Abstract:

Background According to national data, West Kalimantan is one of the ten top provinces that reported AIDS cases, ranked eighth. Until December 2019, based on data recorded in the Provincial Health Office that reported to the Indonesia Ministry of Health, the AIDS case rate in West Kalimantan was 49.35, showing over the national AIDS case rate (38.93). In this study, an unmatched case-control determines the factors associated with HIV/AIDS among women in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Methods The study was conducted among 90 women who tested positive for HIV/AIDS (cases) and 90 who tested negative for HIV/AIDS (controls). Data were collected using questionnaires from June 2019 to August 2019 at three community health centres in West Kalimantan. Data were analyzed using IBM Statistical Package Social Science (SPSS) 19. Descriptive analyses and Multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to examine the factors associated with HIV/AIDS. Results: This study has found a significant association between crucial aspects such as marital status, occupation, knowledge about HIV/AIDS, HIV treatment, and VCT (Voluntary Counseling and Testing) service program with cases of HIV/AIDS. A significant association between marital statuses with HIV/AIDS suggests that divorced/widowed have a higher risk of having HIV/AIDS, followed by the married group. Women with good educational backgrounds will likely know how to prevent HIV infection and take preventive measures to protect themselves. Results This study found a significant relationship between several important aspects such as marital status, occupation, knowledge of HIV/AIDS, HIV treatment, and the VCT (Voluntary Counseling and Testing) service program with HIV/AIDS cases. The significant relationship between marital status and HIV/AIDS shows that divorced/widows have a higher risk of contracting HIV/AIDS, followed by the married group. Women with a good educational background tend to know about HIV infection prevention measures and take precautions to protect themselves. Conclusions Some factors are significantly related to HIV/AIDS. Thus, educating women about sex could potentially decrease the number of HIV/AIDS cases.

Abstract:

Background: The high prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections has become a devastating publi6c health problem. In response, many governments have taken measures to reduce the transmission of HIV and the number of deaths from HIV/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). This study aims to investigate spatial distribution of HIV/AIDS cases and deaths from AIDS in Vietnam in 2017 with the help of a histogram and Geographic Information System (GIS). Materials and Methods: Datasets of HIV/AIDS cases and deaths from AIDS in Vietnam in 2017 were first collected from website of the Vietnam Ministry of Health. Histogram was then used to study distribution of HIV/AIDS cases and deaths from AIDS. It will go on to analyze the spatial distribution of HIV/AIDS cases and deaths from AIDS. Finally, the results will be discussed and concluded. Results: It was found that a high number of HIV/AIDS cases was mainly concentrated in the provinces of the north central region, Da Nang and some provinces in the south of Vietnam. High number of deaths due to AIDS was mainly concentrated in the provinces/cities of the northeast and north central regions of Vietnam. Meanwhile, low and very low numbers of deaths due to AIDS were mainly found in the south central and south-central regions of Vietnam. Conclusion: Histogram and GIS-based mapping technique can be useful tools for mapping spatial distribution of HIV/AIDS cases and deaths from AIDS. Findings in this study can also provide an insight into the spread patterns of HIV/AIDS. Keywords: Spatial distribution, HIV/AIDS, Infectious diseases, Deaths, Histogram, Geographic Information System.

Abstract:

The clinical behavior of Kaposi's sarcoma involving the feet is compared for patients with and without AIDS. Although AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma is less likely to be confined to the legs than is non-AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma, the legs are the most common site of disease in both forms. Kaposi's sarcoma occurring in the AIDS setting is as radiosensitive as that which occurs in the patient without AIDS. Palliative radiotherapy can offer substantial relief for affected patients.

Abstract:

One hundred nurses were randomly selected from General Hospital Ogoja to assess the level of knowledge of nurses about AIDS with regard to causes, signs and symptoms, mode of transmission, attitudes of nurses toward AIDS patients and safety practices as they affect the practice of caring for AIDS patients. A questionnaire made up of two parts was used. Part A sought demographic information while Part B sought information on knowledge and attitudes of nurses toward AIDS patients. Six hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. Data were analyzed by the use of t-test and chi-square statistics. The results revealed a “passing” level of knowledge for nurses with regard to AIDS matters. On the other hand, the result revealed negative attitudes among nurses toward the care of AIDS. Recommendations were made for nurses to be involved in seminars and workshops regarding the AIDS issue both within and outside the country.

