    Factors related to incomplete adherence to antiretroviral therapy among adolescents attending three HIV clinics in the Copperbelt, Zambia

    The authors assessed antiretroviral adherence among adolescents in Ndola, Zambia, using two measures: 48-hour treatment gap in prior three months and pharmacy medication possession ratio in prior six months. The findings support strengthening adolescents’ HIV management skills related to alcohol use, family engagement and the challenges adolescents face when transitioning to adulthood, especially when they are no longer in school.

    HIV treatment cascade among female entertainment and sex workers in Cambodia: Impact of amphetamine use and an HIV prevention program

    This study examines the continuum-of-care outcomes among HIV-positive, female, entertainment sex workers in Cambodia. While most women were successfully linked to HIV care, the authors found that retention and viral suppression were low. The authors suggest that tailored existing HIV/AIDS prevention programs that target the broader population of HIV-positive, female, entertainment sex workers, as well as interventions to reduce amphetamine-type stimulant use, could optimize the health benefits of HIV treatment.

    Examining geographic and socio-economic differences in outpatient and inpatient consumer expenditures for treating HIV/AIDS in Nigeria

    The authors examined the cost of household HIV/AIDS treatment to quantify the magnitude of the economic burden of HIV/AIDS to different population groups in Nigeria. Improving access to HIV treatment services and introducing financial risk protection mechanisms, such as health insurance, will reduce costs for people living with HIV and their households. The information in the study will provide a basis for increased action toward a reduction of household economic burden caused by HIV/AIDS treatment.

    Antiretroviral medication adherence and amplified HIV transmission risk among sexually active HIV-infected individuals in three diverse international settings

    Successful treatment-as-prevention requires identifying individuals at greatest risk for transmitting HIV, including those with antiretroviral therapy nonadherence or amplified HIV transmission risk. This study recruited sexually active, HIV-infected patients in Brazil, Thailand and Zambia to examine correlates in these risk categories. Results demonstrated that treatment-as-prevention efforts should consider patient psychosocial and contextual needs to be successful.
