There was no evidence of community-wide gains in HIV testing via a theory-based intervention. However, community mobilization was associated with higher HIV testing in intervention communities compared to the control group. (S. Lippman, T. Neilands, CAPS)
Depression partially accounted for the association between HIV-related shame and emotional/physical well-being among older adults w/ HIV. Loneliness accounted for the association between HIV-related shame and social well-being. (Wilson Vincent, CAPS faculty)
Health facilities in Mozambique have implemented paper and electronic patient-monitoring systems with varying success. This assessment supports the strengthening of their HIV-related health information systems. (S. Zamudio-Haas, L. Moran, S. Shade, CAPS)
With an estimated HIV prevalence of 25.6%, female market traders in Kenya were highly mobile and reported higher HIV-risk behaviors than women in the general population. (Carol Camlin, Willi Mcfarland, Mallory Johnson, Torsten Neilands, CAPS researchers)
Patients diagnosed with HIV should start ART as soon as possible after diagnosis. This recommendation will likely need to wait until national treatment guidelines are modified to be consistent with WHO guidelines. (George Rutherford, CAPS researcher)
Path analysis determined that antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence was positively linked to health care provider relationship and negatively linked to depressive symptoms and lifetime trauma (Torsten Neilands, Mallory Johnson, & Parya Saberi, CAPS)
