Accuracy of self-reports of HIV viral load status and risk factors for inaccurate reporting of viral suppression among racial/ethnic minority persons living with HIV.
The goal of this study was to assess the relationship between health literacy and self-reported viral load (VL) among racial/ethnic minority people living with HIV (PLWH). A cross-sectional analysis of baseline data was collected from three research projects aimed to improve outcomes in PLWH. Recruitment was done through flyers and social media websites. The investigators found that about half of their participants inaccurately reported their VL and that sexual minority individuals were more likely to inaccurately self-report their VL.

Accessing pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP): perceptions of current and potential prEP users in Birmingham, Alabama.
Limited studies to date assess barriers to and facilitators of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake and utilization using a patient-centered access to care framework, among diverse socio-demographic groups, or in the U.S. Deep South, an area with disproportionate HIV burden. In this study, the investigators examine perceptions of PrEP access in qualitative interviews with 44 current and potential PrEP users in Birmingham, Alabama.
