Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: As the only effective treatment for HIV/AIDS, adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is critical for successful treatment outcomes. Despite its open availability since the national rollout in 2004, adherence to ART has remained sub-optimal and the number of individuals shifted to the more expensive second-line therapy on steady increase. The literature reports more commonly on individual, psychological, and behavioural barriers to treatment. However, there has been a vast interest in the structural barriers that prohibit adherence to ART. In previous research, my colleagues and I identified the following structural barriers to treatment adherence: stigma-related barriers, the disincentives associated with disability grants, poor relationships with clinic staff, lack of privacy at clinics for counselling and treatment, transport difficulties in travelling to the clinic, long patient waiting times, food insecurity, substance abuse and the absence of substance abuse programmes, and migration. The data were arrived at by means of triangulated qualitative interviews obtained from patients, patient advocates, doctors, and nurses. Together, these qualitative data formed phase 1 of this study. The next step or phase 2, in this research was to develop a valid and reliable quantitative instrument based on these qualitative data. Therefore the primary aim of the study presented in this thesis was to identify the underlying factor structure of four scales aimed at measuring adherence at two levels namely, adherence to clinic attendance, and adherence to pill-taking. After sampling a group of almost 300 persons living with HIV (PLWH) four valid and reliable scales assessing structural barriers to adherence to ART were derived at with Cronbach alpha coefficients ranging from 0.87 to 0.91. For each scale, a general or higher order factor was determined by means of hierarchical transformation suggesting that the items on each of the scales were dominated by a single underlying factor. The findings of this research suggest that it is possible to assess the structural barriers to adherence that PLWH face on a daily basis. With a proper means, such as these scales, to assess structural barriers to adherence to ART clinicians may be able to identify patients who are likely to default and provide adequate attention to the most distressing barriers.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Antiretrovirale terapie (ART) is die enigste effektiewe behandeling teen MIV/Vigs. Behandeling met hierdie terapie kan slegs suksesvol voltooi word indien die medikasie ononderbroke en gereeld geneem word. Alhoewel medikasie vrylik beskikbaar was sedertdien die nasionale bekendstelling in 2004, het die aantal individue wat na duurder tweede lyn terapie oorgegaan het toegeneem. Die volhoubaarheid van ART was dus nie optimaal nie. Dit kan toegeskryf word aan individuele -, sielkundige - en gedragstruikelblokke tydens behandeling wat tans baie aandag geniet in die literatuur. Om by te voeg, strukturele hindernisse tot ART geniet ook tans baie aandag. Met hierdie as agtergrond, was die primêre doel van die studie om die onderliggende faktor struktuur van vier skale wat strukturele hindernisse tot ART op twee vlakke meet, naamlik getroue kliniek bywoning en neem van medikasie, te indentifiseer. Ons het met vorige navorsing die volgende strukturele hindernisse tot ART geidentifiseer: stigma-verwante hindernisse, hindernisse wat verband hou met ongeskiktheidstoelaes, swak verhoudings met kliniek personeel, die gebrek aan privaatheid by klinieke in terme van berading en behandeling, vervoerprobleme, lang wagtye vir pasiënte, voedselonsekerheid, dwelmmisbruik en die afwesigheid van middelmisbruik-programme, asook migrasie. Data aangaande bogenoemde strukturele hindernisse is ingesamel deur middel van kwalitatiewe onderhoude met pasiënte, pasiënt-advokate, dokters en verpleegsters (fase 1). Gedurende fase 2 van hierdie studie is 'n geldige en betroubare kwantitatiewe instrument op grond van hierdie kwalitatiewe data ontwikkel. 'n Steekproef van ongeveer 300 MIV-geinfekteerde individue het deelgeneem. Vier geldige en betroubare skale is ontwikkel ten opsigte van die assessering van strukturele hindernisse in terme van gereelde gebruik van antiretrivale middels, met Cronbach alpha koëffisiënte tussen 0.87 en 0.91. Vir elke skaal is 'n algemene of hoër-orde faktor bepaal deur middel van hiërargiese transformasie wat daarop dui dat die items op elk van die skale gekenmerk is deur 'n enkele onderliggende faktor. Ons bevindinge dui daarop dat dit moontlik is om die strukturele hindernisse wat MIV individue daagliks tot ART ondervind te meet. Met die gebruik van hierdie skale sal klinici dus in staat wees om pasiënte te identifiseer wat moontlik van ART sal afwyk of die terapie sal staak met die klem op mees onstellende hindernisse.

