The purpose of this study was to determine a relationship between health control and perception of illness with psychosocial adjustment in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/AIDS-infected women. Material and methods: This descriptive analytical study was performed on 240 female patients in 2019 from Iranian research center for HIV/AIDS at the Tehran Imam Khomeini Hospital. Eligible individuals were included in the study, and information were collected using three questionnaires, including psychosocial adjustment to illness, health locus of control, illness perception, and a demographic checklist. Data were analyzed using SPSS 16 software. Results: According to the results of multiple linear regression test, the predictive variables determined 13.7% of criterion variables. Among the predictors, illness perception was the most positive predictor ( B = 0.220) and the number of sexual partners was the most negative predictor ( B = 0.148). In other words, by increasing a score to the illness perception, psychosocial adjustment increased to 13.9%, and with one person added to the number of sexual partners, 14.8% of psychosocial adjustment decreased. Conclusions: According to the findings, illness perception is positively associated with psychosocial adjustment of patients. Illness perception can affect motivation, which leads to health promoting behaviors. On the other hand, the increase of sexual partners number has a negative relationship with the psychosocial adjustment of patients and confirms the importance and role of spouse support in promoting health.","PeriodicalId":53943,"journal":{"name":"HIV & AIDS Review","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77833930","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}

The study aimed to determine the perceived level of discrimination toward people with HIV/AIDS among the adult people in Sarawak, Malaysia and also to determine the factors associated with it. Material and methods: This was a community-based cross-sectional study conducted in rural areas of Sarawak. A total of 900 adults aged 18 years and above were selected by gender-stratified multistage cluster sampling technique. Data were collected by face-to-face interview using interviewer-guided questionnaires. Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis was performed using SPSS version 22.0 to identify the factors associated with HIV/AIDS-related discrimination towards PLWH. A p -value less than 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results: The mean (SD) age for male and female respondents was 41.57 (13.45) and 38.99 (13.09) years respectively. The composite mean score for total discrimination was higher among female (mean = 2.66, SD = 0.6) than male (mean = 2.47, SD = 0.6) respondents. Domain-wise discrimination of HIV/AIDS found that isolation, verbal discrimination, loss of resources, loss of services and total discrimination were significantly high among the females ( p < 0.05) compared to males. Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis revealed that ethnicity, religion, knowledge on HIV, an acquaintance of HIV and household income appeared to be potential predictors for discrimination towards peoples living with HIV/AIDS ( p < 0.05).

In Indonesia, Bali’s FSWs have a high-rate of HIV infection. This study investigates the predictors of HIV testing among indirect female sex workers (IFSWs) in Denpasar, Bali. Material and methods: The researchers conducted an analysis of secondary data from a survey performed among IFSWs in Denpasar Bali in 2017. There were 200 IFSWs participating in the survey using random cluster sampling. The dependent variables examined in this study was HIV testing, while the independent variables included: 1) respondent’s demographics (age, education level, marital status, work location, and length of work), 2) peer support, and 3) access to information about HIV prevention. The association between independent and dependent variables were analyzed using multiple logistic regression models. Results: The results showed that 70.0% of IFSWs in Denpasar have accessed HIV testing in the last 6 months and received their test results. Also, 56.5% of the study’s respondents reported a lack of peer support in relation to HIV/AIDS, and 63.5% reported having adequate access to information about HIV testing. The logistic multiple regression results revealed that two factors were significant predictors of HIV testing among IFSWs, such as adequate access to information about HIV testing and prevention (OR = 2.21; 95% CI: 1.15-4.30), and peer support (OR = 2.29; 95% CI: 1.21-4.34).

