HIV
As researchers progress in finding a cure for HIV, it is crucial to understand how analytical treatment interruptions (ATIs) interact with HIV-specific immune responses. A new study published in Current Opinion in HIV and AIDS discussed the importance of carefully designed ATIs in evaluating new therapies. According to the research,
Cocaine
A rare case of celiac artery dissection in a patient with HIV infection and recent cocaine use has been reported, highlighting the potential synergistic role of cocaine's hemodynamic effects and HIV-associated vasculopathy in precipitating visceral arterial dissection. According to the research, the patient presented with acute epigastric pain

Cardiovascular diseases
Research conducted at the Biomedical Research and Training Institute in Harare, Zimbabwe, has shed light on the cardiovascular disease (CVD) burden among young people living with HIV. The study, published in Current Atherosclerosis Reports, synthesizes current evidence on the CVD burden in this population and highlights critical gaps in understanding
HIV
Researchers have conducted a systematic review and qualitative meta-aggregation to explore the experiences and perspectives of mothers living with HIV towards digital-based interventions for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV. The study aimed to identify the acceptability, needs, concerns, and barriers to digital-based interventions in promoting PMTCT services
HIV
According to recent research presented by the University of California, geriatric syndromes are multifactorial age-related changes that are associated with functional decline in women living with HIV (WWH). The study found that WWH demonstrate an increased risk for osteoporosis and cognitive decline compared to men and to women without HIV,
Cardiovascular diseases
Researchers have found that people living with HIV (PLHIV) are at a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to the presence of HIV infection. This increased risk is attributed to higher levels of inflammation and immune activation associated with the virus. A recent study published in PeerJ has
Adults
A new systematic review and meta-analysis has found that the pooled prevalence of undernutrition among HIV-positive adults in Ethiopia is significantly high, with a pooled prevalence of 26.70% (95% CI: 21.31%, 32.10%). The study, conducted by researchers at Wolaita Sodo University, identified opportunistic infections (OIs), advanced WHO

HIV
The increasing complexity of HIV care is outpacing traditional treatment approaches, with individuals living with HIV experiencing age-related co-morbidities and taking multiple medications, presenting a significant challenge for healthcare providers. Research from Imperial College London highlights inconsistencies in defining and assessing polypharmacy in HIV research, with some studies relying on
