A multilevel intervention with African American churches to enhance adoption of point-of-care HIV and diabetes testing, 2014-2018.
This article describes a multilevel intervention to enhance the adoption of point-of-care HIV and diabetes testing at church health fairs in Atlanta, GA. Church leaders viewed a video and subsequently conducted social activities that support testing; a third of the churches involved hosted HIV and diabetes health fairs and resulted in an increase in attendees receiving HIV or diabetes testing. The authors conclude that this implementation science approach could reduce HIV and diabetes disparities among African Americans.

Weight gain and incident diabetes among HIV-infected veterans initiating antiretroviral therapy compared with uninfected individuals.
The authors used data from the Veterans Aging Cohort Study to determine whether weight gain after antiretroviral therapy has a similar association with incident type 2 diabetes mellitus as weight gained among HIV-uninfected individuals. They found that weight gained during the first year after antiretroviral therapy initiation is associated with greater risk of diabetes mellitus than that among uninfected individuals.

End-stage renal disease among HIV-infected adults in North America.
Given the many potential contributors to ESRD risk, the goal of this study was to assess the relative contributions of clinical and demographic factors to ESRD. It found that HIV-infected ESRD cases were more likely to be of black race, have diabetes mellitus or hypertension, inject drugs, and/or have a prior AIDS-defining illness.
