Development of a Layperson Injector Training for the Home-Based Administration of Long-Acting Injectable Antiretroviral Therapies for Persons With HIV
Long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy (LAI-ART) has the potential to transform HIV treatment by improving adherence, reducing stigma, and expanding access through decentralized care. The INVITE-Home study evaluates home-based LAI-ART administration by trained nonmedical treatment buddies (TBYs) selected by people with HIV (PWH). This article describes the development of a TBY training curriculum guided by Adult Learning Theory and refined…
The Relationship Between Financial Well-Being and Antiretroviral Therapy Adherence in Youth with HIV in the United States
Youth and young adults experience high attrition across the HIV care continuum, including elevated risk of antiretroviral therapy (ART) nonadherence and virologic failure. This study examined how financial well-being relates to ART adherence among youth with HIV (YWH), including those using oral or LAI-based regimens. We analyzed baseline data from YWH aged 18–29 years in the United States enrolled between 2023 and 2025 in a randomized controlled…

Young Adult Perspectives on Sex, Dating, and PrEP Use During the Pandemic and Improving the Future of PrEP Care
Few studies have researched young adults' experiences taking HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) after the start of California's COVID-19 shelter-in-place (SIP) orders. The purpose of this study was to examine the experiences of young adults with sex, dating, and PrEP use during SIP and their perceptions on how to improve PrEP care in this age group. In this mixed-methods study, PrEP users ages 18-29 living in California between April 2020 and Ju…
Medical mistrust of health systems as a moderator of resilience and self-reported HIV care engagement in Black and Latinx young adults living with HIV
Resilience may be a protective factor associated with greater participation and sense of connection to HIV care, but is diminished by mistrust of the medical system at large. This suggest that systems-level changes, in addition to individual-level interventions, are needed to address medical mistrust to fully harness the resilience of young PLWH.

Antiretroviral therapy experience, satisfaction, and preferences among a diverse sample of young adults living with HIV
Youth and young adults living with HIV (YLWH) have a high HIV infection rate and suboptimal oral medication adherence. Biomedical researchers hope that long-acting antiretroviral therapy (LAART) modalities can help those who struggle with daily oral adherence. While adults living with HIV have expressed interest in LAART, little research has explored perspectives of YLWH. This study explores ART experiences and perspectives on LAART through quali…
Drought, HIV Testing, and HIV Transmission Risk Behaviors
Development of the Mobile Technology Vulnerability Scale among Youth and Young Adults Living with HIV
The 17-item MTVS scale was found to be valid and reliable and related to ART adherence
Use of technology for delivery of mental health and substance use services to youth living with HIV
Disparities in HIV treatment outcomes among youth living with HIV (YLWH) present a challenge for ending the HIV epidemic. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence can be impacted by comorbidities such as mental health and substance use. Technology use has shown promise in increasing access to mental health and substance use services. Using a mixed-methods approach, we conducted formative research to describe the relationship between mental health, …
Moving Antiretroviral Adherence Assessments to the Modern Era
An update on the Barriers to Adherence and a Definition of Self-Report Non-adherence Given Advancements in Antiretroviral Therapy (ART)
Nonadherence as 4-day Antiretroviral Therapy Interruptions
Need for improvements in clinical practice to retain patients in pre-antiretroviral therapy care
We examined current challenges with patient engagement in HIV prevention and care in South Africa by assessing the procedures of eight public health clinics in the North West Province. Procedures consisted of (1) an inventory/audit of the HIV Counseling and Testing, pre-antiretroviral therapy (pre-ART), and antiretroviral therapy (ART) patient registers; (2) extraction of data from a convenience sample of 39 HIV-positive patient files; and (3) 13…
Moving toward a novel and comprehensive behavioral composite of engagement in HIV care
Suboptimal engagement in HIV care increases the risk of HIV-related morbidity and mortality; however, a comprehensive and practical measure of engagement in care does not exist. The objective of our study was to identify and develop a composite of engagement in HIV care. From May to August 2013, we conducted a cross-sectional study of HIV-positive individuals who consented to participate in an online survey. Engagement in care was assessed by the…
Antiretroviral Therapy Adherence and Use of an Electronic Shared Medical Record Among People Living with HIV
Correlates of antiretroviral adherence and viral load among transgender women living with HIV
Transgender women are 49 times more likely to become HIV infected than other groups, yet they are drastically underserved by current treatment efforts and report lower rates of treatment adherence then other groups. The objective of this study was to explore correlates of antiretroviral (ART) adherence and viral load among HIV-positive transgender women on ART utilizing a cross-sectional survey of a convenience sample of 59 transgender women. In …

Medication Adherence
Improving adherence and clinical outcomes through an HIV pharmacist's interventions
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive individuals who adhere to their antiretroviral (ARV) regimens are more likely to achieve suppressed HIV viral load and improved immunologic response; however, for most patients, medication adherence remains a challenge. Prior studies have shown that clinical pharmacists contribute to the management of HIV-infected patients; but due to variability in clinical responsibilities and study limitations, their…
Pharmacy-refill measure of adherence to efavirenz can predict maintenance of HIV viral suppression
The objective of this study was to determine if a lower rate of adherence (<95%) is sufficient to maintain HIV viral suppression in patients on an efavirenz-based regimen. This study was a retrospective review of pharmacy refill records at an HIV specialty pharmacy at Montefiore Medical Center's outpatient clinic. Data from 151 HIV-positive patients on an efavirenz-based regimen with at least one undetectable viral load (HIV RNA < 400 copies/mL) …
