  • The implementation of tuberculosis preventive therapy in HIV care clinics in Africa, Asia and Latin America

    Open AccessRemo Schmutz, Nicolas Banholzer et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    INTRODUCTION: Towards the 'End TB Strategy' targets, the WHO recommends the provision of tuberculosis (TB) preventive therapy (TPT) for high-risk groups including people living with HIV (PLWH). 3 years after the release of the updated 2020 WHO guidelines, we investigated the implementation of TPT services at HIV clinics in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), focusing on TB screening, populations eligible for TPT and available TPT regi…

  • Sexual health care perspectives and practices among Haitian migrants in Chile

    Julieta Belmar Prieto, Mauricio Fuentes A et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2026

    Sexual health has been defined as a human right and a key component of human well-being. In contexts of migration, its exercise is influenced by life trajectories, access barriers, and cultural factors that shape perceptions and care practices. In Chile, sexual health care for members of the Haitian population—a recently arrived group with a distinct language—poses communicative and cultural challenges for the provision of equitable and appropria…

    Open AccessPeter Richard Torokaa, Agricola Joachim et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Every year, over 10 million people worldwide contract tuberculosis (TB). The 2024 World Health Organisation TB global report indicated that 32% of the total deaths were children and adolescents under 15 years old. The scale of TB highlights the urgent need for action to end the global epidemic by 2030. This study aims to evaluate the mortality rate, survival probabilities, and factors associated with mortality among children and adolescents with …

  • Employment Status and HIV Viral Load in Chilean Adult Population

    Open AccessIgnacio Leiva-Escobar, Claudia P Cortés et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2025

    We set out to investigate the potential impact of unemployment on HIV viral load in individuals living with HIV at the biggest HIV-related healthcare centre in Chile. We analysed a cross-sectional dataset of 803 adults living with HIV on antiretroviral therapy. The main exposure was employment status. The outcome, detectable HIV viral load, was operationalised using a cut-off of HIV viral load at 20 copies/mL. We applied a propensity score method…

  • Reduction in time to viral suppression among persons living with HIV in Jamaica between 2017–2019

    Open AccessAnya Cushnie, Ralf Reintjes et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Introduction HIV viral suppression is important for effective treatment and for reducing new infections. In 2019, only 66% of persons on antiretroviral treatment (ART) in Jamaica were virally suppressed. We aim to compare time to viral suppression by ART initiation year and type of treatment site to understand the implications for programming. Methods We assessed time to viral suppression among 4560 persons who received viral load testing either …

  • Second-line anti-retroviral treatment failure and its predictors among patients with HIV in Ethiopia

    Open AccessGizachew Ambaw Kassie, Getahun Dendir Wolda et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Antiretroviral therapy (ART) treatment failure remains a major public health concern, with multidimensional consequences, including an increased risk of drug resistance, compromised quality of life, and high healthcare costs. However, little is known about the outcomes of second-line ART in Ethiopia. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the incidence and determinants of second-line ART treatment failure. Articles…

  • Hospitalization and mortality outcomes among adult persons living with HIV in a tertiary hospital in South-western Nigeria

    Open AccessAyanfe Omololu, Asukwo Onukak et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    HIV infection continues to be a major public health issue, with significant morbidity and mortality especially in resource poor areas. Infection with HIV results in an increased risk of opportunistic infections and other complications, which may lead to hospital admission and death. Morbidity and mortality patterns among hospitalized persons living with HIV (PLHIV) have been well documented in high income countries, but there is paucity of such d…

  • The fall—And rise—In hospital-based care for people with HIV in South Africa

    Open AccessEvelyn Lauren, Khumbo Shumba et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    ART scale-up has reduced HIV mortality in South Africa. However, less is known about trends in hospital-based HIV care, which is costly and may indicate HIV-related morbidity. We assessed trends in hospital-based HIV care using the National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS) National HIV Cohort. Our study included all adults ≥18 years receiving care in South Africa’s public sector HIV program from 2004 to 2017 with at least one CD4 count/viral load…

  • Factors associated with viral load suppression among orphans and vulnerable children and adolescents living with HIV in Kenya

    Open AccessBrian Onyango, Rose Mokaya et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    While tremendous progress has been made on attaining HIV treatment goals (95-95-95), children’s viral load suppression remains a challenge particularly among the orphans and vulnerable groups. In Sub Saharan Africa, there is limited evidence of specific interventions in orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) programs to support children and adolescents living with HIV (CALHIV) to attain durable viral load suppression. Through a large OVC cohort, t…

At the 2022 International AIDS Conference in Montréal, Canada, the "Silver Zone" was created in the Global Village as a safe space for older people with HIV. As part of the Silver Zone activities, a session discussing global models of…

  • Characteristics of psychosocial interventions to improve ART adherence in people living with HIV

    Open AccessStefanella Costa-Cordella, Alejandra Rossi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    The HIV/AIDS pandemic continues to be a significant global public health crisis. The main HIV/AIDS treatment is the antiretroviral therapy (ART), which is highly effective but depends on the patient’s adherence to be successful. However, the adherence to antiretroviral therapy remains unsatisfactory across different populations, which raises considerable difficulties at both individual and collective levels. Suboptimal adherence to ART can be ove…
