This qualitative study sought to understand how community health workers who work with people living with HIV in one Mid-South community were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and ways in which these changes affected them. Virtual qualitative interviews were conducted with 23 community health workers and supervisors across five organizations from April to July 2020. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. The five themes discovered were (a) virtual service delivery’s impact on the community health worker-client relationship, (b) the use of technology to communicate with clients, (c) increased work responsibilities, (d) the need for support and self-care; and (e) the extra layer of trauma that the murder of George Floyd added. Recommendations for supporting and strengthening the community health workforce are offered.Keywords: Community health workersCOVID-19service providersHIVburnoutadults < age AcknowledgmentsThe authors thank the Providence/Boston Center for AIDS Research (CFAR).Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Ethical statementThis study was approved by the University of Memphis Institutional Review Board, study # PRO-FY2020-83.

From 2009-2014, national HIV prevention goals included a reduction in homelessness among PWH. We sought to examine social ecological factors associated with homelessness among PWH at a sub-national level during that period.Methods: National data were used to identify Delaware as the only jurisdiction where homelessness among PWH declined from 2009-2014. We analyzed population-level indicators and conducted telephone interviews with 6 key stakeholders to further examine this trend.Results: Overall homelessness, household poverty, and median housing price were associated with homelessness among PWH in Delaware. Key stakeholders indicated that centralized intake processes improved screening, referral, and linkages of clients to housing units.Discussion: In addition to social and economic factors, collaborative program strategies may improve housing outcomes for PWH. Monitoring trends at sub-national levels can help identify successful approaches as well as needed services or policy change.","PeriodicalId":44452,"journal":{"name":"Journal of HIV-AIDS & Social Services","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9348807/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40592517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the study looked at the causes and patterns of social exclusion, as well as strategies for reducing the exclusion of HIV/AIDS positive people. It also emphasized the importance of reconsidering social work education and the role of non-governmental organizations in curbing the stigma that these people confront. In this qualitative study, a convenience sampling approach was utilized to select the participants from the NGO, Ashar Alo Society (AAS). The findings are grouped into four themes: social stigma towards HIV/AIDS positive people, social exclusion from family and community, healthcare, education, and employment, the role of the non-governmental organizations in reducing their exclusion and vulnerabilities and reconsideration of social work knowledge. Recommendations include the provision of remote healthcare and support services to combat stigma, as well as the adoption of social work knowledge in the new NGO efforts to assist PLWHIV in accessing care.","PeriodicalId":44452,"journal":{"name":"Journal of HIV-AIDS & Social Services","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42348910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted a mixed-methods study utilizing a triangulation design with N = 20 SCYP aged 11–18 (50% female; M = 13.95 years; SD = 2.11) recruited from two cities in Georgia. SCYP completed a close-ended survey and an in-depth interview on their perceptions of romantic and exchange sex relationships. Quantitative analyses examined gender differences in perceptions of romantic and exchange sex partners, and qualitative data was analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. Quantitative findings indicated that a higher proportion of female than male SCYP endorsed engaging in HIV-related transmission behaviors with exchange sex partners. Thematic analysis contextualized survey findings by elucidating the ways in which females negotiated a highly gendered risk environment that elevated their vulnerability to HIV. Study results highlight the need for gender-responsive programming to address the HIV prevention needs of both male and female SCYP in the Republic of Georgia.","PeriodicalId":44452,"journal":{"name":"Journal of HIV-AIDS & Social Services","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45592073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to determine the influence of grandmothers when continuing with the prevention of mother-to-child transmission interventions within 6 weeks after delivery. Qualitative, explorative, descriptive, and contextual designs were used. The population comprised of fifteen grandmothers of HIV-exposed babies. Data were collected through unstructured face-to-face interviews and analyzed through the open coding method. Three themes emerged showing knowledge deficit related to MTCT risks when using traditional practices; cultural and religious practices influencers to traditional diagnoses and management and mixed feeding practices predispose babies. Total elimination of MTCT of HIV in rural context calls for targeted education for grandmothers. Knowledge of traditional and cultural practices that perpetuate MTCT could assist in developing the contextual health education content to change grandmothers’ beliefs on infant feeding, prevention, and management of childhood illnesses.","PeriodicalId":44452,"journal":{"name":"Journal of HIV-AIDS & Social Services","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46430682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, focus group discussions and in-depth interviews were conducted to explore perceived HIV stigmatization and association with cervical screening adoption in a sample of HIV-positive women who never screened for cervical cancer. It was found that participants who had not disclosed their HIV status to others did not experience perceived HIV stigmatization. Further, perceived HIV stigmatization did not hinder cervical screening adoption due to assertiveness among participants. Those who had not experienced perceived HIV stigmatization due to non-status disclosure were unaware of their susceptibility to cervical cancer. Some participants who had not experienced perceived HIV stigmatization were aware of cervical cancer but were reluctant to screen due to religion-related denial. Some participants who experienced perceived HIV stigmatization perceived that the experience hindered cervical screening adoption. Our findings will inform psychological interventions that may strengthen cervical screening adoption in this patient group.","PeriodicalId":44452,"journal":{"name":"Journal of HIV-AIDS & Social Services","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42363702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
