We modeled each partners’ depressive symptoms (Patient Health Questionnaire-9 [PHQ-9]) using proportional odds models adjusted for enr…

Healer-led vs. clinician-led training to improve personal protective equipment use among traditional healers in South Africa

There are estimated two million traditional healers in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), with more than 10% (200,000) working in South Africa. Traditional healers in SSA are frequently exposed to bloodborne pathogens through the widespread practice of traditional 'injections', in which the healers perform dozens of subcutaneous incisions to rub herbs directly into the bloodied tissue with their hands. Healers who report exposure to patient blood have a 2…

Active cocaine use is associated with lack of HIV-1 virologic suppression independent of nonadherence to antiretroviral therapy
Daniel A Rasbach, Andrew J Desruisseau et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2013
Clarifying the relationship between illicit drug use and HIV-1 virologic suppression requires characterization of both illicit drug use activity and adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART). We developed a rapid clinical questionnaire to assess prior 7-day illicit drug use and ART adherence in a cross-sectional study among 1777 HIV-infected persons in care. Of these, 76% were male, 35% were African-American, and 8% reported injection drug use as…

We assessed relationships between appetite, dietary intake and treatment outcome 12 weeks after ART initiation among HIV-infected adults with advanced malnutrition and…
