Leaving the emergency department before treatment completion among people with and without HIV with a suspected overdose in British Columbia, Canada
Leaving the emergency department (ED) before treatment completion (LBTC) - either without being seen by a physician or against medical advice - is common in substance use-related presentations and associated with adverse outcomes. We assessed determinants and outcomes of LBTC among people with and without HIV (PWH, PWoH) attending an ED with a suspected overdose between 2012-2020 in British Columbia, Canada, using linked administrative data. We i…
Enhancing identification of suspected unregulated drug toxicity deaths in administrative health records
Accurate and timely cause of death information is important for public health monitoring. In recent years, deaths with an unknown/ill-defined underlying cause have increased markedly in Canada, particularly in British Columbia (BC), among people living with HIV (PWH) in concert with the 2016 unregulated drug toxicity crisis. Using a case study of PWH in BC, who are disproportionately affected, we examined all deaths occurring between 2015 – 2020 …
Supportive housing building policies and resident psychological needs
Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) increases housing stability and improves health outcomes among people living with HIV (PLHIV) at risk of homelessness. We conducted 24 semi-structured qualitative interviews with PLHIV at risk of homelessness living in a PSH building in Vancouver, Canada, with the aim of understanding how PSH building policies impact residents’ health. Interviews were analyzed using self-determination theory and Housing First pr…
Characteristics of older adults living with HIV accessing home and community care services in British Columbia, Canada
Over half of people living with HIV (PLHIV) engaged in care in British Columbia (BC) are age ≥50. The public home and community care (HCC) system offers formal support that PLHIV may turn to as they age, but little is known about access specific to PLHIV. Using data from the STOP HIV/AIDS cohort, which includes linked treatment and demographic records for PLHIV accessing care in BC, we compared older PLHIV (defined as those age ≥50) who did and d…
The opioid crisis is driving mortality among under-served people living with HIV in British Columbia, Canada
Overdose is - the leading cause of mortality among a cohort of under-served PLWH in BC, Canada. Public health efforts to end the HIV epidemic and support the health and well-being of PLWH are being thwarted by persistent health inequities and the enormous and persistent risks facing people who use drugs. Integrated low-barrier primary care is essential for supporting under-served PLWH, and safe drug supply is needed to support PLWH who use drugs
Assessing the impact of food insecurity on HIV medication adherence in the context of an integrated care programme for people living with HIV in Vancouver, Canada
Objective: Food insecurity, or self-reports of inadequate food access due to limited financial resources, remains prevalent among people living with HIV (PLHIV). We examined the impact of food insecurity on combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) adherence within an integrated care programme that provides services to PLHIV, including two meals per day. Design: Adjusted OR (aOR) were estimated by generalized estimating equations, quantifying the…
Understanding the pervasiveness of trauma within a housing facility for people living with HIV
Trauma exposure is highly prevalent among marginalized people living with HIV (PLHIV). Trauma influences experiences in environments where PLHIV reside and access support services, in addition to impacting mental and physical health. This qualitative study of 24 PLHIV examined how trauma and socio-structural inequities shaped participants’ experiences living in a supportive housing facility for PLHIV, impacted health-related outcomes, and affecte…
Mortality among people living with HIV/Aids with non-small-cell lung cancer in the modern Haart Era
People living with HIV (PLWHA) with adequate access to modern combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) are living longer and experiencing reduced AIDS-related morbidity and mortality. However, increases in non-AIDS related conditions, such as certain cancers, have accompanied these therapeutic advances over time. As such, our study objective was to determine the impact of HIV on all-cause and lung cancer-specific mortality amongst PLWHA with dia…
Harder-to-reach people living with HIV experiencing high prevalence of all-type mental health disorder diagnosis
People living with HIV/AIDS (PHA) often concurrently cope with mental health disorders that may greatly influence HIV and other health-related outcomes. The objective of this study was to examine the prevalence and correlates of self-reported mental health disorder diagnosis among a cohort of harder-to-reach HIV-positive individuals in British Columbia, Canada. Between 2007 and 2010, 1000 PHA who had initiated ART were enrolled in the Longitudina…
The effect of history of injection drug use and alcoholism on HIV disease progression
The effectiveness of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in preventing disease progression can be negatively influenced by the high prevalence of substance use among patients. Here, we quantify the effect of history of injection drug use and alcoholism on virologic and immunologic response to HAART. Clinical and survey data, collected at the start of HAART and at the interview date, were based on the study Longitudinal Investigations int…
High rates of lifetime and recent violence observed among harder-to-reach women living with HIV
This study examined the prevalence and correlates associated with lifetime and recent violence among a sample of harder-to-reach human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive women living in British Columbia (BC), Canada. Interviewer-led surveys with 1000 participants gathered quantitative data on social, economic, and structural characteristics such as housing status, relationship status, family structure, history of drug use, and sexual behavior.…
Social–structural factors associated with supportive service use among a cohort of HIV-positive individuals on antiretroviral therapy
As mortality rates decrease in British Columbia, Canada, supportive services (e.g. housing, food, counseling, addiction treatment) are increasingly conceptualized as critical components of care for people living with HIV/AIDS. Our study investigates social and clinical correlates of supportive service use across differing levels of engagement. Among 915 participants from the Longitudinal Investigations into Supportive and Ancillary health service…
Factors Associated with Disclosure of HIV Status Among a Cohort of Individuals on Antiretroviral Therapy in British Columbia, Canada
Validating a Shortened Depression Scale (10 Item CES-D) among HIV-Positive People in British Columbia, Canada
OBJECTIVE: To establish the reliability and validity of a shortened (10-item) depression scale used among HIV-positive patients enrolled in the Drug Treatment Program in British Columbia, Canada. METHODS: The 10-item CES-D (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale) was examined among 563 participants who initiated antiretroviral therapy (ART) between August 1, 1996 and June 30, 2002. Internal consistency of the scale was measured by Cron…
