The Best Abstract from the 7th SAHCS Conference is now published in the Southern African Journal of HIV Medicine.

Dr Roland van Rensburg shared preliminary results from the AVALON study, the largest South African cohort of people with HIV presenting with stroke.

Among 605 participants, strokes occurred at a median age nearly a decade younger than HIV-negative comparators, with a distinct phenotype - multi-territory ischaemic strokes, basal ganglia involvement, and high rates of co-infections such as TB. Notably, one in four strokes occurred within six months of ART initiation or re-initiation, raising concern about an IRIS-like phenomenon.

These findings underscore the need for improved cardiovascular risk stratification and stroke prevention tailored to HIV populations.

Exciting news! Our latest edition of the HIV Nursing Matters publication is available. (View here: https://www.sahivsoc.org/Files/HIV%20Nursing%20Matters%20Vol%2021.pdf) This issue, themed “Towards Inclusive HIV Care”, captures the stories of inclusion in its broadest sense, thus the inclusion of young women, key populations, returning clients, data-driven decision-makers, and the caregivers themselves. It embodies a vision of HIV care that saves lives and views people in their own diversity, vulnerability, and resilience.
