Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nursing Reports intends to publish a Special Issue on the topic of “Intersectionality and Social Determinants of HIV-Related Conditions” in 2025. You are invited to submit a proposal for a manuscript for this Special Issue. HIV incidence remains highest in diverse and underrepresented populations. An important but understudied area is how intersectionality and social determinants of health impact HIV-related conditions in populations with multiple marginalized identities (e.g., race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation).

This Special Issue welcomes manuscripts that utilize intersectionality frameworks and/or social determinants of health frameworks to examine HIV-related conditions. We welcome rigorous systematic or scoping reviews, behavioral interventions, observational studies, and others that assess HIV-related heart disease and diabetes, as well as studies examining the role of nutrition, sleep, tobacco use, substance use, or sedentism in the occurrence of HIV-related conditions. Interdisciplinary research studies are encouraged.