Abstract:

ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to compare depressive symptoms among people with HIV/AIDS and the general population sample. We also assessed the factors associated with depressive symptoms.DesignA comparative cross-sectional study was conducted.SettingsAntiretroviral therapy clinics in three primary healthcare facilities and semi-urban area in Northwest Ethiopia.ParticipantsA total of 1115 participants (558 people with HIV/AIDS and 557 comparison group) aged 18 years and above were recruited. A total of 1026 participants (530 people with HIV/AIDS and 496 comparison group) completed the interview. We excluded people with known HIV-positive status from the comparison group.Outcome measurePatient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) was used to assess depressive symptoms. The proportion of depressive symptoms was compared between samples of the general population and people with HIV/AIDS using χ2 statistics. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was done to examine the associated factors.ResultsThe overall prevalence of depressive symptoms was 13.3% (11.2%–15.4%). The prevalence was significantly higher in people with HIV/AIDS compared with the community sample (16.6% vs 12.3%), p=0.001. The difference was also significant in the multivariable logistic regression (OR 1.7). For the overall sample, depressive symptoms were significantly associated with older age, being single, divorced/widowed marital status, and poor social support.ConclusionsDepressive symptoms were higher in people with HIV/AIDS compared with the general population. It is necessary to include mental healthcare and screening for depression in routine HIV/AIDS care.

Abstract:

Background: Bacterial plaque is etiological factor for initiation of periodontitis. Toothbrushing is necessary for maintaining oral hygiene. However, toothbrushing alone is not enough in interproximal areas. The use of interdental aids was important to clean interdental areas of plaque that forms frequently.Methods: A 35 items questionnaire was structured and distributed among 422 dental under graduate students. The distribution of responses was presented as frequencies and percentage.Results: A total of 422 participants out of whom 5.7% below 20 years 94.3% were 20-25 years. 83 interns and 339 undergraduate students, frequency (%) was more in under graduates compare to interns. The mean knowledge score among undergraduates was 6.80 and in interns was 5.67. Knowledge about interdental cleaning aids was highly significant (p<0.01) among undergraduate students.Conclusions: The overall knowledge and awareness about interdental aids was good. But meticulous planning regarding awareness needs to be followed. The practice regarding interdental aids should be improved, dentist should work closely with the patient to convey message about usage of interdental aids.

Abstract:

Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is the most common cancer in patients with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). In 1994, Chang and Moore discovered Kaposi sarcoma associated herpesvirus for the first time in KS lesions in AIDS patients. KS is a low-grade mesenchymal neoplasm of blood and lymphatic vessels that primarily affects the skin, although the disease may become disseminated to the lymphatic system, lungs, airways, or abdominal viscera. In this research, clinical characteristics and treatment of patients of Kaposi sarcoma were retrospectively analyzed in Hotan District, Xinjiang China. We look into the clinical traits, prognosis, and therapy of Kaposi sarcoma. From May 2017 to August 2022, 32 patients were treated in the People’s Hospital of Hotan District, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China. Twenty-two of these were classic Kaposi sarcomas (cKS), and 10 of these were Kaposi sarcomas linked to AIDS (AIDS-KS). The majority of KS patients were Uyghur. In terms of age at onset, AIDS-KS patients were younger than cKS patients. cKS and AIDS-KS are most frequently manifested in the feet and lower limbs. Ten patients with AIDS-KS have treated with combination antiretroviral therapy (combination antiretroviral therapy) combination chemotherapy, 5 of 10 patients had a complete response, 2 patients achieved partial response, the overall effective rate was 70%, and CD4 + T cells were greater than before. For cKS and AIDS-KS, the median overall survival was 56 and 50.8 months, respectively (P > .05). As a result, antiviral combination chemotherapy can also improve the prognosis of AIDS-KS patients.

Abstract:

Objectives: Hearing aid usage supports communication and independence; however, many do not use their hearing aids. This study explored the experiences of hearing aid use in adults with mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer’s disease. Methods: Participants completed semi-structured interviews which were analysed using thematic analysis. Ten people (six males, age range 75–86 years old) with mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer’s disease who had been fitted with hearing aids were recruited to the study. Results: We identified four major themes: (1) memory and other cognitive barriers to using hearing aids, (2) practical aspects of hearing aids, (3) benefits of hearing aids, and (4) ambivalence towards hearing aids. Conclusions: Participants perceived a significant impact of cognitive impairment on the experience of using hearing aids. This population may benefit from targeted strategies to support use of hearing aids. The findings from this study can inform future research to optimise use of hearing aids in this population.

