Cigarette Smoking and Cessation-Related Interactions With Health Care Providers in the Context of Living With HIV: Focus Group Study Findings.
Abstract
Smoking is disproportionately prevalent among people living with HIV (PLWH) compared
with the general population. We conducted five focus groups (n = 24) using semi-structured
interview guides to explore perceptions and experiences of smoking and cessation-related
interactions with health care providers among smokers with HIV. Major themes included
a limited understanding of how smoking affects illness among PLWH and minimal discussion
about cessation with providers. Findings highlight the need to educate smokers with
HIV about the known impacts of smoking on illness among PLWH and to facilitate greater
discussion of cessation between providers and smokers with HIV. Prior experiences
with smoking cessation medications and desire for additional information regarding
these medications should be considered when implementing medication regimens in research
and clinical settings.
