| Popis: | Background: AIDS is an endemic disease that causes death among young adults worldwide especially in Nigeria. Aims and Objectives: This study investigated the serum reproductive hormone levels in symptomatic HIV/AIDS male subjects on ART who are negative to malaria parasite in Nnewi, Anambra State, Nigeria. Materials and Methods: A total of 274 adult male participants aged between 18 and 60 years were randomly recruited, and grouped into: symptomatic HIV (stage 11) infected male participants on ART (A: n=69), Symptomatic HIV subjects not on ART (B: n= 69), Asymptomatic HIV positive subjects (C: n= 68) and HIV seronegative subjects (D: n= 68). Serum was used to assay for PSA, LH, FSH, Estrogen, Testosterone, Progesterone and Prolactin levels. Analysis of variance and student t-test were used for data analyses. Results: The serum levels of PSA, FSH, Estrogen, Testosterone, Progesterone and Prolactin were significantly different amongst the groups at p |
