The influence of trust in physicians and trust in the healthcare system on linkage, retention, and adherence to HIV care.
The present study was designed to determine if trust in physicians and the healthcare system among persons newly diagnosed with HIV infection was predictive of patients' subsequent linkage, retention, and adherence to HIV care. No significant association was found between trust-in-physicians and linkage to care or adherence to antiretroviral therapy.

The HIV care continuum: changes over time in retention in care and viral suppression.
The researchers followed individual patients over a three-year period to determine how retention in care and viral suppression statuses interact and change over time. Overall, 65.8 percent of patients were retained/suppressed, 17.4 percent retained/not-suppressed, 10.0 percent not-retained/suppressed, and 6.8 percent not-retained/not-suppressed in 2010. 59.5 percent of patients maintained the same status in 2011 and 53.3 percent maintained the same status in 2012.

Preliminary outcomes of a pilot physical therapy program for HIV-infected patients with chronic pain.
This paper presents the results of a pilot project to integrate a physical therapy (PT) program into the HIV pain/palliative care clinic. It provides preliminary evidence that the pilot program improved musculoskeletal pain scores in HIV-infected individuals – notably more than the difference in pain scores observed in the studies of opioids.
