Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utilizing longitudinal research, the authors have identified the mediational nature of the process of how traumatic events in childhood lead to increased HIV risk as adults. The book approaches the outcomes of childhood maltreatment systematically; demonstrates for the first time the need to examine the mediators of abuse, the indirect paths from childhood experiences to adult behaviors; offers useful measures of HIV risk based on risky behaviors; presents a feminist analysis of cultural norms that support HIV risk in women. The research presented clarifies present conceptualizations of interpersonal power, and gender's impact on the process and negotiation of, and desire to engage in, safer sexual practices. Knowing the importance of mediators will enable counselors and therapists to intervene on these variables at an early stage, thereby helping to reduce the incidence of subsequent risky behavior.

Book Synopsis Trauma Resolution for Women Survivors of Childhood Abuse Living with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) by : Vanessa Bonacina Grieco
Download or read book Trauma Resolution for Women Survivors of Childhood Abuse Living with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) written by Vanessa Bonacina Grieco and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women account for approximately 27% of new HIV infections (Aziz & Smith, 2011), and they may be at highest risk of contracting the disease during adolescence and young adulthood because of risky sexual practices. Having been sexually victimized during early development may increase their risk of contracting HIV, of developing psychiatric problems, and having a more severe course of the disease. There are few empirically supported treatments that address the emotional impact of sexual abuse on women living with HIV. Also, there appears to be a limited number of treatments that include trauma-focused and coping skills interventions that can help reduce HIV risk behavior in women with a history of trauma while simultaneously addressing trauma symptoms. Therefore, developing a specific community based intervention focused on coping skills, psychoeducation, and trauma resolution may significantly reduce psychological distress, improve medication adherence, and reduce sexual risk behaviors. The present program is designed for women who have a history of childhood sexual abuse and are living with HIV. The program will modify the Seeking Safety (SS) treatment components to address the specific needs of HIV infected women with a past history of abuse in order to resolve past traumas, improve medication adherence, prevent relapse to substance abuse for those with a substance abuse history, reduce transmission of HIV, and help these women learn to live a meaningful life with HIV/AIDS.
Book Synopsis Children and HIV/AIDS by : Gary Anderson
Download or read book Children and HIV/AIDS written by Gary Anderson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In December 1982, the Centers for Disease Control received the first reports of cases of children with HIV/AIDS. Since that time, the child welfare system, as well as other human service organizations, have been coping with and responding to the crises of children and families living with HIV/AIDS, including the considerable number of children affected by AIDS through the illness of their parents, siblings, or other family members. This volume is intended as a resource for personnel within the child welfare field serving children and families whose lives are touched by HIV and AIDS. The contributors add insight to and fuel the discussion of the fight against AIDS. They provide tools to help better serve the children and adolescents that the current epidemic so tragically affects. Chapters and contributors include: "Factors Associated with Parents' Decision to Disclose Their HIV Diagnosis to Their Children" by Lori S. Wiener, Haven B. Battles, and Nancy E. Heilman; "Custody Planning with HIV-Affected Families" by Sally Mason; "Correlates and Distribution of HIV Risk Behaviors Among Homeless Youths in New York City" by Michael C. Clatts, W. Rees Davis, J. L. Sotheran, and Aylin Attillasoy; and "HIV Prevention for Youths in Independent Living Programs" by Wendy F. Auslander, Vered Slonim-Nevo, Diane Elze, and Michael Sherraden. Originally published as a special issue of 'Child Welfare', this volume examines lessons learned from a variety of perspectives and settings, and identifies a number of continuing challenges facing the field. 'Children and HIV/AIDS' is an invaluable compendium that should be read by social workers and health specialists and all those affected by the epidemic.

Book Synopsis Assessing Relationships Between Adverse Childhood Experiences and Viral Suppression Among Persons Living with HIV in Washington State by : Rachel Sanders

