Patient Responses on Quality of Care and Satisfaction with Staff After Integrated HIV Care in South African Primary Health Care Clinics
HIV care integrated into primary health care (PHC) encourages reorganized service delivery but could increase workload. In 2012-2013, we surveyed 910 patients and caregivers at two time points after integration in four clinics in Free State, South Africa. Likert surveys measured quality of care (QoC) and satisfaction with staff (SwS). QoC scores were lower for females, those older than 56  years, those visiting clinics every 3 months, and child health participants. Regression estimates showed QoC scores higher for ages 36-45 versus 18-25 years, and lower for those attending clinics for more than 10 years versus 6-12 m...

Supervised Physical Activity and Improved Functional Capacity among Adults Living with HIV: A Systematic Review
Physical Activity (PA) combats the effects of multi-morbidity and antiretroviral therapy in people living with HIV (PLWH), but PLWH often don ’t meet recommended PA guidelines. The purpose of our review was to investigate whether supervised PA improved functional capacity in PLWH. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses were followed. Five databases were searched for randomized controlled trials in English, wi th participants ages 18 years and older, and a supervised PA intervention.

Building Quality Improvement Capacity for HIV Programs in Sub-Saharan Africa: An Innovative, Mixed Method Training Course
The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS ’ (UNAIDS, 2014) 90:90:90 goals aim for 90% of all people living with HIV to know their HIV status, 90% of people diagnosed with HIV to receive antiretroviral therapy (ART), and 90% of all people receiving ART to achieve viral suppression by 2020. HIV programs in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) have made remarkable progress, but many countries will need to double the number of people on ART within the next 2 years while maintaining and improving program quality in order to achieve these ambitious targets.

A content analysis study: Concerns of Indonesian women infected with HIV by husbands who used intravenous drugs
Few international studies document the concerns of women living with HIV (WLWH) who were infected by their intravenous drug using husbands. Our content analysis described the concerns of this population by analyzing 12 interviews with WLWH. Three main concerns were discussed by the women: dealing with anger and being a dedicated wife, going home to one ’s parents as the only place to go, and being strong and staying alive for the children. Dealing with their own emotional responses to the HIV diagnosis, lacking financial resources after the husband’s death, and remaining focused on staying healthy were major issues in ...

Adherence in ART: A Comment on Pi ña et al. (2017)
The article by Pi ña and colleagues (2017) brings much needed attention to the hitherto neglected public health problem of poor adherence to antiretroviral treatment (ART) among marginalized and vulnerable sexual minorities (men who have sex with men, transgender). The authors rightly recommended the urgent need to develop scalable evidence-based interventions for improving health outcomes in these groups. However, there is a methodological concern with regard to the assessment of adherence in this study, which can be clarified by the author and perhaps addressed in future research.

Breaking down barriers to tell: A mixed methods study of health worker involvement in disclosing to children that they are living with HIV in rural South Africa
Disclosing to a child that s/he is living with HIV is necessary to promote adherence to treatment and improve health outcomes. Facilitating disclosure between caregivers and children remains a challenge for health workers. Understanding how health workers are involved in and perceive the disclosure process is integral to engaging with such challenges. We held group discussions with and surveyed 73 physicians, nurses, and counselors across 16 randomly selected facilities in 2 rural South African health districts exploring their experiences of supporting disclosure between caregivers and children.

Experiences and perceptions of Black men who have sex with men about acquiring HIV: A qualitative narrative perspective
In the United States, Black men who have sex with men (MSM), between the ages of 18 and 34 years, have the highest rates of new HIV infections. The prevalence of HIV in this population is 3 to 4 times higher than their White MSM counterparts. 12 Black MSM, 9 with HIV and 3 without HIV, from the Bay Area were interviewed regarding their experiences and perceived risks of acquiring HIV. Narrative analysis revealed these themes: (a) tested regularly for HIV, (b) HIV knowledge varied before arriving in San Francisco, (c) condom use typically non-existent when under the influence of alcohol and other drugs, (d) inability to neg...
