Abstract

Historically, there has been concern that conflict may exacerbate the HIV epidemic. We conducted a systematic review to examine HIV prevalence in conflict-affected populations compared to district-level or countrywide HIV prevalence. Following PRISMA guidelines, studies presenting original HIV prevalence data published between 2005 and 2020 were drawn from PubMed, Scopus, and Embase. Data extracted included HIV prevalence, methods, dates, location, and population type. Studies were assessed for bias. Ten met criteria for data extraction; all focused on populations in sub-Saharan African. Most of the studies reported on mixed population settings while one was in a refugee camp. Six reported HIV prevalence higher than district- or country-level prevalence, while four reported lower HIV prevalence. Seven demonstrated moderate-to-high likelihood of bias in sampling, and five used methods limiting their comparability with local HIV prevalence. The relationship between armed conflict and HIV prevalence remains difficult to evaluate and likely varies by socioeconomic indicators.

评估2005-2020年受冲突影响人群中艾滋病毒流行情况的系统综述。

从历史上看，人们一直担心冲突可能加剧艾滋病毒的流行。我们进行了一项系统综述，将受冲突影响人群中的艾滋病毒流行情况与地区或全国的艾滋病毒流行情况进行比较。遵循PRISMA的指导方针，发表2005年至2020年间的原始HIV流行数据的研究来自PubMed、Scopus和Embase。提取的数据包括艾滋病毒流行率、方法、日期、地点和人群类型。对研究进行偏倚评估。10项符合数据提取标准;都集中在撒哈拉以南非洲的人口上。大多数研究报告的是混合人口环境，其中一项研究是在难民营进行的。6个报告的艾滋病毒流行率高于地区或国家一级的流行率，4个报告的艾滋病毒流行率较低。其中7项研究表明，在抽样中存在中度至高度的偏倚可能性，5项研究使用的方法限制了它们与当地艾滋病毒流行率的可比性。武装冲突与艾滋病毒流行之间的关系仍然难以评估，而且可能因社会经济指标而异。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
