People Living With HIV in St. Petersburg, Russia: Gender and Exposure Group Differences in HIV Care Engagement, Psychosocial Health, Substance Use, and Transmission Risk Behavior
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study examined psychosocial and health needs of persons living with HIV (PLWH) in Russia. The study combined baseline datasets from two social network samples of PLWH in St. Petersburg (N = 872). Samples were recruited between 2014 and 2018 by enrolling a PLWH seed who was either out-of-care or treatment nonadherent as well as network members surrounding each seed, assessing each participant's HIV care, transmission risk, substance use, and mental health characteristics. Almost one-quarter of participants said they were never offered antiretroviral therapy (ART), and—among those offered ART—one-quarter refused or discontinued therapy and 45% were <95% ART-adherent. Almost half of participants had detectable viral load, and many reported continued condomless intercourse with potentially nonconcordant serostatus partners or needle sharing. Over 46% of participants had elevated scores on measures of depression, hopelessness, state anxiety, or poor social support. Study findings illustrate unmet needs of PLWH in Russia.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
