Virtual voices: examining social support exchanged through participant-generated and unmoderated content in a mobile intervention to improve HIV antiretroviral therapy adherence among GBMSM.
The goal of this study was to investigate how social support was provided and sought by gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) within a technology-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence intervention. Participants used the messaging feature in to discuss and exchange support around HIV treatment and care. The most salient HIV treatment and care issues were lab results, upcoming tests, ART adherence and side effects, regimen changes, and relationships with healthcare providers. The authors concluded that this analysis provided an opportunity to understand how participants informally interact with one another, how they seek and provide social support online, and their relevant personal issues.

Protocol of the randomized control trial: the WiseApp trial for improving health outcomes in PLWH (WiseApp).
This paper outlines the protocol for the WiseApp randomized control trial. The WiseApp contains real-time medication monitoring linking an electronic pill bottle and fitness tracker to the app, helping persons living with HIV (PLWH) self-manage their medication adherence and improve their overall quality of life. The primary objective of the trial is to test the effect of the WiseApp's medication adherence features on antiretroviral adherence in underserved PLWH in New York City. The real-time monitoring of the WiseApp has the potential to help providers initiate interventions to help patients resume treatment before drug resistance begins.

Factors related to biological sex differences in engagement with healthcare providers in persons living with HIV.
Investigators conducted a secondary analysis of data collected from four projects focused on improving health outcomes in persons living with HIV (PLWH). They found that male patients displayed negative association between depression and engagement with healthcare providers and positive association between engagement with healthcare providers and medication adherence, while female patients showed no association between any of these factors. Anxiety and stigma were not significantly associated with medication adherence. They concluded that adherence interventions for PLWH should be tailored by biological sex.

Brief report: linking depressive symptoms to viral nonsuppression among women with HIV through adherence self-efficacy and ART adherence.
The authors examined a longitudinal sequential path model of the association between depressive symptoms and viral non-suppression in women with HIV (WWH) through adherence self-efficacy beliefs and antiretroviral treatment (ART) adherence behavior mechanisms. Their findings supported depressive symptoms' association with adherence self-efficacy that in turn lead to suboptimal ART adherence and ultimately to viral non-suppression for WWH. They recommended tailoring of interventions aimed at addressing depressive symptoms, substance use, and adherence self-efficacy among WWH to help close the gap between ART prescription and viral suppression on the HIV care continuum.

Substance use stigma and antiretroviral therapy adherence among a drug-using population living with HIV.
Among people living with HIV (PLWH), HIV-related stigma predicts nonadherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART); however, the role of stigma associated with drug use is largely unknown. The this study the investigators examined the association between substance use (SU) stigma and optimal ART adherence in a sample of 172 self-reported HIV-infected drug users.

Drug use mediates the relationship between depressive symptoms and adherence to ART among recently incarcerated people living with HIV.
The purpose of this study was to identify the mechanisms involved with antiretroviral therapy (ART) non-adherence among people living with HIV (PLHIV) after release from prison. Results showed that, on average, study participants achieved 79% ART adherence. Greater symptoms of depression were associated with greater drug use, which was in turn associated with lower adherence. Lower adherence self-efficacy was associated with depressive symptoms, but not with adherence. Results suggested that depression screening and targeted mental health and substance use services for depressed individuals at risk of substance use constitute important steps to promote adherence to ART after prison release.

HIV-related stigma and viral suppression among African-American women: exploring the mediating roles of depression and ART nonadherence.
Investigators recruited a sample of African-American women living with HIV to participate in a stigma-reduction intervention. The women lived in Chicago and Birmingham from 2013 to 2015. The relationship between HIV-related stigma and viral suppression was evaluated and the role of depression and nonadherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) was assessed. Among 100 women who participated 95% reported some level of HIV-related stigma. Those who reported higher levels of stigma did have lower odds of being virally suppressed. The indirect effects of depression and ART nonadherence were not statistically significant.

Buffering internalization of HIV stigma: implications for treatment adherence and depression.
One mechanism through which social stigma of HIV affects health outcomes for people living with HIV (PLWH) is through internalization of stigma. However, this transformation of social stigma in the community into internalized stigma may not be of the same magnitude for all PLWH. In this study, the investigators examined the moderating effects of 3 personality traits-fear of negative social evaluation, attachment-related anxiety, and dispositional resilience-in transforming perceived stigma in the community into internalized stigma. They also investigated downstream effects of these moderated associations on depressive symptoms and antiretroviral treatment (ART) adherence.

Longitudinal association between internalized HIV stigma and antiretroviral therapy adherence for women living with HIV: the mediating role of depression.
This study investigated whether internalized HIV-related stigma predicts adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) longitudinally in women living with HIV in the United States; symptoms of depression as a mediator in the relationship between internalized stigma and suboptimal ART adherence was also examined. A new measure of internalized HIV-related stigma was added to the Women's Interagency HIV Study in 2013. Participants' first assessment of stigma and their assessments of other variables were used as baseline measures, and outcomes measured 2 years later. A measure of depression symptoms was assessed 18 months after the baseline. The results suggest that a higher internalized HIV-related stigma at the first assessment was a predictor of lower odds of optimal ART adherence at the two-year mark. Mediation analysis also indicated significant indirect effect on ART adherence through depression symptoms at the 18-month mark.

