“…Differentiated care, such as community adherence groups in Mozambique, can be extended to adolescents on ART in underserved areas [ 36 ]. A community-based transition intervention can help alleviate the heightened stigma adolescents experience at this developmental stage of their lives [ 37 ]. Extending interventions beyond the health system could be a possible solution to the social determinants of health, particularly for adolescents on ART [ 38 ].…”

Globally, adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) experience poor health outcomes such as low retention in care, ART non-adherence and viral non-suppression. These outcomes coincide with the period during and after their transition from pediatric to adult healthcare. This study aimed to systematically describe the compendium of transition interventions and synthesize the effects of such transition interventions on adherence to ART, retention in care and viral load suppression. Seven databases and Google Scholar were searched and the review findings were reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items Stipulated for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. The risk of bias and the strength of evidence were assessed using the National Institutes of Health quality assessment tool for observational cohort and cross-sectional studies. Seven studies (two cross-sectional, two retrospective cohort and three prospective cohort studies), with sample sizes ranging from 13 to 192, were included in the narrative synthesis. There was high-quality evidence that these interventions—Individualized care plans, communication, psychological support, and health and sexual education and mHealth—improved adherence, retention in care and viral load suppression at post-transition over the short and long term. In contrast, group transition intervention produced weak quality evidence. Hence, transition interventions including a combination of the high-quality evidenced interventions mentioned above can improve treatment outcomes for adolescents on ART.

“…3 South Africa has not achieved the above target due to people's reluctance to take ART as they are afraid of being stigmatized by health care workers. 5,6 The non-achievement of 90% of adherence in 2020, may still pose a challenge to the achievement of 95-95-95 targets. These revised targets aim at ensuring that at least 95% of all HIV-positive people know their status.…”

Background Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is one of the leading health challenges worldwide that influences the provision of quality patient care. Stigma and discrimination around this condition and the health care needs affect the health care provision. This study aimed to gain an in-depth understanding of theatre nurses’ experiences in providing perioperative care to patients living with HIV at a tertiary hospital in South Africa. Methods This study was conducted at a tertiary hospital in Tshwane district, South Africa. The study was underpinned by an interpretative phenomenological analysis design. Data were collected from 10 criterion purposively selected theatre nurses using in-depth individual interviews. Data were thematically analyzed and guided by an interpretive phenomenological analysis framework for data analysis. Results The study revealed that theatre nurses work in an under-resourced environment. The resources highlighted are human, materials, including personal protective equipment and life support. The situation negatively affects the perioperative care of HIV-positive patients, who are always prone to perioperative complications, such as profuse bleeding, and even death. The situation increases the occupational risk to the nurses. Conclusions The researchers proposed several recommendations targeted at improving the resources needed by theatre nurses when caring for people living with HIV perioperatively at South African tertiary hospitals. Findings will add to the body of knowledge of the Nursing profession about offering perioperative care to persons living with HIV.
