Diagnosis of Learning Disabilities but not Academic Difficulties Alone is Associated with Neurocognitive Impairment in People Living with HIV
Diagnosing HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND) is a complex process aimed at determining the role of HIV versus other causes of neurocognitive impairment. In treated people with living long-term HIV infection, this process is further complicated by the presence of multiple medical and psychiatric comorbidities and varied educational history. Evidence-based research is therefore needed to refine the 2007 HAND diagnostic criteria on how t…
Longitudinal Trends in Physical Activity Among Older Adults With and Without HIV in Uganda
Introduction Physical Activity (PA) and its links to frailty, quality of life (QoL), and other comorbidities in older Ugandans living with HIV remain under-explored. Methods We analyzed data from three annual assessments of older people living with HIV (PLWH) and age- and sex-similar people not living with HIV (PnLWH). We fitted linear generalized estimating equations (GEE) regression models to estimate the correlates of PA, including demographic…
HIV Screening Among Young Black Men Who Have Sex with Women in New Orleans, LA
There are significant disparities in HIV acquisition, with Black individuals facing disproportionately more new diagnoses. Per Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), all people aged 13-64 should be tested at least once in their lifetime, and men at increased risk (e.g., those who have male sexual contact, multiple partners, have partners with multiple partners, or share drug injection equipment) should be tested annually. The study inc…
Correlates of Sleep Health among Older-Age People with and without HIV in Uganda
There is a growing population of older people with HIV (PWH) in Uganda. Sleep problems disproportionately affect older people and PWH. This study aimed to estimate correlates of sleep health among older Ugandans (aged ≥ 50 years) with and without HIV, using data from the Quality of Life and Aging with HIV in Rural Uganda Study. We used the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index to assess sleep quality, duration, and efficiency. We fitted multivariable li…
Vaccine Hesitancy at Nine Community Sites Across the United States, Early in Covid-19 Vaccine Rollout
Background Vaccine hesitancy has been a significant concern throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Vaccine hesitancy can be attributed to lack of confidence in vaccines, complacency about the health threat, or lack of convenience of vaccination. To date, few studies have used methods designed to include populations underrepresented in research when identifying factors associated with vaccine hesitancy. Methods Between January and July 2021, potential …
Effectiveness of Incentivized Peer Referral to Increase Enrollment in a Community-Based Chlamydia Screening and Treatment Study Among Young Black Men
Past incarceration and chlamydia infection among young Black men in New Orleans
Background Young Black men are disproportionately and adversely affected by incarceration and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), both of which share common social and structural determinants. It is well documented that incarcerated individuals, including youth, are more likely to acquire STIs in the carceral setting compared to the general population. However, the effects of imprisonment on sexual health outcomes after imprisonment are not w…
