Oral health status of children and adolescents living with HIV undergoing antiretroviral therapy: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) increases the survival of HIV-infected children, but might also bring in oral health-related side effects and increase their risks of oral diseases. The review compared the oral...
Impact of antiretroviral therapy on oral health among children living with HIV: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Oral health is an integral component of general health and well-being but might be undermined among children living with HIV (CLWH) due to the condition itself or the antiretroviral therapy...
Epstein-Barr virus detection in the central nervous system of HIV-infected patients

The effect of protease inhibitors-based antiretroviral therapy on serum/plasma interleukin-6 levels among PLHIV: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Men who have sex with men (MSM) often change sexual behaviors following HIV diagnosis. This systematic review examined such changes, including sero-adaptive behaviors (i.e., deliberate safer-sex practices to reduce transmission...
Comparison of the efficacy and safety of a doravirine-based, three-drug regimen in treatment-naive HIV-1 positive adults: A bayesian network meta-analysis

HPV self-sampling for cervical cancer screening among women living with HIV in low- and middle-income countries: What do we know and what can be done?
INTRODUCTION: Self-sampling has the potential to increase cervical cancer (CC) screening among women with HIV in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, our understanding of how HPV self-collection studies have...
