Gunawan, O. Suwarsa, Catherina Jessica Sutantoyo","doi":"10.5114/HIVAR.2021.105050","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5114/HIVAR.2021.105050","url":null,"abstract":"Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease are more likely to develop anogenital warts (AGW) compared to HIV-negative people, and are susceptible to treatment failures and illness recurrences. Glycyrrhizinic acid (GA) is extracted from licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra). Previous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of GA 0.1% spray as a treatment for external AGW, but its role in immunocompromised patients has not been explored. The current study reported two cases of HIV-positive patients with AGW who experienced partial remission using GA 0.1% spray. The treatment was applied by the patients three times a day for eight weeks. Treatment evaluation were made by using visual inspection and dermoscopy image analysis. After twelve weeks, clinical observation revealed poor improvement with only slight reduction in number and size of the lesions; although dermoscopy findings revealed an evolution from finger-like to knob-like pattern. GA facilitate the development of T helper lymphocytes in cell-mediated immune response, whereas in HIV, there are a decreased number of T helper lymphocytes. This may explain poor therapeutic response in our patient. Dermoscope is useful in the evaluation of treatment progress, especially when invisible to unaided eye.

However, fertility desire has given little attention, and the uptake of prevention of mother-to-child transmission services is low in Ethiopia, particularly in Afar region. Thus, this study aimed to assess fertility desire and associated factors among human immune virus-positive women attending ART clinics. Material and methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted with 402 HIV-positive women attending anti-retroviral therapy clinics in selected hospitals of Afar region. Logistic regression analysis was employed to identify factors associated with fertility desire. Statistical association was measured, with a p-value < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: The prevalence of fertility desire was 63.9% (95% CI: 59.1-68.8%). Young ages women, i.e., 15-24 years (AOR = 11.98; 95% CI: 4.04-35.5) and 25-34 years (AOR = 2.93, 95% CI: 1.46-5.86), who did not have living children (AOR = 5.1; 95% CI: 1.31-20.2) and women with 1 or 2 children alive (AOR = 2.7; 95% CI: 1.39-5.27), and disclosed sero-status (AOR = 5.89; 95% CI: 2.33-14.9) were associated with increased odds of fertility desire. However, contraceptives use was associated with decreased odds of fertility desire (AOR = 0.11; 95% CI: 0.05-0.22). Conclusions: In this study, six in ten study subjects had fertility desires. Young age, not having living child, having 1 or 2 children alive, disclosing sero-status to partner, and contraceptive use were predictors for fertility desire.

Sexual health literacy refers to a range of sexual health literacy that encompasses a variety of areas, including gender and sexual development, puberty, pregnancy, contraceptive methods, unwanted pregnancy, and sexually transmitted diseases. The evaluation of sexual health literacy needs an appropriate tool. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate psychometric properties of an instrument to measure sexual health literacy related to AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases among young Iranian men between the ages of 19 to 29 years old. Material and methods: This study was carried in out two phases in Tehran during 2018-2019. In the first phase, a questionnaire was developed by item generation through an expert panel and literature review. In the second part, an assessment of psychometric properties of questionnaire, including face and content validity, was performed. Reliability of questionnaire was assessed using internal consistency (Cronbach’s a) and interclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results: The content validity indices (CVI and CVR) for all items were 0.89 and 0.87, respectively. The designed tool showed a high internal consistency reliability, with Cronbach’s a ranging from 0.79 to 0.87 and ICC ranging from 0.79 to 0.87. Conclusions: The psychometric assessment of the 30-item questionnaire indicates desirable validity and reliability. This questionnaire is recommended for assessing the level of sexual health literacy of young men in future studies.

Children with HIV may experience major physiological problems. This study explored the experience of Ghanaian adolescents with HIV. Material and methods: Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. 12 adolescents living with HIV between the ages of 14 to 19 years were recruited. Since a physiological problem is not without some level of emotional consequence, the most appropriate method to explore these physiological and emotional dimensions of treatment and diseases are through a qualitative research method. Results: Two main themes emerged from this study: ‘Rhapsody of physiological burden’ and ‘Bittersweet experience of adjusting to antiretroviral therapy (ART)’. Participants reported experiencing challenges, including bouts of headaches, itchy skin rashes, general body weakness, vomiting, appetite loss, diarrhea, and many more. Adolescents reported varying accounts concerning ART. Some patients described positive image of treatment, while others reported traumatic ordeal regarding side effects of the treatment to the extent that some stopped taking their medications. Conclusions: Policies aimed at supporting adolescents living with HIV needs to consider their unique set of physiological challenges to help improve health outcomes of the youngsters. Nurses should inform patients about results as well as possible side effects of ART prior initiation of the regimen, and also explain adverse events, which should be reported to hospital. concepts,","PeriodicalId":53943,"journal":{"name":"HIV & AIDS Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91334668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yusuf, Ajibola Abdulrahamon Ishola","doi":"10.5114/HIVAR.2021.109624","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5114/HIVAR.2021.109624","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) counselling and testing (HCT) is recognized as a critical component of HIV prevention. However, what is of serious concern is the low uptake of HCT among teachers due to issues related to psychosocial factors, whose role has not been examined in the extant literature. This study examined the relationship between psychosocial factors (stigma, perceived barriers, knowledge, belief) and attitude towards HIV counselling and testing among secondary school teachers in Ibadan, Oyo State. Material and methods: The study had a cross-sectional design. Participants (350) were sampled from selected secondary schools through stratified sampling technique. The mean age was 45.68 (SD = 7.72), 57% were female with 11.23 (SD = 3.42) years of experience. A self-report questionnaire containing a standardized instrument was used in the collection of data. Data were analysed using descriptive, multiple regression analysis and Pearson product moment correlation at p ≤ 0.05. Results: The findings revealed that anticipated stigma ( r = –0.39), belief ( r = 0.23), level of knowledge ( r = 0.30), and perceived barriers ( r = –0.46) correlated significantly with attitude towards HIV counselling and testing among teachers. Perceived barriers (β = –0.43, t = –5.56, p = 0.00), anticipated stigma (β = –0.27, t = 4.93, p = 0.00), knowledge (β = 0.26, t = 4.38, p = 0.00) and belief (β = 0.20, t = 2.69, p = 0.00) predicted attitude towards HIV counselling and testing. Conclusions: This study confirms that anticipated stigma, knowledge and perceived barriers to HIV testing influenced attitude towards HCT among teachers. The Health Ministry was advised to provide community-based counselling outreach programmes for teachers, especially those in rural areas. widow betrothal, sexual molestation, unprotected sex and li-quor ingestion have been implicated in HIV testing services [2, 12]. Given this gap, this study intends to determine how anticipated stigma, negative perception, cultural belief and level of knowledge correlate with HIV counselling and testing and among secondary school teachers. The broad aim of this research is to determine the correlates of HIV counselling and testing behaviour among secondary school tutors in Ibadan city. Specifically the study investigates the follow-ing objectives: 1) to investigate if the independent variables (anticipated stigma, religious belief, level of knowledge and perception or barrier) will be significant correlates of the dependent variable (attitude towards HCT among teachers); 2) to examine the contribution of anticipated stigma, religious belief, level of knowledge and perception or barrier to the prediction of attitude towards HIV counselling and testing among teachers. syndrome","PeriodicalId":53943,"journal":{"name":"HIV & AIDS Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71091232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
