Safe and effective long-acting injectable agents for preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are needed to increase the options preventing HIV infection.
BackgroundInjectable cabotegravir was superior to daily oral tenofovir disoproxil fumarate plus emtricitabine for HIV prevention in two clinical trials. Both trials had the primary aim of establishing efficacy long-acting injectable pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) compared with PrEP. Long-acting PrEP associated diagnostic delays and integrase strand-transfer inhibitor (INSTI) resistance. This report presents findings from first unblinded year Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) 083...
The full impact of secondary stigma (stigma directed at family) on an HIV-positive individual is unknown. This qualitative research explores perceptions in the Vietnamese context and its influence ways which injection drug user (IDU) copes with HIV infection. Data experiences learning one's status, disclosure decisions, family reactions, from community were collected through in-depth interviews 25 IDUs recruited a health center Thai Nguyen, Vietnam. Participants felt despair when they...
This paper explores how perceived stigma and layered related to injection drug use being HIV-positive influence the decision disclose one's HIV status family community experiences with following disclosure among a population of male users (IDUs) in Thai Nguyen, Vietnam. In qualitative interviews conducted between 2007 2008, 25 IDUs described their but an absence within families. These findings suggest importance community-level prevention interventions that counter support families caring...
The accuracy of self-report data may be marred by a range cognitive and motivational biases, including social desirability response bias. current study used qualitative interviews to examine biases among participants in large randomized clinical trial Vietnam.

However, some stated that lead under reporting risk behaviors order not disappoint staff....
Introduction HIV infection may be affected by multiple complex socioeconomic status (SES) factors, especially individual disadvantage and community‐level inequality. At the same time, stigma towards marginalized groups has exacerbated persistent concentrated epidemics among key populations, such as persons who inject drugs (PWID) in Vietnam. Stigma researchers argue that fundamentally depends on existence of economic power differences a community. In rapidly growing economies like Vietnam,...
Introduction Injecting drug use is a primary driver of HIV epidemics in many countries. People who inject drugs (PWID) and are infected often doubly stigmatized encounter difficulties reducing risk behaviors. Prevention interventions for HIV-infected PWID that provide enhanced support at the individual, family, community level to facilitate risk-reduction needed. Methods 455 355 their negative injecting network members living 32 sub-districts Thai Nguyen Province were enrolled. We conducted...

Few evidence-based interventions have been successfully scaled up and sustained long-term. Within an implementation trial testing strategies for scale-up of the Systems Navigation Psychosocial Counseling (SNaP) intervention people who inject drugs (PWID) with HIV across clinics in Vietnam, we sought to assess if SNaP was after study support ended identify factors, including adaptations, that affected sustainment.
