People living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection who have hepatitis B or C infection have a higher chance of developing advanced liver disease than those who do not have either of the hepatitis infections. This finding highlights the importance of awareness, screening, and treatment of the hepatitis viruses in HIV programs in order to reduce the risk of liver disease in this population.

Objectives: This study investigated the impact of obesity on survival outcomes among women with advanced EOC in Lagos, Nigeria.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness and safety of intravenous iron (ferric carboxymaltose) compared to oral iron (ferrous sulfate) in treating anemia and iron deficiency in pregnant women in Nigeria.
- Conducted as a randomized controlled trial, the research focused on pregnant women with low hemoglobin levels from various health facilities in Nigeria, while adhering to specific exclusion criteria.
- The trial aimed to evaluate primary outcomes including maternal anemia at 36 weeks of gestation and the incidence of preterm births, noting that a significant number of screened participants were found ineligible for the study.
Background: Given the synergistic relationship between human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, knowledge of the genotypic prevalence and associated factors of high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) among HIV-infected women is crucial for developing targeted interventions such as appropriate screening tests and effective genotype-specific vaccination.
Objectives: We determined the prevalence of any HR-HPV and multiple HR-HPV infections and identified associated factors among a cohort of women living with HIV infections (WLHIV) in Lagos, Nigeria.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study analysed the data of 516 WLHIV who underwent cervical cancer screening as part of the at the HIV treatment centre of Lagos University Teaching Hospital from July 2023 to March 2024.
Background: Despite the availability of effective vaccines, human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine uptake remains low in most resource-limited settings including Nigeria. Mobile health technology (mHealth) may empower patients to control their health, reduce inequalities, and improve the uptake of HPV vaccination.
Aim: The study will assess the effects of mHealth using short text messages on the uptake of HPV vaccination among mothers of unvaccinated girls aged 9-14 years and also determine the factors influencing the uptake of HPV vaccination among these mothers.
