Uptake of retroviral pre-exposure prophylaxis and its associated factors among female sex workers, Northwest Ethiopia
CONCLUSION: This study showed low pre-exposure prophylaxis uptake. The study identified a history of sexually transmitted infections, marital status, and parent living conditions as significant factors. To increase pre-exposure prophylaxis uptake and reduce HIV incidence, an awareness campaign, tailored support, targeted interventions, and addressing concerns of high-risk groups are needed.PMID:37926821 | PMC:PMC10626692 | DOI:10.1186/s12981-023-00573-5 (Source: AIDS Research and Therapy)

Strategies to improve the care of older adults 50 years and above living with HIV in Uganda
CONCLUSIONS: There is need to improve community HIV care especially for the elderly and social and economic support in the community. Involving the elderly PLHIV in developing strategies to improve their health goes a long way to improve the patients' quality of care. There is a need to incorporate the raised strategies in HIV care or older adults.PMID:37925468 | PMC:PMC10625693 | DOI:10.1186/s12981-023-00550-y (Source: AIDS Research and Therapy)

Mixed methods implementation research to understand success of intensive combination approach to roll back the epidemic in Nigerian adolescents) (iCARE Nigeria) HIV testing uptake and linkage to care among young men focusing on young men who have sex with men in Ibadan
CONCLUSION: Mixed methods using implementation research frameworks provided insights into the strategies and barriers and facilitators they addressed which may explain the success of the pilot. These results can inform strategies needed to scale-up the intervention to youth including YMSM in other areas in Nigeria and the region.TRIAL REGISTRATION ISRCTN: ISRCTN94590823, https://doi.org/10.1186/ISRCTN94590823.PMID:37904200 | PMC:PMC10617228 | DOI:10.1186/s12981-023-00574-4 (Source: AIDS Research and Therapy)

Current ART, determinants for virologic failure and implications for HIV drug resistance: an umbrella review
CONCLUSION: The resistance to HIV drugs and instances of determinants for virologic failure have a profound impact on the life quality of those infected with HIV. Primary contributors to this scenario include insufficient adherence to treatment, decreased CD4 T-cell count, elevated viral levels, and certain treatment regimens. Implementing appropriate interventions could address these issues. Sub-Saharan Africa exhibits elevated rates of determinants for virologic failure, attributed to the delay in HIV testing and diagnosis, and late initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART). It is essential to undertake further research...
