People living with the human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) have a higher risk of developing active tuberculosis (TB) disease, and TB remains a major cause of death in PLHIV. Uzbekistan is facing a substantial TB epidemic, which increases the risk of PLHIV developing active TB. Our retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the incidence rate and assess the risk factors for developing active TB among PLHIV. We collected secondary data extracted from medical charts of all patients, newly diagnosed at the AIDS Center in Tashkent, during the period of 2015–2017. The incidence rate of TB among PLHIV was 5.1 (95% CI: 4.5–6.0) per 1000 person/month. Adjusted regression analysis showed three major risk factors for TB, namely, being less than 15 years old (hazard ratio (HR) 5.83; 95% CI: 3.24–10.50, p value = 0.001),low CD4 count (adjusted hazard ratio(aHR) 21.0; 95% CI: 9.25–47.7, p value < 0.001), and antiretroviral therapy (ART) interruption/not receiving ART (aHR 5.57; 95% CI: 3.46–8.97 and aHR 6.2; 95% CI: 3.75–10.24, p value < 0.001, respectively) were significantly associated with developing active TB among PLHIV. Our findings indicate that taking prescribed ART without interruptions and maintaining CD4cell counts higher than 320 cells/μL are essential to prevent the development of active TB among PLHIV.

Introduction: The death of HIV/AIDS patients after receiving therapy in Bali is the seventh highest percentage of deaths in Indonesia. LTFU increases the risk of death in PLHA, given the saturation of people with HIV taking medication. The level of consistency in the treatment is very important to maintain the resilience and quality of life of people living with HIV. This study aims to determine the incidence rate, median time and predictors of death occurring in LTFU patients as seen from their sociodemographic and clinical characteristics.Methods: This study used an analytical longitudinal approach with retrospective secondary data analysis in a cohort of HIV-positive patients receiving ARV therapy at the Buleleng District Hospital in the period 2006-2015. The study used the survival analysis available within the STATA SE 12 softwareResults: The result showed that the incidence rate of death in LTFU patients was 65.9 per 100 persons, with the median time occurrence of 0.2 years (2.53 months). The NNRTI-class antiretroviral evapirens agents were shown to increase the risk of incidence of death in LTFU patients 3.92 times greater than the nevirapine group (HR 3.92; p = 0.007 (CI 1.46-10.51). Each 1 kg increase in body weight decreased the risk of death in LTFU patients by 6% (HR 0.94; p = 0.035 (CI 0.89-0.99).Conclusion: An evaluation and the monitoring of patient tracking with LTFU should be undertaken to improve sustainability. Furthermore, an observation of the LTFU patient's final condition with primary data and qualitative research needs to be done so then it can explore more deeply the reasons behind LTFU.

Background: Mortality in people living with HIV/AIDS is one of measures to the success of its treatment. Study related to their deaths seen from gender is still very limited.Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the incidence rate of mortality between men and women living with HIV/AIDS and receiving antiretroviral therapy.Methods: This was a retrospective study using secondary data of HIV/AIDS-infected patients in Buleleng District Hospital in the period of 2006-2015. This research used Survival analysis, Kaplan-meier, incident rate comparison and logistic regression with STATA SE 12.Results: A total of 1204 HIV/AIDS-infected patients data was included. The incidence of total mortality rates was 27.7 per 1000 person-years. Based on gender, the mortality in men (35 per 1000 person-years) was higher than women (14 per 1000 person-years) with the incidence rate ratio (IRR) of 2.39 (p 0.01).  Fifty percent of cases of mortality occured at 0.15 years of observation. The median time of mortality in men was 0.14 years (1.7 months) and in women was 0.15 years (1.8 months). The poor clinical condition was seen from a body weight <50 kg, which increased the risk of death with aOR 3.85 (p 0.01 CI 2.40-6.16). Nevirapine increased the risk of mortality (aOR 2.18; p 0.01; CI 1.18-4.03). and CD4 cell counts of ≤ 200 cells / mm3 reduced the risk of death by 69% (AOR 0.31; p 0.01; CI 0.18-0.53).Conclusion: The incidence of mortality in men was greater than it in women, which is caused by poor clinical conditions. It is better to evaluate the success of antiretroviral therapy by considering the needs of patients according to their gender. Further research is needed in regard to adherence of treatment and loss to follow-up events.

Main funding source(s): Spain’s Ministry of Science and Innovation (Madrid, Spain), co-financed with European Union European Regional Development Funds –ERDF- [CIBERCV CB16/11/00229]; the Health Department of the Generalitat de Catalunya (Barcelona, Spain) through the Agència de Gestió d’Ajuts Universitaris de Recerca de Catalunya (AGAUR) (Barcelona, Spain) [2017SGR222]. OnBehalf DARIOS and VACH investigators Background People living with HIV (PLWH) have an increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease, likely due to a higher prevalence of CV risk factors. We compared age-standardized prevalence and management of CV risk factors in PLWH to that of general population in Spain. Methods Blood pressure, lipid, glucose and anthropometric profile were cross-sectionally compared along with treatment of hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes in a general population cohort and a PLWH cohort. Prevalence rates were standardized by the direct method by 10-year age groups in European standard populations by gender.  Results We included 39,598 individuals aged 35 to 74 years: 28,360 from the general population cohort and 11,238 from the PLWH cohort. Compared to general population, PLWH had a higher concentration of triglycerides (&gt;35mg/dL in women and &gt;26mg/dL in men), and a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome (&gt;10% and &gt;7.8%) and diabetes (&gt;8.5% and &gt;5.3%) (Table). The proportion of treated diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension were up to 3-fold lower in both women and men living with HIV than in general population (Table). Conclusions Lipid, gluco-metabolic profiles were significantly worse in PLWH compared to general population. In addition, PLWH were less often treated for diagnosed diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension.

Abstract Objective Morbidity and mortality from smoking-related diseases among people living with HIV (PLWH) in the U.S. surpasses that due to HIV itself. Conventional smoking cessation treatments have not demonstrated strong efficacy among PLWH. We conducted a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate a tailored smoking cessation intervention based on the minority stress model. We compared standard of care counseling (SOC) to a tailored intervention (TI) including one face-to-face counseling session incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy to build resilience, and 30 days of 2-way text messaging. Results The primary outcome was smoking cessation. Secondary outcomes included cigarettes per day (CPD), exhaled carbon monoxide (CO), and cessation self-efficacy. A total of 25 participants were enrolled (TI:11, SOC:14), and 2 were lost to follow-up. There were no significant differences in quit rates between study groups. However, there was a significantly greater decrease in CPD in the TI versus SOC (13.5 vs. 0.0, p-value:0.036). Additionally, self-efficacy increased in both groups (TI p-value:0.012, SOC p-value:0.049) and CO decreased in both groups (TI p-value: < 0.001, SOC p-value:0.049). This intervention shows promise to support smoking cessation among PLWH. A larger study is needed to fully evaluate the efficacy of this approach. Clinical trial: Trial Registration: Retrospectively registered (10/20/2020) NCT04594109.
