Aims
To assess the prevalence of pulmonary TB in severely malnourished children and evaluate TB detection using the urine lipoarabinomannan antigen assay (TB-LAM).
Methods
A retrospec...

The ability to understand another’s emotions and act appropriately, empathy, is an important mediator of
relationship function and health intervention fidelity. We adapted the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) – an empathy
scale – among seroconcordant expectant couples with HIV in the Homens par...
Complete follow-up of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-exposed infants (HEI) is crucial for a successful prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission. This study analyzed the HEI follow-up and factors associated with loss to follow-up (LTFU) in southern Mozambique.
Methods: This retrospective cohort...

It is often assumed that children and their caregivers either stay in care together or discontinue together, but data is lacking on caregiver–child retention concordance. We sought to describe the pattern of care among a cohort of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected children and mothers enrolle...
Examinamos os fatores associados ao rastreamento do vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV) e desenvolvemos um mapa de superfície de prevalência de rastreamento de HIV usando técnicas de interpolação espacial para identificar as áreas geográficas com as maiores e menores taxas de rastreamento de ...

Introduction: With improved access to anti-retroviral therapy (ART) the focus of HIV treatment is changing to reducing chronic co-morbidities and their effects, but guidelines for HIV care in many African countries do not include screening for cardiac disease. Our study aimed to determine the pattern of ...
Recent studies suggest that a large proportion of new HIV-1 infections in mature epidemics occurs within discordant couples, making discordancy a major contributor to the spread of HIV/AIDS in Africa. This paper aims at assessing changes over a five-year period (2009-2015) on the (risk) factors associate...
Background: There is scare information about HIV co-infections with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and/or hepatitis C virus (HCV) among People Who Inject Drugs (PWID) in Mozambique. This information is critical to ensure the treatment necessary to decrease the progression of liver disease and the transmission o...
