Associations Between Healthcare Discrimination, Medical Mistrust, and Covid-19 Vaccine Uptake Among Young Black Adults in the Southern United States
Racial inequities related to COVID-19 exposure, morbidity, mortality, and access to care in the United States (U.S.) are notable, and COVID-19 vaccine uptake is lower among Black Americans than White Americans. Yet, mechanisms linking healthcare experiences to COVID-19 vaccination behavior among young adults are not well characterized. We analyzed cross-sectional data collected between March and June 2023 from 360 Black young adults (ages 18–29) …
“My Dream Would Be Shut Down
This study examines how social and family environments shape the future orientation and aspirations of adolescents (ages 13–15) in an agricultural, predominantly Latine community in California. We analyzed data from 80 in-depth interviews conducted with 40 participants over two years as part of the A Crecer study. We found that while youth recognized how financial hardship and anti-immigrant policies could hinder their goals, they also drew stren…
The Relationship Between Financial Well-Being and Antiretroviral Therapy Adherence in Youth with HIV in the United States
Youth and young adults experience high attrition across the HIV care continuum, including elevated risk of antiretroviral therapy (ART) nonadherence and virologic failure. This study examined how financial well-being relates to ART adherence among youth with HIV (YWH), including those using oral or LAI-based regimens. We analyzed baseline data from YWH aged 18–29 years in the United States enrolled between 2023 and 2025 in a randomized controlled…
Wellness-based HIV prevention counseling for young sexual/gender minorities of color in the United States
Providers often counsel young sexual/gender minority (YSGM) of color about HIV "risk" in ways that feel unrelatable and stigmatizing. Our study explored: (1) needs for sexual wellness-based HIV prevention among 18-29-year-old YSGM of color, (2) challenges and opportunities in using this counseling approach, and (3) preliminary feasibility and acceptability of a wellness-based counseling intervention. Aim 1 collected surveys and in-depth interview…
Sexual Relationship Typologies, Multilevel Determinants, and HIV Among Adolescent Mothers in Eastern and Southern Africa
In Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA), there is heterogeneity within adolescent mothers' (AMs') sexual relationships. However, existing studies focus on single relationship characteristics, even though these characteristics do not operate in isolation. Moreover, no studies have examined multilevel predictors of AMs' relationships. Identifying and characterizing typologies by multilevel factors can inform targeted interventions to lower HIV risk. D…
Examining pathways by which socioeconomic instability in adolescence influence sexual health during emerging adulthood in an agricultural setting in California
This study investigates the longitudinal impact of socioeconomic instability on teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection (STI) diagnosis among adolescents and young adults (AYA) living in an agricultural region and examines pathways including supportive family and social structures, decision making autonomy in romantic relationships, health access, mental health and coping behaviors, and perceptions of future opportunities. Data were dra…
Relationships Between Vaccine Knowledge, Hesitancy, and Conspiracy Beliefs on Covid-19, Influenza, and HPV Vaccination
The Impact of Covid-19 on Racial and Ethnic Disparities in HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Retention
Retention in pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) care-defined as receiving a fourth PrEP prescription within 12 months of initiation-remains a major challenge for young adults and individuals minoritized by race and ethnicity in the United States (U.S.), particularly after disruptions in care from the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This study examined changes in PrEP retention before and after COVID-19 among clients ages 18-29 years at…
Qualitative Results from a Pilot Study of an Automated Directly Observed Therapy Intervention Using Artificial Intelligence with Conditional Economic Incentives among Young Adults with HIV
Stress-responsive biomarkers and sexual behaviors among young women in rural South Africa
BACKGROUND: Adolescence is a critical period when youth develop their decision-making skills and may engage in their first sexual encounters. Stress during this time can affect decision making; however, limited research has examined the relationship between biological stress correlates and sexual behavior among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in high-HIV incidence areas. PURPOSE: To examine whether stress-responsive biomarkers are longitu…
Acceptability of the dapivirine vaginal ring for HIV-1 prevention among women reporting engagement in transactional sex
We assessed if acceptability of the dapivirine vaginal ring for HIV prevention differed among the subgroup of women who reported engaging in transactional sex prior to enrollment in MTN-020/ASPIRE (phase III trial in Malawi, South Africa, Uganda, and Zimbabwe, 2012-2015; n = 2629). Transactional sex was defined as receipt of money, goods, gifts, drugs, or shelter in exchange for sex in the past year. Dimensions of acceptability included: ease of …
Trajectories of intimate partner violence and their relationship to stress among young women in South Africa
BACKGROUND: One in four South African women will experience intimate partner violence (IPV) in their lifetime, potentially increasing their biological stress. In South Africa, limited IPV and stress research has utilized multiple timepoints or examined modifying factors. Cash transfers (CTs) are associated with reduced IPV and stress and may be an intervention target. AIMS: We used data-driven methods to identify longitudinal IPV trajectory group…