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been linked to a variety of negative health outcomes in adulthood and have been recognized as a hurdle to participating in HIV care. However, few studies have examined the cumulative impact that different types of childhood trauma have on HIV care engagement and HIV outcomes. To address this gap, this analysis sought to characterize the relationship between various types of childhood trauma, including abuse and household dysfunction trauma, and viral suppression among persons living with HIV. This cross-sectional study utilized surveillance data from the 2018-2019 Medical Monitoring Project (MMP) cycle in Washington State. We conducted single-variable and multi-variable logistic regression analyses to quantify the impact that number of ACEs and the type of ACEs experienced has on viral suppression. We also used Poisson regression analyses to assess the relationship between ACEs and health related quality of life (HRQOL) among persons living with HIV. Among 328 participants, 86.8% of all individuals reported they had experienced at least 1 ACE and 39.5% reported they had experienced 4 or more. Adjusting for demographic characteristics, we did not find evidence of significant differences in odds of achieving cross-sectional viral suppression among individuals who had experienced 1, 2, 3, or 4+ ACEs, as compared to individuals who did not experience any ACEs (1: Adjusted OR= 0.65, 95% CI= 0.13, 3.25 | 2: Adjusted OR= 1.49, 95% CI= 0.20, 10.89 | 3: Adjusted OR= 0.14, 95% CI= 0.03, 0.69 | 4+: Adjusted OR= 0.49, 95% CI= 0.12, 2.09). A higher number of ACEs was significantly associated with poorer self-reported HRQOL (1: Adjusted RR= 1.53, 95% CI= 0.69, 3.38 | 2: Adjusted RR= 2.87, 95% CI= 1.35, 6.09 | 3: Adjusted RR= 2.85, 95% CI= 1.35, 6.02 | 4+: Adjusted RR= 3.19, 95% CI= 1.59, 6.40). We found that the prevalence of adverse childhood experiences was high among our study population. We did not find significant evidence of associations between adverse childhood experiences and viral suppression. However, we did find that a higher number of self-reported ACEs was significantly associated with poorer HRQOL. These results are important considerations in establishing trauma-informed systems for improving quality of life, health outcomes, and care engagement among persons living with HIV.

Download or read book Trauma and Sexuality written by James Chu and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2003-06-16 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examine the effects of childhood trauma on sexual orientation and behavior! This pioneering book examines the effects of childhood trauma—including sexual abuse—on sexual orientation and behavior. It will help you expand your sensitivity and expertise in a critically important way: by providing a nonjudgmental look at the profound effects of long-standing early abuse on the sexual identities, orientation, behaviors, and fantasies of the people who come to you for help. From the editors: “In the modern era of trauma studies, clinicians and researchers have been treating and investigating the effects of trauma—including the sexual abuse of children—for more than two decades. And yet, we know far more about sequelae such as post-traumatic and dissociative symptoms, disrupted attachment, addictions, eating disorders, and somatoform symptoms than we do about the effects of trauma on sexual behavior. With the exception of a relatively few articles in the scientific literature (many of which were written by the authors in this collection), little has been published about the sexual effects of sexual abuse and other childhood maltreatment. “Why have we neglected this obvious and important area? Perhaps the reason can be simply attributed to our Victorian legacy of reluctance to openly discuss sexuality. Or, perhaps the reason may be related to some of the expressions of sexuality that are sometimes seen in persons with childhood trauma. At times, expressions such as sexual addiction, homosexuality, sadomasochistic behavior, and prostitution have been classified as deviant. This may have contributed to our reluctance to discuss them openly. Or, perhaps the reason is that we collectively wish to deny the effects of abuse on one of the core aspects of ourselves—to deny that early traumatic events forever change the sexual lives of persons in such an intimate and profound way.” The co

This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infection with human immunodeficiency virus remains a major public health concern in the United States. Although improvements in treatment have increased longevity and improved quality of life, infection with HIV presents a significant burden on the American health care system, and remains a leading cause of death in certain age groups. A number of at-risk groups and risk factors for HIV infection have been identified, with individuals belonging to more than one at-risk group experiencing cumulatively increased risk of infection. Men who have sex with men (MSM) account for the majority of new diagnoses, with MSM sharing risk factors such as being African American or injecting drugs being particularly at risk. Exposure to childhood trauma is another identified risk factor for infection, and MSM have been shown to report such exposure more frequently than non-MSM. This theoretically makes MSM who have experienced childhood trauma an especially high-risk group. This study explored attitudes toward HIV among anonymous individuals targeted on local gay-themed lifestyle websites. Perceived risk, severity, and threat of HIV were examined, as well as self-efficacy to avoid infection, number of insertive partners for anal intercourse, and testing habits. In addition, exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) was evaluated. Attitudes toward HIV did not correlate significantly with exposure to trauma in this sample. However, exposure to trauma was associated with an increased risk of insertive sexual partners, specifically exposure to emotional abuse and emotional neglect. Although other studies have found a similar increase in risky sexual behavior among individuals who have experienced childhood trauma, few have examined this as a possible long-term consequence to emotional abuse specifically. Further research should examine this possible association so that individuals who report emotional trauma during childhood can be identified and preventative measures can be initiated.

