This study evaluated PrEP knowledge and perception among healthcare workers in the Unified Health System in a Brazilian capital. Methods: This cross-sectional study collected data through interviews with healthcare workers from 72 Primary Health Care (PHC) units and 5 Specialized Care (SC) services in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul. Binomial logistic regression models were used to analyze factors associated with PrEP knowledge and perception. Results: A total of 372 professionals were interviewed. The majority were PHC professionals (93.0%), female (76.1%), aged between 30 and 39 years (41.4%), heterosexual (83.3%), and non-white (51.9%). PrEP knowledge was higher among LGBTQIA + professionals, those with less than one year of healthcare work experience, those with a positive perception of PrEP, and those attending more patients per day. A positive perception of PrEP was significantly higher among professionals who care for people living with HIV and lower among those with limited knowledge about PrEP.

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.

From February 2021 to December 2022, among 285 PLWH purposively sampled to attain diversity by gender, race/ethnicity, and HIV care retention status in Atlanta, Georgia, we examined interpersonal and community violence experiences and proxy measures of violence (post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression) and their associations with HIV outcomes (engagement and retention in care and HIV viral suppression) using multivariable analysis. Participants commonly reported lifetime intimate partner violence (89%), non-partner violence (97%), hate crimes (93%), and moderate-to-severe adverse childhood events (59%). Lifetime violence experiences were not significantly linked to HIV care engagement, retention, nor durable viral suppression, but were each individually associated with PTSD, which in turn, was significantly associated lower odds of durable viral suppression (AOR 0.35, CI 0.14-0.86). Thus, the high prevalence and multiplicity of interpersonal and community-level violence experienced among PLWH in Atlanta underscores the need for universal trauma-informed approaches and supports implementation of PTSD screening to identify patients at greatest need for trauma support services.","PeriodicalId":48370,"journal":{"name":"Aids Care-Psychological and Socio-Medical Aspects of Aids/hiv","volume":" ","pages":"790-801"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12048247/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143068963","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}

Effective preventative efforts necessitate an understanding of healthcare utilization trends prior to suicide death for PLWH to facilitate the identification of areas for improvement in screening and prevention. The present study aimed to identify patterns of healthcare utilization in PLWH who died by suicide using a population-based cohort design. Administrative datasets from British Columbia, Canada were analyzed using unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression models to assess healthcare utilization in the 90-day period prior to suicide death for 98 PLWH and 170 age- and sex-matched people without HIV (PWoH). PLWH were found to have greater rates of healthcare engagement prior to suicide death, with increased likelihood of any healthcare visit and a greater median count of total healthcare visits compared to controls. Despite this, no significant difference in degree of engagement with mental healthcare and self-harm healthcare services was observed between PLWH and PWoH. These findings suggest that PLWH who die by suicide engage with the healthcare system more than their counterparts without HIV, and point to the importance of differential screening and prevention strategies for PLWH on antiretroviral therapy.","PeriodicalId":48370,"journal":{"name":"Aids Care-Psychological and Socio-Medical Aspects of Aids/hiv","volume":" ","pages":"812-821"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143568570","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}
