Unawareness of HIV-Positive Status among Men in Seven Sub-Saharan African Countries
Behavioral and Structural Interventions for PrEP Adherence Among Young Female Sex Workers from Western Kenya
HIV incidence is high among young female sex workers (YFSW) in Kenya. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention is recommended for at-risk populations, but its effectiveness requires consistent access and adherence. The IPrEP study compared the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of two adherence support interventions on PrEP adherence among YFSW in Kisumu, Kenya. Study follow-up coincided with national restrictions on travel a…
Infectious disease forecasting to support public health
Background: Mozambique faces a high burden of infectious diseases but currently has limited capacity for forecasting disease incidence. Recent improvements in disease surveillance through the National Monitoring and Evaluation System now provide weekly reports of disease incidence across the country's districts. This study focuses on using these records, specifically for malaria and diarrhoeal diseases, which together account for approximately 40…

Contact Tracing
Contact tracing—the process of identifying, isolating, and managing infected persons and their contacts—is a recognized public health measure for controlling the transmission of infectious diseases. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, contact tracing has received intense attention. We provide a brief overview of the history of contact tracing during several major disease outbreaks in the past century: syphilis and other sexually transmitted …

Exploring individual-level barriers to HIV medication adherence among men who have sex with men in the HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN 065) study
African-American men who have sex with men (MSM) with HIV are more likely to have unsuppressed viral load than other racial/ethnic groups. HPTN 065 Study, completed in 2015, consisted of five interconnected study components conducted at clinics in Bronx, New York and Washington, D.C. Participants completed surveys with questions related to socio-demographic factors and individual-level HIV medication adherence barriers, such as forgetting doses o…
Beyond the Magic Bullet
China’s health assistance to Africa
China has made substantial health commitments to Africa in the past several decades. However, while much has been written regarding China-Africa aid overall, relatively little attention has been given to China's health aid. To better understand these investments, we provide an overview of the current framework and characteristics of China's health aid to Africa. China's health assistance has been perceived by some as opportunistic, largely as a d…
Men usually say that HIV testing is for women’
In Lesotho, men have lower HIV testing rates, less contact with HIV clinical settings and less knowledge of HIV prevention than women. However, women's HIV prevalence has consistently remained higher than men's. This paper explores gender norms, sexual decision-making and perceptions of HIV among a sample of Basotho men and women in order to understand how these factors influence HIV testing and prevention. A total of 200 women and 30 men were in…
Focus on Women
Despite important advances in expanding access to antiretroviral therapy in the countries most heavily affected by HIV/AIDS, there has been little consideration of the connections between HIV prevention, care and treatment programmes and reproductive health services. In this paper, we explore the integration of reproductive health services into HIV care and treatment programmes. We review the design and progress of the MTCT-Plus Initiative, which…
