Despite several preventative and control measures Ethiopia continues to see an increase in cervical cancer. Comprehensive evidence is very important to suggest ministry of health. Therefore, the aim of this study is to estimate the pooled violence of Precancerous Cervical Lesion and to identify associated factors among women living with HIV AIDS in Ethiopia.

We aimed to develop and validate a tool to identify which pregnant/lactating young South African women (≤24 years) are at risk of HIV infection. Data from three national South African Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) evaluations were used to internally validate three HIV acquisition risk models for young postpartum women.

This is despite consistent condom use being a tested and proven public health intervention to prevent unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. Considering the high fertility rate, teenage pregnancy rate, and the rapidly increasing incidence of HIV in the country, we identified the determinants of consistent condom use in the Philippines.

Human immunity relies on the coordinated responses of many cellular subsets and functional states. Inter-individual variations in cellular composition and communication could thus potentially alter host protection. Here, we explore this hypothesis by applying single-cell RNA-sequencing to examine viral responses among the dendritic cells (DCs) of three elite controllers (ECs) of HIV-1 infection.

RNA viruses such as HCV and HIV mutate at extremely high rates, and as a result, they exist in infected hosts as populations of genetically related variants. Recent advances in sequencing technologies make possible to identify such populations at great depth. In particular, these technologies provide new opportunities for inference of relatedness between viral samples, identification of transmission clusters and sources of infection, which are crucial tasks for viral outbreaks investigations.

Sputum smear conversion is a key indicator of treatment response and reduced infectivity among bacteriologically confrmed pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients. This study aimed at estimating sputum smear conversion and identifying factors hindering sputum smear conversion among bacteriologically confrmed PTB cases in East Gojjam Zone, Northwest Ethiopia.

HIV infection is a known risk factor for cancer but little is known about HIV testing patterns and the burden of HIV infection in cancer patients. We did a cross-sectional analysis to identify predictors of prior HIV testing and to quantify the burden of HIV in black cancer patients in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Testing for HIV at birth has the potential to identify infants infected in utero, and allows for the possibility of beginning treatment immediately after birth; point of care (POC) testing allows rapid return of results and faster initiation on treatment for positive infants. Eswatini piloted birth testing in three public maternities for over 2 years.

As HIV-infected infants have high mortality, the World Health Organization now recommends initiating antiretroviral therapy as early as possible in the first year of life. However, in many settings, laboratory diagnosis of HIV in infants is not readily available.

Adherence to antiretroviral drugs in the treatment of paediatric HIV infection is complicated because of many factors including stigma and drug intake logistics. It is therefore important to identify children with non-adherence in order to intervene before they become at risk of developing treatment failure or drug resistance.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection and its end stage, Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), is an extremely serious problem worldwide. HIV seropositive patients with CD4 T cell count < 200 cells/μl have reported an excess risk of diarrhoea. The present study was undertaken in the at Dr. S.C.G.M.C, Nanded between November 2015 and October 2017 to identify Opportunistic Intestinal parasites in HIV positive patients presenting with or without diarrhoea and their association with CD4 T cell count.

Infants infected during pregnancy or while breastfeeding requires early HIV diagnosis at 6 weeks after birth to identify HIV infection and timely treatment. The objective of this work was to determine the prevalence and associated risk factors of HIV among HIV exposed infants in the Tigray regional state, Northern Ethiopia.

Disclosure of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) to infected older children and adolescents is essential for both personal health maintenance and HIV prevention within the larger population. Non-disclosure of HIV status has been identified as one of the potential barriers to optimum adherence especially in children and adolescents.

TB is the most common opportunistic infection (OI) among HIV infected individuals, and co infected individuals are at high risk of death. TB is the largest single cause of death in the setting of AIDS, accounting for 26% of AIDS related deaths, 99% of which occur in developing countries. HIV Associated Tuberculosis remains a major global public health challenge. Hence routine TB screening among PLWHA (People Living with HIV-AIDS) offers the opportunity to identify those without TB, helps for early diagnosis and promptly treat TB. The aims of the study are 1.

During the course of the HIV epidemic in Chiang Rai Province in Northern Thailand, incidence of tuberculosis also sharply increased. Up to the year 2002, there were no specific interventions for the prevention and control of TB infection among the household contacts of an infected person. The study aimed to identify prevalence of HIV infection and risk factors of tuberculosis infection among household contacts.

Probably the major ultimate use of outcome management is program improvement. The data provide the starting point for identifying problems, such as the information broken out by key client and service characteristics. The analysis can identify which particular client groups, which particular offices, or which particular caseworkers or clinicians are doing well, or not well. This starts off the dialogue about where problems exist, or about major accomplishments achieved.