Depression Among Pregnant and Breastfeeding Persons Participating in Two Randomized Trials of the Dapivirine Vaginal Ring and Oral Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) in Malawi, South Africa, Uganda, and …
Developmental Trajectories of Transactional Sex and Age-Disparate Relationships During Adolescence
Acceptability of the Dapivirine Vaginal Ring and Daily Oral Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) during Pregnancy in Malawi, South Africa, Uganda, and Zimbabwe
Pregnant and lactating persons in sub-Saharan Africa face a heightened risk of HIV acquisition, due to biological and behavioral factors, combined with limited access to prevention and treatment services. Oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and the dapivirine vaginal ring are promising tools for HIV prevention, and the ring's recent approval in multiple African countries represents a significant advancement in expanding access to HIV prevention.…
Assessing the durability of a cash transfer on physical intimate partner violence and sexual relationships among adolescent girls and young women in rural South Africa
The cash transfer reduced AGYW's risk of IPV, though effects were attenuated after the cash ended. Provision of cash during adolescence - a period when AGYW are highly susceptible to IPV and HIV - may empower them in their current relationship and yield long term health benefits
Exploring the relationship between anticipated stigma and community shared concerns about HIV on defaulting from HIV care in rural South Africa
In this sample, we found limited impact of reducing anticipated stigma and increasing shared concern about HIV on retention in care. Future studies should consider the limitations of this study by examining the influence of other sources of stigma in more detail and assessing how perceptions of stigma and concern impact the full HIV testing and care cascade
Intimate partner violence is associated with cytomegalovirus among young women in rural South Africa
Stressful life circumstances (e.g. violence and poverty) have been associated with elevated biomarkers, including C-reactive protein (CRP), cytomegalovirus (CMV), and herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1), among older adults in high-income settings. Yet, it remains unknown whether these relationships exist among younger populations in resource-limited settings. We therefore utilised a cohort of 1,279 adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) from the…
Acceptability of the Dapivirine Vaginal Ring and Oral Truvada Among African Users in Late-Stage of Pregnancy
The Microbicide Trials Network 042 study (MTN-042/DELIVER) is a two-arm, randomized, open-label Phase 3b trial that is evaluating the safety, adherence, and acceptability of the monthly ring and daily oral PrEP among HIV-uninfected pregnant people in four African countries. This analysis focuses on acceptability data captured qualitatively from a subset (n = 48) of the 150 people in the first cohort of the trial who were enrolled in late-stage pr…

Baseline Predictors of High Adherence to a Coitally Dependent Microbicide Gel Based on an Objective Marker of Use
A randomized, placebo-controlled, efficacy trial of Carraguard was unable to demonstrate a reduction in women's risk of HIV infection, which may have been due, in part, to low adherence (gel used in 42 % of vaginal sex acts, on average). A secondary analysis was undertaken to understand baseline factors associated with high adherence (gel used in ≥85 % of sex acts). Women who reported ≥1 vaginal sex act, returned ≥1 opened applicator, and had ≥1 …

The effects of a cash transfer intervention on sexual partnerships and HIV in the HPTN 068 study in South Africa
Evidence on cash transfer interventions for HIV prevention in adolescent girls and young women is unclear and indicates that they may not work uniformly in all settings. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 22 girls and young women post-intervention to determine how a cash transfer study (HPTN 068) in South Africa was perceived to influence sexual behaviours and to explore mechanisms for these changes. Participants described how the interve…

Trajectories of PrEP Adherence Among Young Women Aged 16 to 25 in Cape Town, South Africa
Modeling Cash Plus Other Psychosocial and Structural Interventions to Prevent HIV Among Adolescent Girls and Young Women in South Africa (HPTN 068)
Poverty alleviation programs can reduce HIV incidence but may have greater impacts when combined with other psychosocial interventions. We modeled the change in HIV incidence among South African adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) associated with combining a cash transfer (the South African Child Support Grant (CSG)) with other structural and behavioral interventions. We modeled observational data from the HPTN 068 study where 2328 HIV negati…
The Influence of Perceived Dapivirine Vaginal Ring Effectiveness on Social Disclosure and Ring Adherence
Sexual Harassment of Students at Institutions of Higher Education
Attention to sexual misconduct has focused on acquaintance rape, leaving a need for research on less highly recognizable forms of harm. We estimated institution of higher education (IHE)-specific prevalence of yellow zone sexual harassment (SH) among students at 27 IHEs. We then examined SH and perceived risk of sexual assault/misconduct, knowledge regarding policies/resources, and perceptions of sexual misconduct response. Between 37.1% and 55.7…
