The impact of drug coverage on viral suppression among people living with HIV in Ontario, Canada
Burden and risk factors for gastrointestinal symptom distress in HIV patients in the modern antiretroviral era
In the modern antiretroviral (ARV) era, there is limited knowledge about the prevalence and risk factors for HIV patient-reported gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms (diarrhoea/soft stool, nausea/vomiting, bloating/painful abdomen, loss of appetite, and weight loss/wasting) and distress. We prospectively analysed data (2007-2014) on distressing GI symptoms from the Ontario HIV Treatment Network Cohort Study, which follows people attending HIV clinics.…
Social determinants of health and retention in HIV care in a clinical cohort in Ontario, Canada
Continuous HIV care supports antiretroviral therapy initiation and adherence, and prolongs survival. We investigated the association of social determinants of health (SDH) and subsequent retention in HIV care in a clinical cohort in Ontario, Canada. The Ontario HIV Treatment Network Cohort Study is a multi-site cohort of patients at 10 HIV clinics. Data were collected from medical charts, interviews, and via record linkage with the provincial pub…
The role of people living with HIV as patient instructors – reducing stigma and improving interest around HIV care among medical students
People living with HIV/AIDS (PHAs) are increasingly recognized as experts in HIV and their own health. We developed a simulated clinical encounter (SCE) in which medical students provided HIV pre- and post-test counselling and point-of-care HIV testing for PHAs as patient instructors (PHA-PIs) under clinical preceptor supervision. The study assessed the acceptability of this teaching tool with a focus on assessing impact on HIV-related stigma amo…
Envisioning Women-Centered HIV Care
Increased mortality among Indigenous persons in a multisite cohort of people living with HIV in Canada
Is any job better than no job? Labor market experiences and depressive symptoms in people living with HIV
The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between the psychosocial work environment and labor market experiences (including unemployment) on mental health among adults living with HIV. We used data provided by 538 participants at clinical and community sites across Ontario, Canada. Generalized estimating equation models showed that employment was associated with lower depressive symptoms. For employed participants, adverse psycho…
Impact of hepatitis B and C co-infection on health-related quality of life in HIV positive individuals
Once Daily Dosing Improves Adherence to Antiretroviral Therapy
Effect of Early versus Deferred Antiretroviral Therapy for HIV on Survival
BACKGROUND: The optimal time for the initiation of antiretroviral therapy for asymptomatic patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is uncertain. METHODS: We conducted two parallel analyses involving a total of 17,517 asymptomatic patients with HIV infection in the United States and Canada who received medical care during the period from 1996 through 2005. None of the patients had undergone previous antiretroviral therapy. In ea…
