Self-reported and Point-of-Care Biomarkers of Substance Use Measures Among Older Adults with HIV from Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Measuring alcohol and other drug (AOD) use remains challenging in HIV care in low- and middle-income countries, where self-report and point-of-care (POC) urine biomarkers capture different time windows. Among 2,059 people with HIV aged 40 years or older across eight IeDEA clinics (2020 to 2022), we examined what self-reported AOD use (AUDIT, ASSIST) and POC urine tests (uEtG for alcohol; 5-panel drug screen) each capture. Self-report identified m…
Thoughts of Death or Self-injury, Non-same-day ART Initiation, and 2-year Incidence of Disengagement from Care Among People Entering HIV Care in Cameroon
Thoughts of death or self-injury and the clinical implications of such thoughts remain largely underassessed among people with HIV (PWH) in Africa. As strong predictors of suicidal ideation and death by suicide, it is paramount to understand these risk indicators, particularly in populations with heightened susceptibility to poor mental health. We aimed to characterize thoughts of death or self-injury (i.e., self-injurious thoughts) and their rel…
Testing a systematically braided alcohol reduction and HIV status neutral intervention among people receiving STI care in Malawi
Background Heavy alcohol use is common in Malawi among people receiving sexually transmitted infections (STI) care and is a critical barrier to the success of HIV prevention and treatment efforts. Methods This protocol presents a pilot hybrid type 1 effectiveness-implementation trial evaluating the short-term effectiveness and implementation of a scalable evidence-based intervention (EBI) to reduce alcohol use and provide HIV prevention and treat…
Mental health-related help-seeking and the role of HIV care providers
Mental health disorders are common among people with HIV (PWH), and the overwhelming majority of PWH with mental health disorders do not receive evidence-based mental health care. One promising strategy to increase access to evidence-based mental health care for PWH is to integrate mental health screening and treatment for common mental disorders and unhealthy drinking into HIV care. However, little is known about how PWH view the role of HIV car…
Sars-CoV-2 testing behavior in symptomatic adults in a U.S. national cohort, 2020–2023
Individuals with the greatest risk of SARS-CoV-2 exposure, susceptibility to COVID-19 complications, and barriers to healthcare access were the least likely to test when ill. Public health initiatives should prioritize improving testing uptake among these populations
Gender, mental health symptoms, loss to clinic, and viral non-suppression 6 months after HIV care initiation among a cohort of people with HIV in Cameroon
Men initiating HIV care with poor mental health may be particularly vulnerable to unstable care engagement and viral non-suppression. Interventions are needed for men specifically to foster improved mental health
Exploring Covid-19 Vaccine Decision Making
Within the USA, the uptake of the updated COVID-19 vaccines is suboptimal despite health authority recommendations. This study used qualitative methods to examine factors influencing COVID-19 vaccine decision making and the effects of anxiety and depression on these decisions within the CHASING COVID Cohort (C3). Between October and December 2023, we conducted 25 interviews with participants from 16 different US states, 14 of whom endorsed recent…
Intersectional HIV- and Depression-Related Stigma Among People with HIV Entering HIV Care in Cameroon
Availability of substance use screening and treatment within HIV clinical sites across seven geographic regions within the IeDEA consortium
Availability of screening and treatment for AUD/SUD in HIV care settings is limited, leaving a substantial gap for integration into ongoing HIV care. A critical understanding is needed of the multilevel implementation factors or feasible implementation strategies for integrating screening and treatment of AUD/SUD into HIV care settings, particularly for resource-constrained regions
Psychosocial Stressors and Maternal Mental Health in the U.S. During the First Wave of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Coping Strategies and Symptoms of Mental Health Disorders Among People with HIV Initiating HIV Care in Cameroon
Little is known about the coping strategies used among people with HIV (PWH), especially in sub-Saharan Africa, and the extent to which adaptive or maladaptive coping strategies are associated with symptoms of mental health disorders. We interviewed 426 PWH initiating HIV care in Cameroon and reported the prevalence of adaptive and maladaptive coping strategies, overall and by presence of symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Log binominal r…
Prevalence and psychosocial factors associated with self-injurious thoughts among people living with HIV presenting for HIV testing in Mozambique
Self-injurious thoughts have been associated with psychiatric morbidity and suicide. Little is known about psychosocial factors associated with self-injurious thoughts among people newly diagnosed with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa. This study examined whether food insufficiency, mental health symptoms, or social support were associated with recent self-injurious thoughts among people newly diagnosed with HIV in Mozambique. The sample included 2001 P…
Age-varying Associations of Depressive Symptoms and Heavy Episodic Drinking Throughout Adulthood Among People with HIV and Receiving care in Cameroon Within a National “treat all” Policy
Tracing-corrected estimates of disengagement from HIV care and mortality among patients enrolling in HIV care without overt immunosuppression in Tanzania
In the era of "test and treat", it is important to understand HIV care outcomes and their determinants in patients presenting to care with early-stage disease. We surveyed 924 adults newly enrolling in HIV care at four clinics in Tanzania before the adoption of universal treatment eligibility, and collected longitudinal clinical data. Participants who defaulted from care were tracked in the community. Cumulative incidence of disengagement from ca…
Underestimation of potentially traumatic events resulting from underreporting of physical and sexual violence among people entering care for HIV in Cameroon

Heavy episodic drinking and HIV disclosure by HIV treatment status among People with HIV in IeDEA Cameroon
The prevalence of recent HED was high among PWH in care. HED prevalence was highest among men and recent ART initiators. Longitudinal analyses should explore how HIV disclosure may support PWH in reducing or abstaining from HED through social support. Systematic HED screening and referral to care should be included in routine HIV clinical care, particularly for men, to improve engagement in the HIV care continuum in Cameroon

Psychosocial Factors Associated with Food Insufficiency Among People Living with HIV/Aids (PLWH) Initiating ART in Ethiopia
Household decision-making power and the mental health and well-being of women initiating antiretroviral treatment in Oromia, Ethiopia
Low decision-making power (DMP) has been associated with HIV seropositivity among women in sub-Saharan Africa. As treatment accessibility and life expectancy for HIV-positive individuals increase, greater attention to the mental health and well-being of HIV-positive women is needed. This study examined whether low DMP was associated with psychological distress, social support or health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among women initiating ART. T…
Psychological distress, health and treatment-related factors among individuals initiating ART in Oromia, Ethiopia
HIV diagnosis may be a source of psychological distress. Late initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and treatment-related beliefs may intensify psychological distress among those recently diagnosed. This analysis describes the prevalence of psychological distress among people living with HIV (PLWH) and examines the association of recent HIV diagnosis, late ART initiation and treatment-related beliefs with psychological distress. The sample i…

Physical and sexual violence, childhood sexual abuse and HIV/STI risk behaviour among alcohol-using women engaged in sex work in Mongolia
Although the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in Mongolia is low, it could increase without strategic prevention strategies. Female sex workers (FSWs) often experience barriers to prevention, including interpersonal violence. This study investigated if childhood sexual abuse (CSA) or recent physical or sexual violence was associated with HIV sexual risk behaviours and if CSA modified associations between recent violence and HIV se…
Measuring Physical Violence and Rape Against Somali Women Using the Neighborhood Method
This study was conducted to estimate prevalence of gender-based violence (GBV) among female Somalis in Ethiopian refugee camps and host communities, compare prevalence in camps and communities, and compare prevalence in flight and in camp. Systematic random sampling was used to select households in Awbare camp (n = 85), Awbare town (n = 76), and Kebribeyah camp (n = 83). GBV was common and overwhelmingly domestic. Prevalence was higher in Awbare …
