Introduction: There have been growing concerns of intimate partner violence (IPV) in people living with HIV (PLHIV). The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and predictors of IPV in PLHIV. Material and methods: This was an analytical cross-sectional study carried out in Enugu State, Southeast Nigeria, among 360 PLHIV receiving care in a tertiary hospital. A systematic sampling method was used to select participants during clinic visits, and data was collected using a pretested questionnaire adapted from Nigerian demographic and health survey. Responses were based on incidents, which had occurred within a period of twelve months prior to the day of interview. P -values of < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: The mean age of respondents was 35 ± 5 years. One hundred and eighty-nine (52.5%) respondents had experienced a form of IPV in the last 12 months preceding the study. Being female and having a partner who uses illicit drugs or alcohol were found to be predictors of IPV (AOR = 2.251, 95% CI: 1.438-3.522) and (AOR = 1.467, 95% CI: 0.301-0.725), respectively. Conclusions: Prevalence of IPV was high in respondents in this study and in light of these findings, there is need to facilitate IPV screening, counseling, and improve patient awareness of IPV in routine management of PLHIV in care and treatment facilities in Nigeria.

Mucocele or mucus extravasation cyst is a common oral cavity lesion, involving minor salivary glands, and results from duct rupture or obliteration, causing glandular contents (mucinous) to be released subepithelially. The incidence is high, with 2.5 lesions per 1,000 individuals. Indeed, mucoceles are the most common minor salivary gland disorder, and represent the second most frequent benign soft tissue tumors of the oral cavity, following irritative fibromas. Trauma, parafunctional behavior, lip chewing, and other etiological factors may contribute to a permanent bump in the region of incidence if left untreated. These are non-neoplastic cystic lesions of the major and minor salivary glands caused by mucus accumulation. Children are the most often affected by these lesions. Various treatment modalities for mucocele have been advocated, with lasers being the most recent and innovative. In the current case report, a diode laser was used to remove a mucocele on the lower lip, with benefits of less pain, bleeding, recurrence, and greater patient compliance. While these lesions are usually treat-ed with local surgical excision, in our case, to prevent intra-operative surgical complications, such as bleeding and edema, and to facilitate faster healing, excision was performed using a diode laser with a wavelength of 940 nm. After achieving hemostasis, the excised tissue was sent for histopathological examination, which confirmed our diagnosis of that lesion as mucus extravasation cyst or mucocele.

Malignancies are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)infected patients. With the introduction of an effective combination of antiretroviral therapy, HIV infection has been changed from being a death sentence to a chronic condition. There is renewed clinical interest in the associated morbidities of non-communicable diseases, and most importantly cancers, such as Kaposi’s sarcoma and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, due to prolonged survival on antiretrovirals. Available evidence suggests that there is an increasing frequency of cancers associated with bacterial and viral infections among the HIV-infected population. There is also a concern about the etiology of emergence of cancers, risk factors, and viral infections in HIV-infected individuals. The challenge is for the caregivers to develop and implement effective means to screen, treat, and prevent non-AIDS defining cancers (NADCs) in the HIV-infected patients. There is a need for provision of hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus vaccines for those who are uninfected and the eligible population. Emphasis should be on these non-AIDS defining cancers during health education, in order to create awareness of the morbidity that may encourage screening uptake, thus resulting in healthy living and reduced mortality rates. This brief review aimed to bring to fore the account of NADCs, risk factors, the role of the microbiota, diagnostic methods, and the need for urgent screening and prevention among people living with HIV/AIDS.

恶性肿瘤是人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染患者发病和死亡的主要原因。由于采用了有效的抗逆转录病毒联合疗法，艾滋病毒感染已从被判死刑变成一种慢性病。非传染性疾病的相关发病率，尤其是卡波西氏肉瘤和非霍奇金淋巴瘤等癌症，由于抗逆转录病毒药物延长了生存期，重新引起了临床关注。现有证据表明，在艾滋病毒感染人群中，与细菌和病毒感染相关的癌症发病率越来越高。人们还关注艾滋病毒感染者出现癌症的病因、危险因素和病毒感染。护理人员面临的挑战是制定和实施有效的手段来筛查、治疗和预防艾滋病毒感染患者的非艾滋病决定性癌症(NADCs)。有必要为未感染者和符合条件的人群提供乙型肝炎病毒和人乳头瘤病毒疫苗。在健康教育中应强调这些非艾滋病界定的癌症，以便提高对发病率的认识，从而鼓励接受筛查，从而实现健康的生活和降低死亡率。这篇简短的综述旨在介绍NADCs、危险因素、微生物群的作用、诊断方法以及在艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者中进行紧急筛查和预防的必要性。HIV / AIDS Rev 2021;20, 3: 151-157 DOI: https://doi.org/10.5114/hivar.2021.109648

