Perspectives of healthcare providers around providing family planning services to women living with HIV attending six HIV treatment clinics in Lusaka, Zambia
While international guidelines recommend integration of family planning (FP) and HIV services, limited research has been done to explore how healthcare providers perceive the feasibility and utility of integrated services. To address this gap, we administered a standardized questionnaire to 85 providers from 6 HIV clinics in Lusaka, Zambia, before (April–May 2018) and after (May–June 2019) implementing an enhanced model of FP/HIV service integrat…
Perceived impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and government restrictions on the lives of young adults living with HIV in Kisumu, Kenya
Young adults with HIV (YAHIV) may be particularly vulnerable to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this context, associated mitigation measures among YAHIV can adversely impact fragile social and economic systems. We examined the impact of the pandemic and related government-mandated restrictions among YAHIV in Kisumu, Kenya. Between April-May 2021, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among a convenience sample of YAHIV 18–25 years receiv…
Factors Associated with Having both Male and Female Recent Sexual Partnerships Among Men Who Have Sex with Men in Harare and Bulawayo, Zimbabwe
To better understand male and female sexual partnerships among men who have sex with men (MSM), we used data from a 2019 biobehavioral survey among MSM in Harare and Bulawayo, Zimbabwe to conduct bivariate analyses and multivariable logistic regression to determine whether sociodemographic characteristics and HIV-related factors were associated with having both male and female sexual partnerships within the last 6 months. Of included MSM (N = 114…
Characterizing acceptable and appropriate implementation strategies of a biobehavioral survey among men who have sex with men and others assigned male who have sex with men in Zimbabwe
Key populations including men who have sex with men (MSM), female sex workers, people who inject drugs, transgender persons, and prisoners account for nearly 50% of new HIV infections globally. To inform the HIV response and monitor trends in HIV prevalence and incidence among key populations, countries have increased efforts to implement biobehavioral surveys (BBS) with these groups as part of routine surveillance. Yet the marginalized nature of…
Stigma, Social Cohesion, and HIV Risk Among Sexual and Gender Minorities in Two Cities in Zimbabwe
Though stigma is a recognized contributor to the disproportionate HIV burden among sexual and gender minorities (SGM) in sub-Saharan Africa, data describing this association among Zimbabwean SGM are limited. We examined relationships between SGM stigma and HIV and the potential for social cohesion to moderate the association among Zimbabwean men who have sex with men, transgender women, and genderqueer individuals. Consenting participants (n = 15…
Association of sociodemographic factors with needle sharing and number of sex partners among people who inject drugs in Egypt
People who inject drugs (PWID) are at a high risk for HIV. We conducted an evaluation of socio-demographic factors associated with injecting and sexual behaviour among PWID who had two or more visits at a drug outreach clinic in Cairo, Egypt from 2013 to 2017. Routinely collected information on socio-demographics and HIV risk behaviours were abstracted from client records. Bivariate analysis and logistic regression were conducted to evaluate asso…
HIV and aging among adults aged 50 years and older on antiretroviral therapy in Eswatini
Background : Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has decreased HIV-related morbidity and mortality and increased life expectancy of people living with HIV (PLHIV). Globally, the number of older PLHIV (OPLHIV; ≥50 years) is growing and predicted to increase substantially in coming years. In sub-Saharan Africa, where the majority of OPLHIV reside, there are limited data on the health and well-being of OPLHIV. Methods : We conducted an exploratory descript…
Neighborhood Contributions to Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Obesity Among New York City Adults
Objectives. We assessed neighborhood confounding on racial/ethnic obesity disparities among adults in New York City after accounting for complex sampling, and how much neighborhood factors (walkability, percentage Black or Hispanic, poverty) contributed to this effect. Methods. We combined New York City Community Health Survey 2002–2004 data with Census 2000 zip code–level data. We estimated odds ratios (ORs) for obesity with 2 sets of regression…
Neighbourhood food environments and body mass index among New York City adults
BACKGROUND: Studies evaluating the impact of the neighbourhood food environment on obesity have summarised the density or proximity of individual food outlets. Though informative, there is a need to consider the role of the entire food environment; however, few measures of whole system attributes have been developed. New variables measuring the food environment were derived and used to study the association with body mass index (BMI). METHODS: In…
Tuberculosis Rates Among HIV-Infected Persons in New York City, 2001–2005
We calculated population-based tuberculosis (TB) rates among HIV-infected persons in New York City from 2001 through 2005 using data from the city's TB and HIV/AIDS surveillance registries, and we examined those rates using linear trend tests and incidence rate ratios (IRRs). HIV-infected individuals had 16 times the TB rate of a “non-HIV” population (HIV status negative or unknown; IRR = 16.0; 95% confidence interval = 14.9, 17.2). TB rates decl…