Повний текст джерелаIn this thesis, we investigate certain key aspects of mathematical modelling to explain the epidemiology of HIV/AIDS at the workplace and to assess the potential benefits of proposed control strategies. Deterministic models to investigate the effects of the transmission dynamics of HIV/AIDS on labour force productivity are formulated. The population is divided into mutually exclusive but exhaustive compartments and a system of differential equations is derived to describe the spread of the epidemic. The qualitative features of their equilibria are analyzed and conditions under which they are stable are provided. Sensitivity analysis of the reproductive number is carried out to determine the relative importance of model parameters to initial disease transmission. Results suggest that optimal control theory in conjunction with standard numerical procedures and cost effective analysis can be used to determine the best intervention strategies to curtail the burden HIV/AIDS is imposing on the human population, in particular to the global economy through infection of the most productive individuals. We utilise Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle to derive and then analyze numerically the conditions for optimal control of the disease with effective use of condoms, enlightenment/educational programs, treatment regime and screening of infectives. We study the potential impact on productivity of combinations of these conventional control measures against HIV. Our numerical results suggest that increased access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) could decrease not only the HIV prevalence but also increase productivity of the infected especially when coupled with prevention, enlightenment and screening efforts.

Повний текст джерелаAntiretroviral therapy (ART) drugs such as stavudine (d4T) are known to have off-target side-effects, including the inhibition of DNA polymerase gamma which replicates mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). ART-induced depletion of mtDNA copy number may cause mitochondrial toxicities such as sensory neuropathy (SN). Genetic variation in DNA polymerase gamma or in other nuclear genes influencing mtDNA replication and mtDNA copy number may therefore contribute to susceptibility to d4T-induced SN. DNA samples from 263 HIV-positive South African adults exposed to d4T were classified as cases with SN (n = 143) and controls without SN (n = 120). A total of 28 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) were chosen in nuclear genes from the mtDNA replication pathway and from a GWAS paper examining SNP association with ART-induced SN (Leger et al. 2014). Genotyping was performed using Sequenom Mass Spectrometry. MtDNA copy number was determined using a qPCR assay. Associations between SN and genetic variants, between genetic variants and mtDNA copy number, and between mtDNA copy number and SN were evaluated in univariate and multivariate models using Plink v1.07 and GraphPad v7. Age and height were significantly different in the cases with SN vs controls without SN. In univariate analyses, three SNPs and two haplotypes were significantly associated with SN, three SNPs were associated with pain intensity and three haplotypes were significantly associated with mtDNA copy number. However, there were no significant associations with SN, pain intensity or mtDNA copy number after correction for multiple SNP testing. No significant difference in mtDNA copy number in cases vs. controls was observed. In conclusion variation in nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes examined in the current study do not play a role in ART-related mitochondrial complications such as changes in mtDNA copy number, or occurrence of SN.

Повний текст джерелаBackground: Stavudine (d4T) use is associated with the development of sensory neuropathy (SN), several mechanisms may underlie d4T-induced toxicity, including: (1) Inter-patient genetic variability in the genes modulating the deoxynucleotide triphosphate (dNTP) pool sizes. (2) Variation in intracellular ARV drug concentrations due to genetic variation in drug transporters. In our study we examined the genetic variation in four stavudine transporter genes and seven genes regulating the deoxythymidine triphosphate (dTTP) synthesis and their associations with d4T-induced SN or CD4+ T cell count or mtDNA copy number. Methods: We examined a cohort of HIV-positive South African (SA) adults exposed to d4T, including 143 cases with SN and 120 controls without SN. 26 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from the literature were chosen, prioritised on being tagSNPs with minor allele frequency >5% in Kenyan Luhya (a proxy population for the SA Black population); SNP functional effects and suitability for multiplex analysis on the genotyping platform. Genotyping was performed using Sequenom mass spectrometry. A qPCR assay was used to measure the mtDNA copy number. Association of sensory neuropathy, CD4+ T cell count and mtDNA copy number with genetic variants was evaluated using PLINK. Results: All 26 SNPs were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) in both the cases and controls. SNP rs8187758 of the SLC28A1 transporter gene and a 3-SNP haplotype ABCG2 were significantly associated with CD4+ T cell count after correction for multiple testing (p = 0.043 and p=0.042 respectively), but were not significant in multivariate testing. No SNP remained significantly associated with SN or mtDNA copy number, after correction for multiple testing. Conclusion: Variation in genes encoding molecular transporters of d4T may influence CD4+ T cell counts after ART. This study presents a positive step towards achieving personalized medicine in SA.

