  In Washington State, the dynamic drug policy around fentanyl has not only transformed policing but also the ways people who use drugs make sense of their own practices. Drawing on in-depth interviews with 20 people who use both opioids and methamphetamine, this article shows how legislative changes associated with the changing “moral panic” from methamphetamine to fentanyl have affected how people conceptualize the health and legal risks associat…

  Background Alcohol and other drug (AOD) use is a growing public health problem among AYA and young adults (AYA) globally. AYA who are affected by HIV in low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs) may have high risk for AOD use problems, yet the context of AOD use remains an understudied area in this population. Method ology: In this qualitative study, we conducted 16 focus group discussions with HIV-affected AYA (ages 16-24), caregivers, and healthc…

  Alcohol use among persons living with HIV (PWH) can lead to poor disease outcomes. Disclosure of alcohol consumption to physicians is critical to inform HIV care. HIV stigma is associated with poor care engagement, and this relationship is partially mediated by depression. However, less is known about how HIV stigma and depression affect reporting of alcohol use to care providers. We used baseline data from an HIV intervention trial of 330 adult …

  Cigarette smoking is a leading cause of mortality in people with HIV (PWH) in the United States (US). A rising proportion of US tobacco users smoke non-daily, a phenomenon that is common among PWH. PWH who smoke non-daily may be attractive targets for cessation efforts, and, thus, a fuller understanding of non-daily smoking in PWH is important. We merged datasets from two randomized controlled tobacco treatment trials for PWH conducted in three c…
