  • Behavioral impairment and cognition in Thai adolescents affected by HIV

    Open AccessPayal Patel, Andrew C Belden et al.ARTICLECambridge Prisms Global Mental…2021

    Behavioral impairment and poor executive functioning are present in adolescents with well-controlled pHIV compared to HIV-uninfected matched peers. The SNAP-IV questionnaire may be a useful tool to identify those with attentional impairment who may benefit from further cognitive testing in resource-limited settings

  • Prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection and feasibility of TB preventive therapy among Thai prisoners

    Open AccessSivaporn Gatechompol, Weerakit Harnpariphan et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    This is the first study to evaluate the prevalence of LTBI and feasibility of IPT among Thai prisoners. LTBI prevalence in male prisoners in Thailand is high. LTBI screening and treatment should be implemented together with other preventive components

  • Antiretroviral-naïve HIV-infected patients had lower bone formation markers than HIV-uninfected adults

    Lalita Wattanachanya, Jureeporn Jantrapakde et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2020

    There are limited studies regarding bone health among people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Asia. We compared bone mineral density (BMD), serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) status and bone turnover markers (serum procollagen type1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), osteocalcin (OC) and C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type1 collagen) among 302 antiretroviral therapy (ART) naive PLHIV compared to 269 HIV-uninfected controls from Thailand. People ag…

  • Early suboptimal ART adherence was associated with missed clinical visits in HIV-infected patients in Asia

    Awachana Jiamsakul, Stephen J Kerr et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2018

    Missed clinic visits can lead to poorer treatment outcomes in HIV-infected patients. Suboptimal antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence has been linked to subsequent missed visits. Knowing the determinants of missed visits in Asian patients will allow for appropriate counselling and intervention strategies to ensure continuous engagement in care. A missed visit was defined as having no assessments within six months. Repeated measures logistic regr…

  • A qualitative study of Thai HIV-positive young men who have sex with men and transgender women demonstrates the need for eHealth interventions to optimize the HIV care continuum

    Tarandeep Anand, Chattiya Nitpolprasert et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2017

    In Thailand, young men who have sex with men (YMSM) and transgender women (TG) are disproportionately affected by HIV and have suboptimal care continuum outcomes. Although Thai YMSM and young TG are early adopters of emerging technologies and have high Internet and technology access and utilization, the potential of technology has not been harnessed to optimize the HIV treatment cascade. We interviewed 18 behaviorally HIV-infected YMSM and young …

  • Depression and anxiety were low amongst virally suppressed, long-term treated HIV-infected individuals enrolled in a public sector antiretroviral program in Thailand

    Wisit Prasithsirikul, Sukanya Chongthawonsatid et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2017

    HIV/AIDS and anxiety/depression are interlinked. HIV-infected patients suffering from depression may be at risk for poor adherence which may contribute to HIV disease progression. Additionally, an HIV diagnosis and/or using certain antiretroviral agents may trigger symptoms of anxiety/depression. The objective of the study was to assess the prevalence and factors associated with anxiety and depression in HIV-infected patients from the Thai Nation…

  • Low uptake of HIV testing and no HIV positivity in stable serodiscordant heterosexual partners of long-term treated HIV-infected Thais

    Nadia Kancheva Landolt, Nittaya Phanuphak et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2015

    The objective of this study was to characterize HIV-serodiscordant heterosexual couples and to evaluate acceptance for HIV testing and HIV prevalence in nonindex partners. We conducted a cross-sectional study with quantitative and qualitative components. Two cohorts of 1767 HIV-positive people were screened to identify heterosexual HIV-serodiscordant couples. HIV-positive partners (index) were administered a questionnaire; CD4, viral load (VL), a…

  • Neurodevelopmental outcomes in HIV-exposed-uninfected children versus those not exposed to HIV

    Stephen J Kerr, Thanyawee Puthanakit et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2014

    Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-negative children born to HIV-infected mothers may exhibit differences in neurodevelopment (ND) compared to age- and gender-matched controls whose lives have not been affected by HIV. This could occur due to exposure to HIV and antiretroviral agents in utero and perinatally, or differences in the environment in which they grow up. This study assessed neurodevelopmental outcomes in HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU) an…

  • Poor quality of life among untreated Thai and Cambodian children without severe HIV symptoms

    Torsak Bunupuradah, Thanyawee Puthanakit et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2012

    There are limited data on quality of life (QOL) 1 in untreated HIV-infected children who do not have severe HIV symptoms. Moreover, such data do not exist for Asian children. Poor QOL could be a factor in deciding if antiretroviral therapy (ART) should be initiated. Thai and Cambodian children (n=294), aged 1-11 years, naïve to ART, with mild to moderate HIV symptoms and CD4 15-24% were enrolled. Their caregivers completed the Pediatric AIDS Clin…
