“I can’t fail. And my son can’t fail.”
Adolescents and young adults (AYA, aged 15–24) living with HIV have suboptimal antiretroviral treatment adherence compared to their adult counterparts, raising concerns of poor health and drug resistance. While it is known that AYA require caregiver and family support to successfully transition to HIV self-management, there has been limited engagement with caregivers to this end. To fill this gap, we examined caregivers’ experiences of navigating…
Facilitators and Barriers to Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Use Among Black Young and Older Adult Women in Baltimore
HIV Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) modalities and service delivery preferences among black cisgender emerging and older adult women in Baltimore, Maryland
To improve PrEP equity and initiation of current and emerging PrEP modalities, it is crucial to integrate the lived experiences and preferences of Black cisgender women and enhance their representation in PrEP messaging
Intersectional stigma and resilience among female sex workers in Namibia
HIV Stigma, HIV status disclosure, and ART adherence in the context of an integrated opioid use disorder and HIV treatment setting in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Little is known about social factors, including stigma, that affect antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence among people enrolled in opioid use disorder treatment (OUDT) in the context of integrated OUDT and HIV treatment models. We qualitatively examined the relationship between HIV stigma, HIV status disclosure, and ART adherence among clients living with HIV at an OUDT clinic with integrated HIV services in Tanzania. We conducted in-depth inter…
From trauma to transmission
These findings suggest trauma is common in the life history of WWUDHIV and has negative impacts on drug use and HIV vulnerability. Our life history charting highlights the cumulative and cyclical nature of trauma and drug use in this population. This study allows for better understanding of trauma, drug use, and HIV prevention, which offers opportunities for intervention among a group with limited access to services: during adolescence for orphan…
“You can only help them save the patient once they trust you”
While telemedicine applications in low- and middle-income countries are growing rapidly, few studies address the social and organizational factors of implementation essential to sustaining clinician engagement. This study aims to explore clinician experiences and perspectives of a pediatric emergency teleconsultation support program in Sindh, Pakistan, and theories of use behind its implementation in government hospitals. We conducted in-depth in…
Revisiting revitalization
Vacant housing can produce many issues that affect residents' quality of life, especially in historically segregated communities of color. To address these challenges, local governments invest in strategic, place-based revitalization initiatives focused on the regeneration of vacant housing. Yet, the outcomes of these efforts remain contested. To maximize health benefits of revitalization investments, a more nuanced understanding of pathways betw…
Structural, everyday, and symbolic violence and the heightened vulnerability to HIV of women who use drugs in Tanzania
Women who use drugs shoulder a disproportionate burden of the HIV epidemic in Tanzania. The mechanisms through which violence contributes to their excessively high rates of HIV have not been explored. In this paper, we use concepts of everyday, symbolic, and structural violence to critically examine the relationship between violence and heightened HIV vulnerability of women who use drugs in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. We conducted cross-sectional su…
High occurrence of witnessing an opioid overdose in a sample of women who use heroin in Tanzania
Time-space constraints to HIV treatment engagement among women who use heroin in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Reproductive identities following an HIV diagnosis
This study explores how living with HIV affects fertility desires and reproductive identities in a context where HIV is highly stigmatised and parenthood is highly valued. We conducted interviews with 30 women and 30 men living with HIV, and 30 health care providers in Iringa, Tanzania. Using the conceptual framework of biographical disruption, we analysed interviews to characterise strategies participants living with HIV employed to regain a sen…
Racial Disparities in Overdose Prevention among People Who Inject Drugs
“If I don’t have children, they will know that I’m sick”
As safer conception services are expanded and integrated into HIV care systems, these services will need to address cultural, social, economic and medical concerns of women and men living with HIV. We conducted interviews with 30 HIV-positive women, 30 HIV-positive men, and 30 healthcare providers that examined factors specific to the experience of living with HIV that influence fertility desires in Iringa, Tanzania. HIV-related factors fell unde…
Evaluating the Integrated Methadone and Anti-Retroviral Therapy Strategy in Tanzania Using the RE-AIM Framework
There are an estimated 50,000 people who inject drugs in Tanzania, with an HIV prevalence in this population of 42%. The Integrated Methadone and Anti-Retroviral Therapy (IMAT) strategy was developed to integrate HIV services into an opioid treatment program (OTP) in sub-Saharan Africa and increase anti-retroviral therapy (ART) initiation rates. In this paper, we evaluate the IMAT strategy using an implementation science framework to inform futur…
Stigma and drug use settings as correlates of self-reported, non-fatal overdose among people who use drugs in Baltimore, Maryland
Application of an ecological framework to examine barriers to the adoption of safer conception strategies by HIV-affected couples
Safer conception interventions can significantly reduce the risk of horizontal HIV transmission between HIV-serodiscordant partners. However, prior to implementing safer conception interventions, it is essential to understand potential barriers to their adoption so that strategies can be developed to overcome these barriers. This paper examines potential barriers to the adoption of safer conception strategies by HIV-affected couples in Iringa, Ta…

Childbearing Experiences Following an HIV Diagnosis in Iringa, Tanzania
People living with HIV (PLHIV) continue to have children after being diagnosed with HIV, yet little research attention has been paid to actual lived childbearing experiences of PLHIV post-HIV diagnosis. We interviewed 10 HIV-positive women and 11 HIV-positive men in Iringa, Tanzania, about their experiences of conceiving and having children after being diagnosed with HIV. We adopted an approach to data analysis based on grounded theory and phenom…
A Model of Cancer Clinical Trial Decision-making Informed by African-American Cancer Patients
Patient and provider perspectives on improving the linkage of HIV-positive pregnant women to long-term HIV care and treatment in eastern Uganda
Despite strong evidence that antiretroviral therapy (ART) reduces the risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV and improves the health of HIV-positive mothers, many HIV-positive pregnant women do not enrol into long-term HIV care and treatment. This study examined barriers and facilitators to the linkage of HIV-positive pregnant women from antenatal care (ANC) to long-term HIV care from patient and provider perspectives, following the implemen…
