Adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is essential in determining successful treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The adoption of digital health is suggested to improve ART adherence among people living with HIV (PLHIV). This study aimed to systematically determine the effect of digital health in enhancing ART adherence among PLHIV from published studies. The systematic search was conducted on Scopus, Web of Science (WoS), PubMed, Ovid, EBSCOHost, and Google Scholar databases up to June 2022...

HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) remains underutilized among cis and trans women. The PrEP Initiative Program (PIP) is a novel public-private partnership implemented at 12 local clinics in North Carolina. PIP provides HIV/sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing and clinical and laboratory monitoring for PrEP to uninsured/underinsured clients. We sought to understand service-related differences among both cis and trans women enrolled in PIP, including STIs diagnoses, clinic type, sources of referral, services needed, and reasons for PrEP discontinuation...

Despite widespread availability of life-saving antiretroviral therapy (ART) in sub-Saharan Africa, AIDS remains one of the leading causes of death among adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) in sub-Saharan Africa. The purpose of this article was to review the state of the science regarding interventions to improve ART adherence and/or HIV care retention among ALHIV throughout sub-Saharan Africa. The primary aim of this review was to describe the impact of peer support interventions in improving treatment outcomes (i...

Latinx sexual minority men (LSMM) face multilevel barriers to accessing HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). To address these barriers, we designed and implemented community-based organization (CBO)-PrEP, a collaborative community-based telehealth PrEP program for LSMM. We designed this PrEP delivery program through a collaborative process involving staff from local CBOs and a primary care-based HIV prevention program. Staff met weekly over a 3-month period to establish protocols for referrals, obtaining insurance coverage, and navigation to appointments and laboratory testing...

Cabotegravir long-acting injectable HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (LA PrEP) is efficacious, with a good safety profile, and was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in December 2021. Understanding variations in potential user preferences for LA PrEP may inform implementation and subsequently improve uptake and community-level effectiveness. HIV-negative, sexually active men who have sex with men (MSM) aged ≥15 years were recruited online for the 2019 American Men's Internet Survey, before LA PrEP approval...

This nationwide registry-based cohort study aimed to compare the risk of psychiatric diagnoses among HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU) children with a matched comparison group of HIV-unexposed uninfected (HUU) children, born in Denmark. We hypothesized that HEU children had an increased risk of psychiatric diagnoses and that this increased risk may differ by sex and age. All HEU children born in Denmark between year 2000 and 2020 were included. Each HEU child was matched by year of birth, maternal age at birth, and maternal immigration status to 10 HUU children...

To ensure care continuity during the COVID-19 pandemic, telehealth has been widely implemented in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) care. However, participation in and benefits from telehealth were unequal. This study aims to assess the willingness of people living with HIV (PWH) and HIV care providers to use telehealth and perceptions of the future role of telehealth. In-depth interviews with 18 PWH and 10 HIV care providers from South Carolina assessed their willingness to use telehealth, their perspectives on the future of telehealth in HIV care, and recommendations to improve telehealth...

Many adolescents and young adults with HIV (AYWH) struggle with antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence and experience poorer outcomes than adults. Relevant factors include forgetfulness and poor self-efficacy related to their evolving neurobiology. We qualitatively explored experiences of AYWH-caregivers dyads using real-time ART adherence monitors and associated reminder functions in the home setting. As part of an implementation science-oriented study, AYWH used the Wisepill adherence monitor for 3 months...

Bimonthly long-acting injectable pre-exposure prophylaxis (LAI-PrEP) can become an important additional tool for HIV prevention among West African men who have sex with men (MSM). The objective was to explore the perceived added value of LAI-PrEP as an HIV prevention tool among MSM in Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, and Togo. We conducted eight focus group discussions among 62 HIV-negative MSM between April and May 2021. Participants were recruited via local community-based clinics. Data collection and analysis were guided by grounded theory and community-based participatory approaches...

To test the hypothesis that implementation of a multicomponent, educational HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) intervention to promote universal PrEP services for cisgender women (subsequently "women") in sexual and reproductive health centers would improve the proportion of women screened, offered, and prescribed PrEP, we implemented a multicomponent, educational intervention in a Washington D.C. Department of Health-sponsored sexual health clinic. The clinic serves a patient population with high-potential exposure to HIV...

People living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are at high risk for anal cancer. Anal cancer screenings are recommended annually for US veterans with HIV. Screenings can identify treatable precursor lesions and prevent cancer development. In a previous study, we found screening rate to be only 15%. Semistructured interviews were conducted with Veterans Affairs (VA) providers who treat veterans living with HIV. Participants described their experiences with anal cancer screenings. Researchers developed a codebook based on Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and coded data using thematic analysis to identify barriers to anal cancer screenings...

Primary care providers (PCPs) are critical in prescribing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to adolescents at risk of HIV. More research is needed to identify facilitators and barriers PCPs encounter in prescribing PrEP to eligible adolescents post-Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. This online cross-sectional survey examined the PrEP implementation facilitators and barriers among a national sample of PCPs in the United States. PCPs ( n  = 502) specializing in family medicine or pediatrics were recruited from a Qualtrics panel from July 15 to August 9, 2022...

The epidemiology of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has shifted such that Black individuals disproportionately represent incident HIV diagnoses. While risk of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) among people with HIV (PWH) has declined with effective antiretroviral therapies, a substantial racial disparity in ESKD burden exists with the greatest prevalence among Black PWH. Disparities in waitlisting for kidney transplantation, the optimal treatment for ESKD, exist for both PWH and Black individuals without HIV, but it is unknown whether these characteristics together exacerbate such disparities...

This cross-sectional study examined the relationships between sexual history screening (SHS) and referrals to a pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) navigator (non-clinical staff member who assists patients in overcoming structural barriers to PrEP) on the proportion of days covered by PrEP for adult patients at a federally qualified health center. Patients' sociodemographics, PrEP prescriptions, referral to a PrEP navigator, and SHS data were extracted from the electronic health record (EHR). The analytic sample was 214 adult patients who were human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) negative and taking PrEP to prevent infection from January 2016 to December 2019...

Retention in HIV care and viral suppression rates remain suboptimal, especially among people with HIV (PWH) facing complex barriers to care such as mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and housing insecurity. The Center for Adherence, Retention, and Engagement Support (CARES) program utilizes an interdisciplinary team that delivers integrated services in a drop-in setting to provide individualized care to PWH with complex psychosocial needs. We describe the CARES program and evaluate its effectiveness in retaining patients in care to achieve virological suppression...