It accounts for an estimated 15% of acquired immune deficiency syndrome-related deaths globally. As recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) 2018 guidelines, this invasive disease is preventable by routine cryptococcal antigen (CrAg) screening of all advanced HIV patients followed by pre-emptive antifungal therapy. An estimate of disease prevalence in antiretroviral treatment (ART)-naïve HIV-positive adult Indian population is essential to include this in routine screening strategy. We estimated CrAg prevalence as a guiding resource in a public health approach. Material and methods: The study design was longitudinal. ART naïve HIV-seropositive patients with CD4 count ≤ 100 cells/μl, attending ART center at the School of Tropical Medicine, Kolkata, India were screened for CrAg using both latex agglutination and lateral flow assay kits. A total of 390 subjects were enrolled into the study, and evaluated for association of CrAg with age, sex, CD4, presence of opportunistic infections, WHO HIV staging, and clinical symptoms. Results: Of 390 subjects tested, the median CD4 count was 42 cells/μl in CrAg-positive and 46 in CrAg-negative patients. Median (IQR) age of all participants was 40 (range, 34-46) years. CrAg positivity was 12.56%, comparatively higher in those with CD4 ≤ 50 cells/μl. Asymptomatic patients had CrAg positivity of 4.6%. Statistically significant association was noted with male sex ( p = 0.03), triad symptoms of fever, headache, vomiting ( p = 0.013), and altered mental status ( p = 0.033). Conclusions: This study aims to estimate CrAg prevalence in India to justify the need for routine screening and pre-emptive treatment in advanced HIV infection. Incorporating this screening would definitely reduce the risk of cryptococcus meningitis-induced mortality and morbidity, as recommended by the WHO guidelines.","PeriodicalId":53943,"journal":{"name":"HIV & AIDS Review","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89167952","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}

TB-immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (TB-IRIS) mainly refers to an excessive immune response among HIV-infected patients. In HIV-infected patients, IRIS occurs after initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART), irrespective of increased CD4 count and effective suppression of HIV viremia; IRIS may occur at any stage in the progression of immunodeficiency and manifests with weakened immune system. IRIS is associated with various inflammatory processes as the outcome of immunological reaction against a variety of opportunistic infections (OIs). Currently, there is no reliable biological marker available for diagnosis of TB-IRIS. In accordance with current clinical case definition, deterioration of clinical and radiological symptoms of pre-existing TB infection in HIV patients is called “paradoxical TB-IRIS”. The appearance of a previously undiagnosed or new TB infection during ART treatment is called “unmasking TB-IRIS”. IRIS is a challenging complication for researchers and medical practitioners, as the incidence of IRIS is between 3-40% in patients initiated on ART. The variation in incidence probably reflects the differences in case definitions, patients’ population studied, and individual resource-limited settings. The immune pathogenesis of IRIS is poorly understood, and epidemiology partially defined. The complication for clinicians remains challenging in terms of diagnosis and treatment as well as patients’ suffering, even though, the mortality is typically low.

Orbital apex syndrome rarely occurs as a complication of herpes zoster ophthalmicus in young human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive men. A 20-year-old, recently diagnosed HIV-positive man, presented with vesicular skin rashes over right periorbital and forehead area, associated with right eye redness. He was treated as herpetic zoster ophthalmicus with oral antiviral (acyclovir). Three days later, he developed right eye ptosis, reduced visual acuity, anisocoria, and total ophthalmoplegia. An orbit magnetic resonance imaging showed swelling of all rectus muscles of right eye with right optic nerve perineural enhancement. Diagnosis of right eye herpes zoster ophthalmicus with orbital apex syndrome was established, and intravenous acyclovir was initiated. Systemic antiviral acyclovir continued for up to 10 days. Upon discharge, his ocular features improved; however, his visual impairment persisted. Orbital apex syndrome is a rare complication of herpes zoster ophthalmicus.

We report on the individual, health facility-related, and psychosocial determinants of retention in chronic HIV care among young HIV-infected patients in Mukono Municipality, in Uganda. Material and methods: A cross sectional study included 118 participants, aged 15 to 24 years and health workers, and it was conducted between May and September 2017. Data were obtained using a questionnaire, an abstraction tool, and key informant interviews. Logistic regression analysis was used to establish predictor variables, with a p ≤ 0.05. Results: Slightly half, 53.4% of the HIV patients were retained in care for 24 months. Participants with CD4 cell counts above 500 cells/µl at the initiation of treatment were 3 times more likely to be lost to follow-up (odd, 3 : 1). The availability of peer support services ( p = 0.026), no extra support from parents/ friends ( p = 0.02), stigma and associated blame on others ( p = 0.04) showed statistical correlation to the retention in HIV chronic care. On the other hand, peer support services attendance ( p = 0.091) and attitude of health providers ( p = 0.762) did not show statistical significance in the retention of care of HIV patients. Conclusions: The study reports a low retention in HIV care among people aged 15 to 24 years, and this was positively associated with individual, health facility-related, and psychosocial factors, which require intensive efforts to abate such barriers.","PeriodicalId":53943,"journal":{"name":"HIV & AIDS Review","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91181081","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}
