HIV Testing Service Utilization Among Transgender Communities
What, how, and when matters
HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), particularly long-acting injectable formulations (LAI PrEP), has the potential to reduce the number of new infections among people who inject drugs (PWID), especially in low resource settings in the context of low coverage of harm reduction services, high HIV incidence, and substance use and instability. Few studies have examined PrEP perceptions, preferences, and service delivery models among these population…
Characterizing non-fatal overdose among people who inject drugs in India
We observed a variable burden of non-fatal overdose associated with high injection frequency, combination drug use, alcohol use, attending medical detoxification, and depressive symptoms. Low levels of subsequent linkage to treatment services suggest opportunities to improve overdose prevention and management
People who inject drugs and men who have sex with men living with HIV in India experience low probability of viral rebound and high levels of persistent viremia during the first 12 months of antiretro…
People who inject drugs (PWID) and men who have sex with men (MSM) in India are disproportionately affected by HIV and experience challenges achieving sustained viral suppression. We evaluated probabilities of suppression over time and characteristics associated with persistent viremia and viral rebound among MSM and PWID living with HIV (PLHIV) using 12 months of data collected between 2017-2019 from a cluster-randomized trial across 16 cities i…
High hepatitis C virus reinfection in a community-based sample of people who inject drugs in Imphal, India
Changes in HIV care continuum indicators among community-based samples of HIV-infected people who inject drugs and men who have sex with men across 21 cities in India
Monitoring key populations’ progress towards UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets is essential to achieving HIV/AIDS epidemic control. Using serial cross-sectional data, we evaluated changes in HIV care continuum among people who inject drugs(PWID) and men who have sex with men(MSM) in India. Cross-sectional baseline (2012/2013) and follow-up (2016/2017) samples were recruited using respondent-driven sampling across 21 cities. All participants were tested for…
Substance use is associated with condomless anal intercourse among men who have sex with men in India
To reduce HIV transmission among this population of MSM across India, combination interventions are likely needed. Interventions targeting substance use and education as well as initiatives to increase self-testing are urgently needed among MSM in India and have the potential to reduce HIV transmission in this high-risk population. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01686750. Date of Registration: September 18, 2012
Drug use stigma and its association with active hepatitis C virus infection and injection drug use behaviors among community-based people who inject drugs in India
Overlap between harm reduction and HIV service utilisation among PWID in India
Hepatitis C care continuum and associated barriers among people who inject drugs in Chennai, India
Is there synergy in syndemics? Psychosocial conditions and sexual risk among men who have sex with men in India
Syndemic theory describes the clustering and synergistic interaction of disease driven by contextual and social factors, which worsen health outcomes for a population, and has been applied to men who have sex with men (MSM) and their risk for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. Recent reviews, however, have critiqued prevailing approaches in syndemic studies that assess only additive associations without evaluation of synergy. Followin…
Getting to 90
UNAIDS set an ambitious target of "90-90-90" by 2020. The first 90 being 90% of those HIV-infected will be diagnosed; the second 90 being 90% of those diagnosed will be linked to medical care and on antiretroviral therapy (ART). While there has been dramatic improvement in HIV testing and ART use, substantial losses continue to occur at linkage-to-care following HIV diagnosis. Data on linkage among men who have sex with men (MSM) and people who i…
The prevalence and impact of childhood sexual abuse on HIV-risk behaviors among men who have sex with men (MSM) in India
This large, mixed-methods study found high overall prevalence of CSA among MSM (22.4 %), with substantially higher prevalence among MSM residing in the South and among more feminine sexual identities. Qualitative findings highlighted boys' vulnerabilities to CSA, especially gender nonconformity, and CSA's role in further sexual encounters, including sex work. Additionally, CSA was associated with an elevated rate of recent, and an even higher rat…
