The Combined Roles of Nonsomatic Depressive Symptomatology, Neurocognitive Function, and Current Substance Use in Medication Adherence in Adults Living With HIV Infection
Depression, global neurocognitive (GNC) function, and substance use disorders (SUDs) are each associated with medication adherence in persons living with HIV (PLWH). Because somatic symptoms can inflate depression scores in PLWH, the role of nonsomatic depressive symptomatology (NSDS) should be considered in adherence. However, the combined roles of NSDS, GNC function, and current SUDs in predicting combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) adherence remain poorly understood. Forty PLWH (70% Latina/o; 30% non-Hispanic White) completed psychiatric/SUD, neurocognitive, and self-report cART adherence evaluations. (Source: Journa...

Caffeine and Insomnia in People Living With HIV From the Miami Adult Studies on HIV (MASH) Cohort
We explored the relationship between caffeine consumption, insomnia, and HIV disease progression (CD4+ T cell counts and HIV viral loads). Caffeine intake and insomnia levels were measured using the Modified Caffeine Consumption Questionnaire and the Pittsburgh Insomnia Rating Scale (PIRS) in 130 clinically stable participants who were living with HIV, taking antiretroviral therapy, and recruited from the Miami Adult Studies on HIV cohort. Linear regressions showed that caffeine consumption was significantly and adversely associated with distress score, quality-of-life score, and global PIRS score. (Source: Journal of the ...

A grounded theory study of HIV-related stigma in U.S.-based health care settings
Despite progress made in the treatment and care of people living with HIV (PLWH), HIV-related stigma has remained persistent. Health care settings and workers have been identified as important sources of stigma. Studies have addressed the construct of stigma in U.S. health care settings, but mainly from the perspectives of PLWH. We used Grounded Theory to understand how health care workers conceptualized HIV-related stigma and to develop a model to project a purposive view of stigma in health care settings.

Multipurpose Prevention Technologies: A Global Sexual and Reproductive Health Priority
Despite the complementarity of sexual and reproductive health services (SRH), providers tend to offer them separately, rather than integrating them into a comprehensive plan of care (Boonstra, Barot,& Lusti-Narasimhan, 2014; Brady& Manning, 2013; Lusti-Narasimhan, Collins,& Hopkins, 2014). Integration of sexual and reproductive health is defined as offering patients comprehensive health services that include, but are not limited to HIV, sexually transmitted infections (STI), and family planning (Maharaj& Cleland, 2005).

Perceptions of Brain Health and Cognition in Older African Americans and Caucasians with HIV: A Focus Group Study
We examined the perceptions that older adults living with HIV have about protecting and improving brain health and cognition through lifestyle behaviors. Qualitative data were analyzed from 4 focus groups (N = 30) of African Americans and Caucasians living with HIV and at least 50 years of age. An open-coding scheme using conventional content analysis was employed. (Source: Journal of the Association of Nurses in AIDS Care)

Characterizing the Structure and Functions of Social Networks of Men Who Have Sex with Men in Ghana, West Africa: Implications for Peer-Based HIV Prevention
This article explores the structure and function of the social networks of MSM from 22 focus groups drawn from two urban and one rural setting in Ghana. Gaining insights into the characteristics of these networks will allow healthcare providers to design HIV prevention efforts and increase access to these programs.
