Missed opportunities for HIV testing and sexual health-related challenges in an individual with intellectual disability: a case report
CONCLUSION: Due to the presence of existing indicator conditions, an earlier HIV diagnosis was possible. We contend that most of the recent illnesses could have been prevented if earlier testing had been carried out. Therefore, patients presenting with AIDS indicator conditions, including those with mental disabilities, should be given the opportunity to be tested for HIV. HIV/AIDS trainings should be made available to health care professionals as well as to personnel interacting with vulnerable groups.PMID:38581028 | PMC:PMC10996268 | DOI:10.1186/s12981-024-00606-7 (Source: AIDS Research and Therapy)

Secondary syphilis presenting with alopecia and leukoderma in a stable HIV-positive patient in a resource-limited setting: a case report
CONCLUSION: This case demonstrates the importance of a high index of clinical suspicion and testing for syphilis in patients presenting with atypical clinical features of secondary syphilis, such as hair loss and hypopigmentation. It also highlights the challenges in diagnosing and clinically managing syphilis in a resource-limited setting.PMID:38561779 | PMC:PMC10986119 | DOI:10.1186/s12981-024-00603-w (Source: AIDS Research and Therapy)

Presence of tuberculosis symptoms among HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) in Zimbabwe
AIDS Res Ther. 2024 Mar 28;21(1):18. doi: 10.1186/s12981-024-00605-8.ABSTRACTWe conducted secondary data analysis using a biobehavioral survey dataset of 1538 MSM from Zimbabwe. Survey participants were screened for the four symptoms suggestive of tuberculosis infection using the WHO TB screening algorithm. Results: All participants experienced at least one symptom suggestive of tuberculosis. 40% of HIV-positive MSM reported having had a cough in the last month and 13% of them experienced unexpected weight loss. The prevalence of experiencing any of the four TB symptoms amongst HIV-positive MSM was 23%. Contribution There ...
