Abstract

Despite advances in our understanding of HIV transmission and optimal treatment of people with HIV infection, stigmatizing attitudes are a significant barrier to HIV prevention and treatment. Several studies demonstrate that stigma directed towards people with HIV infection presents an obstacle to getting tested for HIV, obtaining optimal HIV care, and engaging in safe sex practices. We review the literature on individual and societal factors associated with HIV-associated stigma and propose a framework for intervention design.

Implementing emergency research requiring exception from informed consent, community consultation, and public disclosure.

Conducting emergency research in the out-of-hospital and emergency department setting is a challenge because of the inability of patients to provide informed consent in many situations. Federal guidelines allowing research under an exception from informed consent for emergency research have been established (21 CRF 50.24). Community consultation and public disclosure, 2 required components of obtaining this exception, are seen by many as a barrier to resuscitation research. This article will provide a brief overview of the history of the exception from informed consent for emergency research and summarize our methods recently used to successfully complete community consultation and public disclosure for a trial evaluating 2 devices used during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a large metropolitan area.
