This study explored and described the experiences of informal female caregivers providing home-based care to people living with HIV (PLWH) in the Dar es Salaam region, Tanzania. The research design was qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory, and was based on the interpretive paradigm. Study participants provided care at home for family members who were living with HIV at World Health Organization–defined HIV clinical stages III or IV. Semistructured interviews were conducted with eight participants. Transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis. Themes that emerged were the costs of caring, HIV-related stigma and ...

Predictors of Complementary/Alternative Medicine Use and Intensity of Use Among Men With HIV Infection From Two Geographic Areas in the United StatesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This descriptive, cross-sectional study explored the factors associated with frequency and intensity of complementary/alternative medicine (CAM) use in 301 HIV-infected men from southern California (n=75) and northern Florida/southern Georgia (n=226). Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify which demographic, biomedical, psychosocial, and health behavior variables (risk and health-promoting behaviors) were predictors of CAM use and intensity of use. The majority (69%) of participants reported CAM use. The types of CAM most frequently cited were dietary supplements (71%) and spiritual therapies (66%). Odds of...

Positive Self-Management Program for Women Living With HIV: A Descriptive AnalysisEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
There is an increasing need for community-based interventions to help women living with HIV better manage their symptoms and self-care. The investigators conducted a small descriptive pilot study to assess whether women living with HIV needed and wanted a community-based symptom management workshop, such as the Positive Self-Management Program (PSMP). A total of 7 HIV-infected adult women participated in five, 2-hour semi-structured focus groups and completed a brief survey on demographic information, HIV medications, HIV symptoms, and self-efficacy. Quantitative and qualitative data are presented. This pilot study suggest...

Male Self-Disclosure of HIV Infection to Sex Partners: A Hawaii-Based SampleEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This exploratory study used a cross-sectional survey design with self-report to (a) describe serostatus disclosure to recent sex partners (SPs) among a multiethnic group of HIV-infected men from Hawaii, (b) explore factors influencing disclosure, and (c) examine relationships between disclosure and condom use. Respondents recalled their sexual experiences with up to three most recent SPs in the 3 months before survey administration. The men (N = 93) reported a disclosure rate of approximately 50% with 228 SPs. Disclosure was significantly influenced by SP serostatus, relationship status, self-efficacy for disclosure decisi...

This pilot study (a) examined the stages of change (SOC) for condom use with primary and casual partners among rural heterosexual African American stimulant users, (b) identified gender differences in variables associated with SOC, and (c) assessed the association of SOC with decisional balance and self-efficacy. A total of 72 participants completed the study. SOC with a primary partner were much lower than with a casual partner, indicating more consistent condom use with casual partners. Significant gender differences existed in decisional balance for condom use for both primary (p = .02) and casual partners (p =.03), wit...

Why Don't Health Care Workers Screen All Pregnant Women in My Community for HIV?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I am a nurse practitioner who cares for HIV-infected adults at an urban hospital-based infectious diseases clinic. Last year, I began caring for two mothers who had recently been diagnosed with advanced HIV and AIDS who had multiple serious health problems. These two women did not know each other, but I was struck by the similarity of their stories. Both were young mothers with daughters under the age of 2, both were married, both lived in the same suburban area, both had received prenatal care throughout their entire pregnancies, both had delivered their babies at large tertiary care hospitals, both had limited English pr...

It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory.—W. Edwards Deming Change is not a word that inspires a warm, fuzzy feeling. Personally, I have always approached it as something to be borne, bravely, but with a lot of complaining. Hearing the quote above in a presentation at the recent International Academy of Nursing Editors conference, however, made me rethink my position. Change may be anxiety producing, difficult, and time consuming, but it is also thought provoking, stimulating, and a path to the future. Change indicates that we are living.

Improving the Health of Transgender People: Transgender Medical Education in ArizonaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
For many HIV health care providers and health professions students, there is often a fundamental knowledge deficit and misunderstanding of who transgender people are and what their health care needs may be. The word transgender refers to individuals with gender identity that differs from their biological (or anatomic) sex (). Biological sex is most commonly assigned at birth based upon visualization of the external genitalia. In contrast, gender is personally and culturally constructed based upon an individual's internal sense of being feminine or masculine (). (Source: Journal of the Association of Nurses in AIDS Care)

Preliminary evidence has suggested that some transgender men who have sex with nontransgender men (“trans MSM”) may be at risk for HIV and sexually transmitted infections and that their prevention needs are not being met. Quantitative (n =45) and qualitative (n =15) interviews explored risk behaviors, protective strategies, and perceptions of the impact of transgender identity on sexual decision making among trans MSM. A majority of the participants reported inconsistent condom use during receptive vaginal and anal sex with nontrans male partners; HIV prevalence was 2.2%. Risk factors included barriers to sexual negoti...

This article examines how a community-based clinic that offers free or low-cost care addresses the health care needs of TW. A total of 20 TW who attended a health care clinic dedicated to community-based health were interviewed regarding best practices for HIV prevention and primary care. In-depth interviews were conducted, transcribed, coded, and analyzed. Factors reported to be effective for HIV prevention and primary care included (a) access to health care in settings not dedicated to serving transgender and/or gay communities, (b) a friendly atmosphere and staff sensitivity, and (c) holistic care including hormone ther...

Male-to-female transgender individuals who engage in sex work constitute a group at high risk for HIV infection in the United States. This mixed-methods formative study examined sexual risk among preoperative transgender male-to-female sex workers (N =11) in Boston. More than one third of the participants were HIV-infected and reported a history of sexually transmitted diseases. Participants had a mean of 36 (SD =72) transactional male sex partners in the past 12 months, and a majority reported at least one episode of unprotected anal sex. Qualitative themes included (a) sexual risk, (b) motivations for engaging in sex wor...

For people who are transgender, transsexual, or transitioned (trans), access to primary, emergency, and transition-related health care is often problematic. Results from Phase I of the Trans PULSE Project, a community-based research project in Ontario, Canada, are presented. Based on qualitative data from focus groups with 85 trans community members, a theoretical framework describing how erasure functions to impact experiences interacting with the health care system was developed. Two key sites of erasure were identified: informational erasure and institutional erasure. How these processes work in a mutually reinforcing m...

Selenium Supplementation in HIV-Infected Patients: Is There Any Potential Clinical Benefit?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In HIV-infected patients undergoing antiretroviral therapy, the question of whether selenium supplementation has any therapeutic benefit is still open. With recent popular coverage of this issue, many patients have considered using selenium. Clinicians have a duty to ensure that the recommendations they make to their patients are evidence based. The literature search reported here showed that evidence to support standard selenium supplementation in patients with HIV is both limited and insufficient. To definitively answer this clinical question, the overall effect of selenium supplementation would need to be evaluated in ...

More orphans living in family-based care reported such knowledge, and trauma symptoms were significantly higher in children who reported such knowledge. Multivariate analysis showed that such knowledge w...

The number of people living with HIV (PLWH) has increased in all Asian regions, including Iran. Discovering that one has any serious illness can be a traumatic experience, but coming to terms with an HIV diagnosis is made more difficult by social constructs and negative reactions to the infection. This interpretative phenomenological study was carried out to understand and describe the lived experience of HIV-infected Iranians during the period immediately following an HIV diagnosis. Audiotaped in-depth semistructured interviews with 13 participants were used to collect data, which were analyzed with critical hermeneutics....
