“You are always hiding. It's the worst way to live.” Exploring Stigma in African Immigrants Living With HIV in a Large Northwest U.S. Metropolitan Area
African immigrants living in the United States are disproportionately and uniquely affected by HIV. Evidence shows that stigma may contribute to this inequity. Applying a biopsychosocial model of health, our qualitative study explored HIV-related stigma and its impact on African immigrants living with HIV in a large northwestern U.S. metropolitan area. We conducted in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 20 African immigrants living with HIV. In the biological health realm, HIV-related stigma contributed to adverse health care environments, disruptions in care, and poor physical health. (Source: Journal of the Associatio...

African American Church Engagement in the HIV Care Continuum
Providing comprehensive services across the HIV care continuum through African American churches may improve HIV treatment outcomes for African Americans. We explored the feasibility of a church-led HIV care program in six churches in Baltimore, Maryland. Church leaders (n  = 57) participated in focus groups and eight pastors participated in interviews. Data were analyzed by qualitative hybrid thematic analysis. Findings revealed eight themes: four themes were related to linkage to care: being unaware of community resources, concerns about HIV-associated regulations , ongoing personalized contact with HIV-infected person...

Do you PrEP? A Review of Primary Care Provider Knowledge of PrEP and Attitudes on Prescribing PrEP
Oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has been proven to be a safe and effective means of preventing HIV. The purpose of our literature review was to examine primary care provider knowledge and attitudes about prescribing PrEP. PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched and additional articles were identified through other sources, yielding 11 articles that met inclusion criteria. Overall, there was high variability among providers regarding attitudes, knowledge, and prescriptive practices related to PrEP. (Source: Journal of the Association of Nurses in AIDS Care)

Using the Social-Ecological Model of HIV prevention to explore HIV testing behaviors of young Black college women
The purpose of our study was to explore HIV testing behaviors and attitudes among young Black women ages 18-24 years in southern North Carolina (N =17) using a semi-structured interview based on the Socio-Ecological Model. The findings showed that individual, interpersonal, social, and organizational factors contributed to participants ’ testing behaviors and attitudes. Understanding the factors that influence attitudes and intention for HIV testing among young Black women will inform the development of culturally-congruent prevention interventions and programs.

Understanding health literacy for People Living with HIV: Locations of learning
Health literacy, including people's abilities to access, process, and comprehend health-related information, has become an important component in the management of complex and chronic diseases such as HIV infection. Clinical measures of health literacy that focus on patients' abilities to follow plans of care ignore the multi-dimensionality of health literacy. Our thematic analysis of 28 focus groups from a qualitative, multi-site, multi-national study exploring information practices of PLWH demonstrated the importance of location as a dimension of health literacy.

Addressing prevention among HIV-uninfected women in PMTCT programs in South India
With nearly one million HIV-infected women in India, prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) programs serve an important role. While PMTCT programs focus on mothers living with HIV infection, offering them to uninfected pregnant women may prevent maternal HIV infections. To inform future efforts to offer PMTCT programs to uninfected women, we conducted focus groups with 24 uninfected women in the South Indian state of Karnataka who had given birth within the previous 2 years to explore their perceptions and experiences about HIV education and screening during pregnancy.

A Meta-Analysis of HIV Postexposure Prophylaxis Among Sexually Assaulted Patients in the United States
Sexual assault (SA) is a major public health problem that leaves patients at risk for HIV. The gold standard of medical treatment for SA patients includes prophylactic treatment to prevent HIV. A meta-analysis was conducted and examined the rates of nonoccupational postexposure prophylaxis (n-PEP) offered to, accepted, and completed by SA patients who presented to emergency departments in the United States. Four points of data were analyzed: (a) SA patients who met the criteria and were offered n-PEP, (b) SA patients who were offered n-PEP and accepted the medication, (c) SA patients who accepted n-PEP treatment and comple...
