  • PrEP indicators, social capital and social group memberships among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men

    Meagan Zarwell, Yusuf Ransome et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2019

    Efforts to reduce HIV among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men include increasing awareness and uptake of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Social capital may facilitate engagement in HIV prevention. Membership of social groups including chosen families (i.e. friends as family relationships) - one potential indicator of social capital - may be protective against HIV risk and infection. In this cross-sectional quantitative study, we …

    Mohammad M Rahman, Mohammad Rahman et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2015References: 7

    Objectives. We estimated the costs and effectiveness of implementing a partner notification (PN) strategy for highly prevalent sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) within the Louisiana STD/HIV Program. Methods. We carried out a telephone-based PN approach on an experimental basis in 2 public STD clinics in Louisiana from June 2010 to May 2012. We monitored data on the resources used for identifying, tracing, treating, and managing the infected ca…

  • The validity of clinic-based samples in approximating out-of-care HIV-infected populations

    Manya Magnus, Jane Herwehe et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2014

    Tremendous strides have been made in the diagnosis and treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); perhaps now the largest barrier to controlling HIV is retaining those diagnosed in care. Data on out-of-care populations are needed to develop effective retention methods, yet obtaining these remains methodologically challenging due to inherent difficulties in sampling. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether individuals identified by…

  • Patient perspectives on tobacco cessation services for persons living with HIV/Aids

    William T Robinson, William Robinson et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2012

    With the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy, the survival for HIV-infected individuals has increased, but other health-related behaviors have been largely unaddressed. Tobacco use is of primary concern, given its prevalence and the medical implications of smoking among these patients. Improving responsiveness to the needs, values, and preferences of patients (i.e., patient-centeredness) is a focus for increasing participation in syste…

  • Linking recently diagnosed HIV-positive persons to medical care

    DeAnn Gruber, Peter Campos et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2011

    BACKGROUND: quantitative results from clients participating in the Antiretroviral Treatment Access Studies-II (ARTAS-II) intervention have previously been published. The current report provides qualitative data from providers (agency staff who referred clients to ARTAS-II) concerning how the introduction of ARTAS-II case managers affected referrals to HIV care. METHODS: referring providers from agencies that conducted HIV counseling and testing (…

  • Changes in CD4 count among persons living with HIV/Aids following Hurricane Katrina

    William T Robinson, Deborah Wendell et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2011

    To examine the effects of Hurricane Katrina on the disease progression of persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH/A), CD4 counts during the 18 months immediately prior and subsequent to Katrina were obtained from the Louisiana Office of Public Health. PLWH/A were determined to be either non-residents of the New Orleans area, returning evacuees or evacuees who had returned to the area within 18 months. A mixed model repeated measures ANOVA showed signi…

  • Estimating the Return of Persons Living With HIV/Aids to New Orleans

    William T Robinson, Debbie Wendell et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2008References: 4

    Hurricane Katrina disrupted HIV/AIDS surveillance by invalidating the New Orleans, La, surveillance and population data on persons living with HIV/AIDS. We describes 2 methods—population return and HIV surveillance data—to estimate the return of the infected population to New Orleans. It is estimated that 58% to 64% of 7068 persons living with HIV/AIDS returned by summer 2006. Although developed for HIV planning, these methods could be used with …
