• Adherence to antiretroviral treatment among pregnant and postpartum HIV-infected women

  Claude Ann Mellins, C Chu et al.•ARTICLE•AIDS Care•2008

  Añadir item

  Among women with HIV infection, pregnancy is a time when maintenance of maternal health and reduction of vertical HIV transmission are primary concerns. Few studies have examined adherence to Antiretroviral Treatment (ART) during pregnancy and in the postpartum period when the demands of childcare may significantly interfere with women's self-care behaviors. This study examined ART use and adherence in HIV-infected pregnant and postpartum women p…

• Obstetrical Factors and the Transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 from Mother to Child

  Sheldon H Landesman, Leslie A Kalish et al.•ARTICLE•Studies in Family Planning•1996

  Background A substantial proportion of perinatally acquired infections with the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) occur at or near delivery, which suggests that obstetrical factors may have an important influence on transmission. We evaluated the relation of such factors and other variables to the perinatal transmission of HIV-1. Methods The Women and Infants Transmission Study is a prospective, observational study of HIV-1–infected wom…

• The dual epidemics of tuberculosis and Aids

  Ronald Bayer, Nancy Neveloff Dubler et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Public Health•1993•Citada por: 5•Referencias: 24

  Añadir item

  As the recent increase in cases of tuberculosis is addressed, there is a danger that the need for increased protection of the public health will create a climate in which the rights of individuals with tuberculosis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection may be disregarded. This paper considers ethical and policy issues in the control of tuberculosis. The authors conclude that mandatory HIV testing is not critical to effective tuberculos…

  The resurgent tuberculosis epidemic represents--especially in New York City--a failure to maintain a public health infrastructure that was focused on preventing active disease in high-risk populations (i.e., individuals with the human immunodeficiency virus [HIV]) and on treating active tuberculosis patients until cured. Although the tuberculosis problem in New York City and other localities is worsened by homelessness, poverty, and substance abu…

  A case study is presented in which a bisexual man tests positive for antibodies to the human immune deficiency virus (HIV), a virus associated with AIDS. The patient, who is asymptomatic, is urged to tell his fiancée of the diagnosis. When he refuses, his physician must decide whether to inform the woman himself or to protect the confidentiality of his patient. Winston and Landesman comment on the physician's moral and legal obligations. Winston …
