Coping strategies of HIV-positive individuals and its correlation with quality of life in Pune, India
Quality of life including the domains of physical health and mental health are influenced by HIV infection. Coping strategies and their relationships with various domains of quality of life (QOL) were assessed among 97 HIV-infected individuals in Pune, India. Most of the infected individuals adopted emotion-focused strategies through cognitive reframing and acceptance of their HIV status. One-third adopted problem-focused coping and sought health…
Changes in condom use during a microbicide clinical trial in Pune, India
Researchers have raised concerns that microbicide use during clinical trials would displace condom use. We sought to understand whether condom use changed for participants in a microbicide clinical trial in Pune, India, to understand whether condom shifts were a legitimate concern. We hypothesize that women participating in a microbicide clinical trial in Pune, India, were more likely, on average, to report condom use at follow-up. We further hyp…
Indian married men's interest in microbicide use
Research suggests that the HIV/AIDS epidemic has spread to monogamous women in India. Gender inequalities prevent women from asserting control over the circumstances that increase their vulnerability to infection. Men control most of the sexual decision-making. The present study explores views on use of microbicides by men and circumstances in which they might find microbicide use with their wives acceptable. Progressive in-depth interviews were …
Predicting Product Adherence in a Topical Microbicide Safety Trial in Pune, India
Sexual communication among married couples in the context of a microbicide clinical trial and acceptability study in Pune, India
Previous research in India indicates that there is little communication within marriage about sex. Lack of communication about safe sexual behaviours may increase couples' vulnerability to HIV. This study explores couple level sexual communication and socio-cultural norms that influence couples' communication about sex and its implications for HIV prevention. Data derive from in-depth interviews at two points in time with 10 couples. Secondary qu…
Examining the context of microbicide acceptability among married women and men in India
Married women in India are increasingly at risk of HIV, often due to their husbands' extramarital sexual behaviour. Topical microbicides may provide protection to women who are unable to negotiate condom use. During the formative phase of a study to develop measures related to microbicide acceptability, we conducted in-depth interviews with 14 'high-risk' and 16 'low-risk' married women and 15 husbands. Some participants had recently completed a …