Abstract:

Introduction: HIV/AIDS is one of the major health problems worldwide. Despite the low prevalence of HIV in Bahrain, educational and awareness programs remain highly important in controlling and preventing the spread of the disease. This study aimed to assess the public’s knowledge, risk perceptions, and attitudes towards HIV/AIDS in Bahrain. Methodology: A self-administered questionnaire-based survey was administered to and completed by 1,038 Bahraini adults. Results: Although the average general awareness among participants was good (63%), some misconceptions and erroneous beliefs were common, including knowledge of mode of transmission and high risk groups. Participants’ attitudes towards HIV/AIDS patients varied but were mostly negative; 60% of respondents agreed to isolating HIV/AIDS patients in workplaces and schools, and 52.4% of them thought that HIV is a divine punishment. The vast majority of the participants (84.4%) believed in the role of religion in limiting the spread of the disease. Though the local media was the least utilized source of information, the general opinion of the participants about the role of Bahraini government agencies and organizations in combating HIV/AIDS was positive. Conclusions: Though the Bahraini public had good knowledge about HIV/AIDS, there were misconceptions that need to be addressed. A major finding of this study was the negative attitudes towards HIV/AIDS patients. To have successful HIV control programs, negative attitudes towards HIV patients and the disease should be minimized. Existing and newly proposed health education and awareness program in Bahrain should address the issue of negative attitudes towards HIV/AIDS observed in this study.

Abstract:

In 1981, AIDS was first recognized in the United States. Every year, AIDS cases always increase. The incidence of cross-infection cases in dentists reaches 36% when managing HIV/AIDS patients. Having good knowledge and attitudes can lead to good behavior towards the management of HIV/AIDS patients. The formation of knowledge, attitudes, and good behavior will increase over time, along with the experience of a dentist. This research aims to determine the relationship between the knowledge and attitudes of dental students at RSGM UMY and the management behavior of HIV/AIDS patients. This research is an analytical observation with a cross-sectional approach that used a questionnaire instrument. The respondents of this research were 75 dental students. This research questionnaire includes knowledge, attitudes, and behavior about HIV/AIDS towards the management of HIV/AIDS patients. Data analysis used Chi-square analysis. The results of the descriptive analysis showed that 93.3% of dental students had high knowledge and positive attitudes, and 6.7% had moderate knowledge and were neutral towards HIV/AIDS patients. 77.3% of dental students fell into the good behavior category, 12% in the moderate behavior category, and 10.7% in the bad behavior category. The results of statistical tests using Chi-square obtained p value = 0.456 ( 0.05), indicating no significant relationship between research variables. Based on the results of the research, there was no significant relationship between the knowledge, behavior, and attitudes of dental students at RSGM UMY and the management behavior of HIV/AIDS patients.

Abstract:

HIV/AIDS poses a significant and one of the most genuine general well-being challenges. For HIV anticipation in the Indian scenario, the main plausible and financially savvy approach that can be adapted is proper training about HIV/AIDS and its various aspects. The present study was embraced to survey the degree of information and awareness about HIV/AIDS among clients attending ICTC facility in our hospital.A total of 200 clients, of age >18yrs, attending the ICTC for HIV testing were studied over a period of 3 months. A questionnaire was prepared in regards to the methods of transmission, preventive techniques, mentality towards patient living with HIV/ AIDS and the source of HIV/ AIDS. The response of clients to the questionnaire was recorded.Among 200 participants, 97% were aware that unprotected sex is a mode of HIV transmission and 64% were aware that infected blood transfusion, use of unsterile needles and syringes contribute to other modes of HIV transmission. It was also noted that uneducated clients had a false perception that HIV can be transmitted by drinking water from same glass and by mosquito bite and this was statistically significant compared to educated individuals. The main source of acquiring positive information among the clients regarding HIV was observed to be television (32.5%). Stigma among the general public was mostly due to fear of contracting the illness. There is a requirement for more noteworthy endeavours toward making data with respect to HIV/AIDS accessible to all. The level of awareness regarding HIV/AIDS needs to be elevated among the public.

