Prevalence of depression among people living with HIV in rural hospitals in South-Western Nigeria-Association with clinico-demographic factors
This study estimated the prevalence and explored factors associated with depression among PLWH in two rural secondary health facilities providing anti-retroviral therapy (ART) services in Southwestern Nigeria between September and December 2020. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) was used to screen and identify PLWH aged 18 years or older with depression. Descriptive statistics, bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed with SPSS version 23. A total of 172 respondents were screened. The prevalence of depression was 16.3% (95% CI 11.1%, 22.7%). Mild, moderate, and moderately severe depression was identified...

Determinants of survival of adolescents receiving antiretroviral therapy in the Centre Region of Cameroon: a multi-centered cohort-analysis
CONCLUSION: Although ADLHIV have good survival rate on ART after 1 year, we observe poor survival rates after 5 years and especially 10 years of treatment experience. Mitigating measures against poor survival should target those living in rural settings, anemic at baseline, or experiencing poor retention in care.PMID:38098059 | PMC:PMC10722663 | DOI:10.1186/s12981-023-00584-2 (Source: AIDS Research and Therapy)

Addressing HIV stigma in healthcare, community, and legislative settings in Central and Eastern Europe
CONCLUSIONS: HIV stigma and intersectional stigma in CEE drive poor engagement with HIV testing services and care. Widespread adoption of evidence-based interventions to tackle stigma highlighted in this review will improve the quality of life of people living with HIV, improve HIV care engagement, and ultimately slow the surging HIV prevalence and concentrated epidemics occurring throughout CEE.PMID:38082352 | PMC:PMC10714556 | DOI:10.1186/s12981-023-00585-1 (Source: AIDS Research and Therapy)