Повний текст джерелаAntiretroviral therapy (ART) was introduced because it has shown to reverse the Acquired Immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), by reducing the HIV replication, allowing the regeneration of the patient’s immune system. ART is given to patients for the rest of their lives as part of HIV clinical care, but the use of ART has shown evidence of metabolic side effects which range from manageable to life threatening complications. Aims and objectives of the study The aim of the study was to investigate whether patients on ART developed metabolic side effects such as pancreatitis, dyslipidaemia and hepatotoxicity. These metabolic side effects were determined by laboratory testing of blood levels of specific biomarkers at stipulated intervals. Any significant change in the blood levels of these specific biomarkers was identified. Methodology : The study included 92 patients who were already selected for the ART programme which is in accordance to the South African National Antiretroviral Therapy Guidelines of 2003 Laboratory blood analysis was conducted. The repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare changes in biomarkers over time. The severity of each side effect was assessed by grading each biomarker laboratory result through the use of an established toxicity grading table. Results : It was found that the biomarker blood levels were not significantly altered within 12 months of ART, however, there was a gradual increase of most biomarker values, indicating that abnormalities may be detected after a longer period of treatment. Conclusion : Within 12 months of treatment, life-threatening toxicities were not detected. It may be speculated that if ART is monitored correctly, life-threatening toxicities may be avoided in many patients.

