Preferences for and Experiences of Antenatal and Postpartum Male Partner Support Among Kenyan Women Living with HIV
Male partner involvement in prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) services is linked to improved outcomes for women living with HIV. Yet, rates of male partner support are low. Few studies have evaluated women's preferences for partner support throughout PMTCT. The purpose of this manuscript is to evaluate women's preferences and experiences with male partner support throughout the continuum of antenatal and postpartum care. P…
Development and evaluation of a Covid tracking system to support provision of social service in Wyandotte County, Kansas
Background: In addition to the state-mandated case investigation and contact tracing, the Unified Government Public Health Department of Wyandotte County, Kansas implemented social support services for COVID-19 cases and contacts; however, did not have the systems in place to document the provision of these services. Our team worked with the health department to develop and implement the COVID Tracking System (CTS), an eHealth system that linked …
A Pilot Study to Evaluate the Impact of the HIV Infant Tracking System (Hitsystem 2.0) on Priority Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) Outcomes
Women’s preferences, expectations, and experiences with male partner support throughout prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV services
Male involvement in prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) care improves maternal and child outcomes. We conducted a mixed-methods study at two Kenyan government hospitals. We quantitatively assessed women's expectations and preferences for male partner involvement in PMTCT and male partner attendance at PMTCT appointments. Qualitative interviews with women during the postpartum period assessed types of support women received f…

Using a Social Support Framework to Understand How HIV Positive Kenyan Men Engage in PMTCT/EID Care
EHealth Interventions for Early Infant Diagnosis
Progress Toward Eliminating Mother to Child Transmission of HIV in Kenya
Background Prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) services are critical to achieve national and global targets of 90% antiretroviral therapy (ART) coverage in PMTCT, and mother to child transmission rates less than 5%. In 2012, Kenya adopted WHO's recommended ART regimen for PMTCT "Option B+". Aims This study assesses progress made in adopting these new guidelines and associated outcomes. Methods We analysed programmatic data o…

Predictors of Infant Age at Enrollment in Early Infant Diagnosis Services in Kenya
Despite the importance of early detection to signal lifesaving treatment initiation for HIV+ infants, early infant diagnosis (EID) services have received considerably less attention than other aspects of prevention of mother to child transmission care. This study draws on baseline data from an on-going cluster randomized study of an intervention to improve EID services at six government hospitals across Kenya. Two logistic regressions examined po…
