BACKGROUND: HIV is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality, with 39.0 million people living with HIV worldwide, 25.6 million of whom reside in the African region. Highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) has improved survival and quality of life, yet some patients develop viral non-suppression. Dolutegravir (DTG) has been recommended since 2018 as a first-line treatment option in low- and middle-income countries owing to its effectiveness, low cost, and tolerability, but some studies have reported virological non-suppression with its use...

INTRODUCTION: Hypertension significantly increases the risk of heart, brain, and renal diseases and is one of the leading causes of death and disease worldwide. It is a major comorbidity among HIV-positive people. There have been limited attempts to detect hypertension and its related variables in patients receiving antiretroviral treatment, notably in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The current study intended to examine the incidence of hypertension and related variables among adults aged 18 and over living with HIV on ART at selected public referral hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia...

BACKGROUND: Men who have sex with men (MSM) is one main type of high-risk activities facilitating HIV-1 transmission in Sichuan province. Previous works on HIV-1 incidence and prevalence among MSM only concentrated before 2018, the situation after that is unknown. In addition, the distribution of hot-spots related to current HIV-1 epidemic is also rarely known among MSM in Sichuan. OBJECTIVE: To update trends of HIV-1 prevalence and incidence and to visualize hot-spots of ongoing transmission in Sichuan province during surveillance period among MSM between 2018 and 2022...

BACKGROUND: Antiretroviral Treatment (ART) reduces morbidity and mortality in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, clients loss to follow-up (LTFU) from the treatment poses a paramount problem to the public, healthcare, and patient outcome. Thus, this study identified determinants of loss to follow-up to ART among adult clients in West Wollega hospitals, Oromia, Ethiopia, in 2021. METHODS: An unmatched case-control study was conducted and a systematic random sampling technique was used...

BACKGROUND: Recent advances in care and treatment have turned HIV into a "chronic but manageable condition". Despite this, some people living with HIV (PLHIV) continue to suffer from stigma and discrimination in accessing health care services. This study examined the experience of stigma and discrimination and access to health care services among PLHIV in Akwa Ibom State. METHODS: The Center for Clinical Care and Clinical Research (CCCRN), implementing a USAID-funded Integrated Child Health and Social Services Award (ICHSSA 1) project, conducted a community-based cross-sectional survey in 12 randomly selected local government areas in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria...

BACKGROUND: Oral mucosal lesions in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients, posing a concern for healthcare professionals, impact their oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). This study aimed to evaluate the association between oral mucosal lesions and OHRQoL as measured by the validated Indonesian version of the oral health impact profile-14 questionnaire (OHIP-14) among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Central Referral Hospital in West Java, Indonesia...

INTRODUCTION: The success rate of antiretroviral therapy (ART) was sufficiently high globally that by 2030, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection would no longer become a significant health issue. The evaluation of the success rate of ART in Indonesia is still fairly low, with estimates that 6.1% of the total population living with HIV. This is affected by treatment failure and limitations of viral load (VL) testing. We investigated the risk factors for failure of VL suppression in HIV patients on ART...

BACKGROUND: The frequency of sexual dysfunctions reported by HIV/AIDS patients is significantly higher than that of their peers. Sexual dysfunction and its predictors may result in increased viral loads, worsening HIV infection, and infectivity. To mitigate its consequences, appropriate evaluation and intervention are required. METHODS: A cross-sectional study design was conducted among 336 HIV/AIDS-positive individuals at one hospital in southwest Ethiopia. To assess sexual dysfunctions, a tool called the Changes in Sexual Functioning Questionnaire (CSFQ-14) was used...

BACKGROUND: The primary cause of HIV transmission is a failure to deliver proper HIV/AIDS information, which is a major public health issue in low- and middle-income nations. While global health coverage continues, there is still little understanding of HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia, and there is a data gap. As a result, the aim of this study was to investigate the factors that influence comprehensive HIV/AIDS knowledge among HIV testing and counselling (HTC) service users in Gondar, northwest Ethiopia...

REVIEW
Jenna E Januszka, Emily N Drwiega, Melissa E Badowski
Bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) is a single-tablet antiretroviral therapy regimen. B/F/TAF has become a popular treatment choice because of its small tablet size, high barrier to resistance, favorable tolerability, and limited drug-drug interaction profile. Continued research on B/F/TAF has revealed additional potential for this regimen. This review presents recent literature supporting the use of B/F/TAF as an option for consolidating therapy and maintaining virologic suppression in individuals despite M184V/I mutations...

PURPOSE: We evaluated the effect of multi-month dispensing (MMD) on viral suppression among newly enrolled adolescents and adults with HIV in 11 northern Nigerian states. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of longitudinal data from 75 health facilities. We abstracted electronic medical records for patients ≥10 years, initiated on ART April 1, 2019 - June 30, 2021, and with a 6- or 12-month viral load (VL) result. We categorized participants in the MMD group to see if they received antiretroviral treatment (ART) for ≥84 days at any visit within 6 months of ART initiation...

INTRODUCTION: The pediatric HIV treatment coverage in Cameroon remains low at 35%. The high loss to follow up (LTFU) remains a major factor to this dismal performance which is related to the lack of implementation of effective interventions to improve retention in care. This study assessed the impact of foods support (FS) on LTFU among children and adolescents in a rural district hospital in eastern Cameroon. METHODS: This was a retro-prospective study conducted in Abong Mbang District Hospital (ADH) in the East Region of Cameroon...