Introduction: Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are among the most common infectious diseases in women. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of teaching based on theory of planned behavior on preventive behaviors of STDs of married women. Material and methods: Study subjects consisted of 114 women who attended a university-affiliated hospital in Tehran, Iran. They were randomly assigned into intervention group (n = 58) and control group (n = 56). Women in intervention group participated in a four-session educational program based on a theory of planned behavior. Women in control group received a routine education. Data-gathering tool was a researcher-made questionnaire, including demographic characteristics, knowledge on sexually transmitted diseases, attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and intention for healthy behavior along with self-reported sexual behaviors. Data was analyzed using repeated measure ANOVA. Results: All constructs of the theory of planned behavior along with the knowledge and reported sexual behaviors improved significantly in intervention group in comparison to controls. The theory of planned behavior was effective in the increase of knowledge and improvement of attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and intention for healthy behaviors in married women. It was also effective in improving healthier sexual behaviors. Conclusions: Education program based on the theory of planned behavior was effective on preventive behaviors of STDs of married women. We recommend using this theory in prevention programs for sexually transmitted diseases in married women. HIV AIDS Rev 2021; 20, 4: 294-301 DOI: https://doi.org/10.5114/hivar.2021.111544
导言:性传播疾病是妇女最常见的传染病之一。本研究旨在探讨计划行为理论教学对已婚妇女性病预防行为的影响。材料和方法:研究对象包括114名在伊朗德黑兰一所大学附属医院就诊的女性。随机分为干预组(n = 58)和对照组(n = 56)。干预组的妇女参加了一个以计划行为理论为基础的四期教育项目。对照组妇女接受常规教育。数据收集工具是一份调查问卷，包括人口统计特征、性传播疾病知识、态度、主观规范、感知行为控制、健康行为意愿以及自我报告的性行为。数据分析采用重复测量方差分析。结果:干预组计划行为理论的各项构念、性行为知识和性行为报告均较对照组有显著提高。计划行为理论对提高已婚妇女对健康行为的认识和态度、主观规范、感知行为控制、意愿等方面的改善有较好的效果。它在改善健康的性行为方面也很有效。结论:以计划行为理论为基础的教育对已婚妇女性病预防行为有较好的效果。我们建议在已婚妇女的性传播疾病预防项目中使用这一理论。HIV / AIDS Rev 2021;DOI: https://doi.org/10.5114/hivar.2021.111544

Novel coronavirus disease 2019, COVID-19, has been declared as a pandemic on March 11th, 2020. The devastating impact of COVID-19 has affected every sectors and individuals worldwide. No definite and specific treatment has been discovered up till now, apart from symptomatic or experimental treatments. Individuals with chronic disease comorbidity are identified to have worse outcomes and greater risk of mortality. Moreover, certain chronic infectious disease, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), is also included as affected individuals by COVID-19 with unknown extent. Various recent studies suggested that there is no higher risk of COVID-19 among HIV-infected population, but subjects are limited. Additionally, controversies still exist regarding the outcome of COVID-19 in HIVinfected population as well as the role of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in COVID-19. Another problems regarding COVID-19 pandemic in this context impede medical access and disturb adherence to ART in HIV patients, further increasing risk of lethal morbidity and mortality of COVID-19. Because of the urgency of COVID-19 pandemic as well as chronicity, mortality, and great number of HIV infections, clinicians should be aware of the relationship between HIV infection and COVID-19. This review article summarized the association between HIV infection and COVID-19 during the pandemic, including the current evidence of ART in COVID-19.

Introduction: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become the greatest critical healthcare concern in 2020. The present study investigated the correlation between COVID-19 distribution and the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) among countries. Material and methods: Data were obtained from publicly available data on COVID-19 and HIV/AIDS, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and Global Burden of Disease (GBD). Bivariate correlation analyses were used to investigate the correlation between the variables. Results: COVID-19 cases and death ratio negatively correlated with the prevalence of HIV/AIDS (r = -0.40 and r = -0.38, p < 0.05, respectively). Conclusions: The findings indicated that in countries with high prevalence of HIV/AIDS, COVID-19 cases and death ratio were low, which could be due to the type of therapy or screening system. Nevertheless, further studies are required in this field.
