This book first discusses how depression and anxiety occur more
frequently in people living with HIV/AIDS than in the general
population. Anxiety and depression increase the morbidity of HIV by
causing poor adherence to treatment, increased risk for suicide,
greater chance for recurrence and various other significant
mechanisms. The authors present an analysis of sociological
research showing the prevalence of stigma and discrimination
against patients with HIV infection at the dental office. Fear of
stigma is a key factor in reducing the willingness to disclose HIV
status. The recommended treatment for chronic hepatitis C virus
infection with HIV coinfection is reviewed, focusing on the
pharmacokinetics and pharmacology of drug-drug interactions between
antiretroviral therapy and direct-acting antivirals. Insight on the
long road towards the eradication of HIV/AIDS is discussed in an
effort to achieve sustainable development goals and targets by
2030. Studies conducted in relation to biomedical, structural,
behavioural and technological interventions are cited to
substantiate this discussions. The closing chapter outlines updated
recommendations guiding healthcare professionals to employ
treatment as prevention. A discussion of the public health measures
necessary to promote the success of treatment as prevention is also
included.
