This study aimed to investigate the relationship between mental health and social capital in HIV patients in North of Iran. Material and methods: In this cross-sectional study, 49 persons with HIV referred to the consultation center of welfare organization in 2017 were included. Social capital of participants was measured by Bullen's social capital scale. Mental health questionnaire (GHQ-28) was used to determine the condition of mental health. Data were analyzed with SPSS 21 software. Pearson’s correlation and regression analysis were applied to investigate the relation between variables. Results: The mean score was 59.2 ± 13.3 for social capital and 31.4 ± 12.2 for mental health. There was a significant relationship between the total score of social capital with better economic condition (p = 0.01, r = 0.33), lower duration of illness (p = 0.001, r = 0.47), and having insurance (p = 0.007, r = 0.38). The correlation between variables showed a negative and significant relationship between dimensions of feeling of trust and safety (r = –0.45, p = 0.002), activity in a social context (r = –0.41, p = 0.004), and value of life (r = –0.81, p = 0.001) with mental health. Conclusions: According to the study results, with increasing attention to health determinants and social capital as one of the international principles of health, mental health of people with AIDS should be promoted.

The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence and factors associated with the consumption of tobacco and alcohol in adult population living with HIV as well as the clinical­epidemiological characteristics of the sample. Material and methods: A cross­sectional study was carried out with 381 participants diagnosed with HIV, whose information on smoking and alcohol habits, adherence to treatments, socio­demographic data, and lifestyles were collected through both electronic and printed questionnaires. Results: The results showed that half of the individuals were smokers, with significant percentage having a moderate or high motivation to quit smoking. Moreover, it was observed that the participants classified in the group of high alcohol consumption with AUDIT test were less adherent to pharmaco­ logical treatment. On the other hand, it should be noted that 49.3% of the sample suffered from some pathology, with cardiovascular disease being the most prevalent. Conclusions: Therefore, from a clinical point of view and due to the above­mentioned reasons, it seems essential to address the consumption of tobacco and alcohol in individuals living with HIV. Along with proper health education and support offered, it can positively influence their lives in gen­ eral, and at the same time, provide better HIV control.","PeriodicalId":53943,"journal":{"name":"HIV & AIDS Review","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72694463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Knowledge and attitude about these diseases and demographic characteristics of people have and important role in reduction of their incidence and prevalence. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the relationship between demographic variables and knowledge, attitude and practice of young people regarding STDs Material and methods: This study is a descriptive cross-sectional study, 500 students including were participated in 2018. Cluster random sampling was applied through the selection of various universities and colleges in 5 Azad units: North, South, East, West and Center of Tehran. Students were studying in art, human science, engineering, base science etc., majoring in B.A. and B.Sc. degrees. The data gathering tool was a researcher-made questionnaire. Its validity was confirmed by content and face validity. Reliability was assessed using the test-re-test method. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 21 software and descriptive and analytical statistical tests such as t test and ANOVA. Results: There was no significant relationship between students’ mean knowledge and gender (p = 0.434), but relationships of attitude and practice (risk and preventive) with gender (p < 0.001) and knowledge, and attitude (p < 0.001) with marital status were observed, female gender being associated with better attitude and practice and married women having better knowledge and attitude. The ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis test and the least significant difference (LSD) test showed no significant difference between the students of Azad University and their field of study with their knowledge. Conclusions: Intervention in the study population was needed in order to increase awareness, change attitude and reduce risky behaviors and integrate education of sexually transmitted diseases in the academic curriculum. On the other hand, the establishment of valid websites, weblogs and valid channels in social media by medical universities is recommended because students reported Internet and social media as the most common way of getting information about STDs, with the focus on male students and single students, who need more education and attention.

The importance of visual acuity, in any individual is obvious, and heightened importance in those afflicted by disorders is even more crucial. In this context, this study reports details of a comprehensive ocular evaluation in a HIV population, and its’ correlation with severity of the disease. The aim of the study was to determine the incidence of ocular manifestation and correlate CD4+ count levels, with incidence of ocular manifestations in HIV-positive patients. Material and methods: This was a cross-sectional study that evaluated ophthalmic manifestations in patients diagnosed with HIV infection in an urban ophthalmological center. Detailed ophthalmological examination was conducted. Various parameters of the disease and severity of HIV were estimated and correlated with ophthalmological findings. Results: In 2 years, 300 HIV-positive (229 males) patients, mostly aged between 30 and 40 years, were assessed. 69 (23%) patients were found to have ocular manifestation, 73.9% were in the range of 0-5 years of HIV duration, 28 (9.3%) patients presented with anterior segment and 62 (26.6%) with posterior segment pathology, like HIV retinopathy. Cytomegalovirus retinitis poor visual acuity was observed in females (20.5%), aged 0-35 years, with HIV duration of 0-5 years and CD4+ count less than 200. Conclusions: The focus on a comprehensive ocular evaluation, irrespective of visual acuity and possi-bility of improvement in ocular follow-up of HIV-infected patients needs to be emphasized.","PeriodicalId":53943,"journal":{"name":"HIV & AIDS Review","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83317005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, treatment defaulting is a prominent challenge in development of drug resistance and eventually, leads to treatment failure. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of defaulting and associated factors among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in the Ayder Referral Hospital, Tigray. Material and methods: Defaulters were individuals who failed to take medication two or more doses in a single clinical appointment. Retrospective cohort study was employed to obtain socio-demographic data and the status of ART use among PLWHA in the study hospital. Semi-structured interview was conducted to obtain data on factors associated with defaulting treatment. In-depth focused group discussion was done with those who attended subsequent conversations made at the hospital. Telephone call was performed to those who were reluctant to attend the discussions. Results: Data were presented using simple descriptive statistics. Of 240 patients who initiated ART, 160 (66.6%) were active users and 80 (34%) had missed more than one clinical appointment. Out of those 80, 58 (24.16%) were defaulters and 22 (9.16%) died. Self-referral to other hospital, lack of food, social stigma, spiritual healing, and loss of interest in medication were the commonest reasons for defaulting ART medication. Tracing was not successful due to incorrect address at the register in 12 (21%) of the defaulters.. Conclusions: Socio-economic factors appear to be the root of all reasons associated with ART default. ART clinic staffs should make sure that the address given at the register is genuine to facilitate adherence assessment.
