Association Between Substance Abuse and Mental Illness Symptoms Screener (SAMISS) Scores and HIV Care Continuum Outcomes in People Newly Diagnosed with HIV in the US South
AbstractMental illness (MI) and substance use (SU) are highly prevalent among people with HIV (PWH) and impact care outcomes.

This is a retrospective chart review of individuals newly diagnosed with HIV between 2016 and 2019 in a Southern US, safety-net clinic. Baseline demographics, HIV risk factors, socioeconomic variables, and SAMISS screening scores were collected. Outcomes included retention in care, achieving virologic...

Associations between smoking and pain in early recovery in residential substance use treatment-seekers
A growing literature indicates bidirectional associations between pain and tobacco use. Cigarette smokers are at increased risk for chronic pain, and observational and experimental studies indicate that pain increases motivation to smoke. Tobacco use disorder frequently co-occurs with other substance use disorders, which are also associated with chronic pain vulnerability. Despite evidence that pain significantly predicts smoking and relapse, associations between smoking history/trajectory and changes in pain over the course of treatment have not been characterized.
