Diverse Physical Health Outcomes and HIV Infection
Results from an umbrella review of observational studies showed highly suggestive or suggestive evidence for HIV and the presence of several physical health outcomes.
HIV/AIDS
Interventions Focused on High-Risk Behaviors May Reduce HIV Transmission
Focusing on interventions that address high-risk sexual behaviors and injection practices may reduce HIV transmission rates among individuals who are HIV-positive and inject drugs.
Effective Intervention Evidence Lacking in Prevention of Vertical Transmission of HIV
Evidence on intervention effectiveness in improving uptake and retention of mothers and infants in the prevention of mother-to-child transmission care in HIV regimens is lacking.
Poor HIV Control Increases Risk for Sudden Cardiac Death in Heart Failure
Lower CD4 count, nonsuppressed viral load linked to higher risk for sudden cardiac death in HIV with heart failure.
HIV Infection Associated With Poor Cancer Outcomes
Elderly patients with HIV who have cancer, and specifically breast and prostate cancer, may have worse outcomes when compared with elderly patients without HIV with cancer.
1984 to 2016 Saw Increase in Age of Death for HIV-Infected
Autopsy data trends include increase in prevalence of atherosclerosis, drop in opportunistic infections.
HCV, HIV Association With Peripheral Artery Disease Examined
Investigators analyzed the relationship between HIV, hepatitis C virus, and peripheral artery disease in women.
Stigma May Affect Viral Load Control in African American Women With HIV
HIV stigma may contribute to African American women in the United States being more likely to experience poor HIV-related health outcomes.
CD4+ T Lymphocytes May Contribute to Diabetes in Women With HIV
In women with HIV and diabetes mellitus, CD4+ lymphocytes may contribute to the development of diabetes mellitus.
Compliance With Meds Falters With Age in Youth Born With HIV
Prevalence of nonadherence increased from preadolescence to late adolescence/young adulthood.
