Abstract Opportunistic infections are the leading cause of mortality among HIV-infected people. Several simple interventions prevent illness, prolong life, or HIV transmission from people in Africa. These include: cotrimoxazole prophylaxis; insecticide-treated bed nets; supplies for household water treatment and safe storage; materials promoting family voluntary counselling testing (VCT); condoms. We provided these to adults children with who were members AIDS Support Organization Uganda. To...
Objective To assess trends in the prevalence of HIV infection among voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) clients Uganda to describe utility VCT data for monitoring epidemic 1992–2000. Methods We analyzed routinely collected from first-time not reporting illness as a reason testing. developed model adjusting test site, couple testing, premarital assessed adjusted shifts age-specific peak prevalence, compared antenatal clinic (ANC) surveillance trends. Results Among 201,741 clients, declined...
Objectives: To estimate HIV incidence from first-time testers among voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) clients in Uganda. Methods: Data on 203,000 VCT tested 1992 through 2003 were adjusted for temporal changes the population. Differential mortality rates by status used to derive expected prevalence at future times baseline within 5-year birth cohorts. Incidence was computed as proportion of HIV-uninfected persons who seroconverted divided negative baseline. Results: Annual per 100...
An HIV/AIDS model that incorporates gradual behaviour change is formulated with a variable force of infection for the adult population. The variability modelled using general function time since introduction initial infective and exemplified three specific functions. Expressions taken reproductive number to reduce unity expressions attain stationary steady state are deduced discussed. Model projections urban, peri-urban rural Uganda compared corresponding antenatal clinic sites prevalence...
Objectives: To compare HIV prevalence from routine voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) data with a population-based serosurvey in Uganda to assess the utility of VCT as supplemental source for surveillance. Methods: We analyzed 75,640 unique clients aged 15-59 years collected August 2004 January 2005 at 160 sites. excluded who reported illness reason testing. During same time period, 18,525 adults were tested HIV/AIDS Sero-Behavioral Survey (UHSBS). compared UHSBS age-standardized...
An HIV/AIDS model incorporating complacency for the adult population is formulated. Complacency assumed a function of number AIDS cases in community with an inverse relation. A method to find equilibrium state given by proving stated theorem. example illustrate use theorem also given. Model analysis and simulations show that resulting from dependence HIV transmission on leads damped periodic oscillations infectives more marked at lower rates progression AIDS. The implications these results...
A single-staged (SS) model and a staged progression (SP) for HIV/AIDS with the same variable contact rate over time were formulated. In both models, analytical expressions HIV prevalence obtained. comparison of two models was undertaken. It is shown that projections from SS are lower than SP up to beyond peak prevalence, although may be higher much later in epidemic. switch faster changes occurs prevalence. Hence using underestimates early stages epidemic but overestimate declining phase....
Background Globally, suboptimal vaccine coverage is a public health concern. According to Uganda’s 2016 Demographic and Health Survey, only 49% of 12- 23-month-old children received all recommended vaccinations by 12 months age. Innovative ways are needed increase coverage, reduce dropout, awareness among caregivers bring for timely vaccination. Objective This study evaluates personalized, automated caregiver mobile phone–delivered text message reminder intervention the proportion who start...
