The association between lifetime polytobacco use and intention to quit among HIV-positive cigarette smokers.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This secondary analysis aims to describe, over time, the relationship between HIV disease progression and intention to quit cigarette smoking among current monocigarette users with and without a lifetime history of polytobacco use.

Methods

Participants completed a baseline assessment at the time of HIV care initiation and four follow-up assessments (3, 6, 9, and 12-months). Assessments included biochemically verified smoking status and audio computer-assisted self-interviews assessing psychosocial, substance use, and clinical variables known to influence smoking behaviors. Using linear and generalized linear fixed-effects models, we modeled the covariance structure for the repeated outcome measures (intention to quit and 7-day point prevalence smoking abstinence)
