Journal ArticleDOI

Life expectancy trends in adults on antiretroviral treatment in South Africa.

TL;DR: Although life expectancies in South African ART patients have improved over time, these improvements are not observed after controlling for changes in baseline CD4+ cell count and ART duration, which suggests that changes in clinical practice and programme scale have had little impact on ART mortality in South Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI

Can Short-Term Use of Electronic Patient Adherence Monitoring Devices Improve Adherence in Patients Failing Second-Line Antiretroviral Therapy? Evidence from a Pilot Study in Johannesburg, South Africa

TL;DR: In patients with an elevated viral load on second-line ART electronic adherence monitoring was associated with a modest, but not significant, improvement in viral suppression.
Journal ArticleDOI

The right combination - treatment outcomes among HIV-positive patients initiating first-line fixed-dose antiretroviral therapy in a public sector HIV clinic in Johannesburg, South Africa.

TL;DR: Fixed-dose combination single-pill regimens may have a role to play in supporting patient adherence and medical monitoring through improved medical visit attendance and may potentially improve treatment outcomes later on in treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved simplified clinical algorithm for identifying patients eligible for immediate initiation of antiretroviral therapy for HIV (SLATE II): protocol for a randomized evaluation

TL;DR: SLATE II improves upon the SLATE I study by reducing the number of reasons for delaying ART initiation and allowing more patients with TB symptoms to start ART on the day of diagnosis, and can readily be adopted in other settings without investment in additional technology.
