Background: Opportunistic infections (OI), which are still a major problem in the care of People Living with HIV (PLHIV), occur in situations of immunosuppression. The AntiRetroViral Treatments (ART) used allow a spectacular reduction in the frequency of Opportunistic Infections. Objective: The objective of this study is to present the evolution of Opportunistic Infections in People Living with HIV under AntiRetroViral Treatment in Kinshasa in the era of Dolutegravir. Methods: The present study is a prospective cohort to present the evolutionary profile of OIs in PLHIV on ART for 6 months in Outpatient Treatment Centers (OTC) in Kinshasa. Sixteen OTCs had been included. The population of the present work was patients over 18 years of age at inclusion, infected with HIV-1

Background:The HIV prevalence and incidence among the general population in Rwanda have decreased significantly in the past decade, with only about 3% prevalence as of 2019. However, opposite trends are seen among the key populations (KP). The prevalence among commercial sex workers is as high as 51%, and the HIV rates among this group continue to rise. While the prevalence among key populations remains high, their adherence to HIV treatment is low compared to the general population. Healthcare providers play a vital role in ensuring key populations’ access to HIV treatment, adherence, and program retention. This study aimed to explore the experiences of healthcare providers in providing HIV services to key populations in Rwanda.Methods:A qualitative phenomenological study was conducted with nurses, doctors, social workers, and psychologists who provide HIV services in health facilities in Rwanda. In-depth interviews were conducted using a semi-structured interview guide. Transcribed and translated data were coded according to a structured code book. All data were organized and analyzed using Dedoose software (version 8.3.35).Results: Interviews with 18 healthcare providers were conducted; participants included 1 doctor (5.6%), 5 social workers (27.8%), and 12 nurses (66.7%). All participants had worked with key populations, especially commercial sex workers and men who have sex with men. Three overarching themes emerged from the interviews: healthcare providers’ intrinsic feelings affect the ways they provide HIV services to key populations, key populations face a multitude of challenges related to accessing treatment and preventing the spread of HIV, and a more comprehensive and sensitive approach should be used to improve HIV services for key populations. Conclusion: Healthcare providers expressed difficulties in providing services to key populations as they tend not to adhere to treatment and prevention guidelines, caused by some structural barriers, their lack of trust in the system, and the discrimination and abuse they have faced. More comprehensive services including clinical, financial, and psychosocial support from trusted sources are needed. Some important policy changes may be needed to allow KPs to purchase community-based health insurance.
