This study aims to assess the impact of targeted outreach on linkage to STI and HIV screening and HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) counseling for individuals presenting for Mpox testing. Individuals who had tested for Mpox were contacted via an existing STI outreach team in Dallas, Texas, to engage in STI/HIV screening and other preventive services between June 2022 and March 2023. On retrospective chart review, 414 individuals were tested for Mpox with 203 PCR-confirmed cases. 238/414 (58%) were previously diagnosed with HIV. 76/176 (43%) of individuals with unknown HIV status were screened for HIV, and six new cases of HIV were identified. One-third (136/414) were also tested for other STIs (chlamydia, gonorrhea, or syphilis), with 45 new cases identified. 94/414 (23%) individuals were contacted for outreach after initial Mpox testing. Patients who received outreach were more likely to be tested for HIV (10/26 [38.4%]) compared with those who did not receive outreach (19/144 [13.3%]) (p < 0.001) and more likely to undergo additional STI testing (58/94 [62%] vs. 109/320 [34%]) (p < 0.001). More individuals in the outreach group were counseled on starting PrEP than in the non-outreach group (14/26 [53.8%] vs. 8/144 [5.6%]) (p = 0.0016). Targeted outreach increased screening for HIV and other STIs and counseling for PrEP among patients presenting for Mpox testing. Strategies to increase linkage to preventive services are needed to reduce coinfections of Mpox, HIV, and other STIs.","PeriodicalId":7476,"journal":{"name":"AIDS patient care and STDs","volume":" ","pages":"187-191"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143810303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite this, research on effective pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) messaging tailored to this population remains limited. This study examines how PrEP communication can be adapted to meet the needs of Ghanaian immigrants who represent a segment of the larger African immigrant population. Semistructured interviews were conducted, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using NVivo 12. The analysis highlights key considerations for effective PrEP messaging, including the importance of cultural and linguistic relevance, the role of familiar and relatable messengers, and the need for clear and practical information. Participants emphasized the significance of addressing stigma and misinformation with factual, empathetic messaging and expressed a preference for ongoing community-based education about PrEP. Community leaders and health care professionals were identified as influential sources of information, capable of shaping attitudes and increasing uptake. These findings underscore the necessity of culturally tailored, community-driven approaches to PrEP messaging that bridge linguistic and cultural gaps. Integrating these insights into health communication strategies can improve awareness, acceptance, and utilization of PrEP among Ghanaian immigrants, ultimately contributing to more equitable HIV prevention efforts.","PeriodicalId":7476,"journal":{"name":"AIDS patient care and STDs","volume":" ","pages":"178-186"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143661919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing structural, social, and behavioral factors impede women's engagement with HIV prevention strategies including Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) access, condom usage, and uptake of HIV testing. This study explores the perspectives of women living with HIV (WLWH) about factors that may contribute to HIV acquisition and their advice for women who may benefit from HIV prevention strategies. We conducted semistructured interviews with 40 WLWH who were diagnosed on or after January 1, 2000. Interviews were conducted via Zoom and lasted 45-60 min. Interviews were professionally transcribed, coded, and analyzed to identify themes. Guided by the AIDS Risk Reduction Model, this study uses qualitative findings to describe the steps for recognizing and reducing HIV vulnerabilities. The analysis revealed three themes: (1) recognizing HIV risk for oneself and partner, (2) commiting to decreasing HIV risk, and (3) enacting HIV risk reduction strategies. After recognizing the personal and partner characteristics associated with increased HIV risk and committing to reducing that risk through self-love, relationship assertiveness, and boundary setting, women will be better prepared to enact risk reduction strategies. The four most commonly discussed strategies by WLWH included HIV testing, condom usage, PrEP, and avoiding drug use. This study highlights the importance of understanding the experiences of WLWH to inform effective HIV prevention strategies. Insights from these women emphasized the need for increased awareness, empowerment, and accessible resources to support HIV risk recognition and reduction among women.","PeriodicalId":7476,"journal":{"name":"AIDS patient care and STDs","volume":" ","pages":"203-212"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143623094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Emergency departments (EDs) can be strategic locations for initiating PrEP; however, knowledge concerning patients' receptivity to ED PrEP programs is limited. This study explores ED patients' perspectives on PrEP service delivery and their preferences for implementation. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 15 potentially PrEP-eligible ED patients to examine their receptiveness to PrEP services, preferences for delivery methods, and logistical considerations. Most participants were open to learning about PrEP in the ED, provided it did not delay care, occur during distress, or compromise privacy. Universal PrEP education was viewed as reducing stigma and increasing awareness, while targeted screening was considered efficient. Participants strongly preferred receiving information in person rather than via videos or pamphlets. Concerns included ensuring ED staff expertise and maintaining privacy during PrEP-related discussions. Opinions on initiating same-day PrEP versus prescriptions or referrals varied, with participants valuing flexibility and linkage to care. This first qualitative study of ED patients' perspectives on PrEP services highlights general receptiveness, with key concerns about privacy, expertise, and wait times. Patient-centered approaches, such as integrating services into ED workflows, offering flexible initiation options, and providing privacy, can address barriers and enhance the feasibility of ED-based PrEP programs.","PeriodicalId":7476,"journal":{"name":"AIDS patient care and STDs","volume":"39 5","pages":"192-202"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143955425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These aspects significantly determine individuals' decision-making and behavior, including health care decisions. Given the suboptimal attainment of the HIV-cascade targets in the country, we conducted a study to explore the role of religion, faith, and spirituality on antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation. Our study involved individual interviews with 67 participants recruited from community health centers, public hospitals, and private clinics, predominantly Muslim, including 17 untreated people with HIV (ART-naïve), 30 people with HIV on treatment (ART-experienced), and 20 HIV service providers. Findings revealed that many individuals perceived HIV as a godly punishment related to individual failure (prior risk-prone behaviors), generating shame, guilt, and stigma. Perceiving religion as punitive and unforgiving and holding fatalistic beliefs was linked to postponed ART initiation. Conversely, perceiving religion as loving and forgiving, seeking forgiveness through religious practices, viewing ART intake as a \"collaborative\" effort with God, and engaging in righteous deeds facilitated ART initiation. These findings indicated that religion, faith, and spirituality can serve as both barriers and facilitators to ART initiation, depending on individuals' faith-based practices and perceptions of religion, whether punishing or forgiving. We recommend that people with HIV and health care providers better recognize the role of religion, faith, and spirituality in coping with shame, guilt, and stigma after an HIV diagnosis. This recognition can facilitate informed decisions regarding ART initiation, ultimately improving health outcomes for individuals with HIV in Indonesia.","PeriodicalId":7476,"journal":{"name":"AIDS patient care and STDs","volume":" ","pages":"160-172"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143456622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
