Support, not blame: safe partner disclosure among women diagnosed with HIV late in pregnancy in South Africa and Uganda
CONCLUSION: HIV diagnosis late in pregnancy amplifies existing difficulties among pregnant women. Late ANC initiation is an indicator for the likelihood that a pregnant woman is highly vulnerable and needs safeguarding. Respective health programmes should be prepared to offer women initiating ANC late in pregnancy additional support and referral to complementary programmes to achieve safe partner disclosure and good health.PMID:38481233 | DOI:10.1186/s12981-024-00600-z (Source: AIDS Research and Therapy)

Diffuse myocardial fibrosis is uncommon in people with perinatally acquired human immunodeficiency virus infection
CONCLUSION: Perinatally-acquired HIV was not associated with diffuse myocardial fibrosis. Larger prospective studies with serial examinations are needed to determine whether pnHIV patients develop abnormal structure or function more often than unaffected controls.PMID:38439093 | PMC:PMC10913218 | DOI:10.1186/s12981-024-00598-4 (Source: AIDS Research and Therapy)

Brief communication: body composition and hidden obesity in people living with HIV on antiretroviral therapy
CONCLUSIONS: PLWH are more likely to have obesity than the general population, indicating that hidden obesity is common even among those with a normal BMI. It is important to measure body fat percentage along with body weight, as hidden obesity can be missed. Further investigation of the effects of ART on body composition is needed.PMID:38429716 | PMC:PMC10905848 | DOI:10.1186/s12981-024-00599-3 (Source: AIDS Research and Therapy)

Factors associated with knowledge of mother-to-child transmission of HIV among reproductive-age women in Indonesia: a multilevel analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Knowledge of MTCT of HIV was slightly above average. The study findings on the factors associated with knowledge of MTCT of HIV provide evidence for policymakers and clinicians to utilize in the quest to eliminate MTCT of HIV among children. We recommend that awareness programs should consider the key findings from this study when delivering public education or when developing interventions to improve women's knowledge on MTCT of HIV.PMID:38378639 | PMC:PMC10877741 | DOI:10.1186/s12981-024-00596-6 (Source: AIDS Research and Therapy)
