Assessing youth’s transactional relationships remains the integral part of HIV prevention programs. This study aimed to determine the magnitude and associated factors of self-reported transactional sex engagement among high school students in Debre Markos town, Northwest Ethiopia. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted between 07 February and 13 May, 2015 on 726 girls identified from randomly selected secondary schools. Data were analyzed using bivariate and multivariate logistic regression to identify the predictors of transactional sex. Result: Two hundred sixty-two (37.3%) of the respondents reported having had ever sex at the time of the survey. Out of those sexually active students, 17.6% reported engaging in transactional sex in the previous one year prior to the survey. After controlling for other covariates, while chewing khat and lack of communication about sexual and reproductive health issues were predictors of increased risk for engagement in transactional sex, higher class level, delayed age at first sex, never watching pornographic material, having regular pocket money and parental supervision were found to be protective factors. Conclusion: This study has shown that considerable proportion of students engage in transactional sex and they are influenced by multiple socio-demographic/socio-economic and individual behavior characteristics. Programs and services designed to control HIV/AIDS transmission should aim to focus on addressing the context specific female students’ HIV risk, and sexual entitlement and promoting gender inequity.","PeriodicalId":89166,"journal":{"name":"Journal of AIDS & clinical research","volume":"9 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2155-6113.1000768","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49152201","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}

Primary objectives: To study the prevalence of recurrent TB in patients of HIV/TB coinfection. Secondary objective: 1) To study the clinical profile of recurrent TB cases. 2) To study the factors associated with recurrence of TB in patients of HIV/TB co-infection. Materials and method: This retrospective observational study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Pune, India between November 2014 to August 2016 in which case records of 185 patients with known HIV/TB co-infection were studied for the clinical and immunological status during initial presentation and during recurrence TB. Results: The prevalence of recurrent TB in this study was 34.59% (64 subjects). The average time to recurrence was 34.27 months. Occurrence of disseminated or sputum negative pulmonary TB during initial TB illness was significantly associated with recurrence of TB (RR of 0.325 (0.18-0.58) and RR of 2.45 (1.68-3.57) respectively. The 6-month anti-tuberculosis therapy (ATT) regimen was significantly associated with recurrence of TB as compared to 9 month of ATT (p value<0.001, OR 0.0029 ). Conclusion: Recurrent TB is a significant clinical problem in HIV positive patients. Male sex, sputum negative pulmonary TB or disseminated infection at the first instance of TB, a high Mantoux reading at initial TB presentation (≥ 20 mm) and shorter duration of ATT (6 months versus 9 months) are all significant risk factors for recurrence.","PeriodicalId":89166,"journal":{"name":"Journal of AIDS & clinical research","volume":"9 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2155-6113.1000764","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41629763","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}

This study investigates the association between correct knowledge of HIV transmission, prevention and myth rejection with socio-demographic factors and HIV-related behavioral risk practices in South Africa. Methods: The study used the 2012 South African national HIV prevalence, incidence and behavior survey data based on a multistage cross-sectional design. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to examine correlates of correct HIV knowledge and myth rejection. Results: Of 26,544 sub-sample of youth and adults data (15 years and older) who responded to the HIV knowledge question, only 26.8% reported correct knowing of HIV transmission, prevention and rejection of all myths about HIV. In the final model significant negative predictors of correct HIV knowledge, prevention and myth rejection included residing in rural informal areas (OR=0.68 (95% CI: 0.48- 0.95), p=0.027), and being a harmful alcohol drinker (OR= 0.18 (95% CI: 0.06- 1.29), p=0.001) while sexual debut at 15 years and older (OR=1.8 (95 CI: 1.12- 2.91), p= 0.015) was a significant positive predictor of correct HIV knowledge and myth rejection. Conclusion: The findings confirms that levels of HIV knowledge can either prevent individuals from making informed choices and take appropriate actions aimed at preventing the infection or make people to take precautions to protect themselves. Efforts to promote HIV knowledge, prevention and myth rejection in the general population should be strengthened given the declining HIV knowledge levels in the country.","PeriodicalId":89166,"journal":{"name":"Journal of AIDS & clinical research","volume":" ","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2155-6113.1000761","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46751569","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}

However, the processes shaped by socio-economic factors have been proven to be the main cause of vulnerabilities related to HIV among migrants globally. In spite of the development of effective HIV treatment in the past two decades, there are still many obstacles to delivering the care to different socio-economic and ethnic groups, such as late HIV testing. More knowledge of HIV care providers’ experiences is needed in order to support them in their work and create optimal health care for HIV-positive migrants. \u0000Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of HIV caregivers in providing care to HIV-positive migrants. \u0000Methods: A qualitative exploratory design with focus-group interviews for data collection was chosen. The participants were recruited from three infectious disease clinics in Sweden. Five focus-group interviews were conducted. Each focus group comprised three to five nurses and social workers. \u0000Results: The study revealed that the HIV caregivers experienced that their patients suffered from stigma, selfstigma and social marginalisation, which in turn required more resources and support from them. The socio-economic vulnerability of the migrant patients necessitates particular social support from caregivers to these patients, depending on different migration processes that characterise the patients’ lives. Further, we found that the contact-tracing the social workers had to perform according to Swedish law could be contradictory to the supportive therapy of the patients. \u0000Conclusion: Our study showed that the stigma and social vulnerability of HIV-positive migrants in different respects call for extra support from the caregivers in order to respond to the needs of HIV-positive migrants through targeted interventions. More resources are needed within the different fields of social support, in order to provide optimal care and support to HIV-positive migrants.","PeriodicalId":89166,"journal":{"name":"Journal of AIDS & clinical research","volume":" ","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2155-6113.1000758","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44145946","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}

Early initiation to sexual intercourse without having proper protection has been one of the concerns. Previous studies in Ethiopia indicated significant numbers of adolescents are sexually active and only about 40% of them reported consistent use of condom which exposes them to various form of reproductive health risk. Therefore the main aim of this study was to assess premarital sexual practices and sexual and reproductive health risks associated with it among secondary school adolescents. Methods: School based cross-sectional study design supported by qualitative survey was used. A total of 702 study participant was selected by multi stage sampling technique. Structured questionnaire and focus group discussion were used to collect the data. Finally data were entered using Epi info version 7 and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Result: The Magnitude of premarital sexual practice was 136 (20.6%) from which 99 (72.8%) were males. Mean age at first sexual initiation was found to be 15.5. Being male (AOR [95% CI] =4.60[2.25, 9.67]), having pocket money (AOR [95% CI] =2.86 [1.45, 5.63]), watching pornographic movies (AOR [95% CI] = 2.82 [1.30, 6.13]), and drinking alcohol (AOR [95% CI] = 1.99 [1.01, 3.91]) were found to have association with premarital sexual practice. Conclusion: The study reflected the prevalence of pre-marital sexual practices was high. Therefore there should be control over local cinemas, movie renting shops and groceries to decrease exposure of adolescents for pornographic movies and alcohols.

Based on our formative work in an ongoing study, we discuss two important insights regarding the use of incentives to inform future HIV prevention efforts. First, participants often expressed more excitement for prizes that were viewed as fun (e.g., movie gift cards) or luxurious (e.g., cosmetics gift cards) rather than necessities (e.g., grocery store gift cards) of the same financial value and suggests that including an element of fun can be a powerful tool for incentivizing safe HIV-related behavior. Second, participants preferred not to be \"paid\" to display health behaviors, indicating the way incentives are given out (and perceived) is central to their success.
