Imported female genital schistosomiasis
Female genital schistosomiasis (FGS) is one of the most neglected tropical diseases in the world, affecting over 56 million women and girls in Africa alone. It is a sequala of Schistosoma haematobium infection and is characterised by lesions on the cervix and other reproductive structures. Schistosomiasis and FGS are prevalent in women living in, migrating from, or traveling to Schistosoma haematobium-endemic countries. FGS is associated with sig…
Investigating associations between maternal neural responsivity and infant developmental outcomes
Maternal responsiveness plays an important role in child development. Event-related potentials can be used to examine neural mechanisms underlying maternal responsivity. Here, associations between neural markers of maternal responsivity and five child development domains-cognitive, language, motor, adaptive behavior, and social-emotional development-were examined in 94 mothers ( M age = 29.19 years; 41% African American, 28% Caucasian, 19% Hispan…
Maternal Psychological Trauma Assessed Prenatally and Offspring Outcomes
Psychologically traumatic experiences can have long-lasting physical and mental health effects on pregnant people, increasing the risk of adverse pregnancy, childbirth, and neonatal outcomes. The effect of maternal psychological trauma, assessed prenatally, on offspring outcomes throughout development is understudied. This secondary analysis of a systematic review investigated the scope of research examining links between prenatally assessed mate…
Operationalizing psychological trauma in pregnancy
Findings indicate significant variability in the conceptualization of psychological trauma during pregnancy. A more comprehensive assessment of psychological trauma beginning in the first trimester and repeated across the prenatal period is needed. Such an approach will be critical to the implementation of trauma-informed care to optimize the health and well-being of pregnant women and other perinatal individuals and their developing child and fa…
Medical Mistrust and Willingness to Use Long-Acting PrEP Among Black and Hispanic/Latino MSM
Global variation in the assessment of psychological trauma in pregnancy
A history of psychologically traumatic experiences can impact health outcomes for pregnant people and their infants. The perception and prevalence of traumatic experiences during pregnancy may differ by geographical region. To better understand trends in how and what kinds of psychological trauma are assessed globally, we conducted a secondary analysis on a larger systematic review examining psychological trauma measurement in pregnancy. Through …

Interest in and Uptake of Postabortion Long-Acting Reversible Contraception After Counseling at a Free-Standing Abortion Care Ambulatory Surgery Center, Atlanta, Georgia, 2017‒2018
We sought to determine the impact of brief previsit counseling on long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) interest and uptake immediately after abortion. We conducted a randomized controlled trial at a free-standing abortion care ambulatory surgery center in metro-Atlanta, Georgia (2017–2018). Among 1270 women, a brief previsit counseling intervention increased interest in LARC by 4.5 percentage points, and interest in LARC after the interven…

Loss to follow-up among female sex workers in Zambia
HIV-incidence studies are used to identify at-risk populations for HIV-prevention trials and interventions, but loss to follow-up (LTFU) can bias results if participants who remain differ from those who drop out. We investigated the incidence of and factors associated with LTFU among Zambian female sex workers (FSWs) in an HIV-incidence cohort from 2012 to 2017. Enrolled participants returned at month one, month three and quarterly thereafter. FS…

Couples’ voluntary HIV counseling and testing provider training evaluation, Zambia
With the expansion of couples' voluntary HIV counseling and testing (CVCT) in urban Zambia, there is a growing need to evaluate CVCT provider trainings to ensure that couples are receiving quality counseling and care. We evaluated provider knowledge scores, pre- and post-training and predictors of pre- and post-training test scores. Providers operating in 67 government clinics in four Copperbelt Province cities were trained from 2008 to 2013 in t…
Factors associated with sterilization among HIV-positive US women in an urban outpatient clinic
This cross-sectional study sought to determine factors associated with sterilization among HIV-positive US women. HIV-positive women aged 18-45 completed an Audio Computer Assisted Self Interview (ACASI) questionnaire. Chi-square tests and multivariable logistic regression evaluated factors associated with sterilization. The median age of the 187 participants was 37, the majority had at least a high school education, and 88% were African American…
Risky Sex and HIV Acquisition Among HIV Serodiscordant Couples in Zambia, 2002–2012
In this paper we evaluate the effects of heavy alcohol consumption on sexual behavior, HIV acquisition, and antiretroviral treatment (ART) initiation in a longitudinal open cohort of 1929 serodiscordant couples in Lusaka, Zambia from 2002 to 2012. We evaluated factors associated with baseline heavy alcohol consumption and its association with condomless sex with the study partner, sex outside of the partnership, and ART initiation using multivari…
Promotion of couples’ voluntary HIV counseling and testing
CVCT has long been endorsed for HIV prevention but few couples have been reached. Influential social networks can successfully promote evidence-based HIV prevention in Africa. Support from more senior INLs and group presentations leveraged INAs' one-on-one promotions. The INL/INA model was effective in promoting couples to seek joint HIV testing and counseling and may have broader application to other sub-Saharan African countries to sustainably …
Implementation of an electronic fingerprint-linked data collection system
BACKGROUND: Patient identification within and between health services is an operational challenge in many resource-limited settings. When following HIV risk groups for service provision and in the context of vaccine trials, patient misidentification can harm patient care and bias trial outcomes. Electronic fingerprinting has been proposed to identify patients over time and link patient data between health services. The objective of this study was…
Implementation of couples’ voluntary HIV counseling and testing services in Durban, South Africa
Implementation of standard CVCT services was found to be feasible in Durban. The burden of HIV and couple serodiscordance in Durban was extremely high. CVCT would greatly benefit couples in Durban as an HIV prevention strategy
Actor-partner effects associated with experiencing intimate partner violence or coercion among male couples enrolled in an HIV prevention trial
These findings from an HIV prevention RCT for MSM show considerable levels of IPV experienced in the past 3-months and coercion to participate in the research study, indicating the need for screening tools and support services for these behaviors. The identification of factors associated with IPV and coercion demonstrate the importance of considering actor and partner effects, as well as dyadic-level effects, to improve development of screening t…
The Prevalence of Undiagnosed HIV Serodiscordance Among Male Couples Presenting for HIV Testing
Frequency of Sexual Activity With Most Recent Male Partner Among Young, Internet-Using Men Who Have Sex With Men in the United States
Sex frequency, defined here as the number of oral or anal sex acts with the most recent partner in the past year, is a potential driver of risk for sexually transmitted infections. However, few data on sex frequency have been reported for men who have sex with men (MSM). Data from an Internet survey of MSM were used to describe sex frequency with most recent main and casual male partners and to estimate factors associated with higher sex frequenc…
