Depressive symptoms mediate the association between loneliness and cognitive performance in women living with HIV
Open AccessMoka Yoo-Jeong, Ryan Herrschaft et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2026
Loneliness is a risk factor for cognitive impairment, yet, its role in domain-specific cognitive performance and underlying mechanisms remain understudied in women living with HIV (WLWH). To assess whether depressive symptoms mediate associations between loneliness and global and domain-specific cognition, data were analyzed from 1621 WLWH participating in the Women's Interagency HIV Study, a multicenter, observational cohort conducted in the Uni…

A web-based positive-affect intervention to reduce stress and improve well-being in women living with HIV – feasibility and acceptability of a single-arm, pilot study
Melanie E Freedman, Kathleen M Weber et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2024
Women living with HIV (WLWH) experience high rates of depression but are underrepresented in mental health research. Positive emotions are associated with beneficial health outcomes in WLWH and should be a targeted component of psychological interventions in this population. Positive psychological interventions aim to increase positive emotions through the use of simple exercises, such as keeping a gratitude journal. We conducted a single-arm fea…
Trauma Across the Life Span and Multisystem Morbidity in Women With HIV
Leah H Rubin, Pauline M Maki et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2023
OBJECTIVE: Sexual and physical abuse are highly prevalent among women living with HIV (WLWH) and are risk factors for the development of mental health and substance use disorders (MHDs, SUDs), and cognitive and medical comorbidities. We examined empirically derived patterns of trauma, MHD, and SUD, and associations with later cognitive and health outcomes. METHODS: A total of 1027 WLWH (average age = 48.6 years) in the Women's Interagency HIV Stu…
Glucocorticoid Receptor Function and Cognitive Performance in Women With HIV
Open AccessLeah H Rubin, Mandakh Bekhbat et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2022
OBJECTIVE: Alterations in glucocorticoid receptor (GCR) function may be a risk factor for cognitive complications among older people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We evaluated whether HIV serostatus and age modify the GCR function-cognition association among women. METHODS: Eighty women with HIV ( n = 40, 50 years of age [older]) and 80 HIV-uninfected women ( n = 40 older, n = 40 younger) enrolled in the Women's Interagency HIV Study c…
Early Life Trauma and Social Processing in HIV
Open AccessLeah H Rubin, Deeya Bhattacharya et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2022
OBJECTIVE: Early life trauma (ELT) and HIV are associated with social processing deficits. In people with HIV (PWH), we examined whether facial emotion identification accuracy differs by ELT and whether neuroendocrine factors including cortisol, oxytocin (OT), and arginine vasopressin, and/or immune system measures play a role in the ELT-performance association. METHODS: We used secondary data from the placebo condition of a pharmacologic challen…

Women's HIV disclosure to the dentist
Open AccessCarrigan Parish, Daniel J Feaster et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Health Dentistry2020
Study findings highlight that dentists who see their patients infrequently should consider methods for overcoming barriers to HIV nondisclosure and the possibility that their patient's HIV serostatus is undisclosed. Educating women living with HIV about how disclosure to dentists is a critical component of their dental assessment and treatment, and how preventive dental treatment can improve overall health outcomes, is important

Abuse, nocturnal stress hormones, and coronary heart disease risk among women with HIV
Sannisha K Dale, Kathleen M Weber et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2017
This study investigated the relationships among abuse, nocturnal levels of cortisol and norepinephrine (NE), and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk as measured by the Framingham risk score among women with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Participants (n = 53) from the Chicago Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS), a longitudinal prospective cohort study initiated in 1994, were enrolled in this study during 2012. At WIHS baseline and annual foll…

Neighborhood community characteristics associated with HIV disease outcomes in a cohort of urban women living with HIV
Jane K Burke-Miller, Kathleen M Weber et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2016
Recent studies have found geographic variations in immune and viral human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease outcomes associated with census measures of neighborhood poverty and segregation. Although readily available, such aggregate census measures are not based on health behavior models and provide limited information regarding neighborhood effect pathways. In contrast, survey-based measures can capture specific aspects of neighborhood disadv…
Perceived benefits and negative consequences of alcohol consumption in women living with HIV
Open AccessRobert L Cook, Christa Cook et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016
Many women living with HIV are drinking alcohol in order to self-manage pain or emotions, and their perceived consequences from drinking extend beyond HIV-specific medical issues. Most participants described themes related to psychological issues and situations that are common in women living with HIV. Interventions to address drinking should inquire more specifically about drinking to manage pain or emotion, and help women to recognize the poten…
Measurement of Neighborhood Context in an Urban Cohort of HIV-Infected or at Risk Low-Income Women
Jane K Burke-Miller, Kathleen M Weber et al.ARTICLEJournal of Poverty2016Referências: 5
The study of neighborhood disadvantage and health relies on census socioeconomic data but would benefit from reliable survey measures of factors that influence health within low income communities. The Perceptions of Neighborhood Environment Scale (PNES) was developed for use in the general U.S. population, and its measurement properties in a cohort of low-income urban women living with or at risk for HIV are described. The scale and all but one …
Abuse and Resilience in Relation to Haart Medication Adherence and HIV Viral Load Among Women with HIV in the United States
Sannisha K Dale, Sannisha Dale et al.ARTICLEAIDS Patient Care and STDs2014
Abuse is highly prevalent among HIV+ women, leading to behaviors, including lower adherence to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) that result in poor health outcomes. Resilience (functioning competently despite adversity) may buffer the negative effects of abuse. This study investigated how resilience interacted with abuse history in relation to HAART adherence, HIV viral load (VL), and CD4+ cell count among a convenience sample of 138 …

Predominantly low-income and African American women from the same community, HIV-infected ( n = 100; HIV+) and uninfected ( n = 42; HIV-), were assessed on reported gender roles in sexual and other close relationships-including levels of self-silencing, unmitigated communion, and sexual relationship power-at a single recent study visit during 2008-2012. Recent gender roles were investigated in relation to depressive symptoms and health-related qu…
