| Summary, etc. | Abstract: <br/><br/>Background: HIV/AIDS is a devastating global epidemic and major cause of morbidity and mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa. Of the 40% of people living with HIV it is only half of them who know their status. Prevalence of HIV positive discordant partners in Tanzania is 6% and 80% of all new infections are due to sexual transmissions making it mandatory to get tested, disclose their status to their partners as well as protect them. <br/><br/>Objectives: To determine the clinical-demographic characteristics of HIV positive partners within discordant relationship in relation to the transmission of HIV receiving care and treatment at BMC, May 2010 – May 2012. <br/><br/>Methods: A retrospective study consisting of all HIV positive partners within discordant relationships. A checklist was used to get the needed data, data was input and analysed. <br/><br/>Results: Amongst 90 study participants, ages ranged from 21-80 years, with the majority being 21-40 years. Most of them were women 58 (64.4%), majority being married 74 (82.2%). Only 2 (2.7%) were positive for VDRL though 16 (17.8%) were unknown due to reagents being out of stock. Those with clinical stage 3 and 4 were 50 (55.5%), 15 (16.7%) were not initiated on ART. 18 of the study participants had no current CD4 count records and this brought the total of those tested to be 70 and out of these the prevalence of those with CD4 count below 200 were 5 (7.1%), below 350 were 18 (25.7%) and those below 500 were 38 (54.3%). <br/><br/>Conclusion: Proper screening of patients is needed with increased care in the initiation of ART and PrEP, routine investigations and preventive methods in further transmission to those already affected as well as those who are not.<br/> |
