This study aimed to determine HIV status disclosure and related factors among children living with HIV in Tanzania. A study employing quantitative and qualitative methods was conducted from September 2021 to March 2022 among children aged 6-14 receiving HIV care. Semi-structured questionnaires were administered to disclosed and undisclosed children (through their parents/caregivers). The analysis included bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses and thematic content analysis for qualitative data. A total of 121 children participated in the quantitative analysis, with 51 (42%) aware of their HIV status. Multivariate analysis showed children aged 9-11 (OR=2.7; 95% CI=0.8-9.0) and 12 years (OR=30; 95% CI=7.2-124) were more likely to know their status than those aged 6-8. Having a treatment supporter/relative (OR=2.9; 95% CI=1.0-8.2) was significantly associated with disclosure. Disclosure was not associated with depression. In-depth interviews revealed themes like disclosure challenges, stigma, and reasons for non-disclosure. HIV status disclosure in Kilimanjaro was associated with age and having a treatment supporter. Addressing age-related challenges and emphasizing the role of treatment supporters can improve disclosure outcomes.","PeriodicalId":48370,"journal":{"name":"Aids Care-Psychological and Socio-Medical Aspects of Aids/hiv","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143442345","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}

A total of 33 transgender and gender-diverse individuals participated in either a World Café conversation or an individual interview about preferences for long-acting PrEP.

Two themes emerged: (1) challenges related to long-acting PrEP for transgender and gender-expansive individuals and (2) bundling long-acting PrEP and gender-affirming hormone therapy.

To our knowledge, no study has examined the association between gender-affirming practices in healthcare settings and HIV testing among transgender and nonbinary U.S. young adults. This study analyzed national cross-sectional, online data from transgender and nonbinary U.S. young adults aged 18-30 years (N = 225) to assess the association between the gender affirmation sub-scale of the Transgender and Gender Diverse Healthcare Discrimination and Adverse Experiences Scale (range: 0-20) and past-year HIV testing using multivariable logistic regression. We found that a one-point increase in the gender affirmation sub-scale score was positively associated with past-year HIV testing (odds ratio = 1.15; 95% confidence interval: 1.06, 1.26), adjusting for age, geographic region, gender identity, educational attainment, employment status, having a usual source of care, and health insurance status.

High adverse childhood experience (ACE) scores (≥ 4) reflect childhood trauma and are associated with HIV risk behaviors. Studies examining ACE and HIV testing are limited, with mixed results. We performed a retrospective cross-sectional study examining ACE score, HIV risk behaviors, and previous HIV testing utilizing the S.C Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System over six years. We separately compared individuals <35/≥35 years old, with/without risk behaviors, and with/without previous testing. Using logistic regression, we determined factors associated with risk behaviors and previous testing. Of 55,087 surveyed, 15% reported high ACE. High ACE was associated with risk behaviors (aOR 2.652, 95% CI: 1.987-3.538) and previous testing (aOR 2.340, 95% CI: 2.031-2.696). Female respondents had lower odds of risk behaviors (aOR 0.442, 95% CI: 0.336-0.581) and previous testing (aOR 0.822, 95% CI: 0.736-0.919). Individuals <35 years old more often reported high ACE score (25% vs 14%, p < 0.001), risk behaviors (13% vs 2.5%, p < 0.001), and previous testing (46% vs 30%, p < 0.001). Women, who make up 20% of HIV diagnoses, were less likely to report risk behaviors and testing, suggesting traditional risk factors underestimate risk.

A growing cohort of studies has utilized message experiments to examine how different approaches for communicating scientific uncertainty impact public perceptions. Extending this program, we examine the effects of communicating different levels of uncertainty on public perceptions of advancements in HIV/AIDS research. Participants (N = 306) were randomly assigned to view one of three messages in a single-factor experiment with low-, medium-, or high-uncertainty tweets. Outcome measures included perceived uncertainty and support for HIV research. Tweets with a greater emphasis on uncertainty decreased individuals' support not just for the research reported but for research in this critical field as a whole; the way individuals interpret the level of uncertainty presented in the tweets played a crucial role in shaping their attitudes towards supporting HIV/AIDS research. Perceived uncertainty mediated this relationship. As the messaging became more uncertain, participants were more likely to perceive higher levels of uncertainty overall. Participants who perceived greater levels of uncertainty were inclined to express a reduced level of support for HIV/AIDS research. The source of the uncertainty influenced message credibility.","PeriodicalId":48370,"journal":{"name":"Aids Care-Psychological and Socio-Medical Aspects of Aids/hiv","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143400373","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}

Condomless sex, having multiple sex partners, genital caressing and being uncircumcised were seen as susceptible exposure. Taking life-long treatment and stigma were perceived as severity. However, participants had no intent to circumcise in the near future even after acknowledging the severity. Hygiene, prevention of sexually transmitted infections including HIV were perceived as main benefits. Fear of pain was perceived as key barrier impeding adopting circumcision and seemed to outweigh the benefits for some participants.
