Cross-resistance after first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) failure is expected to impair activity of nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) in second-line for patients with HIV, but evidence the effect cross-resistance on virological outcomes limited. We aimed assess association between activity, predicted by resistance testing, NRTIs used and treatment infected HIV.We did an observational analysis additional data from a published open-label, randomised trial ART (EARNEST)...
One of the most critical impacts COVID-19 pandemic was on food security. Food insecurity increased in many communities, with some showing signs resilience through autonomously creating community kitchens that enhanced security and built support networks. These initiatives filled gaps left by government programmes provided a lifeline for vulnerable communities during pandemic, fostering solidarity. This paper aims to investigate experiences perceptions kitchen managers addressing using town...
Millions of HIV-infected people worldwide receive antiretroviral therapy (ART) in programmes using WHO-recommended standardised regimens. Recent WHO guidelines recommend a boosted protease inhibitor plus raltegravir as an alternative second-line combination. We assessed whether this treatment option offers any advantage over the standard two nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) combination after 144 weeks follow-up typical programme settings.
Involvement of undergraduate health professions students (HPS) in research will facilitate evidence-based clinical practice among future healthcare practitioners. This study aimed to assess involvement HPS and associated factors Uganda.A cross-sectional was conducted using an online assessment tool sent through WhatsApp groups E-mail addresses 12 medical schools Uganda between 20th September 5th October 2021.We enrolled 398 participants with a mean age 23.9 ± 3.7 years. Of this, 267 (67.1%)...
To practice adequate Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) measures, health professional students need to have knowledge of IPC. In this study, we assessed the at Makerere University College Health Sciences on Control.We conducted a cross-sectional online survey among studying located in Kampala, Uganda. An adapted questionnaire was used measure students.A total 202 were included study. The mean age 24.43 years. Majority male 63.37% (n = 128), from school medicine 70.79% 143) one source...
Abstract The spread of COVID-19 in Peru resulted the declaration a national health emergency, which Indigenous peoples were identified as being particularly vulnerable due to their pre-existing poor indicators and disadvantaged social conditions. aim this paper is examine how Peruvian government responded food needs Shawi Ashaninka during first 18 months pandemic (March 2020–August 2021). This study uses both official policy documents real-world experiences evaluate responses terms immediate...
Limited viral load (VL) testing in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) treatment programs low-income countries often delays detection of failure. The impact remaining on failing protease inhibitor (PI)-containing regimens is unclear.We retrospectively tested VL 2164 stored plasma samples from 386 patients randomized to receive lopinavir monotherapy (after initial raltegravir induction) the Europe-Africa Research Network for Evaluation Second-line Therapy (EARNEST) trial. Protease genotypic...
The second wave of COVID-19 greatly affected the health care and education systems in Uganda, due to infection itself lockdowns instituted. Double masking has been suggested as a safe alternative double-layered masks, where quality latter may not be guaranteed. This study aimed determine patterns double mask use among undergraduate medical students at Makerere University, Uganda.We conducted descriptive cross-sectional using an online questionnaire. All enrolled College Health Sciences;...
7-11 November 2010, Tenth International Congress on Drug Therapy in HIV Infection, Glasgow, UK The SARA trial recently demonstrated a non-inferior CD4 response, over median follow-up of 60 weeks, with boosted protease inhibitor monotherapy (bPImono) maintenance second-line regimen compared continuous combination therapy (CT), suggesting this approach could maintain effectiveness whilst improving tolerability and decreasing costs [International AIDS Conference LBPE16]. Analysis virological...
We investigated phenotypic and genotypic resistance after 2 years of first-line therapy with two HIV treatment regimens in the absence virological monitoring. NORA [Nevirapine OR Abacavir study, a sub-study Development AntiRetroviral Therapy Africa (DART) trial] randomized 600 symptomatic HIV-infected Ugandan adults (CD4 cell count <200 cells/mm3) to receive zidovudine/lamivudine plus abacavir (cABC arm) or nevirapine (cNVP arm). All tests were performed retrospectively, including on week 96...
Introduction: Globally, the HIV burden continues to rise among young people despite discovery of ART. This study assessed demographic and psycho-social factors associated with readiness be initiated on ART.
 Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional was conducted newly diagnosed positive aged 15-24 years at 4 clinics Mulago Hospital. Readiness measured as a self-report by individual question,“How ready do you feel start ART?
 Results: Of 231 enrolled, mean age (SD) 20.7years (+/-2.8)...
