The Deep South is the epicenter of the HIV-epidemic in the United States, with rural AAs bearing the greatest burden. Traditional efforts to improve testing efforts have been largely unsuccessful due to their failure to recognize and leverage the sociopolitical and cultural factors that affect the uptake of HIV-screening interventions at the community level. The purpose of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of the socio-cultural contexts impacting HIV-testing in the rural South, and to assess strategies to increase testing in rural, Southern communities.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study examined the link between methamphetamine use and awareness/interest in event-driven (ED) PrEP among HIV-negative and unknown status cisgender males and transgender individuals.
  • - Results showed that participants who recently used methamphetamine were less aware of ED PrEP but showed increased interest in it after adjusting for demographics and HIV-related behaviors.
  • - The findings suggest the need for targeted efforts to promote PrEP among methamphetamine users to effectively address the HIV epidemic, along with ongoing research to understand their specific needs.

Background: While mental health is an emerging issue in low-income countries, its promotion remains poor, with little context-oriented evidence available. Here we aimed to assess the impact and acceptability/feasibility of a community-based psychodrama intervention involving both adolescents and young adults (AYA) living with HIV (AYALHIV) and without HIV (AYAHIV-).

Methods: We used a mixed-methods approach, where the quantitative part was based on pre/post questionnaires and the qualitative one on content analysis of semi-structured interviews.
