Filter by:Oral PrEP regimens (FTC/TDF have been the mainstay of HIV prevention however patients now have more options for HIV prevention. In addition to oral PrEP regimens, the FDA approved the use of long acting Cabotegravir (CAB-LA) as the first long-acting medication for HIV prevention. This study will evaluate real world clinical outcomes of cisgender female patients who start CAB-LA for PrEP.
The goal of the proposed research is to design a peer-based community intervention focused on addressing internalized homophobia, internalized racism, HIV stigma, and peer BSMM support to increase PrEP initiation among BSMM in Prince George's County, MD. Participants will attend intervention events focused on stigma reduction and building community among Black queer men. Researchers will compare intervention and control group participants to see if there in a difference in PrEP initiation and adherence.
The primary objective of this proposal is to test the efficacy of Connecting Latinxs en Pareja (CLP). CLP is a four-session intervention grounded in social cognitive theory and a relationship oriented ecological framework. The investigators will examine whether participants assigned to CLP report an increase in the proportion of HIV protected anal sex acts to those assigned to a Wellness Promotion (WP) time and attention matched control condition. The primary outcome, relates to use of HIV protection.
While there has been a significant increase in the uptake of antiretroviral therapy among women living with HIV (WLHIV) in many low- and-middle income countries (LMICs), the coverage of cervical cancer screening and treatment (CCST) among WLHIV remains low. This study aims to leverage the available infrastructure for HIV care and treatment programs in Nigeria to integrate cervical cancer screening and treatment and conduct a cluster randomized, hybrid type III trial design to assess the comparative effectiveness of a Core set of implementation strategies versus a Core+ (enhanced) set of implementation strategies to implement cervical cancer screening, onsite treatment, referral and referral completion, treatment, and retention in care among WLHIV. The overarching goal is to improve the health and life expectancy of WLHIV with co-occurring cervical cancer.
The overall goal of the current study is to define modifiable intervention targets that are developmentally- and culturally-relevant in pathways between cumulative stress and self-management outcomes - alcohol use and HIV - among Young People Living with HIV (YPLWH). This is a correlational, longitudinal cohort study that will seek to evaluate the association of cumulative stress with self-management of alcohol (i.e. hazardous drinking) and HIV (viral suppression) among YPLWH. The study will enroll up to 175 participants between the ages of 18-29 who currently reside in Florida and are living with HIV. In the Model phase, individuals will participate in two assessment timepoints, including baseline assessment with a two-week sleep diary completion and 9-month follow-up assessment with another two-week sleep diary completion. The aim of the model phase is to define key modifiable intervention targets by longitudinally evaluating multiple components of sleep health, and emotion and behavioral regulation among YPLWH to determine potential pathways between cumulative stress and alcohol and HIV outcomes, in the context of individual factors relevant to YPLWH (e.g., age, race/ethnicity, cannabis and other substance use, cognitive functioning, education), with an additional cross-project moderator aim to explore age, biological sex and gender, race/ethnicity, other substance use, and mental health as moderators. In the Adapt phase, 42 of N=175 will participate in 60-90 minute focus groups, that will focus on adapting developmentally and culturally scalable measures of cumulative stress, sleep health, and emotion/behavior regulation for screening and intervention targeting, and creation of a community-informed toolkit of the adapted measures.
Psychological distress (anxiety and depression) is common in and experienced differently by people living with long-term health conditions (LTCs). Being able to measure whether psychological distress is related to living with a LTC would allow researchers and clinicians to provide interventions specifically tailored to the challenges of living with a LTC and therefore provide the most appropriate support for these patients. Such a measure would also be useful in research to identify the presence of illness-related distress in different patient groups. This project will therefore create a new measure of illness-related distress that has applications for both research and clinical practice. This will involve the psychometric validation of the new illness-related distress measure to test how valid and reliable the measure is. The aim of the project is to provide initial validation of the Illness Related Distress Scale in a community sample, recruited through online platforms. The objective of the study is to gather initial validity and reliability data for the scale.
This study will be used to develop a program to help Latino men who have sex with men obtain pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), HIV testing, and behavioral health services. The project will then involve a pilot test of this program with a community partner.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the FPI bundled implementation strategy in increasing HIV testing, Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) linkage (e.g., prescription) and knowledge, and condom use/access.
A randomized, controlled, open-label, dose-exploration study to assess the effectiveness and safety of Lipovirtide combined with nucleoside drugs in HIV-infected patients who have not received antiviral treatment before.
The purpose of this study is to adapt a relationship education program. The research team is adapting so that it is helpful for Latino sexual minority men.
