  • Associations with sub-optimal clinic attendance and reasons for missed appointments among heterosexual women and men living with HIV in London

    Open AccessAlison Howarth, Vanessa Apea et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2022

    Poor engagement in HIV care is associated with poorer health outcomes and increased mortality. Our survey examined experiential and circumstantial factors associated with clinic attendance among women (n = 250) and men (n = 106) in London with heterosexually-acquired HIV. While no associations were found for women, among men, sub-optimal attendance was associated with insecure immigration status (25.6% vs. 1.8%), unstable housing (32.6% vs. 10.2%…

  • Correlation between computerised and standard cognitive testing in people with HIV and HIV-negative individuals

    Davide De Francesco, Jonathan Underwood et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2021

    We investigated the correlations and agreement between cognitive assessments made using a computerised (CogStateTM, six domains) and a standard pen-and-paper battery (five domains) in PWH and lifestyle-similar HIV-negative individuals. Demographically adjusted domain and global T-scores were obtained and used to define cognitive impairment according to the multivariate normative comparison (MNC) criteria. Correlations between T-scores and the agr…

  • Acceptability of HIV self-sampling kits (Tiny vial) among people of black African ethnicity in the UK

Most significantly, these findings demonstrate that without a strong…

  • Factors associated with testing for HIV in people aged ≥50 years

    Open AccessElaney Youssef, Juliet Wright et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    Some factors associated with testing identified in this study were unique to older individuals. People aged ≥50 years often do not perceive themselves to be at risk of HIV. Further, stigma and a lack of knowledge of how to access HIV testing suggest a need for health promotion and suggest current sexual health services may need to adapt to better meet their needs
