Filter by:This study will evaluate an intervention's feasibility, acceptability and efficacy potential in a one-arm trial with Romanian transgender and gender diverse (e.g., gender non-binary) (TGD) individuals who report depression or anxiety. The intervention will consist of 16 1-hour sessions delivered by our trained therapists on Zoom. These sessions are based on 6 principles of LGBTQ-affirming CBT, as follows: (1) normalizing mood and anxiety as a common response to LGBTQ related stress; (2) challenging persistent, inflexible LGBQ-related stress-induced cognitions; (3) encouraging assertive behavior and open self-expression to effectively cope with the consequences of LGBTQ-related stress; (4) validating lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBTQ) clients' unique strengths; (5) building authentic relationships as an essential resource for LGBTQ people's mental health; and (6) recognizing intersectional identities as a source of stress and resilience.
This is a cohort study on HIV-1 patients treated in outpatient and inpatient wards of Tangerang District Hospital. The participant will be interviewed and retrieved for their demographics, treatment history, CD4 and viral load history. Blood will be drawn for HIV-1 viral load examination using Xpert® HIV-1 Viral Load [Cepheid], in-house qRT-PCR, and REALTIME HIV-1 VIRAL LOAD [Abbott]
In children, data from the literature find a higher prevalence of asthma in the population treated for HIV. Bronchial hyperreactivity, indicative of chronic inflammation and bronchial obstruction, is also present. Screening for early peripheral obstruction could therefore make it possible to initiate appropriate anti-inflammatory treatment, if necessary, and early preventive management.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of using a whole food plant-based diet in the reduction of cardiovascular risk related to HIV in people who live with HIV infection. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does a whole food plant-based diet, nonrestrictive in calories and low in fat, reduce the cardiovascular risk associated with HIV infection in people with HIV infection? - Does the whole food plant-based diet permit achievement goals in specific metabolic markers of cardiovascular risk (such as Cholesterol, C Reactive Protein)? Participants will follow a non-calorie restricted, low fat, whole food plant-based diet for 8 weeks Researchers will compare standard nutritional care to see if there is a difference in the main outcomes
The purpose of this study is to develop, conduct, and assess the feasibility of a) a pilot peer-driven intervention (PDI) to reduce HIV risk and increase the uptake of primary HIV prevention services (i.e. prison addiction treatment programs), and b) explore the PDI's usefulness from the perspective of both prisoners and prison staff to make recommendations for the PDI future improvement and adaptation.
Key populations at risk of HIV (including men who have sex with men, people who inject drugs, transgender women, and female sex workers) are more likely to be infected with HIV but less likely than members of the general population to know of their HIV status, receive HIV prevention counseling, or be linked to HIV care services. Clinician stigma towards these groups remains a potent and persistent driver of these HIV disparities in many places of the world. The investigators propose to incorporate evidence-based stigma reduction tools into a popular teletraining platform for clinicians and pilot test the resulting intervention (Project ECHO® for HIV Prevention and Stigma Reduction) with clinicians in Malaysia, a context wherein clinician stigma and HIV disparities are substantial.
The goal of this randomised controlled trial is to evaluate the efficacy of an integrated intervention program on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and related physiological and psychological indicators of people living with HIV (PLWH). The main question it aims to answer are: - to evaluate the efficacy of the intervention program on PTSD symptoms and related physiological and psychological indicators of PLWH through empirical research. - to analyze the mechanism of the intervention. Eligible PLWH were recruited and randomly divided as intervention group and control group. The efficacy of Trauma Resiliency Mindfulness-Informed Intervention on PTSD symptoms and related physiological and psychological indicators in PLWH was evaluated at baseline, after intervention, and 3 months after intervention through this randomized controlled trial. Researchers compared the intervention group and control group to see if it was feasible and had potential clinical value to introduce the Trauma Resiliency Mindfulness-Informed intervention program into the management of PLWH in China.
The aim of this 2- arm randomized-control study is to determine the effect of an oral hygiene self care intervention on the oral health status and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of HIV-positive children (age: 8-16 years, n=172) presenting to five pediatric HIV clinics in Kano, Nigeria. The intervention will comprise oral health education and instructions on oral self-care. Data on oral health status and OHRQoL will be obtained at baseline and at 1, 3 and 6 months. Study findings will help inform policies to improve the oral health and OHRQoL of HIV-positive Nigerian children and guide the integration of oral health care services into HIV programs.
Programs which go beyond individual-level behavior change to reduce HIV and STI infections among adolescent girls and young women in sub-Saharan Africa are essential to meet global HIV targets. Informed, Motivated, Aware and Responsible Adolescents and Adults- South Africa (IMARA-SA) is an evidence-based HIV-prevention intervention for adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) and their female caregivers, which has been adapted for a South African audience. This pilot study will assess feasibility in preparation for a randomized controlled trial (RCT). Additionally, the pilot will examine the preliminary effectiveness of IMARA-SA in reducing sexually transmitted infections (STI) and increasing uptake of HIV testing and counseling (HTC) and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) at follow-up among AGYW. About 60 AGYW-FC dyads will be enrolled and randomized to IMARA-SA or a health-promotion control arm. Following randomization, the dyads will participate in an ~2-day group workshop (~10 hours), which includes joint and separate mother and daughter activities. AGYW and FC will complete baseline assessments and follow-up assessments approximately 6 months later. Assessments will include surveys, STIs testing (for chlamydia and gonorrhea), and uptake of HTC and a 1-month PrEP prescription. Additionally, the intervention's implementation (e.g., acceptability) will be explored.
This relative bioavailability (RBA) study will be conducted to investigate whether there is a potential pharmacokinetic effect when paediatric DTG and F/TAF are taken together as dispersible formulations. This study will be performed in healthy volunteers instead of HIV-infected patients.