Book Synopsis HIV, Substance Abuse, and Communication Disorders in Children by : R. Dennis Shelby
Download or read book HIV, Substance Abuse, and Communication Disorders in Children written by R. Dennis Shelby and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Make sure every child gets a chance to be heard HIV, Substance Abuse and Communication Disorders in Children examines the language problems of young children from special populations. Essential as a textbook for graduate and upper-level undergraduate studies and as a reference resource, this unique book presents up-to-date research and compelling case studies that illustrate how prenatal exposure to drugs, alcohol, and HIV can affect a child in utero and continue to handicap its development after birth. Each chapter includes discussion threads and review questions to promote critical thinking and clinical problem-solving skills in the classroom. HIV, Substance Abuse and Communication Disorders in Children looks at the negative impact a mother’s lifestyle practices can have on her developing child with a nod toward the significant prevalence of HIV and substance abuse in today’s society. Some estimates place the number of infants born after prenatal exposure to illicit drugs as three-quarters of a million—every year. When alcohol is added, the figure rises to more than 1 million. This powerful book focuses specifically on the serious consequences of alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, and crack cocaine abuse, including poor language development and speech delays, limited vocabulary, the inability to make their needs known, poor articulation, the inability to follow commands, limited expressive language skills, and the inability to understand the real meaning of words and generalize them. And of the nearly 5,000 children in the United States living with AIDS, almost all will struggle with speech production and communication disorders as the disease affects their brain, spinal cord, and central nervous system. HIV, Substance Abuse and Communication Disorders in Children examines: the effect of drugs on the brain pregnancy and drug use trends common drugs of abuse Kosakoff’s syndrome fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) among Native Americans and African Americans neurologic sequellae speech and language intervention rehabilitation considerations treatment and family counseling and much more HIV, Substance Abuse and Communication Disorders in Children is essential for graduate and undergraduate students working with language disorders in special populations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the face of life-threatening news, how does our view of life change—and what do we do it transform it? Remaking a Life uses the HIV/AIDS epidemic as a lens to understand how women generate radical improvements in their social well being in the face of social stigma and economic disadvantage. Drawing on interviews with nationally recognized AIDS activists as well as over one hundred Chicago-based women living with HIV/AIDS, Celeste Watkins-Hayes takes readers on an uplifting journey through women’s transformative projects, a multidimensional process in which women shift their approach to their physical, social, economic, and political survival, thereby changing their viewpoint of “dying from” AIDS to “living with” it. With an eye towards improving the lives of women, Remaking a Life provides techniques to encourage private, nonprofit, and government agencies to successfully collaborate, and shares policy ideas with the hope of alleviating the injuries of inequality faced by those living with HIV/AIDS everyday.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER NPR'S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR INDIE BESTSELLER GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD WINNER: BEST MEMOIR & AUTOBIOGRAPHY A laugh-and-cry-out-loud memoir from the beloved star of Netflix’s Queer Eye, Jonathan Van Ness Who gave Jonathan Van Ness permission to be the radiant human he is today? No one, honey. The truth is, it hasn’t always been gorgeous for this beacon of positivity and joy. Before he stole our hearts as the grooming and self-care expert on Netflix’s hit show Queer Eye, Jonathan was growing up in a small Midwestern town that didn’t understand why he was so…over the top. From choreographed carpet figure skating routines to the unavoidable fact that he was Just. So. Gay., Jonathan was an easy target and endured years of judgement, ridicule and trauma—yet none of it crushed his uniquely effervescent spirit. Over the Top uncovers the pain and passion it took to end up becoming the model of self-love and acceptance that Jonathan is today. In this revelatory, raw, and rambunctious memoir, Jonathan shares never-before-told secrets and reveals sides of himself that the public has never seen. JVN fans may think they know the man behind the stiletto heels, the crop tops, and the iconic sayings, but there’s much more to him than meets the Queer Eye. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll come away knowing that no matter how broken or lost you may be, you’re a Kelly Clarkson song, you’re strong, and you’ve got this.
Book Synopsis Older Adults with HIV by : Mark G. Brennan
Download or read book Older Adults with HIV written by Mark G. Brennan and published by Nova Science Pub Incorporated. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first decade of the HIV/AIDS epidemic was defined by young gay men dying and activism. The second decade saw people of colour and women account for the majority of those with HIV, as well as the development of effective drugs and the hope that HIV could become treatable or even curable. In this third decade, HIV has evolved into a chronic manageable disease. Few would have ever thought that there would be large numbers of older adults living with HIV in our lifetimes. Developing a strategy to best sustain the health and quality of life for the ageing population living with HIV requires a rigorous assessment of this group's characteristics and needs. Research on Older Adults with HIV (ROAH), conducted by the AIDS Community Research Initiative of America (ACRIA), is the first step to begin to establish a valid comprehensive knowledge-base of the unique characteristics and needs of this growing population.
