Introduction to Hiv Primary

BACKGROUND While addressing smoking cessation in the context of HIV primary care may increase the acceptability of smoking cessation treatment for patients, HIV care providers have not been trained in offering these treatments.

Routine ACEs screening can improve delivery of trauma-informed care in the HIV primary care setting.

Rotations in HIV primary care clinics have the potential to teach trainees core competencies and influence their career pathway.

INTRODUCTION Management of chronic pain is an essential aspect of HIV primary care.

CBI was integrated into two HIV primary care clinics.

The TOWard SafER Opioid Prescribing (TOWER) intervention was designed to support HIV primary care providers in use of the CDCG and in decision-making and patient-provider communication regarding safe opioid prescribing.

Our experiences serve as a model for HIV primary care clinics working to advance implementation of PCC services.

HIV reservoir, here defined as resting CD4 cells that harbor replication-competent HIV, is established in 2 to 3 days of HIV primary infection.

METHODS Retrospective, cross-sectional study at The Brooklyn Hospital Center's HIV primary care clinic in Brooklyn, NY.

METHODS This study included patients 18 years or older who were on antiretroviral therapy (ART) with at least 2 visits to an HIV primary care clinic in the past year.

WLHIV (n = 108) who experienced IPV and were patients at two HIV primary care clinics in San Francisco completed quantitative surveys; 15 participants also completed a qualitative interview.

The primary outcomes of the study were viral suppression (viral load <20 copies/mL) and postpartum retention in care (attending at least one or two visits with HIV primary care within 12 months postpartum).

To quantify the impact of telehealth on retention in care for a vulnerable HIV-infected population and to identify patient perspectives of telehealth and its effect on appointment attendance, we studied patients at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) 360 Wellness Center, an HIV primary care clinic in urban San Francisco, California.

Acquisition of HIV primary drug resistant (PDR) infection can lead to poor virologic and clinical outcomes in individuals and hampers public health efforts in epidemic control.

The Centers for AIDS Research Network of Integrated Clinical Systems (CNICS) cohort study integrates medical record and survey data from people living with HIV (PLWH) seen in HIV primary care clinics across the United States, and assesses internalized stigma yearly using a validated 4-item Likert scale.

Retesting was most common in Infectious Diseases/HIV Primary Care (73.

CONCLUSIONS Diagnosis with gonorrhea, especially among MSM, should be a sentinel event triggering screening for HIV, referral to high-impact HIV prevention interventions or to HIV primary care.

Despite efforts to scale-up HIV-prevention programs, socioeconomic inequalities remain substantial over the continuum of HIV primary and secondary prevention in several SSA countries.

However, virtually nothing is known about factors internal and external to the clinical environment that might influence adoption of TIC in HIV primary care clinics.

Two opportunities to utilize CHWs to address the barriers identified in this geographic area are as policy advocates and as an integrated member of the HIV primary care team.

Effective CHW integration into the HIV primary care team requires a training and supervision system that is culturally responsive to the complex social and medical needs of people with HIV.

Using population nonlinear mixed-effects (pNLME) statistical inference and viral loads from 46 RV217 study participants, we developed a relatively simple HIV primary infection model that achieved an excellent fit to all data.

The aims were to determine how physician mistrust, medical system mistrust, and discrimination experiences were associated with engagement in HIV primary care.

TIP has an established record of reaching ITE and linking them to HIV prevention services and HIV primary care.

, with comorbid chronic illnesses, on second-line cART, experiencing perceived HIV-stigma or with problems accessing HIV care) may benefit from early identification, treatment or referral, which requires integration of mental health programmes into HIV primary care.

In 2015, 5 PhCs, employed part time, were involved with 8 different clinics: (1) HIV Adherence and Complex Care, (2) HIV Transitions of Care, (3) HCV Mono- and Co-Infection, (4) HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), (5) HIV Primary Care and Cardiovascular Risk Reduction, (6) Young Adult Clinic, (7) Perinatal HIV, and (8) Pediatric HIV.

Methods: We conducted 17 qualitative interviews with patients in a collaborative care model implemented at an HIV primary care clinic in a safety-net hospital in the United States.

Results Among 207 women, 80% attended an HIV primary care visit in a mean 124 days after delivery.

ABSTRACT Chronic pain – widely classified as pain lasting longer than 3 months – has emerged as a treatment priority among people living with HIV (PLHIV), and has been associated with decreased patient retention in HIV primary care.

To conduct formative health systems research on the implementation of routine depression screening using a digital tool – Mood in Retroviral Positive Individuals Application Monitoring (MIR + IAM) – in an HIV primary care setting in South Africa.

METHODS Between April, 2016 and April, 2017, we conducted a screening survey with patients in an HIV primary care clinic in Seattle, Washington, who had chronic HCV coinfection or a history of chronic HCV infection who had successfully cleared their infection with treatment.

Case presentationWe report a case of a 52-year-old MSM eligible for PrEP as he was exposed to a high risk of HIV infection, presented no clinical symptoms of HIV primary infection and was seronegative for HIV.

Objective The goal of the research was to determine whether Positive Health Check (PHC)—a Web-based, tailored video counseling tool focused on increasing patient adherence and retention in care and reducing HIV risk among HIV-positive patients—was acceptable, appropriate, and feasible for HIV primary care clinic staff to implement in clinic workflows.

The Max Clinic in Seattle, Washington, is a walk-in, incentivized HIV care model located in a public health STD clinic that provides care in collaboration with a comprehensive HIV primary care clinic (the Madison Clinic).

Aim To describe the process of implementing a novel EPA-based curriculum for the HIV Primary Care Training Track including EPA-based trainee evaluation tools.

METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We included PLWH with at least one HIV primary care visit from 2010-2016 at seven sites of the Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) Network of Integrated Clinical Systems (CNICS).

Results Among the 104 HIV primary care clinics, representing the care of 49,654 people living with HIV (PLWH), ARV Rx rates ranged from 41.

METHODS PLWH with ≥1 attended HIV primary care visit from 2010-2016 at seven sites in the Centers for AIDS Research Network of Integrated Clinical Systems (CNICS) were included.

Here, we aimed to examine the association between food insecurity and viral load suppression in people with HIV on antiretroviral therapy (ART) at an HIV primary care practice.

We examined the relationship between receipt of Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) supplementary services and six different measures of RiC among 2,288 adults living with HIV who received HIV primary care services at a large, academically-affiliated HIV/AIDS clinic in the southeastern United States in 2016.

Herein we describe the development and preliminary testing of a theory-based intervention, called TOWER (TOWard SafER Opioid Prescribing), designed to support HIV primary care providers in CDCG-adherent opioid prescribing practices with PWH who are already prescribed opioids for chronic pain.

The purpose of the present qualitative study was to understand HIV care provider perceptions and approaches to managing unhealthy alcohol use in HIV primary care settings.

, HIV primary care, SUD treatment, pharmacy).

We selected an age-matched sample of women living without HIV seen in one of two university-affiliated non-HIV primary care clinics as the comparator group and focused our analysis on women with a documented discussion of contraception in clinic.

These results highlight the potential value of routine ACEs screening to enhance delivery of trauma-informed HIV primary care.

Methods The records of all PWH who attended at least one routine care HIV primary provider visit from 2009 to 2018 at the UAB 1917 HIV Clinic in Birmingham, AL were abstracted.

ABSTRACT For persons living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA), care by an HIV-specialist improves outcomes and satisfaction with one's HIV primary care provider (PCP) promotes engagement with care.
