Understanding how internalized HIV stigma affects messaging about adherence to antiretroviral treatment in women living with HIV in the southern United States
Women living with HIV (WLWH) in the Southern United States face barriers to sustained adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART). 114 Southern WLWH were surveyed to assess perceptions about medication adherence and marketing techniques used to create potential intervention messaging. A cluster analysis using a modified Internalized HIV-related Stigma Scale was conducted, followed by perceptual mapping and vector message modeling to create 3D repre…
Research-based narrative videos to reduce stigma
Introduction: Older women living with HIV (WLWH) experience a heightened burden of stigma, compounded by age, gender, social isolation, and depression. Despite growing recognition of these challenges, few stigma reduction interventions are specifically designed for this population, particularly in the Southern United States. Methods: We explored the acceptability, personal relevance, and perceived effectiveness of a stigma reduction video series …
The Development and Initial Validation of the Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale-Long Covid (MSAS-LC)
Long COVID remains a public health challenge, impacting over 65 million people globally and manifesting as persistent, multisystemic symptoms that complicate both diagnosis and treatment. To address the need for a standardized, patient-centered assessment tool, this study introduces the Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale-Long COVID (MSAS-LC), which evaluates symptom prevalence, frequency, severity, and distress. The MSAS-LC was developed by modify…
Barriers and facilitators to engagement in care and medication adherence for women living with HIV in the Southern United States
Women living in the South have the second highest rate of HIV and the lowest rate of viral suppression among women in all regions in the United States (U.S.). Viral suppression is achieved by successfully linking women to HIV care and supporting adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART). We aimed to qualitatively explore perceived barriers and facilitators to HIV care engagement and ART adherence among women living with HIV in the South. Particip…
Social Location and Decision-Making Among Women Living with HIV in the Southern United States
HIV care engagement and antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence interventions aimed at decreasing viral suppression disparities for women living with HIV (WLWH) in the Southern United States (i.e., the South) are few and seldom consider diverse social locations. These refer broadly and dynamically to contextual factors and the position people occupy in a social hierarchy based on intersecting systems of oppression and social determinants of health…
Peer advice for women living with HIV in the Southern USA
Peer advice can provide emotional, social and practical assistance for the sustained self-management of chronic conditions. For stigmatised diseases such as HIV, finding support can be challenging. Women living with HIV in the Southern USA are additionally impacted upon by region-specific barriers such as stigma, poverty and limited access to services. The effectiveness of peer advice has been studied, yet little is known about the advice shared …
