Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of HIV-1 and increasing immunosuppression on malaria parasitaemia and clinical episodes in adults in rural Uganda: a cohort study
James A. G. Whitworth,Dilys Morgan,Maria A Quigley,Adrian Smith,Billy N. Mayanja,Henry Eotu,Nicholas Omoding,Martin Okongo,Samuel S. Malamba,A. Ojwiya +9 more
TL;DR: HIV-1 infection is associated with an increased frequency of clinical malaria and parasitaemia, and this association tends to become more pronounced with advancing immunosuppression, and could have important public-health implications for sub-Saharan Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
HIV-1 infection in rural Africa: is there a difference in median time to AIDS and survival compared with that in industrialized countries?
TL;DR: Survival with HIV-1 infection is similar in Africa to industrialized countries before the use of antiretroviral therapy; when they do die, many of those in Africa are severely immunosuppressed and most have clinical features of AIDS.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Broadly consistent with results from populations of European descent, these results suggest differences in cardiometabolic traits between HIV-infected and uninfected individuals in SSA, which might be modified by ART use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progression to symptomatic disease in people infected with HIV›1 in rural Uganda: prospective cohort study
TL;DR: Progression from seroconversion to symptomatic disease in adults infected with HIV-1 seems to be rapid in rural Africa, and the high prevalence of conditions in the general population that could be taken as symptoms and signs of infection with AIDS is likely to be behind this apparent rapid disease progression.
Journal ArticleDOI
HIV-1 disease progression and fertility: the incidence of recognized pregnancy and pregnancy outcome in Uganda.
Amanda Ross,Lieve Van der Paal,Rosemary Lubega,Billy N. Mayanja,Leigh Anne Shafer,James A. G. Whitworth +5 more
TL;DR: Fertility is reduced from the earliest asymptomatic stage of HIV infection resulting from both a reduced incidence of recognized pregnancy and increased fetal loss.
