Article Abstract
Introduction: Online community-based exercise (CBE) is a rehabilitation strategy that can promote health outcomes among people living with HIV. We aimed to describe experiences implementing a community-based exercise (CBE) intervention with adults living with HIV.
Methods: We conducted a longitudinal qualitative descriptive study involving interviews with adults living with HIV and persons implementing an online tele-coaching CBE intervention. Leveraging community-based research principles, the intervention aimed to improve physical activity engagement and health outcomes through online individualized coaching, online YMCA resources, and wearable fitness technology. We analyzed interviews with adults living with HIV and representatives involved in CBE implementation at baseline (month 0), end of intervention (6 months), and end of follow-up phase (12 months).
Results: Thirteen adults living with HIV and eight representatives involved in CBE implementation participated in the study (43 interviews total). Key themes included the "four Cs": Cost, Care, Comfort, and Convenience that encapsulated participants' perceptions of financial barriers, need for holistic healthcare integration, importance of stigma-free and emotionally supportive environments, and accessibility of health interventions.
Discussion: Results underscore the critical role of inclusive and adaptable exercise programs in addressing the complex needs of individuals with chronic, episodic conditions such as HIV, and the value of participatory, community-driven methodologies in designing effective and equitable health interventions.
Clinical Trial Registration: NCT05006391.

Objectives: Canadian guidelines recommend HIV testing for individuals being evaluated for syphilis. Our objective was to examine three aspects of HIV testing (ie, if an HIV test occurred, the timing of the HIV test in relation to the syphilis test and the proportion with a positive HIV test result) among syphilis tests between 2017 and 2022 from individuals with no evidence of a previous HIV diagnosis.
Design And Setting: This study is a retrospective analysis of comprehensive laboratory testing data from Ontario's provincial public health laboratory.

Background: People living with HIV (PLWH) have a higher risk of herpes zoster (HZ) reactivation and postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) compared to general population. Our study aims to evaluate prevalence of HZ reactivation and PHN after vaccination with recombinant vaccine (RZV) in a population living with HIV, and to identify risk factors associated with recurrence.
Methods: We conducted an observational study, enrolling all PLWH ≥18 years old vaccinated with RZV from January 2022 to December 2023.

Retention on antiretroviral therapy (ART) is critical for achieving viral load suppression (VLS) among people living with HIV (PLHIV). Retention remains challenging in high-prevalence settings like Malawi. Short messaging service (SMS) interventions, particularly hybrid two-way texting (2wT), show promise in improving ART retention.
