Optimizing the World Health Organization algorithm for HIV vertical transmission risk assessment by adding maternal self-reported antiretroviral therapy adherence
In the absence of a VL result, mothers' self-reported adherence at delivery increases the number of identified infants eligible to receive enhanced post-natal prophylaxis
Neurodevelopmental and behavioural outcomes of HIV-exposed uninfected and HIV-unexposed children at 2–3 years of age in Cape Town, South Africa
Successful vertical HIV transmission prevention programmes (VTP) have resulted in an expanding population of HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU) infants whose growth, health and neurodevelopmental outcomes could have consequences for future resource allocation. We compared neurodevelopmental and behavioural outcomes in a prospective cohort of 2-3 year old HEU and HIV-unexposed uninfected (HU) children.Women living with and without HIV and their infants …
Value of the Goodenough Drawing Test as a research tool to detect developmental delay in South African preschool children
There is a need for simple, cost-effective research tools to detect developmental delay in preschool children in low- and middle-income countries where insufficient resources are often a barrier to detection and management. The Goodenough Draw-a-Person test is freely available, easily administered, and requires limited language ability and equipment; it is thus potentially useful in resource-constrained settings. We aimed to determine the diagnos…

HIV cure research in South Africa
Innovative strategies for HIV cure are in development and research studies are being designed and planned globally. South Africa is no exception. However, little is known about stakeholders' knowledge, understanding and expectations of future cure research. This study aimed to obtain in-depth qualitative insights into stakeholder perspectives at this formative stage of HIV cure research. Fifteen stakeholders were interviewed in an HIV research cl…
Adherence to antiretroviral therapy during and after pregnancy in low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries
OBJECTIVE: To estimate antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence rates during pregnancy and postpartum in high-income, middle-income, and low-income countries. DESIGN: Systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS: MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCI Web of Science, NLM Gateway, and Google scholar databases were searched. We included all studies reporting adherence rates as a primary or secondary outcome among HIV-infected pregnant women. Two independent reviewers …

Positive futures
With the increasing availability of highly active antiretroviral therapy, vertically infected children have a better chance of surviving into adolescence and adulthood. Additionally, sexual transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) remains a problem, and incidence and prevalence among youth remain high. Therefore, HIV-infected adolescents are becoming a more prominent sub-group in the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Experience from the developed worl…
Antiretroviral Therapy Adherence, Virologic and Immunologic Outcomes in Adolescents Compared With Adults in Southern Africa
OBJECTIVE: To determine adherence to and effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in adolescents vs. adults in southern Africa. DESIGN: Observational cohort study. SETTING: Aid for AIDS, a private sector disease management program in southern Africa. SUBJECTS: Adolescents (age 11-19 years; n = 154) and adults (n = 7622) initiating ART between 1999 and 2006 and having a viral load measurement within 1 year after ART initiation. MAIN OUTCOME M…
Early Antiretroviral Therapy and Mortality among HIV-Infected Infants
BACKGROUND: In countries with a high seroprevalence of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), HIV infection contributes significantly to infant mortality. We investigated antiretroviral-treatment strategies in the Children with HIV Early Antiretroviral Therapy (CHER) trial. METHODS: HIV-infected infants 6 to 12 weeks of age with a CD4 lymphocyte percentage (the CD4 percentage) of 25% or more were randomly assigned to receive antiretroviral …
Paediatric HIV/Aids disclosure
As antiretroviral therapy becomes more widely available in low-resource settings and children with HIV/AIDS live for longer periods, disclosure of HIV diagnosis to infected children is becoming increasingly important. This article reviews the current literature on HIV-related disclosure in light of theories of cognitive development, and argues for the adoption of a process-oriented approach to discussing HIV with infected children. Disclosure pre…
