Developing and assessing acceptability of a shared decision-making tool for selecting among HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis options in the United States of America
We developed a pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) shared decision-making tool to support people who could benefit from PrEP in reaching their prevention goals and preferences when considering two effective PrEP modalities, oral or long-acting injectable (LAI) PrEP, in partnership with their healthcare providers (HCPs). This 2-phase study included formative research to develop a PrEP shared decision-making tool prototype followed by a pilot study to …

The power of social media activism in the #YesAllWomen Movement
Social media has played a significant role in activism, with hashtags becoming a powerful tool for community organizing and raising awareness about social and political issues. Twitter, now X, supported the rise of hashtag activism. The hashtag #YesAllWomen gained widespread attention in 2014 after the murder of six women in retribution for one man’s feelings of rejection. Women used #YesAllWomen to publicly share experiences with sexism, harassm…
Longitudinal analysis of the role of mindfulness on HIV stigma, depression, substance use and HIV outcomes among female sex workers living with HIV in the Dominican Republic
Female sex workers (FSW) living with HIV experience greater depression and worse HIV outcomes than people living with HIV (PLHIV) overall. Mindfulness is related to lower depression and higher ART adherence in PLHIV. Few studies have assessed these relationships among FSW, especially longitudinally. This study assessed the temporal relationship between mindfulness, mental health and HIV outcomes among FSW from the Dominican Republic (DR). We anal…
Exploring the dynamics of the quality of HIV care experienced by female sex workers living in the Dominican Republic
Despite increased attention and efforts to improve HIV care among female sex workers (FSWs), they continue to have suboptimal HIV outcomes. Exploring the socio-structural dynamics related to the quality of HIV care received by FSWs is critical to further strengthen interventions to improve their HIV care continuum outcomes. In this study, we conducted two rounds of qualitative in-depth interviews with 20 FSWs living with HIV in the Dominican Repu…
Individual and Collective Forms of Stigma Resistance
“She is the one who knows”
Despite documented interest among female sex workers (FSW), uptake of oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention has been low. Recent trials and regulatory approval of long-acting injectable (LAI) PrEP offer new hope for the potential of this biomedical intervention. We examined FSW’s PrEP-related interest and preferences regarding both oral and LAI PrEP situating these dynamics within their specific social and occupational realities…

Assessing the Relationship Between HIV Quality of Care and Treatment Literacy on ART Adherence and Viral Suppression Among Female Sex Workers Living in the Dominican Republic
HIV-Related Intersectional Stigma and Discrimination Measurement
Background. Across settings, individuals from populations that are multiply stigmatized are at increased risk of HIV and experience worse HIV treatment outcomes. As evidence expands on how intersecting stigmatized identities and conditions influence HIV outcomes, researchers have used diverse quantitative approaches to measure HIV-related intersectional stigma and discrimination. To date, no clear consensus exists regarding how to best quantitati…
Acceptability and perceptions of HIV oral self-testing across settings
Rapid oral HIV self-tests (HIVST) have potential to increase the proportion of people who know their HIV status, especially among stigmatised populations. This study was embedded in two cohorts of female sex workers (FSW) in the Dominican Republic (DR) and Tanzania. Qualitative interviews with 40 FSW were conducted to explore perceived acceptability of HIVST. Interviews were analysed using inductive and deductive thematic coding. Emergent themes …
Development of the Experiences of Sex Work Stigma Scale Using Item Response Theory
While HIV stigma has received significant attention, limited work has been conducted on the measurement of intersecting stigmas. We developed the Experiences of Sex Work Stigma (ESWS) scale in the Dominican Republic (DR) and Tanzania. We conducted in-depth interviews with 20 female sex workers (FSW) per country to identify scale domains followed by cognitive debriefing interviews to assess content validity. Items were administered in a survey to …
Mindfulness, Mental Health and HIV Outcomes Among Female Sex Workers in the Dominican Republic and Tanzania
I feel empowered”
Long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy has been shown to be non-inferior to daily oral antiretroviral therapy in clinical trials and may soon become part of clinical care. While most trial participants to date have been men, approximately one quarter of ongoing Phase 3 trial participants are women offering an important opportunity to understand how long-acting antiretroviral therapy is perceived and experienced by women. We conducted in-de…

Exploring intergenerational changes in perceptions of gender roles and sexuality among Indigenous women in Oaxaca
The south of Mexico has traditionally faced disproportionate social, health and economic disadvantage relative to the rest of the country, due in part to lower levels of economic and human development, and barriers faced by Indigenous populations. The state of Oaxaca, in particular, has one of the highest proportions of Indigenous people and consistently displays high rates of maternal mortality, sexually transmitted infections and teenage pregna…