Abstract:

Acurate information about acquired immunodeficiency syndrome [AIDS]and human immunodeficiency virus [HIV]is important for their prevention. This study is intended to assess knowledge on AIDS in students of secondary schools in Buraidah City and to measure the effect of a health education program on their knowledge about AIDS in general, modes of HIV transmission and the degree of their misperception about the transmission of the disease through casual contact. A well-designed health education program using personal communication and visual media techniques was conducted for 483 secondary school students in Buraidah secondary schools during the year 1997. Pre- and post-tests were done to examine their knowledge about AIDS. The results of this study pointed out that a health education program on AIDS for students of secondary schools greatly and significantly improved their scores on general knowledge on AIDS views on its transmission and misperception of AIDS [p < 0.01]. Continuous in-ice programs for secondary students are recommended

Abstract:

This research is motivated by the increasing cases of HIV/AIDS in Indonesia due to a lack of knowledge, information, and public awareness about HIV/AIDS. In addition, social prejudice and discrimination still exist. Therefore, it is considered necessary to make maximum effort to prevent it. Changes in human behavior are expected to reduce the rate of spread of HIV/AIDS in society because it can hinder socio-economic development and threaten national stability. The purpose of this study was to describe HIV/AIDS prevention efforts in Harapan Village, Kwamki Narama District, Mimika Regency, Papua. The type of research used was research with a descriptive research design to obtain a detailed description of HIV/AIDS prevention behavior. The number of samples is 80 with a simple random sampling method. As a result, the percentage of respondents who took appropriate HIV/AIDS prevention measures was the highest at 66.3%, followed by appropriate attitudes at 63.8% and knowledge of appropriate attitudes at 53.8%, followed by %. This means that there is a significant relationship between behavior and attitudes towards behavior in HIV/AIDS prevention. There is no significant relationship between knowledge and action in HIV/AIDS prevention. It was concluded that respondents' lack of knowledge influences their behavior in preventing HIV/AIDS. In terms of attitude, the behavior of respondents who take or do not avoid HIV/AIDS transmission can influence their behavior in the decision-making process as well as their behavior in HIV/AIDS prevention. The bottom line is that knowledge, attitudes, and actions are very important in efforts to combat HIV/AIDS

Abstract:

Social assistance policy initiatives are crucial to improve the socio-economic conditions of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). Little is known about the implementation of HIV/AIDS social assistance policies in China, as well as the effects on recipients of the subsidies associated with these policies. This qualitative study examined HIV/AIDS social assistance policy implementation in rural Central China, a region heavily affected by HIV/AIDS. Using thematic analysis, we analyzed data from 15 interviews with PLWHA in Fuyang City, Anhui. The findings reveal the predominant role that social assistance policies played in mitigating the deleterious impacts of HIV/AIDS on PLWHA. These policies provided living subsidies and greatly reduced the economic burdens through medical and educational assistance plans. Our findings also highlight challenges with implementation of the policy, including access and coverage issues, inadequate subsidies, stigma, and issues related to recipients’ privacy. This study provides recommendations to improve social assistance policies that mitigate the negative impacts of HIV/AIDS on vulnerable households.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION: Attitude towards HIV and AIDS has been a concern in a number of researches undertaken in the area of HIV and AIDS. Attitude towards HIV and AIDS has two dimensions mainly positive and negative that influence stigma and discrimination towards People Living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA). The objective of this paper is to determine students’ attitude towards HIV and AIDS when they start university life.METHOD: The study has employed a longitudinal study design in which data was collected in two phases. This paper presents the results of phase I with the population of the study being all 1st year Ardhi University undergraduate students 2011/12. A sample size of 625 students was determined by using Survey System Package available free on the internet. Stratified random sampling was employed whereby students were categorized into schools and selected proportionately by sex. Data was collected through literature review and questionnaires and analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software package version 20.0.RESULTS: Results of the study reveal that a relatively high number of students exhibits negative attitude towards PLWHA and to other attitudinal indicators. Within gender, negative Attitude towards HIV and AIDS was noticeable in male compared to female though the difference was not statistically significant. Across schools, School of Architecture and Design (SADE) has a relatively high number of students with negative attitude towards HIV and AIDS of all schools and, generally, the difference in positive and negative attitudes across schools was statistically significant.CONCLUSIONS: Studies reviewed disclose negative attitude towards PLWHA in varying aspects at considerable levels. The present study also concludes that significant levels of stigma and discrimination against PLWHA still exist among students.

