    Abstract Little is known about the effect of travel-related factors, such as mode of transportation, on retention in PrEP care, or PrEP persistence. We used data from the 2020 American Men's Internet Survey and conducted multilevel logistic regression to estimate the association between mode of transportation used for healthcare access and PrEP persistence among urban gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) in the U.S. MSM using public transportation were less likely to report PrEP persistence (aOR: 0.51; 95% CI: 0.28-0.95) than MSM using private transportation. There were no significant associations between PrEP persistence and using active transportation (aOR: 0.67; 95% CI: 0.35-1.29) or multimodal transportation (aOR: 0.85; 95% CI: 0.51-1.43) compared to using private transportation. Transportation-related interventions and policies are needed to address structural barriers to accessing PrEP services and to improve PrEP persistence in urban areas.

    Abstract The world is experiencing the expansive spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in a global pandemic that is placing strain on health care, economic, and social systems. Commitment to implementing proven public health strategies will require bold public health leadership and courageous acts by politicians. Developing new innovative communication, mitigation, and health care approaches, particularly in the era of social media, is also clearly warranted. We believe that the best public health evidence must inform activities in three priority areas to stop this pandemic: (1) coordinated and consistent stay-at-home orders across multiple jurisdictions, including potential nationwide mandates; (2) rapid scale-up of SARS-CoV-2 testing; and (3) improved health care capacity to respond. This editorial outlines those areas, the rationale behind them, and the call for innovation and engagement of bold public health leadership to empower courageous political action to reduce the number of deaths during this pandemic.

    Abstract Background: Causes of death and their trends among veterans with HIV (VWH) are different than those in the general population with HIV, but this has not been fully described. The objective was to understand the trends in, and risk factors for, all-cause and cause-specific mortality across eras of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) among VWH.
    Setting: The HIV Atlanta VA Cohort Study includes all VWH who ever sought care at the Atlanta VA Medical Center.
    Methods: Age-adjusted all-cause and cause-specific mortality rates were calculated annually and compared between pre-cART (1982-1996), early-cART (1997-2006), and late-cART (2007-2016) eras. Trends were assessed using Kaplan-Meier curves, cumulative incidence functions, and joinpoint regression models. Risk factors were identified by Cox proportional hazards models.
    Results: Of the 4674 VWH in the HIV Atlanta VA Cohort Study, 1752 died; of whom, 1399 (79.9%), 301 (17.2%), and 52 (3.0%) were diagnosed with HIV in the pre-cART, early-cART, and late-cART eras, respectively. Significant increases were observed in rates of all-cause, AIDS-related, and non-AIDS-related mortality in the pre-cART era, followed by declines in the early-cART and late-cART eras. All-cause, AIDS-related, and non-AIDS-related mortality rates plummeted by 65%, 81%, and 45%, respectively, from the pre-cART to late-cART eras. However, VWH continue to die at higher rates due to AIDS-related infections, non-AIDS-related malignancies, respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, and renal failure than those in the general population with HIV.
    Conclusions: In older populations with HIV, it is important that providers not only monitor for and treat diseases associated with aging but also intervene and address lifestyle risk factors.

    Abstract Purpose: The US HIV epidemic has become a public health issue that increasingly affects men who have sex with men (MSM), including those residing in nonurban areas. Increasing access to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in nonurban areas will prevent HIV acquisition and could address the growing HIV epidemic. No studies have quantified the associations between PrEP access and PrEP use among nonurban MSM.
    Methods: Using 2020 PrEP Locator data and American Men's Internet Survey data, we conducted multilevel log-binomial regression to examine the association between area-level geographic accessibility of PrEP-providing clinics and individual-level PrEP use among MSM residing in nonurban areas in the United States.
    Findings: Of 4,792 PrEP-eligible nonurban MSM, 20.1% resided in a PrEP desert (defined as more than a 30-minute drive to access PrEP), and 15.2% used PrEP in the past 12 months. In adjusted models, suburban MSM residing in PrEP deserts were less likely to use PrEP in the past year (adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR] = 0.35; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.15, 0.80) than suburban MSM not residing in PrEP deserts, and other nonurban MSM residing in PrEP deserts were less likely to use PrEP in the past year (aPR = 0.75; 95% CI = 0.60, 0.95) than other nonurban MSM not residing in PrEP deserts.
    Conclusions: Structural interventions designed to decrease barriers to PrEP access that are unique to nonurban areas in the United States are needed to address the growing HIV epidemic in these communities.

