Article Synopsis
- HIV/AIDS remains a leading cause of death in sub-Saharan Africa, but antiretroviral therapies (ARTs) have improved health outcomes and reduced morbidity, mortality, and opportunistic infections (OIs) among patients.* -
- A study was conducted in Gabon using data from 2017 to 2019 to identify risk factors for OIs in HIV patients on ART, analyzing 223 participants through various biological tests and statistical methods.* -
- The findings revealed that 57.9% of patients developed OIs, with a significant prevalence of bacterial and viral infections, and highlighted a link between low CD4 T-cell counts and male gender as risk factors for OI occurrence.*
