Comparing men who have sex with men and transgender women who use Grindr, other similar social and sexual networking apps, or no social and sexual networking apps: implications for recruitment and health promotion.
This paper seeks to identify differences in men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women who use the Grindr app and those who use other similar apps. It found significant differences in the sociodemographic characteristics by app use, including age, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, and outness. After adjusting for the sociodemographic characteristics associated with app use, there were significant differences in HIV risk and substance use between the groups.

Severe food insecurity is associated with overweight and increased body fat among people living with HIV in the Dominican Republic.
To explore the association between food insecurity and overweight and obesity among PLHIV in the Dominican Republic, the researchers conducted a cross-sectional study of 160 HIV-infected adults between March-December 2012. After controlling for age, gender, income, having children at home, education, and anti-retroviral therapy status, severe food insecurity was associated with increased body mass index (BMI) and body fat.

Factors contributing to food insecurity among women living with HIV in the Dominican Republic: a qualitative study.
The researchers examined factors contributing to food insecurity among women living with HIV (WLHIV) in the Dominican Republic (DR). Respondents identified economic instability as the primary driver of food insecurity, precipitated by enacted stigma in the labor and social domains. Women described experiences of HIV-related labor discrimination in formal and informal sectors.

Stigma, activism, and well-being among people living with HIV.
The researchers examined associations between experiences of HIV stigma and HIV activism, and test whether HIV activists benefit from greater well-being than non-activists. Their results suggest that HIV activists reported greater social network integration, greater social well-being, greater engagement in active coping with discrimination, and greater meaning in life than non-activists.
