From November 2020-July 2021, data were gathered cohort database, medical records, the National AIDS Program. Of 811 eligible AYA-PHIV, 93% alive; median 22.3 (IQR...
Objectives: To evaluate the carotid intima–media thickness (cIMT) in perinatally HIV-infected adolescents and factors associated with cardiovascular abnormalities. Designs: A cross-sectional study was conducted who had no known condition healthy controls. Methods: Transthoracic echocardiogram cIMT measurements were taken by pediatric cardiologists. Serum lipid profiles, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide measured. Results: Hundred 50 enrolled....
Abstract Introduction Young adults with perinatally acquired HIV (YA‐PHIV) are facing transitions to adult life. This study assessed health risk behaviours (including substance use), mental health, quality of life (QOL) and treatment outcomes Thai YA‐PHIV. Methods A cross‐sectional was conducted in YA‐PHIV aged 18–25 years who were enrolled a prospective cohort at five tertiary paediatric care centres Thailand. Study data obtained through face‐to‐face interviews from November 2020 July 2021....
We assessed the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among 101 perinatally HIV-infected Thai adolescents receiving antiretroviral therapy. Median age was 14.3 (interquartile range 13.0–15.7) years, and 90% had a HIV RNA <50 copies/mL. The median range) 25-hydroxyvitamin (25-OHD) level 24.8 (6.9–46.9) ng/mL; 25 (24.7%) (25-OHD <20 ng/mL) 47 (46.5%) insufficiency 20–30 ng/mL). Adolescents with significantly higher parathyroid hormone levels (54.9 vs. 40.2 pg/mL, P < 0.007). No associations...
Recombinant acellular pertussis (ap) vaccines containing genetically inactivated toxin (PTgen) and filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) with or without tetanus (TT) diphtheria (DT) (Td) were found safe immunogenic in non-pregnant pregnant women. We report here maternal antibody transfer safety data mothers neonates. This is the follow up of a phase 2 trial 2019 among 400 women who randomly received one dose recombinant pertussis-only vaccine 1 µg PTgen FHA (ap1gen), Td combined ap1gen (Tdap1gen),...
Integrative mental health care in HIV patients is an important contributor to successful therapy. This a cross-sectional study youth and young adults who attend routine clinic at tertiary centre Bangkok. We recruited 100 130 living with evaluate the frequency of depression anxiety associated sociodemographic including sexual orientation health-related behaviours. Overall, about fifth participants had significant or anxiety. Interestingly, we found different factors HIV. Loss their father,...
This open-labeled non-inferiority trial evaluated immunogenicity and reactogenicity of heterologous homologous COVID-19 vaccination schedules in pregnant Thai women. 18–45-year-old women with no history infection or a gestational age ≥12 weeks were randomized 1:1:1 into three two-dose primary series scheduled 4 apart: BNT162b2-BNT162b2 (Group 1), ChAdOx1-BNT162b2 2), CoronaVac-BNT162b2 3). Serum antibody responses, maternal cord blood levels at delivery, adverse events (AEs) following until...
A phase 2 randomized-controlled safety and immunogenicity trial evaluating different doses of recombinant acellular pertussis vaccine containing genetically-inactivated toxin (PTgen) was conducted in women childbearing age Thailand to identify formulations advance a pregnant women. total 250 were randomized 1:1:1:1:1 receive one dose three investigational vaccines including low-dose pertussis-only 1 μg PTgen FHA (ap1gen), tetanus, reduced-dose diphtheria (Td) combined ap1gen (Tdap1gen) or 5...
Background: Adolescents and young adults with HIV (AYHIV) are at high-risk of loss to follow up virologic failure, particularly during transition from pediatric adult clinics. Methods: We reviewed the medical records AYHIV characterize retention suppression following their transition. Results: 101 AYHIV, 97% perinatally infected, were transferred median age 20 (IQR: 19-21) years. At 1-year post-transition, 92.1% retained in care 73.3% had viral 2-years 87.1% 76.7%, respectively.
