Exploring Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) Knowledge in Incarcerated Men
People who are incarcerated have a disproportionately high risk of contracting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). While there is no known cure for HIV, there are biomedical approaches that can successfully manage the virus and prevent its transmission. A total of 267 men who are incarcerated completed a cross-sectional survey focused on cancer health, HIV prevention, and mental health in three state prisons. The mean age was 39 years. The majori…
Investigating the prevalence and predictors of food insecurity

Empirical investigation of a postmodern model of spirituality within the population of Republic of Ireland
Spirituality is a phenomenon which continues to attract much interest in the Western culture. Throughout the years, it has changed in form and developed in understanding. It has become unprecedentedly broad and embraced by many people, even those who do not consider themselves to be religious. Indeed, spirituality is a subject of debate within academic and non-academic circles regarding its shape, place, function, and definition. This debate and …
Construct Validity and Dimensionality of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and Its Association with Spiritual Values Within Irish Population
Until this research, correlation of Rosenberg's (1965) self-esteem scale (RSES), with religious and spiritual values, was never investigated using the measure as a twofold construct instead of the monolithic form. This research paper explores the prediction of RSES by spiritual values using a twofold structure of: self-esteem-positive (SEP) and self-esteem-negative (SEN), to specify individual and fragmented correlations with spirituality, which …
Minority Stress, Homonegativity, Alcohol Use and Mental Health Among College Gay Males
Minority stressors, extent of disclosure, and connection to the gay community were examined in relation to alcohol use and psychological strain in gay male students. This study examined whether membership in a campus-based lesbian, gay, and bisexual society acts as a cultural vulnerability for alcohol use while at the same time providing important coping resources that result in lower levels of psychological distress. Members did not differ from …
O6-4.2 HIV mortality and infection in India
Introduction To determine the rates of death and infection from HIV in India in a nationally-representative survey of deaths among 1.1 million homes. Methods Survey of 123 000 deaths at all ages from 2001 to 2003. Main outcome measures HIV mortality and infection. Results HIV accounted for 8.1% (99% CI 5.0% to 11.2%) of all deaths among adults aged 25–34 years. In this age group, about 40% of deaths from HIV were due to AIDS and 26% were due to t…
