  • Diet, physical activity, and obesity among ART-experienced people with HIV in South Africa

    Open AccessEmily P Hyle, Emily B Martey et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2023

    The prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is increasing in South Africa, in part due to poor nutrition, physical inactivity, and obesity. We characterized the habits and understanding of diet, exercise, and obesity among people with HIV (PWH) taking antiretroviral therapy (ART). We conducted a cross-sectional study of ART-experienced PWH attending an HIV community health center near Cape Town, South Africa. We included PWH currently pres…

  • Modeling Adherence Interventions Among Youth with HIV in the United States

    Open AccessAnne M Neilan, Audrey C Bangs et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2021

    The Adolescent Medicine Trials Network for HIV/AIDS Interventions is evaluating treatment adherence interventions (AI) to improve virologic suppression (VS) among youth with HIV (YWH). Using a microsimulation model, we compared two strategies: standard-of-care (SOC) and a hypothetical 12-month AI that increased cohort-level VS in YWH in care by an absolute ten percentage points and cost $100/month/person. Projected outcomes included primary HIV t…

  • A cohort study to assess a communication intervention to improve linkage to HIV care in Nakivale Refugee Settlement, Uganda

    Open AccessKelli N O’laughlin, Ai Xu et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2020

    Communication interventions to enhance linkage to HIV care have been successful in sub-Saharan Africa but have not been assessed among refugees. Refugees and Ugandan nationals participating in HIV testing in Nakivale Refugee Settlement were offered weekly phone call and short message service (SMS) reminders. We assessed linkage to care and predictors of linkage within 90 days of testing, comparing Intervention participants to those unwilling or i…

  • The Lifetime Medical Cost Savings From Preventing HIV in the United States

    Bruce R Schackman, John A Fleishman et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2015Referências: 35

    OBJECTIVE: Enhanced HIV prevention interventions, such as preexposure prophylaxis for high-risk individuals, require substantial investments. We sought to estimate the medical cost saved by averting 1 HIV infection in the United States. METHODS: We estimated lifetime medical costs in persons with and without HIV to determine the cost saved by preventing 1 HIV infection. We used a computer simulation model of HIV disease and treatment (CEPAC) to p…

  • US medical specialty global health training and the global burden of disease

    Open AccessVanessa Kerry, Vanessa B Kerry et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2013

    BACKGROUND: Rapid growth in global health activity among US medical specialty education programs has lead to heterogeneity in types of activities and global health training models. The breadth and scope of this activity is not well chronicled. METHODS: Using a standardized search protocol, we examined the characteristics of US medical residency global health programs by number of programs, clinical specialty, nature of activity (elective, researc…

  • Barriers to care among people living with HIV in South Africa

    Laura M Bogart, Senica Chetty et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2013

    We collected qualitative data (semi-structured interviews with 11 healthcare providers and 10 patients; 8 focus groups with 41 patients) to identify barriers to linkage to care among people living with HIV in South Africa who were not yet taking antiretroviral treatment. Patients and providers identified HIV stigma as a sizable barrier. Patients felt that stigma-related issues were largely beyond their control, fearing discrimination if they disc…

  • Expanding provider-initiated HIV testing at STI clinics in China

    Joseph D Tucker, Rochelle P Walensky et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2012

    Despite expanding sexually transmitted epidemics in South China, the majority of patients presenting to sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinics are not routinely screened for HIV infection. Identifying barriers to offering HIV testing among STI care providers is an important public health priority. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of offering HIV testing among STI care providers in South China and reported physician bar…

  • Depressive Symptoms and Their Impact on Health-seeking Behaviors in Newly-diagnosed HIV-infected Patients in Durban, South Africa

  • Implementing Rapid HIV Testing With or Without Risk-Reduction Counseling in Drug Treatment Centers

    Lisa R Metsch, Daniel J Feaster et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2012Citada por: 5Referências: 18

    Objectives. We examined the effectiveness of risk reduction counseling and the role of on-site HIV testing in drug treatment. Methods. Between January and May 2009, we randomized 1281 HIV-negative (or status unknown) adults who reported no past-year HIV testing to (1) referral for off-site HIV testing, (2) HIV risk-reduction counseling with on-site rapid HIV testing, or (3) verbal information about testing only with on-site rapid HIV testing. Res…

  • Factors Associated with Refusal of Rapid HIV Testing in an Emergency Department

    Open AccessMary L Pisculli, William M Reichmann et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2010

    HIV screening studies in the emergency department (ED) have demonstrated rates of HIV test refusal ranging from 40-67%. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with refusal to undergo routine rapid HIV testing in an academic ED in Boston. HIV counselors offered routine testing to 1,959 patients; almost one-third of patients (29%) refused. Data from a self-administered survey were used to determine independent correlates of HIV testin…

  • Late diagnosis of HIV infection at two academic medical centers

    M Jean-Jacques, Muriel Jean‐Jacques et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2008

    Over the last decade, there has been increased attention to the role of earlier HIV testing in the United States. Our objective was to determine if this has translated into changes in the proportion of inpatients with advanced disease at the time of initial HIV diagnosis. We identified inpatients discharged with a new diagnosis of HIV infection or AIDS between 1994 and 2004 at two academic medical centers. We examined trends in initial CD4 count …

  • Assessing the Impact of Federal HIV Prevention Spending on HIV Testing and Awareness

    Benjamin P Linas, Hui Zheng et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2006Citada por: 1Referências: 9

    Objectives. The United States allocates more than $900 million annually for the prevention of HIV infection. We assessed the impact of this funding on HIV testing and knowledge. Methods. We linked data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System with tracking of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) HIV prevention funding. We developed and validated regression models of the relation between HIV prevention funding to a responden…

  • The Lifetime Cost of Current Human Immunodeficiency Virus Care in the United States

    Bruce R Schackman, Kelly A Gebo et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2006Referências: 27

    OBJECTIVE: We sought to project the lifetime cost of medical care for human immunodefiency virus (HIV)-infected adults using current antiretroviral therapy (ART) standards. METHODS: Medical visits and hospitalizations for any reason were from the HIV Research Network, a consortium of high-volume HIV primary care sites. HIV treatment drug regimen efficacies were from clinical guidelines and published sources; data on other drugs used were not avai…

  • Effective HIV Case Identification Through Routine HIV Screening at Urgent Care Centers in Massachusetts

    Rochelle P Walensky, Elena Losina et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2005Referências: 1

    Think HIV offered HIV counseling, testing, and referral to patients at 4 Massachusetts urgent care centers from January to September 2002. We compared the positive diagnosis yield of Think HIV with that of state-funded HIV counseling, testing, and referral sites. Think HIV found an HIV prevalence of 2.0% compared with 1.9% identified by self-referral testing. Urgent care center–based routine HIV counseling, testing, and referral programs are feas…
