Internalization of HIV-related stigma may inhibit a person's ability to manage HIV disease through adherence treatment regimens. Studies, mainly with white men, have suggested an association between internalized and suboptimal antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, there is scarcity research women different racial/ethnic backgrounds on mediating mechanisms in the ART adherence.The Women's Interagency Study (WIHS) multicenter cohort study. Women living complete interviewer-administered...
To study the relationship between body weight and blood pressure, we have developed an animal model of obesity-induced hypertension. Nine adult mongrel dogs were chronically instrumented with aortic vena caval catheters. After a 2-week control period, all made to gain by adding 2 lb/day beef fat their diet for 5 weeks. Blood heart rate, measured daily before addition dietary fat, during weeks high diet, 6 after supplement was stopped. Plasma volume cardiac output prior diet. During 5-week...
Background and Aims Few longitudinal studies have examined the relationship between food insecurity substance use. We aimed to investigate this using data among women with or at risk for HIV in United States. Design Women's Interagency Study (WIHS), a prospective cohort study. Setting Nine sites across Participants A total of 2553 HIV. Measurements Semi‐annual structured interviews were conducted during April 2013–March 2016. Food security (FS) was primary predictor, measured Household...
Background Food insecurity and violence are two major public health issues facing U.S. women. The link between food has received little attention, particularly regarding the temporal ordering of events. present study used data from Women's Interagency Human Immunodeficiency Virus Study to investigate longitudinal association in a cohort women at risk for or living with HIV. Methods participants completed six assessments 2013–16 on (operationalized as marginal, low, very low security) (sexual...
Chronic inflammation is associated with AIDS-defining and non-AIDS-defining conditions. Limited research has considered how food insecurity influences chronic among people living human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We examined whether was higher levels of women HIV (WWH) in the United States.We analyzed cross-sectional data collected 2015 from 421 participants on antiretroviral therapy Women's Interagency Study. The exposure any insecurity. outcome inflammation, measured by proinflammatory...
Food insecurity (FI) contributes to HIV-related morbidity and mortality, but the mechanisms whereby FI negatively impacts HIV health are untested. We tested hypothesis that leads poor clinical outcomes through nutritional, mental health, behavioral paths. analyzed data from Women's Interagency Study (WIHS) among 1803 women living with (WLWH) (8225 person-visits) collected 2013 2015 biannually nine sites across United States participating in WIHS. was measured US Household Security Survey...
Food insecurity is a well-established determinant of suboptimal, self-reported antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence, but few studies have investigated this association using objective adherence measures. We examined the food with levels ART concentrations in hair among women living human immunodeficiency virus (WLHIV) United States.
Persistent symptoms after SARS-COV-2 infection, or long-COVID, may occur in anywhere from 10-55% of those who have had COVID-19, but the extent impact on daily functioning and disability remains unquantified.
Life expectancy among people with HIV (PWH) is increasing, making chronic conditions-including cancer-increasingly relevant. Among PWH, cancer burden has shifted from AIDS-defining cancers (ADCs) toward non-AIDS-defining (NADCs).
Studies have reported lower incidence of prostate cancer in men living with HIV compared without for reasons that remain unclear. Lower screening could explain these findings. We describe receipt prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test each calendar year by status Medicaid beneficiaries enrolled 14 U.S. states, 2001-2015. A total 15,299,991 aged 18-64 ≥7 months continuous enrollment were included analyses. diagnosis and PSA tests identified using non-drug claims. Incidence rate ratios comparing...
Prostate cancer (PCa) incidence is reportedly lower in men with HIV compared to without for unknown reasons. We describe PCa by status Medicaid beneficiaries, allowing comparison of and who are similar respect socioeconomic characteristics access healthcare. Men (N = 15,167,636) aged 18-64 ≥7 months continuous enrollment during 2001-2015 14 US states were retained analysis. Diagnoses identified using non-drug claims. estimated cause-specific (csHR) comparing status, adjusted age,...
Food insecurity is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in people human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) on antiretroviral therapy, but its relationship immune dysregulation, a hallmark of HIV infection comorbidity, unknown.In 241 women participating the Women's Interagency Study, peripheral blood mononuclear cells were characterized by flow cytometry to identify cell subsets, comprising surface markers activation (%CD38+HLADR+), senescence (%CD57+CD28-), exhaustion (%PD-1+),...
People living with HIV (PLHIV) in the USA, particularly women, have a higher prevalence of food insecurity than general population. Cigarette smoking among PLHIV is common (42%), and are 6-13 times more likely to die from lung cancer AIDS-related causes. This study sought investigate associations between security status severity cohort predominantly low-income women colour without USA.Women enrolled an ongoing longitudinal 2013 2015.Nine participating sites across USA.2553 participants Food...
Psychotropic prescription rates continue to increase in the United States (USA). Few studies have investigated whether social-structural factors may play a role psychotropic medication use independent of mental illness. Food insecurity is prevalent among people living with HIV USA and has been associated poor health. We food was symptoms depression anxiety women USA.We used cross-sectional data from Women's Interagency Study (WIHS), nationwide cohort study. security (FS) primary explanatory...
Background: Studies suggest a lower colorectal cancer (CRC) risk and or similar CRC screening among people with HIV (PWH) compared the general population. We evaluated incidence of endoscopy average-onset (diagnosed at ≥50) early-onset <50) colon by status Medicaid beneficiares comparable sociodemographic factors access to care. Methods: obtained Analytic eXtract (MAX) data from 2001 2015 for 14 states. included 41 727 243 42 062 552 unique individuals least 7 months continuous...
