Attitudes Towards Aging, Depression, Physical Functioning, and Pain Among Women Living with HIV of Reproductive Age
Positive attitudes towards aging (ATA) are associated with better mental and physical health in the general population and with lower depressive symptoms among men living with HIV. Little is known about ATA among women of reproductive age living with HIV (WWH), who often experience premature aging, depression, and chronic pain. This study examined the association of ATA with HIV, physical functioning, and pain among women 19-45 years-of-age. From…

Experience of religion and spirituality among socially marginalised people living with HIV in Mississippi
African Americans in Mississippi have the highest HIV-related mortality and poverty rates in the USA, and they tend to be religious. Attitudes toward gender and sexuality are changing, yet few studies have investigated religion and spirituality among special populations living with HIV. Using grounded theory and qualitative methods, we investigated the experience of health and illness of a low-income, socially marginalised population living with …

Incarceration and Number of Sexual Partners After Incarceration Among Vulnerable US Women, 2007–2017
Objectives. To examine whether women’s incarceration increases numbers of total and new sexual partners. Methods. US women with or at risk for HIV in a multicenter cohort study answered incarceration and sexual partner questions semiannually between 2007 and 2017. We used marginal structural models to compare total and new partners at visits not following incarceration with all visits following incarceration and visits immediately following incar…
Women’s decision-making about self-protection during sexual activity in the deep south of the USA
Many women continue to become infected with HIV, particularly in the Southeastern USA, despite widespread knowledge about methods to prevent its sexual transmission. This grounded theory investigation examined the decision-making process women use to guide their use or non-use of self-protective measures when engaging in sexual activity. Participants included women in the Mississippi cohort of the Women's Interagency HIV Study who were infected w…
Association of CD4+ T cell subpopulations and psychological stress measures in women living with HIV
Psychological stress is a known immunomodulator. In individuals with HIV, depression, the most common manifestation of increased psychological stress, can affect immune function with lower CD4+ T cell counts correlating with higher levels of depression. It is unknown how other forms of psychological stress can impact immune markers in people living with HIV. We conducted a cross-sectional study to determine how CD4+ T cell subpopulations correlat…
Physical activity levels and perceived benefits and barriers to physical activity in HIV-infected women living in the deep south of the United States
Engaging in regular physical activity (PA) is important in maintaining health and increasing the overall quality of life of people living with HIV (PLWH). The deep south of the USA is known for its high rate of sedentary behavior although data on the activity levels and perceptions of the benefits and barriers to exercise in women living with HIV in the deep south are lacking. Understanding the perceived benefits and barriers to exercise can guid…
