Effect of a Community-Level HIV Prevention Intervention on Psychosocial Determinants of HIV Risk Behaviors among Young Black Men Who Have Sex with Men (YBMSM)
Impact of Ebola experiences and risk perceptions on mental health in Sierra Leone, July 2015
BACKGROUND: The mental health impact of the 2014-2016 Ebola epidemic has been described among survivors, family members and healthcare workers, but little is known about its impact on the general population of affected countries. We assessed symptoms of anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the general population in Sierra Leone after over a year of outbreak response. METHODS: We administered a cross-sectional survey in…

Impact evaluation of a community-based intervention to reduce risky sexual behaviour among female sex workers in Shanghai, China
Following a preventive intervention among Shanghai FSWs, our findings demonstrate that a simple, community-based educational intervention improved overall condom use, HIV and STI knowledge, and attitudes in relation to HIV/AIDS. The intervention should be implemented widely after tailoring educational materials regarding condom negotiation with different partner types (i.e., commercial sex clients and primary partners)

On the Efficacy and Mediation of a One-on-One HIV Risk-Reduction Intervention for African American Men Who Have Sex with Men
We examined the efficacy and mediation of Being Responsible for Ourselves (BRO), an HIV/STI risk-reduction intervention for African American men who have sex with men (MSM), the population with the highest HIV-diagnosis rate in the US. We randomized African American MSM to one of two interventions: BRO HIV/STI risk-reduction, targeting condom use; or attention-matched control, targeting physical activity and healthy diet. The interventions were b…
Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial of an HIV/Sexually Transmitted Infection Risk-Reduction Intervention for South African Men
Objectives. We tested the efficacy of a sexual risk-reduction intervention for men in South Africa, where heterosexual exposure is the main mode of HIV transmission. Methods. Matched-pairs of neighborhoods in Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, were randomly selected and within pairs randomized to 1 of 2 interventions based on social cognitive theory and qualitative research: HIV/sexually transmitted infection (STI) risk-reduction, targeting con…
Drinking Motives Among HIV Primary Care Patients
HealthCall
To reduce non-injection drug use (NIDU) among HIV primary care patients, more than a single brief intervention may be needed, but clinic resources are often too limited for extended interventions. To extend brief motivational interviewing (MI) to reduce NIDU, we designed and conducted a pilot study of "HealthCall," consisting of brief (1-3 minutes) daily patient calls reporting NIDU and health behaviors to a telephone-based interactive voice resp…
Associations Between Partner-Venue Specific Personal Responsibility Beliefs and Transmission Risk Behavior by HIV-Positive Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM)
Sampling hidden populations
This paper describes a flexible, multi-stage, nonprobability sampling process used in a study of persons recently diagnosed as HIV-positive (PRDH). From July 2007 to June 2008, we used venue and chain-referral sampling strategies to recruit PRDH in the US. We sought equal distributions (n = 20) of eligible PRDH from four self-identified subgroups: gay or bisexual men (GBM), heterosexual men (HM), heterosexual women (HW), and male-tofemale transge…
Translating HIV interventions into practice
Moral agency and the sexual transmission of HIV
Sexual transmission of HIV occurs because an infected person has unprotected sex with a previously uninfected person. The majority of HIV infections are transmitted by individuals who are unaware of their infection, and most persons who are diagnosed with HIV significantly reduce or eliminate risk behaviors once they learn they have HIV. However, a minority of known-infected individuals engage in transmission risk behavior, sometimes without disc…

Effects on Sexual Risk Behavior and STD Rate of Brief HIV/STD Prevention Interventions for African American Women in Primary Care Settings
Objectives. We tested the efficacy of brief HIV/sexually transmitted disease (STD) risk-reduction interventions for African American women in primary care settings. Methods. In a randomized controlled trial, 564 African American women recruited at a Newark, NJ, inner-city women’s health clinic were assigned to a 20-minute one-on-one HIV/STD behavioral skill-building intervention, 200-minute group HIV/STD behavioral skill-building intervention, 20…
Beliefs about Personal and Partner Responsibility among HIV-Seropositive Men Who Have Sex with Men
Recruitment Source and Behavioral Risk Patterns of HIV-Positive Men Who have Sex with Men
Stress, emotion, and human immune function
This article provides a review of empirical evidence linking emotional processes to immune function in humans. Acute stressors have produced mixed effects on immunity, presumably through differential activation of physiological stress systems. Chronic stress has been associated with suppression of immune function, and there is evidence that the immune system may not adapt over time. Effects of stress accompanying social disruption and psychologic…

Women at Risk for HIV from a Primary Partner
Women are being devastated by the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the U.S. and all over the world, most infections occurring via heterosexual activity with a primary partner. Although a number of evaluations of behavioral risk-reduction interventions for women have been reported, many suffer from methodological problems that weaken confidence in their findings. It is clear that, despite statistically significant intervention effects, many women are unable t…

Impact of perceived self-efficacy in coping with stressors on components of the immune system
This experiment examined the impact of experimentally varied perceived self-efficacy in exercising control over stressors on components of the immunological system. Immunological changes while coping with phobic stressors were measured within an intrasubject control design that included a baseline phase, an efficacy-acquisition phase, and a maximal-efficacy phase. In each of these phases, perceived coping self-efficacy, level of autonomic and end…

Perceived self-efficacy and pain control
In this experiment, we tested for opioid and nonopioid mechanisms of pain control through cognitive means and the relation of opioid involvement to perceived coping efficacy. Subjects were taught cognitive methods of pain control, were administered a placebo, or received no intervention. Their pain tolerance was then measured at periodic intervals after they were administered either a saline solution or naloxone, an opiate antagonist that blocks …

Disproportionate Rates of Incarceration Contribute to Health Disparities
The theme of the October 2005 issue of the Journal was the public health consequences of imprisonment. This issue illuminated the wide-ranging health care needs of the more than 2.2 million men—most of whom are African American—who are incarcerated in the United States. Persistent health disparities characterize impoverished communities with large numbers of men who are locked away with limited access to quality health care and treatment,1 and th…

Association Between Subjective Sleep Quality and Depression on Immunocompetence in Low-Income Women at Risk for Cervical Cancer
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether subjective sleep quality is more strongly associated with immunocompetence than depression among women at risk for cervical cancer. METHODS: Participants were 91 women referred for colposcopy because of abnormal results on a Pap smear. On the day of the procedure. participants completed the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, two indices of subjective sleep quality (…
