Item Food and nutrition assistance to HIV-infected and affected populations in Ghana: A situational analysis and stakeholder views(African Geographical Review, 2014-10) Laar, A.; El-Adas, A.; Amenyah, R.N.; Atuahene, K.; Asare, E.; Tenkorang, E.Y.; Laar, M.; Adjei, A.A.; Quakyi, I.Poor nutrition is a determinant of death particularly among persons living with HIV (PLHIV). This paper discusses the state of food and nutrition assistance to PLHIV in Ghana. A review of published articles and program reports was done and supported by in-depth interviews with key stakeholders. Data were qualitatively analyzed. A matrix highlighting problems that need to be addressed, possible attributable factors, strengths, and opportunities of existing actions metamorphosed from the analysis. Although stakeholders agree that adequate nutrition is critically important for PLHIV, food and nutrition interventions to PLHIV are inadequate. © 2014 The African Specialty Group of the Association of American Geographers.Item High prevalence of unique recombinant forms of HIV-1 in Ghana: molecular epidemiology from an antiretroviral resistance study(Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome 48(5): 599-606, 2008) Delgado, E.; Ampofo, W.K.; Sierra, M.; Torpey, K.; Pérez-Alvarez, L.; Bonney, E.Y.; Mukadi, Y.D.; Lartey, M.; Nyarko, C.; Amenyah, R.N.; Thomson, M.; Nájera, R.In Ghana, programs to expand antiretroviral access are being implemented. In this context, the dynamic genetic evolution of HIV-1 requires continuous surveillance, particularly when diverse genetic forms co-circulate. Methods: Phylogenetic and antiretroviral resistance analyses of HIV-1 partial pol sequences from plasma RNA samples from 207 Ghanaian individuals were performed.
