  • People living with HIV in Sweden report high levels of sexual satisfaction in a registry-based cohort study

    Open AccessEwa Carlsson Lalloo, Marie Rusner et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2022

    Sexual satisfaction can be challenging for people living with HIV (PLWH). To investigate self-reported sexual satisfaction in PLWH and its association with HIV-related biomarkers, a retrospective observational cohort study with data on sociodemographic characteristics and changes in PLWH’s assessment of their sexual satisfaction over time were retrieved from the Swedish National Quality Assurance Registry (InfCareHIV) where patient-related outcom…

  • Barriers to HIV testing as reported by individuals newly diagnosed with HIV infection in Sweden

    Open AccessLisa George-Svahn, Lars E Eriksson et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2021

    285 patients completed the 18-item Barriers to HIV Testing Scale - Karolinska Version. Descriptive analysis and logistic regressions were performed to assess the prevalence of barriers and to identify predictors for the different investigated barriers. Barriers to testing were reported by 60%. Approximately 67% of patients originating from Sweden, 50% from Sub-Saharan Africa and 75% from Eastern European/East Asian countries reported barriers. Pa…

    Open AccessMaria Reinius, Maria Wiklander et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2018

    The aim was to empirically test the tenets of Earnshaw and Chaudoir's HIV stigma framework and its potential covariates for persons living with HIV in Sweden. Partial least squares structural equation modelling was used on survey data from 173 persons living with HIV in Sweden. Experiencing stigma was reported to a higher extent by younger persons and by women who had migrated to Sweden. As expected, anticipated stigma was related to lower Physic…

  • Differential item functioning for items in Berger’s HIV Stigma Scale

    Open AccessMaria Reinius, Deepa Rao et al.ARTICLEQuality of Life Research2018

    The items in the 32-item version of the HIV stigma scale did not seem to be particularly prone to present DIF. The DIF between the Indian and Swedish cohort for items in the subscale Disclosure Concerns could, however, result in both type I and type II errors if scores should be compared between the Indian and Swedish cohort

  • Development of a 12-item short version of the HIV stigma scale

    Open AccessMaria Reinius, Lena Wettergren et al.ARTICLEHealth and Quality of Life Outcomes2017

    BACKGROUND: Valid and reliable instruments for the measurement of enacted, anticipated and internalised stigma in people living with HIV are crucial for mapping trends in the prevalence of HIV-related stigma and tracking the effectiveness of stigma-reducing interventions. Although longer instruments exist, e.g., the commonly used 40-item HIV Stigma Scale by Berger et al., a shorter instrument would be preferable to facilitate the inclusion of HIV…
