Linkage to care after HIV diagnosis among men who have sex with men and transgender women in Lima, Peru
In Lima, Perú, HIV prevalence is estimated to be 15% among men who have sex with men (MSM) and 30% among transgender women (TW). We investigated timely linkage of MSM and TW to HIV care, as linkage to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is critical to protect the health of those living with HIV and to prevent onward transmission. We investigated linkage within 90 days of HIV diagnosis by matching data from two studies conducted in Lima between 2013 and …
Persistence of oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among adolescent girls and young women initiating PrEP for HIV prevention in Kenya
The Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored, and Safe (DREAMS) Initiative aims to reduce HIV infections among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in Africa. Oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is offered through DREAMS in Kenya to eligible AGYW in high burden counties including Kisumu and Homa Bay. This study examines PrEP persistence among AGYW in high burden community-based PrEP delivery settings. We evaluated PrEP persistenc…

Less is known about if certain psychosocial characteristics pre-diagnosis may also predict linkage to care among individuals who receive an HIV-positive diagnosis. We examined if pre-diagnosis awareness/perception about HIV-related stigma and dispositional co…

Many Emergency Departments (EDs) have HIV screening programs as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Recent federal legislation includes incentives for electronic health record (EHR) adoption. Our objective was to analyze the impact of conversion to EHR on a mature ED-based HIV screening program. A retrospective pre- and …