Uptake and virological outcomes of single- versus multi-tablet antiretroviral regimens among treatment-naive youth in the HIV Research Network.
Researchers studied the impact of single-tablet regiments (STRs) versus multi-tablet regimens (MTRs) in the treatment of HIV with youth with HIV (YHIV) in the HIV Research Network between the ages of 13 and 24. The use of STRs was associated with greater compliance in their antiretroviral regiments and better outcomes over an 8-year period (2006-2014) at 18 US HIV clinical sites.

Internal working models of attachment relationships and hiv outcomes among women living with HIV.
Treatment adherence and viral suppression remain suboptimal in the United States. Attachment insecurity may be one understudied factor affecting adherence. In this study, the investigators examined cross-sectional associations of the 2 attachment-related insecurity dimensions with antiretroviral treatment (ART) adherence, HIV visit adherence, CD4 cell counts, and viral suppression. The authors suggest that interventions may need to focus on the vulnerable subpopulation with high attachment insecurity and incorporate existing strategies that address insecure attachment models.

Feasibility and acceptability of real-time antiretroviral adherence monitoring among depressed women living with HIV in the deep south of the US.
The purpose of this study was to present feasibility and acceptability data on the use of an electronic adherence monitor (EAM) among African American women in remote areas of the Southeastern United States with HIV and co-occurring depression. EAM and self-reported antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence was monitored among 25 participants recruited at four HIV clinics in Alabama. Intra-class correlation showed a low degree of concordance between EAM and self-reported adherence. 83% of data collected via EAM was transmitted in real-time; the remainder was delayed though technological failures or was lost entirely. The authors conclude that EAM monitoring is feasible in a rural US setting but that technological difficulties may impede the device's usefulness for just-in-time adherence interventions.

Associations between Medicare Part D and out-of-pocket spending, HIV viral load, adherence, and ADAP use in dual eligibles with HIV.
This study estimated the effect of Medicare part D on self-reported out-of-pocket prescription drug spending, AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) use, antiretroviral adherence, and HIV viral load (VL) suppression among dual eligibles with HIV. It concluded that part D was associated with increased out-of-pocket spending, although the increased spending did not seem to compromise antiretroviral therapy adherence or HIV VL suppression.

Association between perceived discrimination in healthcare settings and HIV medication adherence: mediating psychosocial mechanisms.
There is insufficient research on the impact of perceived discrimination in healthcare settings on adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART), particularly among women living with HIV, and even less is known about psychosocial mechanisms that may mediate this association. Cross-sectional analyses were conducted in a sample of diverse women living with HIV enrolled in the Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS), a multi-center cohort study to investigate these issues.

Framing mechanisms linking HIV-related stigma, adherence to treatment, and health outcomes.
The authors present a conceptual framework that highlights how unique dimensions of individual-level HIV-related stigma (perceived community stigma, experienced stigma, internalized stigma, and anticipated stigma) might differently affect the health of those living with HIV. Their conceptual framework posits that, in the context of intersectional and structural stigmas, individual-level dimensions of HIV-related stigma operate through interpersonal factors, mental health, psychological resources, and biological stress pathways.

Pilot evaluation of a brief intervention to improve nicotine patch adherence among smokers living with HIV/AIDS.
This article presents results from a pilot evaluation of a brief smoking cessation treatment to improve adherence to the nicotine patch among Latino smokers living with HIV/AIDS. Although this small pilot was conducted to estimate effect sizes and was not powered to detect group differences, results were promising and suggested that adding a 10-min module focused on nicotine patch adherence to a standard 5 As protocol could increase abstinence rates.

Criminal justice involvement history is associated with better HIV care continuum metrics among a population-based sample of young black MSM.
This study examined how history of criminal justice involvement (CJI) is related to HIV care continuum metrics among young black MSM 16-29 years of age. It found that having one CJI experience and detention for only 1 day was associated with better retention in care compared with no or more frequent CJI. Those with a previous history of CJI were more successful in achieving most HIV care continuum metrics.

What time is it? Adherence to antiretroviral therapy in Ethiopia.
This study assessed adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) among people living with HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia and explored the sociocultural context in which they relate to their regimen requirements. Its findings indicate that study participants are highly adherent to dose but less adherent to dose schedule. Strict dose time instructions were reported as stressful and unrealistic.

Retention in care among HIV-infected adults in Ethiopia, 2005- 2011: a mixed-methods study.
This study assessed how well patients stay in care and explored factors associated with retention in the context of an initial antiretroviral therapy (ART) rollout at a teaching hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The researchers found that fear of stigma, care dissatisfaction, use of holy water, and economic constraints discouraged retention in care, while social support and restored health and functional ability motivated retention.

Clinician empathy is associated with differences in patient-clinician communication behaviors and higher medication self-efficacy in HIV care.
The researchers examined associations of clinicians' empathy with patient-clinician communication behaviors, patients' rating of care, and medication self-efficacy. They found that clinicians in the highest vs. lowest empathy tertile engaged in less explicitly emotional talk, while clinicians in the middle vs. lowest engaged in more positive talk, more questions, and more patient activating talk, while patients of higher empathy clinicians disclosed more psychosocial and biomedical information. They further found that patients of clinicians in both the middle and highest (vs. lowest) empathy tertiles had greater odds of reporting highest medication self-efficacy.
