Profile of birth outcomes, antiretroviral-adherence, and virologic control near delivery in a cohort of naïve and experienced pregnant people living with HIV in a PMTCT Center
This study investigated virologic suppression and antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence in pregnant people living with HIV (PLWH) at a Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) unit. The objective was to assess how prior ART experience impacts virologic suppression during pregnancy. A total of 350 pregnant PLWH were included and divided into three groups: ART-naïve, ART-experienced who conceived while on continuous ART, and ART-experien…
Antiretroviral adherence among people living with HIV during the postpartum period
Despite success in achieving viral suppression during pregnancy in people living with HIV (PLWH), postpartum adherence remains a challenge. We aimed to describe rates of adherence at a Prevention of Mother-to-Child HIV Transmission (PMTCT) Center before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study was conducted from a cohort of PLWH who received prenatal care and were virally suppressed near delivery. We tracked combined antiretroviral therapy (c…
Slow Acceptance of Universal Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) Among Mothers Enrolled in Impaact PROMISE Studies Across the Globe
The PROMISE trial enrolled asymptomatic HIV-infected pregnant and postpartum women not eligible for antiretroviral treatment (ART) per local guidelines and randomly assigned proven antiretroviral strategies to assess relative efficacy for perinatal prevention plus maternal/infant safety and maternal health. The START study subsequently demonstrated clear benefit in initiating ART regardless of CD4 count. Active PROMISE participants were informed …
Retrospective analysis of risk factors and gaps in prevention strategies for mother-to-child HIV transmission in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
While PMTCT coverage has improved over the years, completion of services remains insufficient. Along with interventions to promote care-seeking behaviour, increased infrastructural support for PMTCT services is needed to meet the HIV MTCT elimination goal in Brazil as well as address rising national rates of congenital syphilis
Viral Suppression and Resistance in a Cohort of Perinatally-HIV Infected (PHIV+) Pregnant Women
Our objective was to describe viral suppression and antiretroviral (ARV) resistance mutations in an ongoing cohort of perinatally-infected HIV+ (PHIV+) pregnant women. Descriptive analysis was performed using SPSS 18.0. From 2011 to 2014, we followed 22 PHIV+ pregnant women. Median age at prenatal entry was 19 years (Interquartile range (IQR) 17.6-21.0); 86% had an AIDS diagnosis; 81% had disclosed their HIV status to partner 11. The median age a…
HIV rapid testing as a key strategy for prevention of mother-to-child transmission in Brazil
OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility of HIV rapid testing for pregnant women at maternity hospital admission and of subsequent interventions to reduce perinatal HIV transmission. METHODS: Study based on a convenience sample of women unaware of their HIV serostatus when they were admitted to delivery in public maternity hospitals in Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alegre, Brazil, between March 2000 and April 2002. Women were counseled and tested using th…
Diagnóstico de la infección micobacteriana diseminada
Con el desarrollo de la epidemia del síndrome de inmunodeficiencia adquirida (sida), el aislamiento de micobacterias de la sangre se ha convertido en un problema habitual de los laboratorios clínicos. En el presente estudio se evaluaron dos métodos para aislar micobacterias en muestras de sangre de pacientes de sida: 1) la inoculación directa en un medio bifásico y 2) un método no comercializado de lisis por centrifugación. A cada uno de los 50 p…
