Leveraging differentiated HIV service delivery to expand tuberculosis preventive treatment: a call to action
Rabkin M , Howard AA , Ehrenkranz P , Fernandez LG , Preko P , Singh V , Tomlinson HL , El-Sadr WM . Int J Tuberc Lung Dis 2020 24 (2) 165-169 Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV), and sub-Saharan Africa has a particularly heavy burden of HIV-associated TB. Although effective TB preventive treatment (TPT) has been available for decades and shorter regimens are newly available in some settings, TPT coverage among PLHIV is suboptimal, leading to preventable illness and death. In 2018, the United Nations High-Level Meeting on Ending Tuberculosis called for ambitious new targets for TPT coverage among PLHIV and many countries in sub-Saharan Africa have redoubled their efforts to take TPT to scale. Importantly, however, this push to expand TPT among PLHIV is taking place in the context of a changing HIV treatment delivery landscape. Countries in sub-Saharan Africa are at the forefront of innovative changes in HIV program design, including a shift towards less-intensive differentiated service delivery (DSD) models for stable patients doing well on antiretroviral therapy. Understanding the opportunities and challenges that DSD presents for TB diagnosis, prevention and linkage to care among PLHIV will be critical to success. |
Health care autonomy of women living with HIV
Redfield RR , Modi S , Moore CA , Delaney A , Honein MA , Tomlinson HL . N Engl J Med 2019 381 (9) 798-800 In sub-Saharan Africa, more than 60% of all adults living with HIV in 2018 were women, according to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS (https://aidsinfo.unaids.org). |
Evidence-based HIV/STD prevention intervention for black men who have sex with men
Herbst JH , Painter TM , Tomlinson HL , Alvarez ME . MMWR Suppl 2014 63 (1) 21-7 This report summarizes published findings of a community-based organization in New York City that evaluated and demonstrated the efficacy of the Many Men, Many Voices (3MV) human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/sexually transmitted disease (STD) prevention intervention in reducing sexual risk behaviors and increasing protective behaviors among black men who have sex with men (MSM). The intervention addressed social determinants of health (e.g., stigma, discrimination, and homophobia) that can influence the health and well-being of black MSM at high risk for HIV infection. This report also highlights efforts by CDC to disseminate this evidence-based behavioral intervention throughout the United States. CDC's Office of Minority Health and Health Equity selected the intervention analysis and discussion to provide an example of a program that might be effective for reducing HIV infection- and STD-related disparities in the United States. 3MV uses small group education and interaction to increase knowledge and change attitudes and behaviors related to HIV/STD risk among black MSM. Since its dissemination by CDC in 2004, 3MV has been used in many settings, including health department- and community-based organization programs. The 3MV intervention is an important component of a comprehensive HIV and STD prevention portfolio for at-risk black MSM. As CDC continues to support HIV prevention programming consistent with the National HIV/AIDS Strategy and its high-impact HIV prevention approach, 3MV will remain an important tool for addressing the needs of black MSM at high risk for HIV infection and other STDs. |