Background: Patients on antiretroviral (ART) are expected to be at least 95% adherent to their treatment, as this will increase their chances of achieving treatment success (maximum and durable suppression of HIV-1 viral load); non-adherence may lead to the development of HIV drug resistance, which may lead to virologic failure and treatment failure. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) has been reported to be the most efficient method to assess treatment adherence in HIV individuals, since it quantifies the concentration of ARTs in biological matrices. This is very effective when using a robust technique such as liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LCMS/MS), which has played a significant role in the evaluation and interpretation of bioavailability, bioequivalence and pharmacokinetic data. Even with patient adherence, various intra-individual factors have an influence on the expression and function of the genes responsible for the transport (MDR1) and metabolism (CYP2B6) of Efavirenz (EFV). This may lead to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in these genes, and this may affect the way antiretrovirals (ARVs) are metabolized. The aim of this study was to evaluate the EFV concentration in plasma to assess patient adherence to treatment and correlate this with genomic occurrences in human and viral genes. Hypothesis: The concentration of ARVs in patient plasma can be used to estimate adherence to treatment; while ARVs’ transport and metabolism can affect bioavailability in a patient’s system. Research Question: Can EFV concentration in plasma be used to estimate patient adherence to treatment? Can transport and metabolism of EFV affect their bioavailability in the patient’s system? Objectives: To determine EFV concentration in plasma to assess patient adherence to treatment and correlate this with genomic occurrences in human genes and viral genes. Methodology: Twenty blood samples were collected from HIV positive individuals before treatment initiation (baseline) and between six to twelve months following treatment initiation (follow-up). The concentration of EFV in patient plasma was measured by LC-MS/MS technique. To infer other factors influencing patient pharmacokinetics output, drug resistance and human genetic characteristics were analyzed. A 1.65kb fragment of the HIV-1 Pol gene was amplified and sequenced to determine drug resistant mutations; while 363bp and 289bp of the MDR-1 and CYP2B6 human genes respectively, were also amplified and sequenced to determine polymorphisms in the transport and metabolism genes. Obtained sequences were manually edited and analyzed using Geneious Version 11.1.5 software. The Stanford HIV Drug Resistance database was used for drug resistant mutation (DRMs) analysis and MDR1 and CYP2B6 test sequences were compared with variant reference sequences to detect the presence of any SNPs. Results: The plasma EFV concentration at baseline and follow-up range was as follows: 0 – 1183ng/ml and below limits of quantification (BLQ) to 15,670ng/ml, respectively. At baseline, 0ng/ml is the expected plasma EFV concentration for patients about to commence treatment; however, two out of twenty patients had 769.9 and 1,183ng/ml drug levels in their system. Post treatment, plasma EFV levels in patients are expected to range from 1,000 – 4,000ng/ml, however, of the twenty patients, two had <1,000ng/ml, and three patients had >4,000ng/ml in their plasma. For Pol amplification, 35% (7/20) were positively amplified at baseline and 25% (5/20) were positively amplified from the follow-ups; 100% (20/20) samples were amplified for both CYP2B6 and MDR1 genes. Detection of drug resistance in the baseline Pol sequences revealed the absence of major mutations in both NRTI and NNRTI drug classes. The G516T polymorphism was present in 15% of the study participants while the homozygous GG and heterozygous GT genotype was present in 25% and 40% of the study participants, respectively. Allele determination was impossible in 20% of the samples, due to the poor nature of the sequence. The homozygous TT variant polymorphism at position 3435 was absent in the entire population, however, the CC and CT genotype was present in 15% and 85% of the study participants respectively. Analysis of EFV concentration in close proximity with the human genetic characteristics reveals that the presence of a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism affects the pharmacokinetic output observed. Discussion and Conclusion: Post treatment, 90% of the study participants indicate adherence to treatment, with only 10% of them having lower than expected EFV concentrations, implying they were non-adherent to their treatment. However, because plasma drug concentrations only reflect a patient’s adherence pattern for a few hours to at most two days, the adherence patterns of these individuals cannot be concluded with certainty. Using plasma EFV as a biomarker to evaluate adherence to treatment in HIV seropositive individuals is a feasible technique, however, its application in non-research settings is still a drawback due to the cost of the method. Characterizing patient inter-individual differences should be taken into consideration, especially since any polymorphism in their transporter and metabolizing genes may influence their overall treatment success.

Повний текст джерелаThe purpose of this study was to profile selected cardiovascular disease risk factors among HIV patients on ART in Bushbuckridge sub-district. Quantitative, crosssectional research was conducted to describe cardiovascular disease risk factors among HIV patients on ART in Bushbuckridge Sub-district. Data collection was done using researcher-administered questionnaires. Adult HIV patient on ART participated in the study (n=328). The study has highlighted cardiovascular disease risk factors and prevalence of cardiovascular disease risk factors among HIV patients on ART. The findings revealed the prevalence of hypertension is 34.6% among HIV patients on ART and men had a higher prevalence compared to women. There is an increase in body mass index and it is seen mostly among women. Alcohol consumption is highest in the young adults (18 to 24 years) both men and women. Health promotion and policymaking interventions need to improve strategies on management and prevention of cardiovascular disease risk factors.

Повний текст джерелаThe aim of the study was to explore the experiences of adult offenders living with HIV (OLWHIV) not qualifying for antiretroviral therapy (ART). Such offenders are put on the pre-antiretroviral therapy (pre-ART) program after HIV diagnosis. Follow up of OLWHIV is done every six months to ensure prompt treatment. Research objectives include exploration of experiences of OLWHIV on the pre-ART program, the accessibility of the program and the challenges thereof. An exploratory, qualitative study with face-to-face interviews was conducted. Purposive sampling of the eight participants was done to conduct the study. Seven out of eight participants accessed the pre-ART program well but had little knowledge of the pre-ART program. Furthermore, participants experienced little support from partners and health care workers. The study showed institutional constraints such as poor diet, shortage of staff and humiliation from Correctional officers. Participants portrayed commitment in the support group irrespective of the challenges experienced. The study further showed that the self-care theory could enhance the pre-ART program but that institutional constraints deterred the progress. Participants made recommendations such as strengthening of partnerships for support groups, good diet, and an increase of staff capacity. Overall study recommendations include implementation of universal test and treat and mixed methods for future studies.
