“…This finding is in line with several previous studies. 17,20,25 So, this study showed a strong association between age and acquiring OIs. However, in contrast to this finding, a study by Majigo et al found that as the age of the patient increases, the risk of acquiring an OI will decrease.…”

Background: Opportunistic infections (OIs) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)positive individuals are infections that are more frequent or more severe than normal because of HIV-mediated immunosuppression. When these OIs occur in acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients in the form of relapse or reinfection, they are said to be a reoccurrence of OI. This study will try to identify gaps in addressing the burden in the study area. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 450 HIV/AIDS patients with previous OIs attending a public health facility in Arba Minch Town, Southern Ethiopia. This study was conducted from 5 April 2020 to 20 April 2020. Computer-generated simple random sampling was used to select the study participants. Analysis was performed using SPSS version 25 statistical software. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with the reoccurrence of OIs. A P value of ≤0.05 was used to determine significant association. The results were reported as numerical figures, tables, and diagrams, based on the type of data. Results: The mean ± standard deviation age of the 450 study participants was 34.3±8.47 years. Eighty patients (17.8%) had chronic disease. In total, 119 HIV/AIDS patients (26.4%) were diagnosed with reoccurrence of OIs. Pulmonary tuberculosis was the major reoccurring OI. Age, rural residence, chronic disease, baseline anti-retroviral therapy (ART) adherence, current hemoglobin level, and current cell differentiation-4 (CD4) count were factors significantly associated with reoccurrence. Conclusion:Although the magnitude of reoccurrence of OIs was lower than in previous studies, efforts have to be continued among stakeholders to tackle factors associated with the reoccurrence of OIs.

“…Only one study compared HCV co-infection in HIV positive MSM vs HIV positive heterosexual men attending the same HIV service. 37 Injecting drug use was more prevalent in HIV positive heterosexuals than in MSM (46.8% vs 2.4%). Consequently, HIV-HCV co-infection was higher in heterosexual males (55%) than MSM (4.9%).…”

BACKGROUND: Opportunistic infection (OI) is the most significant complication of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Differences in the characteristics of HIV patients make the prevalence of Opportunistic infection different between regions. The study aimed to identify variables associated with OI incidence among HIV-infected patients in Semarang City, Indonesia.METHODS: This study uses secondary data sourced from special HIV surveillance for 2019-2021 with a cross-sectional method. 1362 HIV patients with variables health care facilities; year of diagnosis; area of residence; age; sex; pregnancy status; occupation; risk factors; risk group determined based on purposive sampling were included in the chi-square analysis and logistic regression.RESULTS: This study showed 12.3% (n=167) of HIV patients experienced OI, where OI was more common in HIV patients with risk groups of sex workers (28.70%), high-risk partners (18.60%), and Male Sex with Men (MSM) (15.40). The most common types of OI were tuberculosis infection (43%), candidiasis (21%), and diarrhea (9%). Age was the variable most associated with the incidence of OI (p-value 0.001).CONCLUSIONS: Age groups 45-54 years and 55-64 years have the most influential association with Opportunistic infection incidence in HIV patients, so planning an appropriate intervention program for this subpopulation is necessary.
