Our study aimed to describe the HIV care continuum and explore factors related to viral suppression among people on methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) who use methamphetamine (meth) in Vietnam. We used baseline data of participants living with HIV (PLWH) from a clinical trial in Vietnam. Among 132 PLWH, 95.5% knew their HIV status, 91.7% were on antiretroviral therapy (ART), and 79.5% achieved viral suppression (< 20 copies/mL). Being currently on ART and not early meth use were associated with viral suppression. The findings highlight the importance of enhancing ART engagement among meth-using PLWH on MMT, especially those who began meth use early in life.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis V
Latent tuberculosis infection occurs when TB bacteria are present in a person's body, but are not causing illness or symptoms. It is not contagious, and preventive treatment is crucial to avoid the progression...
Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.

Phase II Reactions: Methylation Reactions
The mechanism of methylation unfolds in two stages. The first stage sees a methyltransferase enzyme facilitating the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to the substrate, forming S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH). The second stage involves further metabolism of SAH into homocysteine, which can be recycled...
