In the U.S., Black women living with HIV/AIDS (WLHA) are affected disproportionately by interpersonal violence, which often co-occurs with adverse mental health and/or substance use, and exacerbates existing poor HIV care outcomes. Peer navigation has been successful in improving HIV care; however, HIV clinics often lack resources for sustainability and may not account for socio-structural barriers unique to Black WLHA. To address this gap, we developed , a culturally-tailored, trauma-informed WebApp for Black WLHA affected by interpersonal violence to improve HIV care outcomes. Using focus group data from nine Black WLHA and peer navigators, we developed . Core components include: virtual peer navigation to facilitate skill-building to cope with barriers and navigate care; social networking platform for peer support; educational and self-care tips; GPS-enabled resource locator for HIV care and support service agencies; and medication self-monitoring/reminder system. If efficacious, will shift the HIV prevention and care paradigm for Black WLHA.
在美国,感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的黑人女性(BLWH)受到人际暴力的不成比例影响,人际暴力常常与不良心理健康和/或药物使用同时发生,并加剧现有的艾滋病毒护理不良后果。同伴导航已成功改善了艾滋病毒护理;然而,艾滋病毒诊所通常缺乏可持续性的资源,并且可能无法解决 BLWH 特有的社会结构障碍。为了解决这一差距,我们开发了一种针对黑人 WLHA 受人际暴力影响的文化适应性、创伤知情的 WebApp,以改善艾滋病毒护理结果。使用来自九名黑人 WLHA 和同伴导航员的焦点小组数据,我们开发了 。核心组件包括:虚拟同伴导航,以帮助建立应对障碍和导航护理的技能;用于同伴支持的社交网络平台;教育和自我保健技巧;带有 GPS 的资源定位器,用于艾滋病毒护理和支持服务机构;以及药物自我监测/提醒系统。如果有效, 将改变黑人 WLHA 的艾滋病毒预防和护理模式。
