Patterns of sexual behavior vary by sexual partner type, which has implications for HIV prevention intervention design. We examine correlates of sex and condomless anal intercourse (CAI) with each of four types of partners among HIV-negative MSM and TW in Lima who completed monthly questionnaires about partnership types and CAI. Odds …
Linkage to care after HIV diagnosis among men who have sex with men and transgender women in Lima, Peru
Angela D Primbas, Edward White et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2022
In Lima, Perú, HIV prevalence is estimated to be 15% among men who have sex with men (MSM) and 30% among transgender women (TW). We investigated timely linkage of MSM and TW to HIV care, as linkage to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is critical to protect the health of those living with HIV and to prevent onward transmission. We investigated linkage within 90 days of HIV diagnosis by matching data from two studies conducted in Lima between 2013 and …
High levels of mild to moderate depression among men who have sex with men and transgender women in Lima, Peru
Jerome T Galea, Stephanie L Marhefka et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2022
Depression disproportionally affects people at risk of acquiring or living with HIV and is associated with worse health outcomes; however, depression care is not routinely integrated with HIV prevention and treatment services. Selection of the best depression intervention(s) for integration depends both on the prevalence and severity of depression among potential users. To inform depression care integration in a community-based setting in Lima, P…
Exploring HIV risk behavior and sexual/gender identities among transgender women and their sexual partners in Peru using respondent-driven sampling
Jessica E Long, Hugo Sanchez et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2022
HIV prevalence is high among transgender women, but little is known about cisgender men who have sex with transgender women (MSTW). The objective of this study was to investigate characteristics and behavior of MSTW compared to transgender women and men who have sex with men (MSM) using a modified respondent-driven sampling design. Seed participants completed a survey and invited up to three sex partners. Forward recruitment continued in waves th…
Community-based accompaniment for adolescents transitioning to adult HIV care in urban Peru
Open AccessValentina Vargas, Milagros Wong et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2022
We piloted a community-based intervention to improve outcomes among adolescents living with HIV who were transitioning to adult-oriented care in Lima, Peru. We assessed feasibility and potential effectiveness, including within-person changes in self-reported adherence, psychosocial metrics (NIH Toolbox), and transition readiness ("Am I on TRAC" questionnaire, "Got Transition" checklist). From October 2019 to January 2020, we enrolled 30 adolescen…

Impacto de la pandemia por Sars-CoV-2 en adolescentes que viven con el VIH en Lima, Perú

Adolescents living with HIV (ALWH) have lower rates of virologic suppression and higher rates of immunologic decline compared to their older counterparts, potentially placing them at high-risk for developing severe SARS-CoV-2 disease. ALWH who are transitioning to adult care face additional challenges to remaining in care and adhering to treatment. In this special section we report the experiences of ALWH in the process of transitioning to adult …

Increasing PrEP uptake and adherence among MSM and TW sex workers in Lima, Perú
August Longino, Michalina A Montaño et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2020
In Perú, men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TW) suffer rates of HIV 50 times greater than the general population. MSM or TW sex workers (SWs) are at especially high risk. Daily oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) effectively prevents HIV infection if patients adhere to a daily or on-demand regimen. Necessary levels of adoption and adherence require data-driven intervention strategies for these marginalized groups. We conducte…
Sex-on-premise venues, associated risk behaviors, and attitudes toward venue-based HIV testing among men who have sex with men in Lima, Perú
Open AccessAlexander Lankowski, Hugo Sanchez et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020
SOPV attendance was common among MSM in Lima who participated in our survey, and SOPV attendees reported significantly greater engagement in sexual risk behaviors related to HIV transmission. Attitudes toward hypothetical SOPV-based interventions were generally favorable. These findings suggest that outreach at SOPVs may be an effective mechanism for reaching a particularly high-risk sub-population of MSM in Perú to deliver targeted HIV testing a…
Impact of pre-diagnosis awareness of HIV-related stigma and dispositional coping on linkage to HIV care among newly diagnosed HIV+ Peruvian patients
Yamile Molina, Angela K Ulrich et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2019
A substantial body of literature has characterized how psychosocial factors, including HIV-related stigma and coping, are associated with HIV testing and HIV care utilization post-diagnosis. Less is known about if certain psychosocial characteristics pre-diagnosis may also predict linkage to care among individuals who receive an HIV-positive diagnosis. We examined if pre-diagnosis awareness/perception about HIV-related stigma and dispositional co…

High HIV prevalence and the internet as a source of HIV-related service information at a community-based organization in Peru
Open AccessR Colby Passaro, Connie A Haley et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016
Internet-based promotion appears to successfully reach MSM at high risk of HIV in Peru. Outreach via this medium can facilitate HIV diagnosis, which is the critical first step in getting infected individuals into HIV care. For community-based organizations working in resource-limited settings, this may be an effective strategy for engaging a subset of high-risk persons in HIV care

Gender differences in predictors of self-rated health among older adults in Brazil and Chile

We conclude that when examining gender differences in predictors of SRH, the similarities are greater than the differences between Brazilian and Chilean older adults. In both countries, physical health was the most important predictor of SRH. In addition, absence of depression was the strongest predictor of good health in older Brazilian adults

Introduction Older adult (OA) falls are a major public health problem being a main cause of disability and morbidity (30% of prevalence around the world), involving an extensive use of health services, and higher costs. Latin American data (2000) show higher prevalence of multiple falls among Chilean (20.3%) and Mexican (19.5%) elders than in the Region (10%–15%). In Chile (2006), major part of the accident among elderly occurs at home (56%). The…
