Hiv Aids

About 17 million women around the world aged 15-49 years are infected with HIV and AIDS. HIV / AIDS is transmitted from mother to baby during pregnancy, intra-natal, postnatal and it is a cause of death. In 2015, HIV transmission occurred in more than 38,500 children born to HIV-positive women. Transmission of HIV / AIDS from mother to baby during labor can be prevented by ARV therapy. The psychological aspects of postpartum women with HIV / AIDS include fear, shame, and a higher risk of depression compared to normal postpartum. Social support is needed by individuals in the situation. The participants in this study were 6 people. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with the inclusion criteria for post-partum women with HIV / AIDS who routinely controlled treatment. The results of the study found the theme of psychosocial support from the closest person consisted of 3 categories, namely psychological support from the family, support from fellow friends with HIV / AIDS and support in undergoing treatment. Conclusions from the results of the study found new insights that post-partum women with HIV / AIDS had accumulated feeling from the process of HIV / AIDS. Support is needed from the people closest to the family and support from fellow friends with HIV / AIDS, to prevent continuing into the desperation stage that results in death.Keywords: HIV / AIDS, Physiological support, Perception, postpartum-women.

Background: Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is one of the deadliest diseases that modern medicine has ever had to tackle. Understanding the knowledge about HIV/AIDS in general populations will help in formulating strategy for prevention and treatment. With this background, this study was conducted to assess the knowledge and awareness about HIV/AIDS among general population.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted at C.C.M. Medical College and Hospital, Durg during December 2018 to January 2019. The data was collected from 450 patients attending the medicine outpatient department. Study subjects were selected using convenient sampling technique. Patients giving consent and willing to participate were included in the study. The data was collected in predesigned and pretested questionnaire.Results: 77.11% study participants were aware that unprotected sex can lead to transmission of HIV, 73.78% knew that shaking hands will not transmit the disease. 79.8% knew that use of condom can prevent transmission of HIV/AIDS. Overall males had better knowledge than females. 76.85% said they would behave friendly with people having HIV/AIDS and 69.78% were willing to take care of relatives with HIV.Conclusions: This study indicates that majority participants have good knowledge about difference between HIV and AIDS, modes of transmission and prevention though they were not completely aware of it. The proportion of those with lack of correct knowledge though comparatively less, needs to be taken as a challenge and addressed through well planned health educational activities at various platforms including teaching hospital premises.

Diastasis Recti (DR) is a common muscular condition often present during and after pregnancy. This cross-sectional correlational study investigated the prevalence of DR among pregnant and postpartum women. A total of 250 pregnant and postpartum women were recruited using convenience sampling technique from obstetrics and gynaecology department, Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano, Nigeria. Age, body mass, height, BMI, parity, trimester, duration of DR postpartum, location of DR and DR status was recorded for each participant. Presence of DR was confirmed using the finger width method. Descriptive statistics of mean, SD, percentage were used to describe the data and determine the prevalence. Inferential statistics of Pearson’s and Spearman’s correlation were used to analyse the relationship between prevalence of DR and age, parity and duration of DR postpartum. Chi square was computed to determine the difference in prevalence of DR across trimesters. The result of this study indicated high prevalence of DR in post-partum and pregnant women (84% and 64.7% respectively); the most common location of DR was at the umbilicus in both pregnant and postpartum women. Prevalence of DR was high among the multigravida; and a significant relationship was found between prevalence of DR and age and parity of participants. There was a significant difference in prevalence of DR across the trimesters. It can be concluded that prevalence of DR among pregnant and postpartum women is high; age and parity are determinants of DR prevalence. Evaluation of DR should be considered as routine assessment in both pregnant and postpartum women.

Background: Perineum wound care is one of the factors to prevent infection during the puerperium. Because the perineum is a difficult area to keep dry and clean. Care and observation are needed during the puerperium to ensure that the perineum is healed by taking care of the perineum properly and correctly. During the Covid-19 pandemic, postpartum maternal visits to health facilities were very limited because it was to avoid transmitting infectious diseases to postpartum mothers.   Objective: To determine the knowledge of the post-partum women about the practice of perineal wounds during the Covid-19 pandemic at the Banjar Health Centre in 2021.   Methodology: this descriptive study used a cross sectional approach. The sample in this study was 102 respondents with accidental sampling technique. Data were analyzed using SPSS with Chi Square, which previously tested the validity and reliability.   Results: The practice of treating perineum wounds in the working area of the Banjar Health Centre obtained an average score of 73.5. Based on the knowledge obtained an average value of 89.2. The results of the Chi Square test showed that all independent variables had a relationship with perineum wound care practices, including knowledge (p = 0.001).   Conclusions and Suggestions: The practice of perineum wounds care in postpartum women has a relationship with the women’s level of knowledge. Postpartum women can expand their knowledge about wound care in the perineum during the puerperium through mass and electronic media and counseling provided by health personnel.

