Despite the known impact of symptoms, physical activity, and physical function on health, little is known about the relationships and interactions between these variables and BMI and maximum oxygen consumption during exercise (VO<sub>2</sub> max) in a multinational population of PWH. We examined the relationship of BMI with PROMIS-29 measures, physical activity, strength, flexibility, and VO<sub>2</sub> max in a diverse sample of PWH. Additionally, we examined the relationship of VO<sub>2</sub> max with PROMIS-29 measures. Data from 810 PWH who participated in a cross-sectional study conducted by the International Nursing Network for HIV Research (Study VII) were analyzed. Participants were recruited from 8 sites across the United States, Thailand, and South Africa. BMI was calculated from collected height and weight data. Physical function and symptoms were assessed using the PROMIS-29 measure. Physical activity was assessed using the 7-day Physical Activity Recall. VO<sub>2</sub> max was calculated using sex at birth, age, BMI and the 6-minute Walk Test. Data were analyzed using descriptive, correlational, and regression statistical analyses. Participants had an average age of 49.1 (± 11.1) years, 44% were female, and the average BMI of the sample group was 27 kg/m2 (± 6.7).

Common aspects of humanitarian crises such as poverty, powerlessness, disruptions to the health systems, and social instability can contribute to a person’s vulnerability to HIV infection through increased risk behaviors and limited access to health services. Guided by the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) reporting guidelines, we conducted a scoping review of literature published in English between January 1990 and March 2022 to characterize the global evidence of modifiable and non-modifiable factors for HIV acquisition in the context of humanitarian crises. We systematically searched, screened, and synthesized literature from MEDLINE, Embase, Global Health (all accessed via Ovid), and Scopus, and also grey literature through websites of humanitarian agencies and relevant non-government organizations, the International AIDS Society’s abstract databases, and Google Scholar. We considered studies presenting empirical data on HIV prevalence, incidence, or risk factors in humanitarian crises-affected populations, including refugees, asylum seekers, and internally displaced persons. Forty-nine studies met the inclusion criteria. The majority of studies were quantitative (n = 43, 87.8%) and cross-sectional (n = 37, 75.5%) in design. Most were single-country studies (n = 43, 87.8%) and conducted in Sub-Saharan Africa (n = 31, 63.3%). We identified 5 non-modifiable factors for HIV acquisition (i.e., age, gender, location, place of birth or origin, and ethnicity) and 60 modifiable factors that we further classified into five categories, namely 18 policy and structural, 9 sociocultural, 11 health and mental health, 16 sexual practice, and 6 humanitarian crisis-related traumatic event factors. Within the modifiable categories, factors that were most often investigated were education level, marital status, sexually transmitted infection diagnosis, condom use, and experience of rape or sexual trauma, respectively. Informed by the findings, we applied the social-ecological model to map the identified multidimensional factors associated with HIV acquisition at the levels of individual, social and sexual networks, community, public policy, and the context of humanitarian crises. The current review provides a comprehensive, global analysis of the available evidence on HIV prevalence, incidence, and risk factors in humanitarian crises and implications for potential programs and research.

We evaluated county-level SDoH and associations with hospitalization after a COVID-19 diagnosis among people with (PWH) and without HIV (PWOH) by racial/ethnic groups. We used the U.S. National COVID Cohort Collaborative (January 2020-November 2023), a nationally-sampled electronic health record repository, to identify adults who were diagnosed with COVID-19 with HIV (n = 22,491) and without HIV (n = 2,220,660). We aggregated SDoH measures at the county-level and categorized racial/ethnic groups as Non-Hispanic (NH) White, NH-Black, Hispanic/Latinx, NH-Asian and Pacific Islander (AAPI), and NH-American Indian or Alaskan Native (AIAN). To estimate associations of county-level SDoH with hospitalization after a COVID-19 diagnosis, we used multilevel, multivariable logistic regressions, calculating adjusted relative risks (aRR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). COVID-19 related hospitalization occurred among 11% of PWH and 7% of PWOH, with the highest proportion among NH-Black PWH (15%). In evaluating county-level SDoH among PWH, we found higher average household size was associated with lower risk of COVID-19 related hospitalization across racial/ethnic groups. Higher mean commute time (aRR: 1.76; 95% CI 1.10–2.62) and higher proportion of adults without health insurance (aRR: 1.40; 95% CI 1.04–1.84) was associated with a higher risk of COVID-19 hospitalization among NH-Black PWH, however, NH-Black PWOH did not demonstrate these associations. Differences by race and ethnicity exist in associations of adverse county-level SDoH with COVID-19 outcomes among people with and without HIV in the U.S.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7543,"journal":{"name":"AIDS and Behavior","volume":"28 1 supplement","pages":"136 - 148"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10461-024-04466-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142263222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