Abstract:

ObjectivesIncreasing data about COVID-19 have been acquired from the general population. We aim to further evaluate the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 in patients with systemic autoimmune diseases (AIDs).MethodsWe included all confirmed inpatients with COVID-19 and systemic AIDs in Wuhan Tongji Hospital from 29 January to 8 March 2020. We retrospectively collected and analysed information on epidemiology of 1255 inpatients and additional clinical characteristics of patients with systemic AIDs. Outcomes were followed up until 16 April 2020.ResultsOf the 1255 patients with COVID-19, the median age was 64.0 years and 53.1% were male. More than half (63.0%) had chronic comorbidities. The proportions of elderly, male and patients with comorbidities were significantly higher in intensive care unit (ICU) than in the general ward (p<0.001). 17 (0.61%) patients with systemic AIDs were further screened and analysed from 2804 inpatients. The median age was 64.0 years and 82.4% were female. All patients were living in Wuhan and two family clusters were found. 1 (5.9%) patient was admitted to ICU and one died. 10 (62.5%) of 16 patients changed or stopped their anti-AIDs treatments during hospitalisation, and 5 of them felt that the disease had worsened after the quarantine.ConclusionsOlder males with chronic comorbidities are more vulnerable to severe COVID-19. The lower proportion of COVID-19 in patients with systemic AIDs needs more high-quality human clinical trials and in-depth mechanism researches. Of note, the withdrawal of anti-AIDs treatments during hospitalisation can lead to flares of diseases.

Abstract:

The role of the Tuscany population-based Cancer Registry (TCR) in the assessment of cancer incidence in AIDS patients, and the completeness of cancer reporting to the Italian AIDS surveillance system (RAIDS) was evaluated through a linkage between the TCR and the RAIDS in the period 1985-90. In the Province of Florence, the incidence of Kaposi's sarcoma in AIDS cases was underestimated by 24% (95% CI; 9.8%-47%; 6/25 cases) by RAIDS in comparison with the TCR. Of kaposi's sarcomas unknown to RAIDS, 2 were incident at the time of AIDS diagnosis (“truly” unreported cases) and 4 were late manifestations of AIDS. Moreover, 1 non-Hodgkin lymphoma unknown to RAIDS and 10 other malignancies (4 lung cancers) were identified through the TCR. In AIDS patients, the incidence of lung cancer was 95-fold (99% CI, 16-310) the expected one on the basis of age-sex-specific incidence rates in the general population of the same area. Altogether, about 25% of AIDS cases developed a cancer during HIV infection. In spite of the small size of the present study, the results confirm the role of population-based cancer registries in the assessment of the occurrence of malignancies in AIDS patients.

Abstract:

Background. Previous research has found that hearing loss is associated with poorer cognitive function. The question is that when a hearing impairment is being compensated for by appropriately fitted monaural hearing aids, special precautions are still needed when screening cognitive function in older adults.Objective. This research examined cognitive function in elderly hearing aid users who used monaural hearing aids and whether the presence of a hearing impairment should be accounted for when screening cognitive function in these individuals.Methods. Auditory thresholds, sentence reception thresholds, and self-reported outcomes with hearing aids were measured in 34 older hearing aid users to ensure hearing aids were appropriately fitted. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) results obtained in these participants were then compared to normative data obtained in a general older population exhibiting similar demographic characteristics. Stepwise multiple regression analyses were used to examine the effects of demographic and auditory variables on MMSE scores.Conclusions. Results showed that, even with appropriately fitted hearing aids, cognitive decline was significant. Besides the factors commonly measured in the literature, we believed that auditory deprivation was not being fully compensated for by hearing aids. Most importantly, screening of cognitive function should take into account the effects of hearing impairment, even when hearing devices have been appropriately fitted.

Abstract:

Background: Prevention and control of HIV/AIDS depends on general knowledge and attitude towards HIV/AIDS. So the present study was conducted with the aim to assess knowledge, attitude, and preventive practices regarding HIV infection and AIDS among rural peoples.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among peoples age more than 15 years in a villages which comes under field practice area of rural health training centre (RHTC) of our medical college. Total 396 individuals were interviewed during March 2015 to April 2015 by using predesigned and pretested questionnaire after taking written informed consent.Results: 71.5% knows uninfected faithful partner and 82.1% thinks use of condom will prevent transmission of HIV/AIDS to their partners. 46.7% thinks mosquito bite, 37.6% thinks sharing food transmit HIV/AIDS. 83.1% knows pregnancy and 79.3% knows breastfeeding transmit HIV to their children. 61.1% willing for not to keep HIV status secret, 81.6% willing to take care of relatives having HIV, 88.6% allow HIV positive teachers to continue teaching and 68.4% will buy vegetables from HIV positive shopkeeper. 36.8% knows nearby place where condoms are available and 49.7% knows nearby place for HIV testing.Conclusions:People have good knowledge about HIV transmission i.e. faithful partner, condom use, pregnancy and breast feeding. Still some misconceptions need to be address regarding mosquito bite and sharing food with person having HIV/AIDS. Participants have poor knowledge about nearby availability of services related to HIV/AIDS.

