The evolution of treatment guidelines for early syphilis to single-dose benzathine penicillin regardless of HIV status has been controversial in the UK. We describe the treatment response in patients treated by current and previous regimens of benzathine penicillin for early syphilis. We found no difference in treatment efficacy between single-dose benzathine and previously recommended benzathine treatment courses in HIV co-infected patients. HIV-positive status did alter treatment efficacy as evidenced by increased serological cure rates at 12 months, although this was not statistically significant. This may be due to the loss to follow-up in HIV-negative patients. HIV-infected patients were increasingly likely to be re-infected with syphilis compared to HIV-negative patients. Our findings also justify the screening of HIV patients with syphilis serology at each routine HIV follow-up.

  ABSTRAK Latar Belakang Penyakit menular yang selalu memberikan dampak tidak hanya kesehatan tetapi social dan ekomoni adalha HIV/AIDS.Tujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kondisi klinis dan dmeografi pasien yang menerima terapi ARV.MetodePenelitian deskriptif dengan pendekatan secara kohort retrospektifmenggunakan data sekunder dari register kohort ARV dari tahun 2005-2015 (11 tahun terapi ARV). Analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis univariat menggunakan SPSS versi 17.Hasil Karakteristik klinis dan demografi pada odha yang menerima terapi ARV yaitu 45,32% dalam kondisi ambulatory, 75.42% mendapatkan regimen NNRTI jenis zidovudine, 75.82 % mendapatkan terapi regimen NRTI nevirapine, 79.66% pada kondisi stadium 3 dan 4, dengan klasifikasi umur produktif (< 40 tahun sebanyak 82.05%, sebagian besar berjenis kelamin laki-laki 62.96%, dan memiliki pengawas minum obat (PMO) sebesar 68.25%. Proporsi kematian sebesar  9.3 % (112 orang), LTFU (loss to follow up) 18.52% (223 orang), subsitusi regimen lini satu 9.88% (119 orang),rujuk keluar 1.83% (22 orang) dan yang masih dalam pengobatan sebesar 69.93% (842).Kesimpulan Pasien yang mengalami LTFU terbagi dalam beberapa kondisi yaitu LTFU dalam kondisi meninggal 3.07% (37 orang), LTFU dalam kondisi hidup 0.5% (6 orang), dan LTFU yang tidak diketahui kondisinya sebesar 14.95% (180 orang).Saran Monitoring dan evaluasi pada program pengobatan dilakukan secara berkelanjutan untuk meningkatkan konsistensi terapi yang dilakukan.  Kata Kunci : Karakteristik, Terapi, HIV/AIDS

Abstract Background Expanded access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) leads to improved HIV/AIDS treatment outcomes in Nigeria, however, increasing rates of loss to follow-up among those on ART is threatening optimal standard achievement. Therefore, this retrospective cross-sectional study is aimed at identifying correlates and predictors of loss to follow-up in patients commencing ART in a large HIV program in Nigeria. Methods Records of all patients from 432 US CDC Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) supported facilities across 10 States and FCT who started ART from 2004 to 2017 were used for this study. Bivariate and multivariate analysis of the demographic and clinical parameters of all patients was conducted using STATA version 14 to determine correlates and predictors of loss to follow-up. Results Within the review period, 245,257 patients were ever enrolled on anti-retroviral therapy. 150,191 (61.2%) remained on treatment, 10,960 (4.5%) were transferred out to other facilities, 6926 (2.8%) died, 2139 (0.9%) self-terminated treatment and 75,041 (30.6%) had a loss to follow-up event captured. Males (OR: 1.16), Non-pregnant female (OR: 4.55), Patients on ≥ 3-monthly ARV refills (OR: 1.32), Patients with un-suppressed viral loads on ART (OR: 4.52), patients on adult 2nd line regimen (OR: 1.23) or pediatric on 1st line regimen (OR: 1.70) were significantly more likely to be lost to follow-up. Conclusion Despite increasing access to anti-retroviral therapy, loss to follow-up is still a challenge in the HIV program in Nigeria. Differentiated care approaches that will focus on males, non-pregnant females and paediatrics is encouraged. Reducing months of Anti-retroviral drug refill to less than 3 months is advocated for increased patient adherence.
