Filter by:This cross-sectional survey will be conducted prospectively in 2 communes in the Battambang Province, Roka and Prey Khpos commune. The principal objective of the study is to compare HIV and HCV prevalence rates in three groups of subjects as follows: - Group 1: subjects living in Roka and Ambaeng Thngae villages where most of HIV and HCV cases were identified during the Roka outbreak in 2014-2015 - Group 2: subjects living in the other 4 villages of the Roka commune (Ta Haen I and II, Pou Batdambang, and Chhung Tradak) - Group 3: subjects living in selected villages from Prey Khpos commune 1,098 eligible residents will be selected using three-stage cluster sampling method. A structure questionnaire will assess the medical injection practices through face-to-face interview. The study will be conducted into two steps. The first step will be a prevalence study to assess HIV and HCV prevalence rates in three groups of subject; Group 1: subjects living in Roka and Ambaeng Thngae villages where most of HIV and HCV cases were identified during the Roka outbreak; Group 2: subjects living in the other 4 villages of the Roka commune (Ta Haen I and II, Pou Batdambang, and Chhung Tradak) and Group 3: subjects living in villages from Prey Khpos commune).The second step will be the phylogenetic study of HIV. The phylogenetic study of HIV will be performed ONLY if HIV prevalence rates among group 2 and/or group 3 is higher or equal to 0.7% (upper limit of confidence interval of HIV prevalence estimated in Cambodia)
The program " Au labo sans ordo " aims to increase HIV testing coverage, in order to improve the first stage of the HIV care cascade in Paris and the Alpes-Maritimes, areas facing a much higher HIV epidemic than the other regions in metropolitan France. Both departments are engaged in the Fast Track Cities Initiative.
This pragmatic, multisite, implementation and effectiveness research evaluates a strategy to improve HIV treatment outcomes (increased rates of patients on ART with virological suppression, improved treatment retention and ART adherence) for people living with HIV (PLWH) with opioid use disorder (OUD). Engaging 4 large regional HIV/AIDS treatment centers in Malaysia, the study will evaluate barriers and facilitators for implementation of improved care model and will evaluate the comparative effectiveness of the model in a clinical trial. The research will provide critically important evidence for implementation of effective Seek-Test-Treat, and Retain models for PLWH and OUD throughout Malaysia and inform healthcare policy in other low to middle income countries and regions with limited healthcare resources.
This study compares several different antiretroviral adherence measures, including digital pills, in HIV+ individuals who are maintained on opioid analgesics.
Adapted athletic activity has shown benefits in patients with certain chronic diseases, including improving fatigue and pain in patients with cancer, and improving the symptoms of severe depression. Among Patients Living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (PLHIV), sport appears to be less common than for people who do not live with HIV. In fact, 44% of PLHIV in a Swiss cohort (10,500 patients) were inactive in 2014, whereas this percentage was 26% in the general population in Switzerland. We did not find any French data on the prevalence of sports activity among PLHIV. The benefits of sport in PLHIV are numerous: meta-analyzes on interventional studies of aerobic and resistance exercises show a significant improvement in maximum oxygen consumption, muscle strength, percentage of body fat, quality of life and symptoms of depression. An improvement in cognitive function was noted in a randomized study. An Iranian randomized study of 2017 showed an improvement in the CD4 count, after 8 weeks of resistive exercise, but two meta-analyzes of 2016 and 2017 did not find a significant change in CD4 or viral load with physical exercise. On the other hand, several studies have shown that sports practice improves self-esteem. In addition, an Australian randomized study in 2006 showed an improvement in self-efficacy in PLHIVs after a six-month exercise (aerobic and resistance) program. Furthermore, self-esteem (defined as positive self-esteem) is a factor facilitating adherence to antiretroviral therapy. The objective of this descriptive study is to evaluate the prevalence of sports activity in a French adult population infected with HIV and to seek an association with self-esteem. In addition, the investigators will look for an association between sport and fatigue, pain, sleep, lymphocyte T CD4 cell levels, viral load.
Evaluation of antiretroviral treatment adherence using determination of Bictegravir, Emtricitabine and Tenofovir with new HIV patients in France
The objective of this research is to measure the short- and mid-term effects of an empowerment program focused on serostatus disclosure management for women living with HIV (WLHIV) in Mali on the "burden of secrecy".
HIV virus is an etiologic agent of ( AIDS ) immunodeficiency syndrome . It is known that the estimated rate of transfer from mother to baby is 25% to 45%, pregnancy rate is 5-10%, pregnancy rate is 15-20% and in lactation period is 5-10%. Risk factors; maternal viral load, breastfeeding, vaginal birth, and prematurity. Although there is a high rate of false positivity in prenatal screening in our country, one of the factors affecting this is the number of pregnancies.
This is a prospective, qualitative study consisting of observation and audio recording of the initial physician-patient consultations in newly diagnosed cancer patients occurring at the Duke University Medical Center (DUMC). Semi-structured debriefing interviews with participating oncologists and patients will follow the initial encounter.
The present study will try to investigate and analyze the psycho-social hindrances and levers concerning the recourse to late HIV testing among the MSM population. This study is divided in two parts. The first one will consist of individual and groups interviews. Then, depending on the items that will rise from the first part of the study, groups interview will take place based on theses items. Finally, a questionnaire build from the collected information will be sent to MSM community in order to obtain quantitative results.