Abstract:

Many aspects of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) have been described in detail in the literature. However, there have been very few articles on the phenomenon of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the lower extremities of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/AIDS patients. The objective of this communication is to record the incidence of DVT in HIV/AIDS patients and the risks for development of embolic events and to emphasize the need for prevention and for the vigorous treatment of this complication. We conducted a retrospective review of HIV/AIDS-infected patients with DVT admitted to Mount Sinai School of Medicine/Cabrini Hospital in New York during the last 5 years. Analysis includes demographic data; risk factors for HIV/AIDS infection; associated medical problems; recent surgery; and laboratory findings including CD4 counts, platelet counts, prothrombin times, partial thromboplastin times, and plasma albumin levels; and image studies. From January 1995 to January 2000 4752 HIV/AIDS-infected patients were admitted. Of those admitted to the hospital 45 (0.95%) were found to have DVT. There were 36 males and nine females (mean age 43 years). Of the 45 patients 38 had infectious complications and 13 developed a malignancy. The distribution of the thromboses were the femoral vein in 23 patients, the popliteal vein in 20 patients, and the iliofemoral system in 2 patients. Twelve patients had recurrent DVT and three patients developed a pulmonary embolism. HIV/AIDS infection is a considerable risk for development of DVT in the lower extremity. Statistically DVT in HIV/AIDS is approximately 10 times greater than in the general population. Emphasis upon prevention and vigorous treatment of DVT is recommended.

Abstract:

Aims: To examine how a rural community profoundly affected by escalating rates of largely AIDS-related deaths of young and middle-aged people makes sense of this phenomenon and its impact on their everyday lives. Methods: Data were collected in Agincourt subdistrict, Limpopo Province. Twelve focus groups were constituted according to age and gender and met three times (a total of 36 focus-group discussions [FGDs]). The FGDs explored sequentially people's expectations of their lives in the ``new'' South Africa, their interpretations of the acceleration of death amongst the young and middle-aged, and their understandings of HIV/AIDS. Discussions were recorded, fully transcribed, and thematically analysed. Results: Respondents acknowledged escalating death rates in their community, yet few referred directly to HIV/AIDS as the cause. Rather, respondents focused on the social and cultural causes of death, including the erosion of cultural norms and traditions such as cultural taboos on sex. There are many competing versions of what HIV/AIDS is, what causes it and how it is spread, ranging from scientific explanations to conspiracy theories. Findings highlight the relationship between AIDS and other traditional diseases with some respondents suggesting that AIDS is a new form of other longstanding illnesses. Conclusions: This study points to the centrality of cultural explanations in understanding ``bad death'' (AIDS death) in the Agincourt area. Physical illness is understood to be a symptom of ``cultural damage''. Implications of this for public health practice and research are outlined.

Abstract:

Over the next ten years, as the AIDS epidemic takes its toll on the economically active population, employers will incur considerable costs. However, relatively inexpensive interventions, if implemented now, can yield substantial returns and save business considerable amounts of money. Thus, social responsibility can be argued to make economic sense. Worrying, though, is that there also appears to be a general apathy on the part of business, especially amongst small and medium-sized enterprises. A lot needs to be done to change the attitude of business and get business actively involved in the fight against HIV/AIDS. The private sector can and need to do its share in an integrated, coordinated response to HIV/AIDS, thus contributing to the initiatives on which the government, NGOs and communities have already embarked.

Abstract:

Background: Adolescents face increased vulnerability to HIV/AIDS due to factors such as insufficient knowledge and awareness, stigma, and restricted access to information. The Indonesian government initiated a peer education program through the Planning Generation Program (GenRe) ambassadors. These ambassadors are tasked with educating their peers about HIV/AIDS. However, their experiences are largely underexplored. Objective: This study aimed to explore the GenRe ambassadors’ experience in improving adolescents’ HIV/AIDS prevention behavior. Methods: This study employed a qualitative phenomenological approach, with in-depth and semi-structured interviews of GenRe ambassadors who had served for at least three to six months within the South Jakarta Health Sub-Department, Indonesia. Purposive sampling and data saturation techniques were utilized. Data were collected from 13 May to 31 August 2022, and Colaizzi’s steps were used to guide the data analysis. Results: Nineteen GenRe ambassadors participated, predominantly female university students ages 18–22. Six themes were developed: 1) the impact of GenRe ambassadors’ roles in improving HIV/AIDS prevention behavior, 2) activities to improve HIV/AIDS prevention behavior, 3) enhancement of self-concept as GenRe ambassadors, 4) obstacles to activities for improving HIV/AIDS prevention behavior, 5) support for activities to improve HIV/AIDS prevention behavior, and 6) hope for improving the GenRe ambassador program’s implementation. Conclusion: GenRe ambassadors are influencers who play a critical role in promoting HIV/AIDS prevention behaviors and fostering positive change in the broader youth community. Despite their positive self-concept, they encounter challenges in fulfilling their roles. Utilizing their insights, community health nurses can create effective peer-led HIV/AIDS prevention programs and contribute to a model of health promotion for adolescents. Leveraging the role of GenRe ambassadors as peer educators is recommended to enhance HIV/AIDS prevention efforts among adolescents.

