This study seeks to explore the perceptions and knowledge surrounding HIV/AIDS among Black women, to contribute to social work and public health knowledge.

Chima O. Onwuka-Kalu , Ejike F. Chukwurah
Dolutegravir, an integrase strand transfer inhibitor has been found to affect anthropometric indices. A total of 40 subjects comprising 19 male and 21 female were recruited for the study and apparently healthy sex and age matched individuals who tested sero-negative to HIV screening were used as controls. Standard weighing scale and measuring tape were used to determine body mass index (BMI) and Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR).

Background: Frailty is increasingly recognized in older people living with HIV (PLWH), but optimal diagnostics are yet to be determined. Frailty indices (FI) represent an accumulation of health deficits shown to correlate better with mortality and adverse effects of aging than the frailty phenotype or chronological age. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of frailty assessments in PLWH aged ≥ 50 years in a multidisciplinary urban HIV clinic. Frailty was assessed using Frailty Phenotype (FP) and a new 40-variable clinical composite FI derived from routine clinical and laboratory data (CCFI).
