Abstrakt: Introduction: PLHA who smoke have twice the never-smoker mortality rate and have an increased risk of developing non-AIDS diseases. The prevalence of tobacco smoking is higher among PLHA than in the general population. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of smoking among PLHA, to describe the clinical and spirometric features of smokers and ex-smokers and to assess their knowledge and attitudes toward smoking.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study among PLHA followed up in the Outpatient Department of the National University Hospital Center of Fann from 15 July to 15 December 2015.
Results: Three hundred (300) PLHA were included in the study. Sex ratio was 0.8. Out of the study population, 15% were smokers and 23.7% were ex-smokers. The average age of patients was 44.38±9.55 years. The quasi-totality of the smokers (91.1%) had already started smoking before the detection of the serological status and 35.6% of them had increased tobacco use after. Respiratory symptoms among smokers were dominated by respiratory distress (64.4%). Smokers who underwent spirometry had obstructive ventilatory impairment not improved by beta-2-mimetic agents (67%) and restrictive disease (28.1%). Out of ex-smokers, 40.8% reported that their serological status was the reason for smoking cessation.
Conclusion: P eople may begin or increase smoking after knowledge of serological status. In PLHA, smoking causes cardiovascular and respiratory diseases as well as complications.
