Impact of HIV infection on access to cancer care and survival among women with invasive cervical cancer in Côte d'Ivoire: A prospective cohort study. [PDF]
Abstract Objective To assess the impact of HIV on access to invasive cervical cancer (ICC) care and overall survival (OS) in a time of universal access to antiretroviral therapy (ART). Methods A cohort of women prospectively diagnosed with ICC was consecutively recruited from 2018 to 2020 in public/private cancer centers in Côte d'Ivoire.

Long-term risk and predictors of high-risk human papillomavirus persistence after thermal ablation amongst women living with HIV in West Africa. [PDF]
Abstract Introduction Mounting evidence supports the use of thermal ablation in women positively screened with high‐risk Human Papillomaviruses (hrHPV) but limited data are available on the long‐term post‐treatment outcomes in women living with HIV (WLHIV).

Performance of visual inspection, partial genotyping, and their combination for the triage of women living with HIV who are screen positive for human papillomavirus: Results from the AIMA-CC ANRS 12375 multicentric screening study. [PDF]
What's New? Screening for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is important for cervical cancer screening, but it is also necessary to identify HPV+ women who have high‐grade cervical lesions and require treatment. Here, the authors compared different triage methods: visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA), HPV genotyping and partial genotyping, and a

Growth functions of periodic space tessellations. [PDF]
For any periodic tilings of the plane by congruent polygons, growth functions are derived that count the numbers of vertices, edges and faces as the coverage expands. The functions are computed as polynomial formulas in a Python program and analyzed graphically using orphic diagrams.This work analyzes the rules governing the growth of the numbers of ...

High-risk human papillomavirus distribution according to human immunodeficiency virus status among women with cervical cancer in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, 2018 to 2020. [PDF]
What's new? HIV favours the persistence of high‐risk HPV and progression of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia to cancer, with universal access to antiretroviral therapy also possibly influencing high‐risk HPV distribution. This report addresses the timely question of the contributing role of HIV infection in high‐risk HPV distribution among women with

Impact of switching to a dolutegravir-based regimen on body weight changes: insights from West African adult HIV cohorts. [PDF]
Abstract Introduction Adverse metabolic effects related to dolutegravir (DTG) are increasingly reported as countries are adopting DTG‐based regimens as first‐line antiretroviral therapy (ART), but there is limited data from sub‐Saharan Africa. We explored changes in body weight pre‐ and post‐switch to a DTG‐based regimen and assessed the association ...

Abstract Introduction Common mental disorders (CMDs) are highly prevalent among people with HIV. Integrating mental healthcare into HIV care may improve mental health and HIV treatment outcomes. We describe the reported availability of screening and treatment for depression, anxiety and post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) at global HIV treatment ...

Sickle cell anaemia (SCA) is a widespread genetic disease in Africa, associated with chronic hemolytic anaemia and vaso‐occlusive and infectious complications. The most commonly used means of management and treatment such as blood transfusions and allografting are expensive and predispose patients to the risk of infections. This research study aimed at
