Predictors for lower quality of life in the HAART era among HIV-infected men
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to identify the predictors of lower Quality of Life (QOL) and to help assess important and alterable factors for possible interventions to maximize patients' QOL among highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Many variables could serve as predictors for QOL and maximizing QOL requires targeted and comprehensive interventions for modifiable risk factors, with combined efforts from clinicians, HIV-infected individuals, and the community.

The relationship between methamphetamine and popper use and risk of HIV seroconversion in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study
Article Abstract:
Longitudinal data from the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study is used to examine the association between methamphetamine use and HIV seroconversion for men who have sex with men (MSM). The examination of the mechanisms underlying the synergism of drug use and sexual risk behaviors on rates of HIV seroconversion is required for developing new-targeted HIV prevention strategies for nonmonogamous drug-using MSM.
