In 25 persons having HIV infection with different dynamics of the progress of the disease the content of lymphocyte populations was studied (by the methods of rosette formation and with the use of monoclonal antibodies) and the rosette-forming and functional metabolic activity of neutrophils was determined. In comparison with patients with a stable course of HIV, patients with relatively rapid progress infection were found to have a significantly lesser amount of E-rosette-forming cells (E-RFC), active E-RFC, theophylline resistant E-RFC, E-rosette-forming neutrophils (E-RFN) and active E-RFN in combination with a significantly higher neutrophil and phosphatase activity and a significantly higher content of cation proteins. These characteristics may be used as criteria for prognosis of HIV infection progression.

The most significant progress in addressing the HIV/AIDS epidemic has been the development of antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, ensuring a high degree of treatment adherence is necessary to prevent resistance and disease progression. We conducted a cross-sectional study to evaluate adherence to ART through the calculation of the medication possession ratio (MPR) and to identify risk factors for suboptimal adherence in a cohort of HIV-positive patients receiving care at a Colombian healthcare institution across 16 cities.

Epstein-Barr virus-associated smooth muscle tumors (EBV-SMTs) represent a rare category of soft tissue tumors that are predominantly seen in individuals with compromised immune systems. Pathologically, EBV-SMT has malignant potential because of its unpredictable nature. These tumors can manifest at various anatomical sites or even multiple lesions in different locations.

The breadth of the overdose crisis is underestimated because of a lack of quantifying nonfatal overdoses. We estimate the proportion of nonfatal overdoses among all people with HIV (PWH) in British Columbia, Canada, and the prevalence of fatal overdoses among people who had a nonfatal overdose, stratified by sex. A small proportion of PWH who experienced a nonfatal overdose subsequently died of a fatal overdose, signaling opportunities for crucial interventions and treatment to prevent overdose death.
