This study evaluated the effectiveness of multilevel interventions in addressing the underlying reasons for drinking among men with HIV receiving ART in India. This secondary analysis of a randomized trial in Mumbai assessed the impact of counseling, group interventions, and advocacy on alcohol use. Participants complet…
HIV risk perception and problematic alcohol use among urban slum residents in Bangladesh
HIV continues to be a global public health issue. Urban slums in Bangladesh are at high risk for the HIV epidemic, but little is known about how slum people perceive their risk and deal with alcohol use. Therefore, the focus of the study was to explore the HIV risk perception, problematic alcohol use and the associated factors within urban slum settings. We conducted a cross-sectional study between March and May 2023 among 739 urban slum resident…

High Interest in Long-acting Injectable Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (LAI-PrEP) for HIV Prevention Among Men Who Have Sex With Men (MSM)
Suicidal ideation, plan, and attempt among men who have sex with men in Nepal
Men who have sex with men (MSM) are at increased risk for suicide, with a much higher prevalence of suicidality than the general population. While there is a growing interest in the identification of risk factors for suicidal behaviors globally, the understanding of the prevalence and risk factors for suicidal behaviors among MSM in the context of low- and middle-income countries is almost non-existent. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate …
The mediation effects of sexual self-efficacy in the relationship between psychosocial wellbeing and depressive symptoms among female migrant workers in Vietnam
BACKGROUND: Depression is a common mental disorder that significantly contributes to the global burden of disease. Studies have consistently reported that migrant workers experience higher levels of depressive symptoms, especially women. AIMS: This study aimed to examine the mediation role of sexual self-efficacy on the relationship between psychological wellbeing, and depressive symptoms among young female migrant workers in Vietnam's industrial…
The Mediating Effect of Changes in Depression Symptoms on the Relationship between Health-Related Quality of Life and Alcohol Consumption
Heavy alcohol use is negatively affecting antiretroviral therapy adherence, mental health and health-related quality of life among people living with HIV (PLWH). This paper aims to test the mediation model examining whether changes in depression symptoms mediate in the relationship between health-related quality of life and alcohol use among male PLWH who consume alcohol in India. The study is guided by the stress-coping model, which posits that …
Assessing Barriers and Utilization of Sexual and Reproductive Health Services among Female Migrant Workers in Vietnam
Young migrant women workers frequently experience disparities in accessing health services, including sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, especially in urban settings. This study assesses the barriers and utilization of SRH services and explores factors associated with the utilization of these services among young female migrant workers working in the industrial zone (IZ) in Vietnam. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 1061 yo…
Factors impacting HIV testing among young sexually active women migrant workers in Vietnamese industrial zones
Overall, a low level of HIV testing, high rates of unprotected sex, and low perceived risks regarding HIV among the study participants point to a need to implement targeted HIV interventions that can improve both safe sex practices and perceptions of and knowledge about risky sexual behaviors. Such interventions should use insights from this study to address factors facilitating HIV testing among industrial zones' women migrant workers
Alcohol Use, HIV Stigma and Quality of Life Among Alcohol Consuming Men Living with HIV in India
Stigmatizing Attitudes toward People Living with HIV among Young Women Migrant Workers in Vietnam
Despite intensive HIV education and prevention efforts in the past few years, stigmatizing attitudes toward people living with HIV (PLWH) remain a major barrier to HIV prevention and treatment efforts in Vietnam. The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of stigmatizing attitudes regarding HIV and identify correlative factors that impact the perceptions of PLWH among a heretofore overlooked demographic in Vietnamese society: women w…
Multilevel and Multifactorial Interventions to Reduce Alcohol Consumption and Improve ART Adherence and Related Factors Among HIV Positive Men in Mumbai, India
Depression Among Alcohol Consuming, HIV Positive Men on ART Treatment in India
Sexual intimacy and marital relationships in a low-income urban community in India
Data from a six-year study of married women's sexual health in a low-income community in Mumbai indicated that almost half the sample of 1125 women reported that they had a negative view of sex with their husbands. Qualitative interviews and quantitative survey data identified several factors that contributed to this diminished interest including: a lack of foreplay, forced sex, the difficulty of achieving privacy in crowded dwellings, poor marit…
Identifying the Intersection of Alcohol, Adherence and Sex in HIV Positive Men on ART Treatment in India Using an Adapted Timeline Followback Procedure
Psychometric assessment of scales measuring HIV public stigma, drug-use public stigma and fear of HIV infection among young adolescents and their parents
The objective of this study was to design and assess measurement instruments that accurately measure the levels of stigma among individuals with a primarily collectivist culture. A cross-sectional study was conducted among middle school students and their parents or guardians in a rural area of China. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to examine and determine the latent factors of the sub-scales of stigma respectively, among …
