<p><em>H</em><em>I</em><em>V/AIDS disease is a health problem in indonesia. The problem cause of</em><em> </em><em>the number of morbility and mortality that still hight. It is cause of long term</em><em> </em><em>infection, adherance consuming the drungs and opportunistic that can deastroy the</em><em> </em><em>imun system </em><em>of People Living With HIV/AIDS (PLHIV)</em><em>.  The purpose of this research is to identify the factors</em><em> </em><em>related to the people living with </em><em>PLHIV</em><em> </em><em>in Achmad Muchtar Hospital Bukittinggi</em></p><p><em>2016.</em><em></em></p><p><em>This research was conducted by a retrospective cohort design approach, doing  research  of the death of people who living with HIV by observing the patient’s  medical  record  from  2014-2015.  The  research  of  study  were  215 patient’s  who  is  criteria  inclusion.  Analysis  data  using  test  chi-square.  who became the independent  variable is  long  infection,  adherance  comsuming the </em><em>Anti Retroviral (ARV)</em><em> </em><em>, and opportunistic infection and dependent variable that survive the HIV people life.</em><em></em></p><p><em>The research showed that among  215 patients with the number of deaths 39 people ( 18,% ), stages 3 and 4 (&gt;5 th) is 89 people ( 41.4% ), not adherence is  77 people ( 35.8% ), and who suffered an opportunistic infection were 61 people (28.4% ).

Despite the dramatic reversal in prognosis for people living long-term with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), the literature indicates, counter-intuitively, that PLWHA often do not have much hope for the future. The authors undertook a grounded theory study (Cutcliff & Zinck, 2011) that resulted in a four-stage theory of hope inspiration for PLWHA. Both the core variable, "Turning from death to life, " and the four stages of the theory have significant practice, education, and policy implications for counselors working with PLWHA, which this article explores in detail. It draws attention to specific counselor qualities (i.e., awareness, possessing a working knowledge of HIV/AIDS) and a sense of hope that the authors argue is needed to underpin effective work with PLWHA. It describes hope-inspiring interventions—witnessing hopelessness, punctuating resources, networking, and re-storying—that counselors might consider, linking each to the theory and stages of hope inspiration

Abstract To help address the impending HIV physician shortage, we launched an HIV Medicine Pathway within our Internal Medicine Residency in 2008. Between 2015 and 2017, surveys showed a decrease in the number of graduates providing primary care for people living with HIV. We suggest evaluation of long-term outcomes from similar training programs and stronger support for HIV primary care career development.

This study describes long-term viral load (VL) trajectories and their predictors among women living with HIV (WLWH), using data from Sexual Health and HIV/AIDS: Women’s Longitudinal Needs Assessment (SHAWNA), an open prospective cohort study with linkages to the HIV/AIDS Drug Treatment Program. Using Latent Class Growth Analysis (LCGA) on a sample of 153 WLWH (1088 observations), three distinct trajectories of detectable VL (≥50 copies/ml) were identified: ‘sustained low probability of detectable VL’, characterized by high probability of long-term VL undetectability (51% of participants); ‘ high probability of delayed viral undetectability’, characterized by a high probability VL detectability at baseline that decreases over time (43% of participants); and ‘ high probability of detectable VL’, characterized by a high probability of long-term VL detectability (7% of participants). In multivariable analysis, incarceration (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 3.24; 95%CI:1.34–7.82), younger age (AOR = 0.96; 95%CI:0.92–1.00), and lower CD4 count (AOR = 0.82; 95%CI:0.72–0.93) were associated with ‘ high probability of delayed viral undetectability’ compared to ‘sustained low probability of detectable VL.’ This study reveals the dynamic and heterogeneous nature of WLWH’s long-term VL patterns, and highlights the need for early engagement in HIV care among young WLWH and programs to mitigate the destabilizing impact of incarceration on WLWH’s HIV treatment outcomes.
