Background Multistage stepwise HIV testing and treatment initiation procedures can result in lost opportunities to provide timely antiretroviral therapy (ART). Incomplete patient engagement along the continuum of care translates into high levels preventable mortality. We aimed evaluate ability a simplified test treat structural intervention reduce Methods Findings In "pre-intervention 2010" (from January 2010 December 2010) 2011" 2011 2011) phases, patients who screened HIV-positive at...
The existing literature suggests a negative impact of intersectional stigma on multiple aspects psychosocial well-being among individuals with stigmatized identities. However, such remains poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the association between and 193 men who have sex (MSM) living HIV. Based their responses measures HIV-related sexual gender minority (SGM) stigma, participants were grouped into "high" vs "low" each type stigma. General Linear Model (GLM) was used analyze...
Men who have sex with men (MSM) represent the fastest growing key population for incident HIV cases in China. We examined five consecutive years of and syphilis prevalence risk factors data among MSM Guangxi Province second highest estimated number people living HIV/AIDS (PLWHAs) China 2011. collected demographic behavioral from national sentinel surveillance HIV/syphilis blood samples annual cross-sectional surveys 2008 to 2012. analyzed trends stratified by social/behavioral...
Introduction Female sex workers (FSWs) are at highest risk for contracting HIV and facilitating the current heterosexual epidemic in Guangxi, China, yet little is known of impact recent harm reduction campaigns province. We analyzed sentinel surveillance data collected between 2010 2012 Guangxi to explore correlations prevalence HIV, hepatitis C (HCV), syphilis behaviors different categories FSWs Guangxi. Methods The 5,1790 all 14 prefectures 64 city/county regions China from were collected....

Results from path analyses revealed that main were significant both anxiety. interaction had Simple slope tests more...
Abstract Background The widespread use of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has resulted in the development transmitted drug resistance (TDR), which reduces ART efficacy. We explored TDR prevalence and its associated risk factors newly diagnosed individuals Guangxi. Methods enrolled 1324 participants who were with HIV-1 had not received at voluntary counselling testing centres (VCT) Guangxi, China, ART. Phylogenetic relationship, transmission cluster, genotypic analyses performed using pol...
Abstract Current WHO guidelines recommend initiating ART regardless of CD4+ cell count. In response, we conducted an observational cohort study to assess the effects pre-ART count levels on death, attrition, and death or attrition in HIV treated patients. This large treatment (n = 49,155) from 2010 2015 was Guangxi, China. We used a Cox regression model analyze associations between counts attrition. The average mortality rates among all patients were 2.63 deaths 5.32 attritions per 100...
Clients of female sex workers (CFSWs) are a bridge population for the spread HIV and syphilis to low or average risk heterosexuals. Most studies have examined point prevalence these infections in CFSWs. Limited evidence suggests that older age CFSWs at higher acquiring sexually transmitted diseases compared with younger clients. Thus, we sought describe long-term trends HIV, syphilis, hepatitis C (HCV) better understand how differ by worker classification client age. We also HCV among...
Abstract Background Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has reduced mortality among people living with HIV (PLWH) in China, but co-infections of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and C (HCV) may individually or jointly reduce the effect ART. This study aimed to evaluate impacts HBV/HCV coinfections on treatment drop-out PLWH Methods A retrospective cohort analysis 58 239 who initiated antiretroviral during 2010–2018 was conducted Guangxi Province, China.

Heterosexual intercourse accounted for 93% of reported HIV cases in Guangxi, and Guangxi had 10% China's total number cases. Older men are particularly vulnerable to STIs, example, 46% Guangxi's were over 50 years age.

Previous research indicates that medication side effects are perceived to be significant barrier of high adherence. Data regarding the role self-efficacy mediating relationship between from and limited; thus, this study examines potential mediational self-efficacy. A cross-sectional survey 2987 people living with HIV aged ≥18 years was conducted 2012–2013...
