Suubi+Adherence study protocol: A family economic empowerment intervention addressing HIV treatment adherence for perinatally infected adolescents
2019, Contemporary Clinical Trials CommunicationsCitation Excerpt :Thus, perinatally infected children, as a group, continue to grow although not at as high a rate as in the past. [9], Moreover, with increasing access to ART, a generation of children in SSA hitherto expected not to reach their 5th birthday will be entering adolescence, with a growing number of them surviving and coping with HIV as a chronic and transmittable illness [13–15]. Indeed, similar to findings from pediatric HIV cohort studies in countries with longstanding access to ART, many of these adolescents will experience compromised health, inconsistent ART adherence, elevated mental health difficulties, and risk behaviors with individual and public health consequences, including HIV transmission to others [6–11].
Perinatally acquired HIV infection in adolescents from sub-Saharan Africa: A review of emerging challenges
2014, The Lancet Infectious DiseasesCitation Excerpt :Although often deferred in early childhood,139,140 disclosure of HIV status becomes crucial as children approach cognitive maturity and puberty. Young adults have to make decisions about sexual relationships and plan for the future, and these decisions can only be made with an accurate understanding of the nature of their illness.141 Although the benefits of disclosure are considerable, informing a child of his or her own HIV status is often delayed.
Disclosure of HIV status to HIV-infected children in a large African treatment center: Lessons learned in Botswana
2014, Children and Youth Services ReviewCitation Excerpt :As the rollout of highly active antiretroviral therapy brings life and hope to children infected with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa (UNICEF, 2008), urgent attention needs to be given to how best to support medication adherence and psychosocial health among children receiving treatment in areas with high HIV prevalence and limited resources (Weigel et al., 2009). Disclosure of the child's HIV status to the child in a supportive way is an essential aspect of this assistance (Bikaako-Kajura et al., 2006; Corneli et al., 2009; Domek, 2006; Ferris et al., 2007; Menon, Glazebrook, Campain, & Ngoma, 2007; L. Vaz et al., 2008). The need for successful models of disclosure of HIV status to HIV-infected children has been highlighted by numerous authors (Arun, Singh, Lodha, & Kabra, 2009; Bikaako-Kajura et al., 2006; Boon-Yasidhi et al., 2005; Lesch et al., 2007; Myer, Moodley, Hendricks, & Cotton, 2006; Nostlinger et al., 2004; Oberdorfer et al., 2006b; Vreeman, Gramelspacher, Gisore, Scanlon, & Nyandiko, 2013).
