The physical sequelae of perinatally acquired HIV in adolescents: a research proposal.
Nicolette Comley-WhiteJoanne PottertonVeronica NtsieaPublished in: BMC research notes (2019)
Through interviews with PHIVA, the perceived physical challenges will be established. Thereafter a cohort study with age-matched participants will determine if PHIVA have any limitations in fatigue, endurance, motor function and muscle strength, body mass index, peripheral neuropathy, level of disability and quality of life. Using these results, a model of care will be proposed through the nominal group technique with both PHIVA and clinicians working in HIV and adolescence.
