Background: Estimated numbers of men who have sex with (MSM) by race/ethnicity and mortality rates among such MSM HIV/AIDS are unavailable. This hampers efficient targeting prevention care resources. Methods: An existing estimation methodology was adapted to develop population estimates for Miami-Dade County, Florida. We ascertained characterized deaths that occurred during 2003 2005 cases, matching surveillance vital statistics registries. calculated estimated average annual...
Objectives. Men who have sex with men (MSM) bear the greatest burden of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired syndrome (AIDS) in every state U.S., but their populations are poorly defined. We estimated and compared MSM 2007 by region, state, race/ethnicity. Methods. averaged findings from two statistical models we had previously developed to estimate total state-specific percentage number males were MSM. The based, respectively, on rural/suburban/urban characteristics an index using...
In Miami-Dade County Florida (Miami), the rate of newly diagnosed HIV per 100,000 population is four times national with a large majority transmission due to male-to-male sex. Latinx men are prescribed preventative medication (PrEP) at lower than White individuals; as such, efforts being made by community health organizations engage who have sex (LMSM) in PrEP promotion programs. The objective this study characterize features, strengths, and weaknesses implementation program (DiversiPrEP)...
Background: Returning to work after traumatic injury can be problematic. We developed a vocational telerehabilitation (VR) intervention for trauma survivors, delivered by trained occupational therapists (OTs) and clinical psychologists (CPs), explored factors affecting delivery acceptability in feasibility study. Methods: Surveys pre- (5 OTs, 2 CPs) post-training (3 1 CP); interviews post-intervention (4 4 CPs). Mean survey scores 14 theoretical domains identified barriers (score ≤ 3.5)...
DiversiPrEP is a culturally-tailored PrEP program for LMSM offered in South Florida. navigates through their journey, including education, deciding if relevant them, payment, and accessing/maintaining use. includes five ERIC strategies (Increase Demand, Promote Adaptability, Alter Client Fees, Intervene with Clients to Enhance Uptake Adherence, Tailor Strategies).
Background: Population-based HIV incidence, prevalence, and mortality rates among men who have sex with (MSM) been unavailable, limiting assessment of racial/ethnic disparities epidemic dynamics. Methods: Using estimated numbers MSM aged ≥18 years by race/ethnicity as denominators, from models in our prior work, we prevalence for 2006-2007 incidence 2006 Florida. Results: Overall, the per 100,000 were 7354.8 (2006), 7758.3 (2007). With white referent, rate ratios (RRs) equaled 3.7 blacks 3.6...
Despite the increasing availability of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), Latinx men who have sex with (LMSM) are not receiving PrEP-related information. To understand influence LMSM sexual networks on conversations and encouragement to use PrEP, this cross-sectional egocentric network study characterized communication 130 egos 507 partners (alters). Participants were recruited using respondent-driven sampling methods from a Miami-Dade County community-health organization. Egocentric-level...
Injuries can have a long-lasting effect on ability to return work, but there is little research which outcomes are most important patients. This study aims identify and prioritise return-to-work patients for evaluating vocational rehabilitation interventions. Nominal group technique focus with trauma Focus participants (n = 6) included mostly traumatic brain injuries, range of occupation types, ages both genders. Participants identified prioritised their eight were: sense purpose life...
Objective: To examine factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine uptake in a sample of Latino/a/x sexual and/or gender minority (SGM) individuals South Florida. Design: Data were collected via an online survey from March 2021 to August 2022, as part the Community Engagement Alliance Against Disparities. A multivariate regression analysis was fit using completion regimen outcome. Key covariates included trusted sources information (eg, doctor, media), COVID-19–related challenges accessing...
Abstract Background Monitoring genotypes of HIV infections in blood donors may provide insights into infection trends the general population. Methods RNA was extracted from plasma samples confirmed as positive by screening nucleic acid and antibody tests. genome target regions were amplified using nested real time-polymerase chain reaction followed next-generation sequencing. Sequences compared to those Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) database. also assessed for drug resistance...
Abstract Background Ongoing engagement in HIV care is crucial to optimizing outcomes while addressing changing needs. This project aimed identify and address gaps education, counseling engagement. Methods Between 12/2021 5/2022, 20 education sessions for people with (PWH) were held 5 US clinics as a 4-part series emphasizing (1) benefits of viral suppression, (2) talking about sexual health, (3) treatment options, (4) aging well HIV. Surveys administered participating PWH healthcare...
