case study in hiv

A 35-year-old HIV-positive man was admitted to our hospital with intermittent fever for several months (Figure 1) and chronic diarrhea. He was diagnosed HIV-positive 4 years earlier and had subsequently developed several AIDS-defining diseases such as Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and CMV retinitis.

An estimated 1 in 2 Black men who have sex with men in the United States will become infected with HIV over a lifetime. 1 Among the nearly 50,000 adolescents and young adults (13 to 24 years of ...

Based on this case study and literature review, it is evident that co-infection presents typical clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic features, and can be observed in the prognosis of the disease. Therefore, prospective studies are required to clarify gaps such as the efficacy of secondary prophylaxis and need for clinical and laboratory ...

One study found that the overall rate of infections up to four months after the insertion of an intrauterine device was the same among HIV-negative women as among HIV-positive women. 29 Therefore ...

This case study is about Anamika (name changed), a 35-year-old female who is an empowered HIV-positive and presently works as Community Co-ordinator at an anti-retroviral treatment (ART) centre.

The worst-case scenario could be that the gains of HIV control could be reversed, precipitating a loss of confidence, funding reductions, and increased incidence and mortality. ... We are the change—an innovative community-based response to address self-stigma: a pilot study focusing on people living with HIV in Zimbabwe. PLoS One. 2019; 14 ...

AIDS as a human crisis may lead to devastating psychological trauma and stress for patients. Therefore, it is necessary to study different aspects of their lives for better support and care. Accordingly, this study aimed to explain the lived experience of HIV-infected patients in the face of a positive diagnosis of the disease. This qualitative study is a descriptive phenomenological study.

Abstract. This case study demonstrates a 36-year-old ex-intravenous drug user (IVDU) who had been initially tested positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) twice using Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA) method (Particle agglutination, PA done), but a year later he was tested HIV-negative. The patient was asymptomatic for HIV and T helper cells ...

A clinical trial is a research study done to evaluate new medical approaches in people. HIV and AIDS clinical trials help researchers find better ways to prevent, detect, or treat HIV and AIDS. Examples of HIV and AIDS clinical trials underway include studies of new HIV medicines, studies of vaccines to prevent or treat HIV, and studies of medicines to treat infections related to HIV and AIDS.

We did a matched, nested case-control study among adult men at high risk of HIV infection between Jan 1, 2016, and June 30, 2020, using data from the French national health data system. Men who were newly diagnosed with HIV infection up to Dec 31, 2020, were individually matched with up to five controls for age, socioeconomic status, place of ...

In this retrospective case-control study, people with HIV from Washington University in St Louis, MO, USA, and people without HIV identified through community organisations or the Research Participant Registry were clinically characterised and underwent 3-Tesla T 1-weighted MRI between Dec 3, 2008, and Oct 4, 2022.Exclusion criteria were established by a combination of self-reports and medical ...

In 2020, over 30,600 people received an HIV diagnosis in the United States, and 20,758 cases were due to male-to-male sexual contact; data for 2020 should be interpreted with caution due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on access to HIV testing, care-related services, and case surveillance activities.

Introduction People living with HIV (PLHIV) relied on community-based organizations (CBOs) in accessing HIV care and support during the COVID-19 pandemic in China. However, little is known about the impact of, and challenges faced by Chinese CBOs supporting PLHIV during lockdowns. Methods A survey and interview study was conducted among 29 CBOs serving PLHIV in China between November 10 and ...

HIV Case Study: Ryan White and Activism. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infects human immune cells and reproduces within them. HIV causes AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), which describes a weakened and "deficient" immune system. The body of someone with AIDS can no longer fight against many diseases that a person with a ...

A medically and socially complex patient with HIV is presented as the initial case study that leads to identification of barriers and needs on individual, community, and public policy levels. This is an active-learning resource that includes both small- and large-group discussion driven by self-directed learners using the provided resources.

A meta-analysis 24 of six studies conducted between 2003 and 2015, including 2268 patients, suggested that after PCI, patients with HIV had similar mortality and major adverse cardiac events to ...

Management of Newly Diagnosed HIV Infection. Author: Scott M. Hammer, M.D. Author Info & Affiliations. Published October 20, 2005. N Engl J Med 2005;353: 1702 - 1710. DOI: 10.1056/NEJMcp051203 ...

Ready acceptance of experiences of new diagnoses among HIV-positive persons is a known personal and public health safety-net. Its beneficial effects include prompt commencement and sustenance of HIV-positive treatment and care, better management of transmission risk, and disclosure of the HIV-positive status to significant others. Yet, no known study has explored this topic in Ghana; despite ...

Case identification is the first step to ensure children living with HIV are linked to life-saving treatment, achieve viral suppression, and live long, healthy lives. Successful interventions to optimize pediatric HIV testing during the COVID-19 pandemic are needed to sustain progress toward achieving Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS ...

This article presents the case of an HIV-positive patient who presented the treating physician, a psychiatrist, with an ethical dilemma. We provide the details of the case, identify the ethical issues it raises, and examine the ethical principles involved. In their article, "Confidentiality in the Age of AIDS," Martin L. Smith and Kevin P. Martin present a complex case in clinical ethics.

Study design. This was a retrospective, matched 1:1 case-control study that reviewed all have done polysomnography (PSG) test HIV cases with sleep complaint admitted to an academic tertiary care center in the southern of Taiwan.

There is extensive evidence for the transmission of drug-resistant HIV-1, although the prevalence of transmitted (or primary) resistance varies considerably across cohorts. Current guidelines recommend that a baseline resistance test should be carried out in newly diagnosed patients presenting with a recent infection. Knowledge of viral susceptibilities allows the construction of an ...

Previous studies have associated HIV infection with increased hypogonadism. However, the prevalence of hypogonadism remained poorly defined and widely ranging in various studies. This study aims to evaluate the serum gonadal hormonal levels and hypogonadism in antiretroviral therapy (ART) naïve newly diagnosed HIV infected-males in Mwanza ...
