Padang is one of the areas in West Sumatera with the highest HIV/AIDS cases. There are 370 HIV cases and 39 AIDS cases in 2017. These cases increased in 2018 to 447 cases for HIV and 103 cases for AIDS. This study aimed to find out the description of HIV/AIDS patients who have been passed away due to socio-demography characteristics. Also to know the number of Years of Potential Life Lost (YPLL) caused by HIV/AIDS infection and its determinant factors. This study used a quantitative methodology with retrospective cohort study design and collected the data from medical records installation in RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang on patients with HIV/AIDS diagnosis that have been passed away. The data then analyzed using independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and multiple linear regression. The result showed that 186 of death cases happened on 2015-2020 were mostly dominated by man (76.34%) with the average age around 31 years old, married (65.59%), and infected through heterosexual relationship (29.03%). The average year of YPLL was 26.09 year. Moreover, this study found that there was a significant relation between ARV therapy (CI 95% P= 0.002) and the total of CD4 diagnosed with YPLL (CI 95% P= 0.0001). Therefore, respondents of productive age should get serious attention from the Government and society around. Also for the Health Office and AIDS prevention commission were expected to make innovations in preventive promotive efforts and strengthening surveillance system on HIV/AIDS either to the risky group or general society.

This article examines the views of persons living with AIDS about how they want to die and how they are planning for their deaths. Participants for the study were purposefully drawn from an HIV clinic in an urban town in Ghana. In-depth interviews were conducted with 25 persons living with AIDS. Three preferences of death were identified by the participants. These include the desire for a quick death, death at home, and death without emaciating. Planning for death involved attending church and taking care of children. Inherent in the responses of the participants is the concern for cost of care, dwindling network of family carers, and stigmatization and shame. The article concludes that the government needs to provide support for home-based care, establish a pension for AIDS patients, support families to pay for the funeral expenses of their relatives, and scale up effort to reduce HIV/AIDS-related stigma.

Aim: To determine the prevalence and factors related with the presence of oral manifestations in HIV/AIDS patients who attended health institutions in Cali-Colombia. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was made in 319 patients who attended four health institutions in the city of Cali. The inclusion criteria were: being HIV positive patients, being over 18 years old, attending medical checkups and accepting participation. Pregnant women and inmates were excluded. Results: The general prevalence of oral manifestations was 77.1% (CI 95%: 72.4-81.7). The most frequent oral manifestation was xerostomia with 41.1% (CI 95%: 35.5-46.6), followed by the manifestations from mycotic origin [(35.7% (CI 95% 30.4-41)] bacterial [34.2% (CI 95%: 28.9-39.4)] virals [16.6 (CI 95% 12.5-20.7)], oral ulcers [7.5 (CI 95%: 4.6-10.4)] and neoplastics [3.8 (CI95% 1.6-5.8)]. The population studied did not show non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. In the multivariate analysis, the presence of oral injuries was associated with time of HIV/AIDS diagnosis during the previous 12 months, detectable viral load, and presence of removable dental prosthesis and self-report of dry mouth. Conclusions: The prevalence of oral manifestations registered in this population is high compared with those reported world-wide. Considering the association found, our results suggest that oral injuries are initial clinic characteristics of the disease and may be useful to predict treatment failure and progression from HIV infection to AIDS.

Die Entwicklung und Etablierung einer erweiterten und vertieften Pflegepraxis («Advanced Nursing Practice») ist ein wichtiger Schritt in Richtung einer zukunftsorientierten Pflege. An der HIV-Sprechstunde der Medizinischen Universitätspoliklinik des Kantonsspitals Basel, wo akut- und chronischkranke PatientInnen mit HIV/Aids medizinisch und pflegerisch behandelt werden, wurde deshalb ein Aktionsforschungsprojekt in Gang gesetzt mit dem Ziel, PatientInnen kompetentere Dienstleistungen anzubieten. Partizipative Aktionsforschung ist ein Prozess, mit dem gleichzeitig Wissen über ein System generiert und dieses System verändert wird. Im Mittelpunkt des Prozesses steht die kontinuierliche Analyse, Verbesserung und Evaluation der Pflege zugunsten von Patienten und Angehörigen. Eine erweiterte und vertiefte HIV/Aids-Pflegepraxis erfordert solides Grundlagenwissen über die Krankheit und über die aktuelle Behandlung. Patientenpräferenzen, Caring, Erfahrungswissen und Evidenz sind wesentliche konzeptuelle Grundpfeiler. Neben der Aneignung von neuen Kenntnissen spezialisierten sich die Pflegenden in einem von ihnen gewählten Gebiet der HIV/Aids-Pflege, z.B. im Umgang mit Medikamenten und der Bedeutung der Therapietreue, Gesundheitsförderung und Prävention oder im Umgang mit Symptomen, um Beratungen und Schulungen für PatientInnen und Angehörige anzubieten. Mit einer erweiterten und vertieften Pflegepraxis werden Pflegende befähigt, den sich abzeichnenden Veränderungen im Gesundheitswesen zukünftig proaktiv begegnen zu können.

Background: Socioeconomic and demographic statuses are associated with adherence to the treatment of patients with several chronic diseases. However, there is a controversy regarding their impact on adherence among HIV/AIDS patients. Thus, we performed a systematic review of the evidence regarding the association of socioeconomic and demographic statuses with adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) among HIV/AIDS patients. Methods: The PubMed database was used to search and identify studies concerning about socioeconomic and demographic statuses and HIV/AIDS patients. Data were collected on the association between adherence to ART and varies determinants factors of socioeconomic (income, education, and employment/occupation) and socio-demographic (sex and age). Findings: From 393 potentially-relevant articles initially identified, 35 original studies were reviewed in detail, which contained data that were helpful in evaluating the association between socioeconomic/ demographic statuses and adherence to ART among HIV patients. Two original research study has specifically focused on the possible association between socioeconomic status and adherence to ART. Income, level of education, and employment/occupational status were significantly and positively associated with the level of adherence in 7 studies (36.8%), 7 studies (28.0%), and 4 studies (23.5%) respectively out of 19, 25, and 17 studies reviewed. Sex (being male), and age (per year increasing) were significantly and positively associated with the level of adherence in 5 studies (14.3%), and 9 studies (25.7%) respectively out of 35 studies reviewed. However, the determinant of socioeconomic and demographic statuses was not found to be significantly associated with adherence in studies related to income 9(47.4%), education 17(68.0%), employment/ occupational 10(58.8%), sex 27(77.1%), and age 25(71.4%). Conclusion: The majority of the reviewed studies reported that there is no association between socio- demographic and economic variables and adherence to therapy. Whereas, some studies show that age of HIV patients (per year increasing) and sex (being male) were positively associated with adherence to ART. Among socio-economic factors, the available evidence does not provide conclusive support for the existence of a clear association with adherence to ART among HIV patients. There seems to be a positive trend between socioeconomic factors and adherence to ART in some of the reviewed studies.

UNSTRUCTURED COVID-19, the disease caused by a novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is a highly contagious disease. On January 30, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the outbreak as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. As of July 25, 2020; 15,947,292 laboratory-confirmed and 642,814 deaths have been reported globally. India has reported 1,338,928 confirmed cases and 31,412 deaths till date. This paper presents different aspects of COVID-19, visualization of the spread of infection and presents the ARIMA model for forecasting the status of COVID-19 death cases in the next 50 days in order to take necessary precaution by the Government to save the people.
