Effect of antiretroviral therapy on recent trends in selected cancers among HIV-infected persons

Article Abstract:

The authors investigate statistical trends in seven types of cancer which are associated with HIV infection, such as Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), primary brain lymphoma (PBL), Burkitt's lymphoma, invasive cervical cancer, and others, specifically to determine if antiretroviral therapy has had any impact on their incidence. While KS had dropped more sharply in the group which had been treated with antiretroviral therapy than the group which had not, both had dropped and the difference was not significant. The incidence of PBL also decreased since antiretroviral therapy was introduced.

Antidepressant treatment improves adherence to antiretroviral therapy among depressed HIV-infected patients

Article Abstract:

Evaluation of the effect of antidepressant treatment (ADT) ion antiretroviral adherence is proposed. Depression was common, and antiretroviral adherence was higher for depressed patients prescribed and adherent to ADT compared with those neither prescribed nor adherent to ADT.

Factors that complicate the treatment of tuberculosis in HIV-infected patients

Article Abstract:

The factors that complicate anti-tuberculosis therapy in a large observational cohort of HIV-infected persons in the United States are described. Prescription of a rifamycin and a medications known to interact with rifamycins is found to occur during 270 (72.6%) episodes.
