Assessing awareness of latent tuberculosis infection
Background: Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) affects approximately a quarter of the global population and poses a significant barrier to TB control, particularly in high-burden settings like South Africa. Public awareness of LTBI remains limited, with widespread misconceptions, especially within rural healthcare systems. This study assessed community knowledge of LTBI, evaluated the impact of prior educational exposure, and identified sociode…
Towards community-driven tuberculosis education
Background Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health concern in rural South Africa, with widespread community knowledge gaps and pervasive stigma significantly impeding early diagnosis and treatment success. This pilot study evaluated TB knowledge and barriers to testing among community members in Ntabankulu, Eastern Cape, to inform targeted, community-driven education strategies. Methods A cross-sectional survey utilizing a structured Know…
Prolonged Exposure to Antiretroviral Therapy and Risk of Developing Hypertension Among HIV-Infected Clinic Attendees
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has significantly improved outcomes in individuals with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), yet its long-term cardiovascular effects, especially on hypertension risk, remain debated. This pilot study investigated hypertension risk factors in HIV-positive patients undergoing ART and aimed at hypothesis generation rather than drawing definitive causal conclusions. Seventy HIV-infected adults without baseline hypertensio…
Risk Factors Attributable to Hypertension among HIV-Infected Patients on Antiretroviral Therapy in Selected Rural Districts of the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa
The findings of this study indicate that hypertension is a prevalent concern among HIV patients receiving antiretroviral therapy. HIV patients should have their blood pressure checked regularly, and they should be screened for high blood pressure and given treatment for it
