Brief Report: Internalized Poverty-Related Stigma and Interpersonal Violence Among Women Living With HIV in the United States.
J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr
February 2025
School of Public Health, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL.
Background: Interpersonal violence (IPV) affects half of women living with HIV (WLHIV) in the United States and has important consequences for mental health and HIV outcomes. Although different types of stigmas (eg, HIV- or sexual identity-related) are associated with increased risk of IPV, the relationship between poverty-related stigma and IPV is unclear, even though poverty frequently co-occurs with IPV.
Methods: Data from up to 4 annual visits (2016-2020) were collected from 374 WLHIV enrolled in a substudy of the Women's Interagency HIV Study (now known as Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study/Women's Interagency HIV Study Combined Cohort Study) at 4 sites across the United States.

J Family Med Prim Care
December 2024
Center for Health Policy Studies, School of Public Health, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China.
Background: Previous studies have found that people with low participation in social activities and living alone were prone to have risky sexual behaviors, while people with high participation in social activities were less prone to have risky sexual behaviors. Based on the above assumptions, we conducted an analysis on elderly population's social networks and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) risky behaviors in China. In the survey study, considering the sensitivity of sexual behavior, HIV risk behavior of the elderly population is more difficult to measure, so the intermediate variable of HIV perceptions was used instead of the sexual behavioral variable.

Department of Anesthesia, College of Health Sciences, Debre Tabor University, PO. Box: 272, Debre Tabor, Ethiopia.
Postoperative delirium has the potential to impact individuals of all age groups, with a significant emphasis on the elderly population. Its presence leads to an increase in surgical morbidity and mortality rates, as well as a notable prolongation of hospital stays. However, there is a lack of research regarding the prevalence, risk factors, and implications of postoperative delirium in developing nations like Ethiopia, which affects both patients and healthcare institutions.
