Community Connectedness and Its Association with Stigma and Viral Suppression Among MSM with HIV
Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) continue to be disproportionately affected by HIV in the United States, with viral suppression rates among MSM across varied racial and ethnic groups remaining below national targets. Stigma is a major barrier to viral suppression, while community connectedness may serve as a protective factor. However, few studies have examined whether different forms of community connectedness are associa…
Stigma and other correlates of self-esteem and depression in cisgender men and transfeminine persons with HIV who have sex with men in Kenya, Malawi, and South Africa (HPTN 075)
HIV-related stigma profoundly impacts individuals living with HIV, hindering self-esteem and access to treatment. Few studies, if any, have assessed the effects of stigma on depression and self-esteem among men who have sex with men (MSM) and transfeminine persons (TFP) with HIV in African settings. We explored factors, including various forms of stigma, contributing to low self-esteem and poor mental health among 71 MSM and TFP in Kenya, Malawi,…
Motivations for Starting and Stopping PrEP
Oral PrEP effectiveness depends on consistent use during periods of potential HIV exposure, but adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) find this challenging. Data on PrEP use decision-making and alignment with risk among AGYW are limited. From 2016 to 2018, we conducted in-depth interviews with participants in HPTN 082, an open-label PrEP study in South Africa and Zimbabwe, to explore reasons for PrEP starts, stops, and restarts. Of 60 PrEP acce…
Interest in Oral Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Among Men Who Have Sex with Men and Transfeminine Persons in HPTN 075, a Multi-center HIV Prevention Study in Sub-Saharan Africa (2015–2017)
Acceptability and Preferences of Two Different Community Models of ART Delivery in a High Prevalence Urban Setting in Zambia
Community delivery of Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a novel innovation to increase sustainable ART coverage for People living with HIV (PLHIV) in resource limited settings. Within a nested cluster-randomised sub-study in two urban communities that participated in the HPTN 071 (PopART) trial in Zambia we investigated individual acceptability and preferences for ART delivery models. Stable PLHIV were enrolled in a cluster-randomized trial of thre…
Understanding the Time Needed to Link to Care and Start ART in Seven HPTN 071 (PopART) Study Communities in Zambia and South Africa
To achieve UNAIDS 90:90:90 targets at population-level, knowledge of HIV status must be followed by timely linkage to care, initiation and maintenance of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for all people living with HIV (PLHIV). Interpreting quantitative patterns using qualitative data, we investigate time taken to link to care and initiate ART amongst individuals aware of their HIV-status in high HIV-prevalence urban communities in the HPTN 071 (PopAR…
