The incidence of jejunogastric intussusception (JGI) after gastric surgery is 0.1%. We report a case of JGI after pancreaticoduodenectomy in a patient with HIV. After presenting to the hospital with abdominal pain and emesis, a CT abdomen/pelvis showed evidence of gastrojejunal anastomosis intussusception into the stomach. Oesophagogastroduodenoscopy was performed, but endoscopic reduction was unsuccessful. Exploratory laparotomy was subsequently performed with a successful reduction of the intussusception and resection of a portion of the small bowel. With only five previously reported cases of JGI after pancreaticoduodenectomy, our case is novel in that it describes JGI in a patient with HIV on highly active antiretroviral therapy, which has been associated with an increased risk of intussusception. While rare, we highlight the importance of having high clinical suspicion for intussusception in patients with risk factors who present with abdominal pain after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Timely diagnosis is critical to optimise patient outcomes.

Limited data exists concerning the fertility desires of young people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in China, making it difficult to develop appropriate reproductive health service policies and interventions for them. Extensive fieldwork was carried out from April to May 2021 in 10 selected survey sites across five provinces, targeting all young men aged between 18 and 24 years living with HIV. The association between independent variables and fertility desires was determined using Chi-square tests and Multivariate binary logistic regression models.

Magnitude of Depression and Associated Factors in Women Living With HIV in Northwest, Ethiopia: Mediation Analysis.

AIDS Res Treat

Department of Health Promotion and Behavioral Sciences, Institute of Public Health, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Gondar, Gondar, Ethiopia.

Depression in women living with HIV (WLWHIV), is one of the most common public health concerns worldwide. Depression has a negative impact on antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence, quality of life, poor HIV treatment outcomes, and mortality. However, there is a paucity of evidence in low-income countries such as Ethiopia in WLWHIV.

Background: In recent years, HIV self-testing (HIVST) has emerged as a promising approach to enhance accessibility and uptake of HIV testing, particularly among populations at high risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Despite its potential benefits, the effectiveness, and challenges of HIVST warrant careful examination to inform public health strategies effectively. This study investigates the effectiveness and challenges of HIV self-testing (HIVST) in populations at high risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
