  • The Role of Intersectional Stigma in Coronary Artery Disease Among Cisgender Women Aging with HIV

    Tiffany R Glynn, Michaela E Larson et al.ARTICLEBehavioral Medicine2024

    Cisgender women living with HIV experience elevated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk that increases with age, a concern given extended life expectancies for people living with HIV. The CVD risk disparity among cisgender women aging with HIV is understudied and remains unclear. Taking a psychoneuroimmunology approach, given this group's intersecting marginalized identities, one potential driver of the disparity is intersectional stigma. Yet not a…

  • Caregivers’ psychosocial assessment for identifying HIV-infected infants at risk of poor treatment adherence

    Maria Grazia Lain, Sérgio Chicumbe et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2023

    Psychosocial support (PSS) to caregivers of HIV-infected infants on antiretroviral treatment (ART) is crucial to ensure ART adherence and sustained long-term viral suppression in children. A specific approach including tools to monitor and understand adherence behavior and risk factors that prevent optimal treatment compliance are urgently needed. This qualitative exploratory study, conducted in southern Mozambique, monitored the infants' viral r…

  • Sexual Minority Stress and Cellular Aging in Methamphetamine-Using Sexual Minority Men With Treated HIV

    Open AccessDelaram Ghanooni, Adam W Carrico et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2022

    OBJECTIVE: Sexual minority men (e.g., gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men) experience stigma and sexual minority stress, which are theorized to drive negative health outcomes. Sexual minority men with treated HIV display persistent immune dysregulation, which could be amplified by sexual minority stress responses to potentiate cellular aging. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 52 sexual minority men living with HIV who ha…

  • Optimizing the World Health Organization algorithm for HIV vertical transmission risk assessment by adding maternal self-reported antiretroviral therapy adherence

    Open AccessSheila Martínez Fernández, Sheila Fernández-Luis et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    In the absence of a VL result, mothers' self-reported adherence at delivery increases the number of identified infants eligible to receive enhanced post-natal prophylaxis

  • HIV and carotid atherosclerosis

    Maria L Alcaide, Violeta J Rodríguez et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2020

    Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the US and is a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality for people living with HIV (PLWH). This study examined the association between HIV infection, cocaine usage, and inflammatory markers, and their combined association with carotid atherosclerosis among young and middle-aged adults with HIV. Participants (N = 494) were enrolled based on HIV status and cocaine use. Blood p…

  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

    Open AccessGARY P HOLMES, JONATHAN E KAPLAN et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Internal Medicine1988

    The chronic Epstein-Barr virus syndrome is a poorly defined symptom complex characterized primarily by chronic or recurrent debilitating fatigue and various combinations of other symptoms, including sore throat, lymph node pain and tenderness, headache, myalgia, and arthralgias. Although the syndrome has received recent attention, and has been diagnosed in many patients, the chronic Epstein-Barr virus syndrome has not been defined consistently. D…
