Socioeconomic status and other factors associated with HIV status among OVC in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)

Purpose: This study aims to portray the socioeconomic profile of OVC and examine the association of household and parent/guardian characteristics with the HIV status of OVC. Methods: For this quantitative retrospective study, we obtained data from ICAP/DRC for a total of 1,624 OVC from households enrolled for social, fina…
Risk Factors for TB/HIV Coinfection and Consequences for Patient Outcomes

We also found significant variation in HIV clinical progression stages by geographic location and demographic characteristics. Such variation points to the need for more targeted …
