Sociodemographic, behavioral, and clinical characteristics associated with perceived discrimination in healthcare settings among Black persons with diagnosed HIV in the United States
1,631). Overall, 22% reported experiencing discrimination in a healthcare setting; discrimination was most often attributed to HIV status. Those reporting discrimination were younger, MSM, and living at or below the federal poverty level. They also experienced homelessness, incarceration and illicit substance use in the past 12 months, and anxiety and depression symptoms in the past 2 weeks. They were less likely to use ART or report 100% ART dos…

Methods in HIV-Related Intersectional Stigma Research: Core Elements and Opportunities
Researchers are increasingly recognizing the importance of studying and addressing intersectional stigma within the field of HIV. Yet, researchers have, arguably, struggled to operationalize intersectional stigma. To ensure that future research and methodological innovation is guided by frameworks from which this area of inquiry has arisen, we propose a series of core elements for future HIV-related intersectional stigma research. These core elem…

Social and Structural Determinants of HIV Treatment and Care Among Hispanic Women and Latinas Living with HIV Infection in the United States: A Qualitative Review: 2008–2018
Purpose: In 2017, among all women in the United States, Hispanic women and Latinas (Hispanics/Latinas) accounted for 16% of women with HIV. Populations with high HIV disparities, including Hispanics/Latinas, experience treatment and care outcomes that are well below the national goals. The objective of this qualitative review was to identify social and structural barriers to HIV care from the perspective of Hispanics/Latinas. Methods: Our qualita…
Psychological and social determinants of health, antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence, and viral suppression among HIV-positive black women in care
Black women are disproportionately affected by HIV, accounting for 61% of women diagnosed in 2016. Black women with HIV are less likely to be adherent to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and virally suppressed compared to women of other racial/ethnic groups. We analyzed 2013-2014 data from 1703 black women patients in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Medical Monitoring Project to examine whether select psychological and social determi…

Effectively Addressing Human Immunodeficiency Virus Disparities Affecting US Black Women
Black women have disproportionately higher rates of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and low percentages being linked to care and becoming virally suppressed, compared with women of other races/ethnicities. To date, few evidence-based HIV prevention and care interventions tailored for black women exist. We highlight three essential factors to consider in designing culturally and gender-appropriate studies to address HIV-related dispa…

Unhealthy environments, unhealthy consequences: Experienced homonegativity and HIV infection risk among young men who have sex with men
Unfavourable social environments can negatively affect the health of gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM). We described how experienced homonegativity - negative perceptions and treatment that MSM encounter due to their sexual orientations - can increase HIV vulnerability among young MSM. Participants (n = 44) were young MSM diagnosed with HIV infection during January 2006-June 2009. All participants completed questionnaires t…
Comparison of strategies to increase HIV testing among African-American gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men in Washington, DC
This paper presents results from a study conducted to compare the relative effectiveness of three strategies - alternate venue testing (AVT), the social network strategy (SNS), and partner counseling and referral services (PCRS; standard care) - for reaching and motivating previously undiagnosed, African-American men who have sex with men (AA MSM) to be tested for HIV. Data were collected between June 2008 and February 2010 at a gay-identified, c…
An exploration of religion and spirituality among young, HIV-infected gay and bisexual men in the USA
Although religion and spirituality can promote healthy behaviours and mental well-being, negative religious experiences may harm sexual minority men's health. Despite increasing vulnerability to HIV infection among young gay and bisexual men, few studies examine how religion and spirituality might affect them. To this end, we interviewed young gay and bisexual men who were diagnosed with HIV infection during January 2006-June 2009. Questionnaires…
Development of Culturally Tailored Educational Brochures on HPV and Pap Tests for American Indian Women
Purpose: Participatory formative research guided the creation of a culturally tailored educational brochure about human papillomavirus (HPV) at an American Indian women’s clinic. Method: A review of existing educational materials and in-depth interviews were conducted. Nine steps for creating health communications messages that were patterned after National Cancer Institute guidelines guided the brochure development process. Results: Of 95 women …
Lessons Learned From Use of Social Network Strategy in HIV Testing Programs Targeting African American Men Who Have Sex With Men
Objectives. We report lessons derived from implementation of the Social Network Strategy (SNS) into existing HIV counseling, testing, and referral services targeting 18- to 64-year-old Black gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM). Methods. The SNS procedures used in this study were adapted from a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention–funded, 2-year demonstration project involving 9 community-based organizations (CBOs) in 7 …

Data were analyzed using mixed-effects models and meta-regression. Results. Overall, behavioral interventions had …
Recommendations From a Research Consultation to Address Intervention Strategies for HIV/Aids Prevention Focused on African Americans
Despite substantial federal resources spent on HIV prevention, research, treatment, and care, as well as the availability and dissemination of evidence-based behavioral interventions, the disparate impact of HIV on African Americans continues. In October 2007, 3 federal agencies convened 20 HIV/AIDS prevention researchers and care providers for a research consultation to focus on new intervention strategies and current effective intervention stra…
