“…The questionnaire was rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale ranging from very high to no effect. The sections of personal barriers, medication challenges, quality of service delivery, financial problems, perceived support, and disease disclosure included, respectively, eight items (range of 8-40), six items (range of 6-30), six items (range of 6-30), two items (range of 2-10), four items (range of 4-20), and four items (range of [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Validity and reliability of the questionnaire were previously substantiated.…”

“…Despite the fact that most patients are aware of the importance of medical therapy in improving their quality of life and increasing their life expectancy, the MA in these patients is not at an optimal level, and as mentioned in Iran, the level of MA is far from optimal 4,19 . Bandar Abbas, the largest commercial port in Iran, located in Hormoz Strait adjacent to the Persian Gulf countries, accepts many immigrants from different parts of Iran and other countries for various commercial and industrial jobs 20 . In this region, there is a high rate of risky behaviors 21 .…”

Background and AimsThe human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, also known as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), is spreading rapidly in the world, especially in developing countries, and is considered a serious health threat. This study aimed to assess the relationship of adherence antiretroviral therapy (ART) and self‐efficacy among people living with HIV.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study was conducted in March–July 2022 at the Center for Behavioral Diseases in Bandar Abbas. A total number of 208 HIV patients treated with ART entered the study after voluntarily signing an informed letter of consent. The data collection instrument was the adherence to ART questionnaire with the six subscales and the General Self‐Efficacy Scale‐17 (GSE‐17) general self‐efficacy questionnaire. Multivariate regression analysis was used to test the relationship among the variables.ResultsThe participants' mean age was 41.7 ± 8.2 years. Self‐efficacy was positively correlated with adherence ART. With every one score of increased self‐efficacy, MA increased for 0.85 score (p < 0.001) and medical challenges have the strongest correlation (r = 0.27) with self‐efficacy. The multivariable regression analysis showed that moderate and high socioeconomic status (SES) each improved MA for 18 and 22 units, respectively, compared to poor SES. Alcohol consumption reduced MA for 11 units.ConclusionThis study proved the positive relationship of self‐efficacy in adherence to ART in HIV patients. The insights offered by this research can help develop a systematic and effective intervention to promote MA in HIV patients. SES and alcohol consumption significantly affect MA.

“…LYL has been infrequently estimated for HIV/AIDS, as noted in one study [11], which measured LYL among a population in Iran and found HIV/AIDS patients had 46 fewer years of life expectancy at age 20 than the general population. Another study [12] used the USA population-based National HIV Surveillance System data to estimate life expectancy and average years of life lost (LYL) among persons aged 13 years or older from all 50 states and Washington, D.C., diagnosed with HIV infection during 2008-2011.…”

The AIDS pandemic on average took a life every minute in 2021 despite effective HIV treatment and tools to prevent, detect, and treat opportunistic infections. The objective of this study was to estimate the average life expectancy and life years lost (LYL) in people diagnosed with HIV or AIDS in Puerto Rico from 2000-2020. The epidemiological design was a retrospective cohort study of 24,143 people diagnosed with HIV or AIDS and received services under the Eligible Metropolitan Area (EMA) of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The population with a diagnosis of HIV or AIDS was described using socioeconomic characteristics with frequencies and proportions by category. We estimated the LYL by matching the expected residual lifetime for someone diagnosed with the disease with the life expectancy of the general population at that specific age as the null model. Average years of life lost (LYL) is a measure that reflects expected earlier death as a result of a condition. The number of LYL is dependent on the year of onset of the condition. In general, the earlier the onset of HIV or AIDS results in a larger impact of LYL. For individuals diagnosed at the age of 30 with AIDS the LYL is approximately 35.5 years, whereas for an individual where the onset is at age 70 years, being diagnosed with HIV or AIDS results in approximately 2.7 years lost. In our study, we found a greater number of LYL in patients diagnosed with AIDS in this population compared to those diagnosed with HIV. This study confirms the dramatic impact of HIV and AIDS on the lifespan of individuals and how the age of onset of the conditions impacts LYL.

“…In Iran, the insufficient number of economic studies on HIV is evident to find community-based and costeffective programs (23). Given the lack of financial resources in health systems in developing countries, costeffectiveness analysis of both active and passive screening methods can help clarify the economic outcomes of these methods and also helps the policymakers and program managers to make informed decisions about resource allocation, thus allowing them to choose the most effective and efficient method by considering available resources through reviewing alternatives to achieve their goals.…”

Cost-Effectiveness of Active Screening for Early Identification of HIV in Injection Drug Users

et al. 2021

Background: Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is a behavioral disorder that can be detected via two methods, including active and passive screening. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of screening strategies of HIV/AIDS among Injection Drug Users (IDUs) referring to the Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) center and Drop-in Center (DIC) of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. Methods: This was a cross-sectional cost-effectiveness analysis to compare the cost-effectiveness of the two active and passive screening methods in 2015. The decision tree model, along with the TreeAge11 software, was used to analyze the data. Results: The averages of cost and effectiveness were $989 and 987 subjects in the active screening method while they were $1,767 and 209 subjects in the passive screening method, respectively. The Incremental Cost-effectiveness Ratio (ICER) to early-diagnosed and averted cases was $855/39 for the active screening method and $1528/90 for the passive screening method. According to the findings of the study, the active screening method is more cost-effective than its passive counterpart. Conclusions: According to the findings of the study, the active screening method is more cost-effective than its passive counterpart, and it is recommended to be used in these cases.
