Willingness to accept long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy among persons living with HIV in a tertiary facility in Southern Ghana
There a gradual transformation of the HIV epidemic with the emergence of antiretroviral therapy. Adherence to daily pill intake is vital for optimal HIV viral suppression. A strategic approach to enhancing adherence is the development of long-acting injectable ART (LAI-ART). Patients’ willingness to accept LAI-ART is a key determinant to the success of these novel therapies, but data is lacking in Africa and Ghana. This study assessed the willing…
Factors affecting viral suppression or rebound in people living with HIV and receiving antiretroviral therapy in Ghana
Introduction Regular viral load (VL) testing for people living with HIV (PLWH) is key to attaining the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) Fast-Track 95–95-95 target to end the HIV epidemic by 2030. However, VL testing remains sporadic in routine HIV care in the majority of resource-limited settings, including Ghana, except when provided through research initiatives. In this study, we measured VL among PLWH in Ghana at regular inter…
Use of the urine Determine LAM test in the context of tuberculosis diagnosis among inpatients with HIV in Ghana
Background: The urine Determine LAM test has the potential to identify tuberculosis (TB) and reduce early mortality among people living with HIV. However, implementation of the test in practice has been slow. We aimed to understand how a Determine LAM intervention was received and worked in a Ghanaian in-hospital context. Design/Methods: Nested in a Determine LAM intervention study, we conducted a two-phase explanatory sequential mixed methods st…
Coping strategies among adolescents and young adults living with HIV/Aids in Accra-Ghana
Participants largely adopted positive coping strategies in managing the disease. Factors that influenced the choice of coping strategies were higher levels of education and the presence of both parents as caregivers. The importance of a good social support structure and pursuing further education needs to be emphasized in counselling adolescents living with HIV as it promotes the choice of positive coping strategies
Incidence and Predictors of Imported Cases of Covid-19 in Burkina Faso
BACKGROUND: To limit the spread of COVID-19 due to imported cases, Burkina Faso has set up quarantine measures for arriving passengers. We aimed to determine the incidence and predictors of imported cases of COVID-19 in Burkina Faso. METHODS: 2) platform. Cox regression was used to identify predictors of imported cases of COVID-19. RESULTS: Among 6,332 travelers who arrived in the study period, 173 imported cases (2.7%) were recorded. The inciden…
Antiretroviral therapy adherence and viral suppression among HIV-infected adolescents and young adults at a tertiary hospital in Ghana
With the introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART), many HIV-infected children are growing into adolescence and adulthood. A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted at the Fevers Unit of one of the teaching hospitals in Ghana. The Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) and pill count were used to assess adherence, while measured viral load levels of participants were used to assess viral suppression. The rate of viral suppressi…
