Journal ArticleDOI
HIV-1 drug resistance in antiretroviral-naive individuals in sub-Saharan Africa after rollout of antiretroviral therapy: a multicentre observational study
Raph L. Hamers,Carole L. Wallis,Cissy Kityo,Margaret Siwale,Kishor Mandaliya,Francesca Conradie,Mariette E. Botes,Maureen Wellington,Akin Osibogun,Kim C. E. Sigaloff,Immaculate Nankya,Rob Schuurman,Ferdinand W. N. M. Wit,Wendy S. Stevens,Michèle van Vugt,Tobias F. Rinke de Wit +15 more
TL;DR: The higher prevalence of primary drug resistance in Uganda than in other African countries is probably related to the earlier start of ART roll-out in Uganda.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased tissue factor expression on circulating monocytes in chronic HIV infection: relationship to in vivo coagulation and immune activation
Nicholas T. Funderburg,Elizabeth S Mayne,Scott F. Sieg,Robert Asaad,Wei Jiang,Magdalena Kalinowska,Angel A. Luciano,Angel A. Luciano,Wendy S. Stevens,Benigno Rodriguez,Jason M. Brenchley,Daniel C. Douek,Michael M. Lederman +12 more
TL;DR: Drivers of immune activation in HIV disease, such as HIV replication, and potentially, microbial translocation, may activate clotting cascades and contribute to thrombus formation and cardiovascular morbidities in HIV infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nurse versus doctor management of HIV-infected patients receiving antiretroviral therapy (CIPRA-SA): a randomised non-inferiority trial
Ian Sanne,Catherine Orrell,Matthew P. Fox,Francesca Conradie,Prudence Ive,Jennifer Zeinecker,Morna Cornell,Christie Heiberg,Charlotte Ingram,Ravindre Panchia,Mohammed Rassool,René Gonin,Wendy S. Stevens,Handre Truter,Marjorie Dehlinger,Charles van der Horst,James McIntyre,Robin Wood +17 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared outcomes of nurse versus doctor management of ART care for HIV-infected patients, and found that nurse-monitored ART is non-inferior to doctor-controlled ART.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dried blood spots improve access to HIV diagnosis and care for infants in low-resource settings.
TL;DR: Dried blood spot collection from young infants for centralized HIV polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing is attainable in low-resource settings, provided PCR methodology suitable for routine laboratory service is available.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unnecessary Antiretroviral Treatment Switches and Accumulation of HIV Resistance Mutations; Two Arguments for Viral Load Monitoring in Africa
Kim C. E. Sigaloff,Raph L. Hamers,Carole L. Wallis,Cissy Kityo,Margaret Siwale,Prudence Ive,Mariette E. Botes,Kishor Mandaliya,Maureen Wellington,Akin Osibogun,Wendy S. Stevens,Michèle van Vugt,Tobias F. Rinke de Wit +12 more
TL;DR: Prolonged treatment failure was indicated by extensive NRTI cross-resistance and access to virological monitoring should be expanded to prevent inappropriate switches, enable early failure detection and preserve second-line treatment options in Africa.