UNSTRUCTURED In this paper, we present the impact of migration on the spread of HIV/AIDS. A simple model for HIV and AIDS that incorporates migration and addresses its contributions to the spread of HIV and AIDS cases was constructed. The model was calibrated to HIV and AIDS incidence data from Malaysia. The epidemiological parameters were estimated using MCMC methods. Among the migrant population, 1.5572e-01 were susceptible to HIV transmission, which constituted 67801 migrants. A proportion of migrants, 6.3773e-04 were estimated to be HIV infected, constituting 278 migrants. There were 72 (per 10000) migrants estimated to have had AIDS, representing a proportion of 1.6611e-08. The result suggest that the disease-free steady state was unstable because the basic reproduction number was 2.0906 and 1.4861 for the models without and with migration, respectively. Based on the findings, this is not a good indicator from the public health point of view, as the aim is to stabilize the epidemic at the disease-free equilibrium. The models analysed considerably well reflected the dynamical behaviour of the HIV epidemic field data in Malaysia. We recommend that a national programme should be implemented by the government in collaboration with the Malaysian Immigration Department to reduce HIV/AIDS transmission by more closely monitoring migrant activities. It is our view that the models would be useful to tackle other problems, other diseases.

The purpose of this study was to examine the role of food as an instrument in expressing and experiencing HIV/AIDS stigma by HIV-positive women and their families, with the goal of reducing discrimination. It goes beyond willingness to share utensils, which has been identified in HIV/AIDS research. As part of an ongoing capacity-building HIV/AIDS stigma project in South Africa, 25 focus groups and 15 key informant interviews were conducted among 195 women and 54 men in three Black communities. Participants were asked to discuss how they were treated in the family as women living with HIV and AIDS, and data was organized using the PEN-3 model. Findings highlight both the positive and negative experiences HIV-positive women encounter. Women would not disclose their HIV status to avoid being isolated from participating in the socio-cultural aspects of food preparation, while others that have disclosed their status have experienced alienation. The symbolic meanings of food should be a major consideration when addressing the elimination of HIV/AIDS stigma in South Africa.

The Indonesian government established the prevalence target of HIV &lt;0.50% in 2019 to control the spreading of HIV through the National Medium Term Development Plan. To ensure the sustainability of this development plan, a study of the strategic capacity of HIV/AIDS programmes is needed to provide an overview so that the program can be sustained over time. This study aimed to explore the sustainability capacity of HIV/AIDS programmes in Yogyakarta. This was a descriptive study utilizing a qualitative approach. The study involved 42 participants as key informants selected by a purposive sampling technique, and the data were examined using content analysis. By setting priorities of the local government supported by the Provincial Health Office and with the coordination of the Yogyakarta Province AIDS Commission, the programs are able to maintain sustainable HIV and AIDS programmes in Yogyakarta. Funding capacity, evaluation, programme adaptation and communication have not been optimal to ensure the sustainability. Stability of funding is the main obstacle to achieving the sustainability of HIV and AIDS programs. However, with good planning, partnership structure and sufficient organizational capacity, this approach can ensure the HIV and AIDS programmes will continue with the targets set by the Yogyakarta Provincial Health Office. The government in Yogyakarta needs to increase funding capacity, and improve communication to ensure sustainability. The strategy should include adaptation and evaluation of programs through strengthening private sector financing, formulating a communication plan and improving the capacity to respond to change.

The Relationship

Family support to people with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA) plays an important role in improvement of PLWHA to take antiretroviral drugs (ARV) obediently. Commonly, PLWHA is an introvert person mainly about his/her health condition, so if the family have less knowledge and support during the treatment process, she/he would not be obedient to take ARV drugs and the therapeutic effect could not work optimally. This study aimed to determine the relationship between family support with compliance taking ARV drugs on PLWHA in-Clinic VCT Sobat RSUD Dr. W. Z. Johannes Kupang. The type of this research was analytical survey with a crosssectional study design. The number of respondents were 44 people which obtained by using accidental sampling technique. The data was collacted by using questionnaire and was analysed by using Chi-square test. The results showed that there was a relationship between support for assessment (p = 0,003), instrumental support (p = 0,001), emotional support (p = 0,028), and no relation of informational support (p = 0,336) with compliance taking ARV drugs on PLWHA. Thus, it is expected that family should continue to support the PLWHA to provide accurate information about ARV treatment and to remind PLWHA to take ARV drugs regularly.
