OBJECTIVE: To compare pregnancy outcomes using self-reported and objective levels of intracellular tenofovir diphosphate (TFV-DP) in pregnant women using preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP). DESIGN: We enrolled pregnant women >15 years without HIV at first antenatal care visit in an observational cohort study to compare pregnancy outcomes by PrEP use. METHODS: Exposure defined as: any PrEP use (TDF/FTC prescription + reported taking PrEP), or objectively-measured TFV-DP in dried blood spots in PrEP-using pregnant women...

INTRODUCTION: We evaluated associations of HIV and antiretroviral therapy (ART) with birth and maternal outcomes at a province-wide-level in the Western Cape, South Africa, in a recent cohort before dolutegravir-based first-line ART implementation. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included pregnant people delivering in 2018-2019 with data in the Western Cape Provincial Health Data Centre which integrates individual-level data on all public sector patients from multiple electronic platforms using unique identifiers...

INTRODUCTION: Differentiated service delivery (DSD) such as multi-month dispensing (MMD) aims to provide client-centered HIV services, while reducing the workload within health facilities. We assessed individual and facility factors associated with receiving >3MMD and switching from ≥3MMD back to <3MMD in Kenya. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of clients eligible for DSD between July 2017 and December 2019. A random sample of clients eligible for DSD was selected from 32 randomly selected facilities located in Nairobi, Kisii, and Migori counties...

OBJECTIVE: People with HIV rarely control viral replication after cessation of antiretroviral therapy (ART). We present a person with HIV with extraordinary post-treatment control (PTC) for over 23 years after temporary ART during acute HIV infection (AHI) leading to a new insight in factors contributing to PTC. DESIGN/METHODS: Viral reservoir was determined by HIV qPCR, Intact Proviral DNA Assay and quantitative viral outgrowth assay. Viral replication kinetics were determined in autologous and donor PBMC...

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)-induced monocyte transcriptional responses differ in people living with HIV (PLWH) who do (RSTR) or do not (LTBI) resist TST/IGRA conversion after exposure. DESIGN: We compared ex vivo Mtb-induced monocyte transcriptional responses in a Ugandan tuberculosis (TB) household contact study of RSTR and LTBI individuals among PLWH. METHODS: Monocytes were isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 19 household contacts of pulmonary TB patients, and their transcriptional profiles were measured with RNA-Seq after a 6-hour infection with Mtb (H37Rv) or media...

BACKGROUND: Preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) significantly reduces HIV infection risk but is dependent on adherence. Available approaches to measuring adherence have limitations related to accuracy, cost, practicality, and timeliness. This study compared the performance of two methods implementable in clinics and research studies (interview and urine point of care [POC] assay) to the gold-standard for measuring recent and longer-term adherence in dried blood spots (DBS). METHODS: Participants were recruited from RADAR, a cohort study of young men who have sex with men, or via online advertisements...

OBJECTIVE: More than one in four adults over 40 with HIV in South Africa are unaware of their status and not receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). HIV self-testing may offer a powerful approach to closing this gap for aging adults. Here, we report the results of a randomized comparative effectiveness trial of three different home-based HIV testing strategies for middle-aged and older adults in rural South Africa. DESIGN: 2,963 individuals in the 'Health and Ageing in Africa: a Longitudinal Study of an INDEPTH Community in South Africa (HAALSI)' cohort study were randomized 1:1:1 to one of three types of home-based and home-delivered HIV testing modalities: (1) rapid testing with counseling; (2) self-testing, and (3) both rapid testing with counselling and self-testing...

OBJECTIVE: Accurate estimation of kidney function is critical among people living with HIV (PLWH) to avoid under-dosing of antiretroviral therapies and ensure timely referral for kidney transplantation. Existing estimation equations for kidney function include race, the appropriateness of which has been debated. Given advancements in understanding of race and the necessity of accuracy in kidney function estimation, this study aimed to examine whether race, or genetic factors, improved prediction of serum creatinine among PLWH...

OBJECTIVES: Targeted universal tuberculosis (TB) testing can improve TB detection among people with HIV. This approach is being scaled up in South Africa through Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra testing for individuals starting antiretroviral therapy and annually thereafter. Clarity is needed on how Universal Xpert testing may affect TB preventive treatment (TPT) provision, and on whether TPT should be delayed until TB is ruled out. DESIGN: State-transition microsimulation. METHODS: We simulated a cohort of South African patients being screened for TB while entering HIV care...

OBJECTIVE: Cryptococcal meningitis (CM) is a leading cause of mortality in people living with HIV (PLHIV). Despite recommendation by the National programme, Cryptococcal Antigen (CrAg) screening in PLHIV with CD4 <200/μL has not been implemented in practice. Therefore, we did a prospective study in government funded Antiretroviral treatment centre to determine the prevalence of asymptomatic cryptococcal antigenemia in PLHIV with CD4 count <200 cells/μL, subclinical cryptococcal meningitis in serum CrAg positive subjects and their outcome...

BACKGROUND: People living with HIV (PLWH) generally have worse ambulatory levels of kidney injury biomarkers and excess risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) compared to persons without HIV. We evaluated whether ambulatory measures of subclinical kidney injury among PLWH are associated with subsequent AKI. METHODS: In the Predictors of Acute Renal Injury Study (PARIS), which enrolled 468 PLWH from April 2016 to August 2019, we measured 10 urine biomarkers of kidney health (albumin, a1m, b2 M, NGAL, IL18, KIM-1, EGF, UMOD, MCP-1, YKL40) at baseline and annually during follow-up...

OBJECTIVE: Combinatorial antiretroviral therapy provided improvement of HIV patients' immune function and a decrease in the incidence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is one of the most common NHL forms affecting HIV+ patients. The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of HIV infection on the prognosis of patients treated for DLBCL in a reference cancer treatment center in Brazil. METHODS: A retrospective case-control study was developed with patients followed-up at the Brazilian National Cancer Institute, in which 243 DLBCL patients (91 HIV+ and 152 HIV-) were enrolled...
