Engagement in the HIV care continuum among people living with HIV is essential to prevent ongoing transmission. Although there is evidence for the need for comprehensive approaches (e.g., peer navigation) to improve the HIV care continuum, there is limited knowledge of how the peer navigation model might work to improve the HIV care continuum in low resource settings among Latinx key populations (e.g., persons who inject drugs, female sex workers, men who have sex with men, and transgender women). Therefore, this article aims to qualitatively assess members of key populations' acceptability of (Healthy Connections), a community-based peer navigation intervention implemented in Tijuana, Mexico. This analysis draws upon the postintervention survey data from 34 participants and data from qualitative interviews with 10 participants. Participants found the intervention to be acceptable and discussed the ways in which peer navigators were influential in educating participants about HIV, antiretroviral therapy (ART), linking participants to existing HIV care and ancillary services in Tijuana, and in providing emotional and instrumental support to facilitate engagement in HIV treatment and ART adherence. The intervention emphasized the use of peer navigators who had a deep understanding of the sociostructural barriers (e.g., substance use, homelessness) that HIV-positive key populations face in Tijuana. Findings from this study may inform programs with highly vulnerable populations in similar settings.
参与艾滋病毒感染者的艾滋病毒护理连续体对于预防持续传播至关重要。尽管有证据表明需要采取综合方法(例如同伴导航)来改善艾滋病毒护理连续体,但对于同伴导航模式如何在拉丁裔关键人群(例如注射毒品者、性工作者、男男性接触者和跨性别女性)的资源有限环境中改善艾滋病毒护理连续体的知识有限。因此,本文旨在定性评估关键人群对在墨西哥蒂华纳实施的基于社区的同伴导航干预措施(Healthy Connections)的可接受性。该分析利用了 34 名参与者的干预后调查数据和 10 名参与者的定性访谈数据。参与者认为该干预措施是可以接受的,并讨论了同伴导航员在教育参与者了解艾滋病毒、抗逆转录病毒疗法 (ART)、将参与者与蒂华纳现有的艾滋病毒护理和辅助服务联系起来,以及提供情感和工具支持以促进参与艾滋病毒治疗和 ART 依从性方面的影响力。该干预措施强调使用对艾滋病毒阳性关键人群在蒂华纳面临的社会结构障碍(例如药物使用、无家可归)有深刻理解的同伴导航员。本研究的结果可能为类似环境中高度脆弱人群的项目提供信息。