Abstract:

People living with AIDS are at increased risk of developing certain cancers. Since the introduction of the highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), the incidence of AIDS-defining cancers (ADCs) has decreased in high-income countries. The objective of this study was to analyse trends in ADCs and non-AIDS-defining cancers (NADCs) in HIV-positive people with a diagnosis of AIDS, in comparison to the general population, in São Paulo, Brazil. A probabilistic record linkage between the ‘Population-based Cancer Registry of São Paulo’ and the AIDS notification database (SINAN) was conducted. Cancer trends were assessed by annual per cent change (APC). In people with AIDS, 2074 cancers were diagnosed. Among men with AIDS, the most frequent cancer was Kaposi’s sarcoma (469; 31.1%), followed by non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL; 304; 20.1%). A decline was seen for ADCs (APC = −14.1%). All NADCs have increased (APC = 7.4%/year) significantly since the mid-2000s driven by the significant upward trends of anal (APC = 24.6%/year) and lung cancers (APC = 15.9%/year). In contrast, in men from the general population, decreasing trends were observed for these cancers. For women with AIDS, the most frequent cancer was cervical (114; 20.2%), followed by NHL (96; 17.0%). Significant declining trends were seen for both ADCs (APC = −15.6%/year) and all NADCs (APC = −15.8%/year), a comparable pattern to that found for the general female population. Trends in cancers among people with AIDS in São Paulo showed similar patterns to those found in developed countries. Although ADCs have significantly decreased, probably due to the introduction of HAART, NADCs in men have shown an opposite upward trend.

Abstract:

Background: Teachers are in advantage position to propagate correct information with regard to HIV/AIDS thereby influencing attitude towards PLWHA. With correct information stigmatization leading to spread of the scourge might be prevented. Aims & Objectives: The study was conducted to determine knowledge and attitude of primary school teachers towards PLWHA. Methods & Materials: The cross-sectional survey was used to study a sample of 400 primary school teachers in Ebonyi State, Nigeria. The instrument used for data collection was researchers’ designed questionnaire. Out of 400 copies of ques- tionnaire administered; 394 representing 98.5% return rate, were used for analysis of data. Results: Results showed respondents had moderate (57.4%) knowledge concerning HIV/AIDS and positive attitude (3.09 ± 0.98) to PLWHA. Female teachers’ dispositions to PLWHA were better than the males based on their attitude scores and the difference was not significant in general knowledge of HIV/AIDS and attitude to PLWHA. Conclusion: Our findings underscore the need for a universal health education programme, focusing on HIV/AIDS educa- tion, in education institutions that train teachers in Nigeria so as to possibly mitigate the discrepancy in knowledge regarding curability of AIDS and any undesirable attitude towards PLWHA that may arise among teachers. Keywords: HIV/AIDS; knowledge; attitude; PLWHA; primary school; teachers.

Abstract:

The contribution of India to the global burden of HIV/AIDS is significant. A major barrier that the country has faced in its battle against this disease is the inadequate and inaccurate information about it among the population. The present analysis explores the knowledge about HIV/AIDS among clients attending a voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) facility in India. Two hundred clients attending the VCT facility were assessed in this regard using a structured predesigned questionnaire. Sixty-three (31.5%) of the respondents had never heard of HIV/AIDS. In comparison to males, a significantly higher number of females had not heard about the disease (P<0.01). Lower levels of education of participants were found to be significantly associated with the response of not having heard of HIV/AIDS (P<0.01) as was an occupation status of being an unemployed man/housewife (P=0.002). For the 137 (68.5%) respondents who had heard about HIV/AIDS, television was the source of information in 130 (94.9%) followed by posters in 93 (67.9%) and newspapers in 88 (64.2%). While the knowledge about HIV transmission and prevention was good, the extent of misconceptions was high (61.8%). Our study highlights the strong need to raise the levels of HIV awareness among Indian population.

