HIV Seroprevalence, Incidence, and Viral Suppression Among Ugandan Males with Bar or Sex Worker Partners
Female bar or sex workers (FBSWs) in Eastern Africa experience a high burden of HIV, but population-level data on HIV seroprevalence, incidence, and viral suppression among their male partners are limited. We identified 2,420 men who had ever reported sex with FBSWs in the past year among 17,438 male participants through longitudinal population-based HIV surveillance in southern Uganda (2013-2020), spanning four surveys in four Lake Victoria fish…
Patterns of Polysubstance Use in Young Black and Latinx Sexual Minority Men and Transgender Women and Its Association with Sexual Partnership Factors
Background: Adult studies have demonstrated that polysubstance use increases HIV acquisition risk through increased sexual behaviors, however, few studies have examined polysubstance in young Black and Latinx sexual minority men (SMM) and transgender women (TW). Methods: We used cross-sectional data from 466 young Black and Latinx SMM and TW living in four high HIV-burden US cities enrolled in the PUSH Study, a status-neutral randomized control t…

By gaining a deeper understanding of the epidemiologic and broader policy and social con…
