  • Suitability and Acceptability of Decentralised Care for People Living with HIV

    Open AccessBrian Dixon, Samuel Zen Kai Yap et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2026

    HIV management is evolving, with improved long-term survival and patient health. However, the model of care for people living with HIV (PLWHIV) in Ireland has remained unchanged, with care focused in tertiary sites in urban centres. We explored the acceptability of decentralised HIV care at local hospitals, community healthcare settings, or with primary care providers (PCP), and the acceptability of receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) locally.…

  • Community Engagement in Long Covid Research

    Open AccessMargaret E O'Hara, Kiera McDuff et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2025

    INTRODUCTION: Long Covid and other infection-associated chronic condition communities have been integral in advocating for patient engagement in all stages of research, from design and conduct, and implementation, through to interpretation and knowledge translation; nevertheless, the process varies across research teams. In this paper, we (1) describe our process undertaking a community-engaged Long Covid research study; (2) evaluate our communit…

  • The experiences of individuals living with HIV in Ireland attending out-patient physiotherapy

    Adam McDermott, Niamh Murphy et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2024

    People living with HIV (PLWH) are living longer and are becoming increasingly susceptible to multi-morbidity resulting in disability. Physiotherapy is an important component in the care of PLWH, increasing functional capacity and quality of life. However, few PLWH access physiotherapy services due to a lack of specialised services, relapses in medical conditions and financial barriers. This study aimed to gather feedback from PLWH in a tertiary i…

  • Point of care detection of Sars-CoV-2 antibodies and neutralisation capacity—lateral flow immunoassay evaluation compared to commercial assay to inform potential role in therapeutic and surveillance p…

    Open AccessJonathan McGrath, Laura O’Doherty et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Introduction As the COVID-19 pandemic moves towards endemic status, testing strategies are being de-escalated. A rapid and effective point of care test (POCT) assessment of SARS-CoV-2 immune responses can inform clinical decision-making and epidemiological monitoring of the disease. This cross-sectional seroprevalence study of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in Irish healthcare workers assessed how rapid anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing can be compare…

  • Conceptualising the episodic nature of disability among adults living with Long Covid

    Open AccessKelly K O’brien, Darren A Brown et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

METHODS: We conducted a community-engaged qualitative descriptive study involving online semistructured interviews and participant visual illustrations. We recruited participants via collaborator community organisations in Canada, Ireland, UK and USA.We recruited adults who self-identified as living with Long COVID with diversity in age, gende…

  • The effects of a 16-week aerobic exercise programme on cognitive function in people living with HIV

    Adam McDermott, AD McDermott et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2017

    High levels of cardiovascular fitness and physical activity are associated with higher levels of cognitive function in people with HIV, thus, they may reduce the risk of developing HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND). This study aimed to investigate the effects of a 16-week aerobic exercise intervention on cognitive function in people with HIV. Eleven participants living with HIV were recruited into the study. Participants were randomis…
