Attention and neurodevelopment in young children who are HIV-exposed uninfected
Children HIV-exposed, uninfected (CHEU) are at risk for compromised developmental outcomes. Attention is important for behavioural, cognitive and academic skills, yet has not been thoroughly investigated compared to children HIV-unexposed uninfected (CHUU). Fifty-five CHEU and 51 CHUU children were recruited at 5.5 years of age. Measures of inattention (IA), hyperactivity/impulsivity (HI) and total scores were collected using the parent-reported …
Video directly observed therapy to improve adherence of human immunodeficiency virus infected adolescents to combination antiretroviral therapy
Adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a major challenge for many youth living with HIV (YLWH). In this prospective proof-of-concept study, we assessed the feasibility and acceptability of conducting a study of video directly observed therapy (VDOT) as a method of improving medication adherence in YLWH who had a history of poor adherence to ART. The study had four phases; phase I – VDOT daily (4 months) using Facetime®; phase II – daily tex…
Neurodevelopment of HIV-exposed uninfected children compared with HIV-unexposed uninfected children during early childhood
HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU) children during the preschool and early school ages may be at-risk for neurodevelopmental challenges due to in utero and perinatal exposure to HIV and/or antiretroviral (ARV) medications. HEU children and HIV-unexposed uninfected (HUU) children from the community were recruited and tested at 3 to 4 and 5 to 6 years of age. Demographic information, HIV/ARV exposure and measures of intelligence, visuomotor skills, and a…
Longitudinal development of cognitive, visuomotor and adaptive behavior skills in HIV uninfected children, aged 3–5 years of age, exposed pre- and perinatally to anti-retroviral medications
Little is known about the neurodevelopmental outcomes of children older than 3 years of age born to HIV infected mother but who are HIV-uninfected (HEU), and who have been exposed in utero and early in life to HIV and to antiretroviral medications (ARVs). We conducted a longitudinal study of cognitive, visuomotor and adaptive function of HEU children, who were assessed at two ages, 3.5 and 5.5 years. Sixty-four children (33 female) were assessed.…
HIV Testing by Black MSM in Toronto
Surveillance data suggest that Black men who have sex with men (MSM) in Canada contribute to a higher than expected percentage of new HIV diagnoses. HIV testing is an important part of the HIV reduction strategy in Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada recommends HIV testing as a component of periodic routine medical care. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among Black MSM in Toronto to determine the factors associated with HIV testin…
Sexual health determinants in black men-who-have-sex-with-men living in Toronto, Canada
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop a profile of the sexual behavioural characteristics of black men who have sex with men (MSM) in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), Canada who constitute a unique mixture in terms of background, race, ethnicity, and culture. Having a profile of the sexual health and risk taking behaviours of these men is important since it provides information on these black Canadian men in comparison other black MSM.…
The MaBwana Black men's study
In Canada, there is a paucity of research aimed at understanding Black gay men and the antecedents to risk factors for HIV. This study is an attempt to move beyond risk factor analysis and explore the role of sexual and ethnic communities in the lives of these men. The study utilized a community-based research and critical race theory approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight key informants to augment our understanding of Bla…
“HIV isn't me…”
We describe the experiences of a sample of Canadian HIV+ youth whose intact adolescent identities contrast sharply with the expected identity challenges of persons living with a serious, chronic disease. We first showcase the positive HIV+ identities emerging from the successful management of HIV+ status through long-term HIV-related medical care and established pharmaceutical regimes. Second, we describe the medical, familial, and broader social…
Disclosing HIV diagnosis to infected children
Telling children that they have HIV is a one of the most difficult psychosocial issues for parents and professionals caring for children with HIV. The literature presents three primary reasons for this: concerns for children's emotional well-being, fear that children will not be able to keep the secret within the family and maternal fear of blame when the virus is transmitted from mother to child. Through research and clinical experience, our HIV…
