Nurse-Led HIV PEP Program Used by Men at High Risk for HIV Seroconversion
We trialed a nurse-led HIV postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) program in two sexually transmitted infection clinics in Ottawa, Canada. From September 5, 2013 to September 4, 2015, 112 persons sought PEP: 103 were male, of whom 84 were men who have sex with men (MSM). Seventy-two patients (59 MSM) initiated PEP; 11 were diagnosed with HIV: 6 diagnoses occurred during initial assessment (all MSM; 1 also shared injection equipment); 5 MSM were diagnosed with HIV within 1  year of seeking PEP. This level of positivity indicated that, when access is facilitated, individuals at high risk of HIV seek PEP. (Source: Journal of the Ass...

Correlates of HIV testing among young adults in Iran: Findings from a nationwide population-based survey in 2013
We examined the prevalence and correlates of HIV testing among Iranian young adults. Demographic and behavioral data were collected cross-sectionally. A convenience sample of 19- to 29-year-old young adults (N = 3,246) were recruited from 13 major provinces. Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) models were constructed to identify the correlates of HIV testing. Only 13.6% (n = 443) of the participants had ever tested for HIV. In the multivariable analysis, male sex, married marital status, having extramarital sex, knowing a person living with HIV or who had died of HIV-related diseases, older age, higher education, and hi...

Association between psychiatric disorders, substance use, and sexual risk behaviors in perinatally HIV-exposed youth
We examined the association between psychiatric disorders and substance use disorders (SUD) with sexual risk behaviors in youth with perinatally-acquired HIV infection and perinatally HIV exposed but uninfected youth. Participants were recruited from 4 medical centers in New York City. The Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children and the Adolescent Sexual Behavior Assessment were administered to assess psychiatric disorders and sexual behaviors, respectively.

President's Message
In November 2017, I had the honor and privilege to assume the role of President of the Association of Nurses in AIDS Care. As a member of ANAC for more than 20  years, I am excited to give back to an organization that has provided me with so much. At the 2017 annual conference, attendees had the opportunity to recognize and reflect on our organization's history. It is remarkable to think that an organization that had its beginnings with an informal gather ing of nurses has grown to be the largest professional organization of nurses and other health care providers dedicated to improving the lives of people living with HIV ...

“I Am a Good Example”: Suggestions From HIV-Infected Cambodians for Preventing HIV Infection in Marital Relationships
Developing effective and influential messages for HIV prevention in marriage has been difficult. We explored couple-based HIV prevention measures that would be socially and culturally suitable for Cambodia. Thirty in-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with people living with HIV in the local Khmer language. Using thematic analysis, codes and themes were generated to get to the meanings of participant data. Male and female suggestions were analyzed together, and four themes emerged: (a) Safer practices, (b) Trustworthy relationships, (c) Sexual variety, and (d) Exemplar.

HIV-Related Stigma, Quality of Care, and Coping Skills: Exploring Factors Affecting Treatment Adherence Among PLWH in Haiti
Stigma is a primary barrier to care and support for people living with HIV (PLWH). We explored relationships between HIV-related stigma and treatment adherence and the effects of psychological and structural factors on these relationships. HIV treatment adherence, stigma, and coping strategies were measured with questionnaires. Participants included 285 PLWH in Haiti. Multivariable linear regression was used to estimate predictors of treatment adherence. Structural equation modeling was used to determine whether relationships between stigma and treatment adherence variables were mediated by coping variables. (Source: Journ...