Abstract:

Background/Aim. Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has led to dramatic reductions in mortality and morbidity of HIV/AIDS-patients. Lipodystrophy, a syndrome including peripheral fat wasting and central obesity, is well-documented side effect of HAART. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of lipodystrophy, and to determine its risk ratios in a HIV/AIDS cohort. Methods. This cross-sectional study included all antiretroviral-naive HIV/AIDS patients commencing HAART from October 1, 2001 to October 1, 2010, in the HIV/AIDS Center, Institute of Infectious and Tropical Diseases, Belgrade, Serbia. Univariate and stepwise multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine the odds ratios (OR) with the confidence interval (CI) of 95%, in order to establish the relative risk for lipodystrophy. The Kaplan-Meier-method was used to determine the probability of development lipodystrophy over time. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software version using 0.05 as a p-treshold for the significance. Results. This study included 840 HIV/AIDS patients, 608 women and 232 men, followed for 5.6 ? 2.8 years. The prevalence of lipodystrophy was 69.2%. Univariate and stepwise multivariate regression analysis identified that the female gender, hepatitis C coinfection, AIDS diagnosis prior to HAART initiation, nucleoside-reverse-transcriptase-inhibitors and proteaseinhibitors based regimens had a high risk for developing lipodystrophy in HIV/AIDS-patients (OR = 1.6, 95% CI = 1.1-3.49, p = 0.04; OR = 3.31, 95% CI = 1.4 - 3.8, p < 0.01; OR = 3.7, 95% CI = 1.7 - 6.1, p < 0.01; OR = 2.1, 95% CI = 1.7 - 3.3, p < 0.01; OR = 6.1, 95% CI = 4.1 - 9.7, p < 0.01, respectively). Conclusion. Despite much greater life expectancy of HIV/AIDSpatients, treatment-related toxicities still remain a major concern. Monitoring of lipodystrophy, as side effect of HAART, is particularly important.

Abstract:

Background: 2022 will see an increase in the number of HIV/AIDS cases in Jombang City, ranking it second in East Java with 1388 PLWHA, 20 cases of mother-to-child HIV transmission during childbirth, 12 HIV (+) cases, 8 AIDS cases, and 100 fatalities. The Independent Practice Midwife (BPM) is the linchpin of a healthcare organization that has the potential to grow into a network of expectant mothers. Midwives are qualified to serve as health educators for expectant women who exhibit habits that increase their risk of contracting HIV/AIDS. In a qualitative study in Jombang City, the aim of this study was to determine the program to develop midwives' ability as health educators for expectant mothers in an effort to prevent HIV/AIDS transmission. Method: This study is qualitative and employs an in-depth interviewing methodology. Up to 8 stakeholders served as primary informants, while 2 NGOs and 10 BPM employees served as secondary informants. analysis of data using the content analysis approach. Results: Because national guidelines for preventing HIV transmission from mother to newborn have been popularized, stakeholders have implemented a policy that uses standard technical programs for midwifery practice. Midwives have received training in APN, PI, and STIs, but due to funding restrictions, they have never received training in HIV/AIDS counseling. There is no such thing as BPM; only the central IBI does monitoring and assessment, which is done only through monthly reports. The coordination of NGOs, KPAD Regional Child Protection Commission, Public Health Office, The Indonesian Midwives Association, and BPM in the execution of monitoring and evaluation is insufficient, and only IBI is carried out, unplanned, carried out at any moment if it is going to prolong the practice permit. BPM has not yet received special supervision. Coordination amongst stakeholders during the implementation of supervision is insufficient. In an effort to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS, health education facilities for pregnant women in BPM have been provided with posters, flipcharts, and MCH handbooks. There are four VCT clinics and three PMTCT clinics. Conclusion: Program to improve midwives' abilities as health educators for expectant mothers in an effort to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS at BPM (independent practice midwives) Jombang City. In order to improve coordination between stakeholders (KPAD Regional Child Protection Commission, Public Health Office, and IBI The Indonesian Midwives Association with BPM in monitoring and supervision, train counselors for BPM (independent practice midwives), and have midwives become more motivated to provide IEC and continue to improve professionalism in providing midwifery services, advocacy is required to the Regional/ Legislative Council
