Thirty years on with an HIV epidemic in Zimbabwe (1985-2015)Chingwaru, Walter ; Vidmar, Jerneja, nevrobiologija, 1971-Zimbabwe, like many of her neighbours, is going through an HIV epidemic since 1985. It is imperative to assess progress with epidemic over the past three decades. We conducted a systematic review of ... reports in Pubmed/ScienceDirect, and a number of sentinel surveillance reports published by local and international organisations that have dealt with HIV/AIDS in the country, including the National AIDS Council of Zimbabwe, Ministry of Health and Child Welfare of Zimbabwe, UNAIDS and World Health Organisation. Thirty-five original research articles and 16 review articles, 4 surveillance reports and 2 conference reports met our inclusion criteria. The first 5 years of the epidemic were characterised by an exponential increase in prevalence (65-fold) and incidence (up to 13-fold) which were fuelled by high risk sexual behaviour. Comprehensive AIDS programmes that were launched between mid-1990s and 2015 and high mortality over the same period are thought to have played a role in slowing down the epidemic since the mid-2000s. Increased uptake of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and prevention-of-mother-to-child-transmission (PMTCT) (95%) prophylaxis accounted for a 70% drop in HIV-related mortality between 2003 and 2013. However, the epidemic has been characterised by a low paediatric ART coverage (35% in 2011 to 46.12% in 2013) and a recent increase in adolescent HIV prevalence. The epidemic has been driven by a number of social factors that include the local traditional beliefs and customs. A more holistic approach which deals with the epidemic in its socio-political context is required to effectively lower the country's HIV burden.Source: HIV & AIDS Review. - ISSN 1730-1270 (Vol. 15, Iss. 1, 2016, str. 26-32)Type of material - article, component partPublish date - 2016Language - englishCOBISS.SI-ID - 4104236
