The high incidence of HIV among US Black sexual minority men is a public health crisis that pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV can help address. Public health campaigns, which often include pictures of Black sexual minority men alongside PrEP-related messaging, have been developed to encourage PrEP awareness and uptake. However, the acceptability of the messaging within these campaigns among Black sexual minority men is unclear. We conducted…
Risk of Severe Covid-19 Disease and the Pandemic’s Impact on Service Utilization Among a Longitudinal Cohort of Persons with HIV-Washington, DC
The Effect of Navigation on Linkage to a PrEP Provider Among PrEP-Eligible Men who have Sex with Men in a U.S. Demonstration Project

Longitudinal outcomes of HIV- infected persons re-engaged in care using a community-based re-engagement approach
Re-engaging people living with HIV (PLWH) who are out of care (OOC) is of utmost importance to ending the HIV epidemic in the U.S. We used DC Department of Health (DCDOH) HIV surveillance data to determine whether re-engaging PLWH results in improved long-term clinical outcomes. PLWH identified as OOC for 6–12 months at both the clinic-level and using DCDOH data were targeted for re-engagement efforts through Recapture Blitz (RB). Uni- and bivari…
Earlier diagnoses and faster treatment of HIV in the District of Columbia
To address high HIV prevalence, the District of Columbia (DC) Department of Health has implemented multiple strategies to increase routine HIV testing since 2006. Examination of delayed HIV diagnosis over time can demonstrate population-level impact of public health strategies to promote HIV testing. Using HIV surveillance data, we examined delayed HIV diagnosis in DC (stage 3 within 90 days of diagnosis), CD4 count at HIV diagnosis, linkage to H…
Disparities in achieving and sustaining viral suppression among a large cohort of HIV-infected persons in care – Washington, DC
One goal of the HIV care continuum is achieving viral suppression (VS), yet disparities in suppression exist among subpopulations of HIV-infected persons. We sought to identify disparities in both the ability to achieve and sustain VS among an urban cohort of HIV-infected persons in care. Data from HIV-infected persons enrolled at the 13 DC Cohort study clinical sites between January 2011 and June 2014 were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate l…