    Abstract Purpose: Actinic keratoses (AK) diagnosis, billing, and pharmacy codes have not been validated among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), preventing use in epidemiologic and clinical research. We aimed to calculate the positive predictive value (PPV) of AK diagnosis codes, procedural codes for destruction of pre-malignant lesions, and pharmacy codes for topical 5-fluorouracil.
    Methods: Patients diagnosed with HIV within the Infectious Disease clinic at the Atlanta Veterans Affairs Medical Center from 1/1/2002 to 8/5/2017 were eligible. Patients were included if they had any of the following: encounters with a diagnosis for AK (International Classification of Diseases [ICD]-9: 702.0; ICD-10: L57.0), procedural codes for destruction of premalignant lesions (Current Procedural Terminology [CPT]: 17000, 17003, and 17004), and prescriptions for topical 5-fluorouracil. PPV and binomial 95% confidence intervals were calculated.
    Results: PPV was 91.9% (89.1-94.7) for 369 encounters with an AK diagnosis. For procedural codes, PPV was 52.6% (48.1-57.2) for 454 encounters with destruction of 1 pre-malignant lesion, 63.7% (58.4-68.9) for 322 encounters with destruction of 2-14 lesions, and 57.7% (38.7-76.7) for 26 encounters with destruction of 15+ lesions. PPV was 72.9% (63.5-82.4) for 85 encounters with a prescription of topical 5-fluorouracil.
    Conclusion: AK diagnosis codes are appropriate to use in epidemiologic and health policy research among people living with HIV and may be more reliable than destruction of pre-malignant lesion CPT codes.

    Abstract Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted pediatric health care in the United States, and this disruption layered on existing barriers to health care. We sought to characterize disparities in unmet pediatric health care needs during this period.
    Methods: We analyzed data from Wave 1 (October through November 2020) and Wave 2 (March through May 2021) of the COVID Experiences Survey, a national longitudinal survey delivered online or via telephone to parents of children aged 5 through 12 years using a probability-based sample representative of the US household population. We examined 3 indicators of unmet pediatric health care needs as outcomes: forgone care and forgone well-child visits during fall 2020 through spring 2021, and no well-child visit in the past year as of spring 2021. Multivariate models examined relationships of child-, parent-, household-, and county-level characteristics with these indicators, adjusting for child's age, sex, and race/ethnicity.
    Results: On the basis of parent report, 16.3% of children aged 5 through 12 years had forgone care, 10.9% had forgone well-child visits, and 30.1% had no well-child visit in the past year. Adjusted analyses identified disparities in indicators of pediatric health care access by characteristics at the level of the child (eg, race/ethnicity, existing health conditions, mode of school instruction), parent (eg, childcare challenges), household (eg, income), and county (eg, urban-rural classification, availability of primary care physicians). Both child and parent experiences of racism were also associated with specific indicators of unmet health care needs.
    Conclusions: Our findings highlight the need for continued research examining unmet health care needs and for continued efforts to optimize the clinical experience to be culturally inclusive.

    Abstract Purpose: Residing in areas with little spatial accessibility to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) providers, or PrEP deserts, contributes to low PrEP uptake. This study examines and characterizes the spatial distribution of PrEP accessibility in the United States over time.
    Methods: We conducted spatial network analyses and geographic mapping to explore the spatiotemporal distribution of persistent PrEP deserts (census tracts with suboptimal accessibility in 2016 and 2020), new PrEP deserts (tracts with suboptimal accessibility in 2020 but not 2016), new PrEP oases (tracts with suboptimal accessibility in 2016 but not 2020), and persistent PrEP oases (tracts with optimal accessibility in 2016 and 2020). We used polytomous logistic regression to determine area-level factors associated with these four spatiotemporal PrEP accessibility types.
    Results: There was a reduction of 52.8% in the prevalence of 30-minute PrEP deserts from 2016 (28,055 tracts) to 2020 (13,240 tracts) and an increase of 33.5% in 30-minute PrEP oases from 2016 (44,259 tracts) to 2020 (59,074 tracts). Of all tracts, 12,487 (17.3%) were persistent PrEP deserts, 753 (1.0%) were new PrEP deserts, 15,568 (21.5%) were new PrEP oases, and 43,506 (60.1%) were persistent PrEP oases. Overall, persistent PrEP oases were more likely to be of higher socioeconomic status, racially/ethnically diverse, located in urban areas, and located in the Northeast compared with other spatiotemporal PrEP accessibility types, with variation by urbanicity and U.S. Census region.
    Conclusions: Efforts to improve PrEP accessibility should be especially focused in disadvantaged communities in nonurban areas and the South, Midwest, and West. Monitoring changes in the spatial accessibility of PrEP over time and determining the factors associated with such changes can help to evaluate progress made towards improving PrEP accessibility.

    Abstract There are inequities in HIV outcomes among Black gay, bisexual, and other sexual minority men who have sex with men (GBMSM) compared to GBMSM overall, including access to transportation to HIV care. It is unclear if the relationship between transportation and clinical outcomes extends to viral load. We assessed the relationship between transportation dependence to an HIV provider and undetectable viral load among Black and White GBMSM in Atlanta. We collected transportation and viral load information from GBMSM with HIV from 2016-2017 (
