Long-acting ART options, like injectables, could help address these challenges; however, their acceptability among SMM in South Africa remains unclear. Between April and June 2024, qualitative interviews were conducted with 21 SMM who participated in the Speaking Out & Allying Relationships (SOAR) a video- and skills-based HIV intervention, supporting SMM's communication and coping skills for status-sharing and treatment adherence in South Africa, to explore their initial impressions of injectable ART. Interviews explored disclosure, adherence, partner dynamics, and attitudes toward injectable ART. Participants viewed injectables as a major improvement over daily pills, citing benefits, such as reduced mental burden and increased privacy and safety. They felt that injectables could give them more control over disclosure, and flexibility to manage treatment during social interactions. These findings suggest that long-acting ART could improve adherence and reduce stigma, aligning with SMMs dynamic lifestyle.

Despite these advantages, research often faces recruitment challenges, particularly under-representation of women and ethnic minorities. This study explores the views of people living with HIV regarding research participation. This mixed-methods study was conducted at a central London hospital's HIV outpatient clinic and Clinical Trials Centre from April 2018 to January 2019. Using the COM-B models as a theoretical framework, questionnaires were designed for individuals currently or previously involved in research, and for those with no prior research involvement. Questions included demographics, motivators and reservations about research participation, and the importance of information sources when deciding to participate in research. Quantitative data were analysed descriptively, and a framework analysis of qualitative data was completed. Of the 155 respondents, 50 were participating in research, and 105 were not. Key motivators included advancing medical knowledge, altruism and access to new treatments. Major barriers were time commitments and concerns about side effects. 80% of people participating in research, and 74% of those not participating rating rated discussions with regular clinicians to be very important when deciding to participate in research. Women faced similar barriers to the overall cohort, particularly related to time commitments and care-giving responsibilities. Research participation is influenced by the therapeutic relationship with, and input from regular clinicians. Addressing barriers such as time commitments through flexible scheduling, integrating research and clinical visits, and utilising remote visits could improve recruitment. Involving patients in research design via Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) ensures protocols are acceptable and tailored to participant needs. Effective collaboration between researchers and clinicians is essential to optimise research recruitment. Clear, empathetic communication and flexible study designs can address participant concerns, ultimately enhancing involvement in clinical research.</p>","PeriodicalId":48370,"journal":{"name":"Aids Care-Psychological and Socio-Medical Aspects of Aids/hiv","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144683412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We evaluated probabilities of suppression over time and characteristics associated with persistent viremia and viral rebound among MSM and PWID living with HIV (PLHIV) using 12 months of data collected between 2017-2019 from a cluster-randomized trial across 16 cities in India. To assessprobabilities of suppression, we fit logistic transition models with generalized estimating equations. To assess correlates of persistent viremia and viral rebound, we fit multivariable multilevel logistic regression models. Of 750 PWID, 88% were male and 14% completed high school. Of 850 MSM, 29% completed high school and 54% were married. 46% of PWID and 67% of MSM maintained viral suppression once achieved. Probabilities of viral rebound decreased over time. The probability of newly achieving suppression decreased, from 33%-12% after six months among PWID and 60%-13% among MSM. Among PWID, correlates of persistent viremia included lower education, employment, homelessness, and active injection. Among MSM, hazardous alcohol use was associated with viremia and viral rebound. Treatment engagement and support efforts need to be intensified to encourage PLHIV to achieve life-long suppression.</p>","PeriodicalId":48370,"journal":{"name":"Aids Care-Psychological and Socio-Medical Aspects of Aids/hiv","volume":" ","pages":"1085-1096"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12400641/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143742603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
