Background: Opt-out HIV testing is offered at 70% of antenatal care (ANC) clinics in Mozambique through the
prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) program. If routine data from this program were of sufficient
quality, their heightened coverage and continuous availability could complement or e...

HIV proviral DNA integration into the host chromosome is carried out by integrase becoming an important arget antiretroviral therapy. Raltegravir was the first integrase inhibitor approved for use in HIV therapy andelvitegravir is in the late phase of clinical development; both show good results in monot...

The scale-up of effective HIV viral load (VL) testing is an urgent public health priority. Implementation of testing
is supported by the availability of accurate, nucleic acid based laboratory and point-of-care (POC) VL technologies and strong
WHO guidance recommending routine testing to identify treatme...
Background: The prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in Mozambique is one of the highest in the world, though in spite of this the prevalence of occult hepatitis B infection (OBI) is unknown.

Background HIV/ HBVcoinfected patients are at high risk of developing chronic HBV infection, liver cir rhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. In Mozambique, where HIV prevalence is one of the highest in the world, HIV-infected patients are scarcely characterized in terms of HBV coin fection and 3TC-resista...

Introduction: Point-of-care (POC) CD4 testing can improve access to treatment by enabling decentralization and reducing patient loss-to-follow-up. As new POC CD4 technologies become available, their performance should be assessed before widespread deployment. This study reports the findings of five indep...
Objectives: To compare HIV care quality provided by non-physician clinicians (NPC) and physicians.
Design: Retrospective cohort study assessing the relationship between provider cadre and HIV care quality among non-pregnant adult patients initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART) in the national HIV care ...
