Cardiometabolic disease risk and HIV status in rural South Africa: establishing a baseline
BACKGROUND To inform health care and training, resource and research priorities, it is essential to establish how non-communicable disease risk factors vary by HIV-status in high HIV burden areas; and whether long-term anti-retroviral therapy (ART) plays a modifying role. METHODS As part of a cohort initiation, we conducted a baseline HIV/cardiometabolic risk factor survey in 2010-2011 using ...
متن کاملImpact of nurse-delivered community-based CD4 services on facilitating pre-ART care in rural South Africa
BACKGROUND HIV testing, diagnosis and treatment programs have expanded globally, particularly in resource-limited settings. Diagnosis must be followed by determination of treatment eligibility and referral to care prior to initiation of antiretroviral treatment (ART).

متن کاملLeveraging Rapid Community-Based HIV Testing Campaigns for Non-Communicable Diseases in Rural Uganda
BACKGROUND The high burden of undiagnosed HIV in sub-Saharan Africa limits treatment and prevention efforts. Community-based HIV testing campaigns can address this challenge and provide an untapped opportunity to identify non-communicable diseases (NCDs). We tested the feasibility and diagnostic yield of integrating NCD and communicable diseases into a rapid HIV testing and referral campaign fo...
متن کاملHypertension and Obesity in Adults Living in a High HIV Prevalence Rural Area in South Africa
Hypertension and excess body weight are major risk factors of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in developing countries. In countries with a high HIV prevalence, it is unknown how increased antiretroviral treatment and care (ART) coverage has affected the prevalence of overweight, obesity, and hypertension. We conducted a health survey in 2010 based on the WHO STEPwise approach in 14,198 a...
متن کاملIncidence and predictors of hypertension in adults with HIV-initiating antiretroviral therapy in south-western Uganda.
OBJECTIVE The successful scale-up of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in sub-Saharan Africa has led to increasing life expectancy, and thus increased risk of hypertension. We aimed to describe the incidence and predictors of hypertension in HIV patients receiving ART at a publicly funded clinic in rural Uganda. METHODS We abstracted data from medical records of adult patients who initiated ART at...
