HIV testing is an important preventative step in the HIV continuum of care, however there is little known about HIV testing among these groups. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the HIV testing behaviors of Black transgender women and explore differences in predictors of HIV testing among Black cisgender and transgender women. This study uses secondary data from the 2014-2017 modules of the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. Analyses included multiple hierarchical regression. There are no major differences in HIV testing between Black cisgender and transgender women. A number of sociodemographic characteristics have been shown to predict HIV testing among Black cisgender women, but only employment status and age were significant predictors of HIV testing among Black transgender women. A moderation analysis suggested that gender identity significantly moderates the association between employment status and HIV testing such that the relationship between employment status and receiving an HIV test differs by gender identity. The findings of this study highlight nuances in HIV testing among Black cisgender and transgender women that are useful for improving HIV testing as a mode of HIV prevention. Overall, the findings contribute to our understanding of HIV testing practices among Black cisgender and transgender women.</p>","PeriodicalId":73773,"journal":{"name":"Journal of healthcare, science and the humanities","volume":"11 1","pages":"149-162"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9930511/pdf/jhsh-11-149.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10756249","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}

Without it, many people may find it hard to survive in today's society. There is a multiplicity of ways to communicate, be it verbal or non-verbal.

Health communications is one aspect that is critical for population health. If used properly, it can reduce the risk of epidemics and pandemics. Globally, HIV/AIDS became a pandemic in the early 1980s. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported by 2020, there were more than 55.9 million confirmed cases of HIV/AIDS and 36.3 million died from the dread disease worldwide.

Past efforts to prevent HIV focused on behavioral interventions aimed at reducing sexual risk behavior. More recent HIV prevention methods have included oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) with antiretroviral drugs. Although PrEP has been designated as an effective HIV prevention method since 2012, awareness and uptake of PrEP remains low among African American women. Our study explored African American women's knowledge, perceptions, and willingness of PrEP use. Four focus groups were held in April 2019, consisting of 27 women, who identified as African American and resided in South Carolina. Focus group topics focused on participants' awareness, perceptions, and potential use of PrEP. The majority of women had heard of PrEP; however, over half of the participants were in the HIV or health field. Overall, participants believed that the \"lay woman\" would be unaware of PrEP. Participants' perceptions of PrEP included stigma of PrEP use, benefits to non-monogamous couples, and experiences with PrEP clients. The majority of women were willing to use PrEP, but major concerns around short and long-term side effects were expressed. Participants provided recommendations to improve PrEP uptake among African American women that included targeted campaigns and spokespersons. African American women are interested and supportive of PrEP use for HIV prevention in the South, where HIV rates remain highest. Past PrEP implementation efforts have not been relatable to African American women; therefore, awareness and uptake rates remain low. Future efforts to increase PrEP awareness and uptake among African American women should be relevant, and should provide comprehensive information on potential side effects, purpose of use, and eligibility criteria.</p>","PeriodicalId":73773,"journal":{"name":"Journal of healthcare, science and the humanities","volume":"11 1","pages":"51-72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9930508/pdf/jhsh-11-51.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10756248","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}

This study's objective is to examine the relation between the ART treatment, CD4 levels, Pap, HPV and VIA tests with p16 detection among HIV-infected women. The data used in this study was collected by survey questionnaire instruments in 2009 in Kenya. Descriptive and explanatory statistics using frequency and chi-square/fisher's exact tests were performed for analysis using SAS-software. The data was stratified by age groups (30-39, 40-49, and 50 years and older). 75.28% of single HIV-positive women between the ages 30-39 participated significantly in the study, with a <i>p-value</i> of <0.0001. 52.24% of HIV-positive women 30-39 years old were most likely to receive ART treatment for less than two years by a margin of 11.2% compared to those who received the treatment for more than two years and those who were off treatment by a margin of 2.24% (<i>p-value</i> of 0.03). The HIV-positive women 30-39 years old had lower CD4 counts of less than 350 cells/μl (44%) and higher CD4 counts of 500 cells/μl or higher (46.64%). 45.3% of the HIV-positive women 30-39 years old were more likely to have positive VIA tests with a <i>p-value</i> of 0.05. 65.87% of HIV-positive women 30-39 years old were most likely to have positive VIA tests with a <i>p-value</i> of <0.05.
