Understanding the Influence of PrEP Motivations and Concerns on PrEP Use Among Pregnant Women in Lilongwe, Malawi
Association of Postpartum Cardiovascular Biomarkers with HIV Among Women with Recent Preeclampsia in Zambia
Routine Electronic Mother-Infant Data (ReminD)
Data to Care (D2C) strategies- using routine data to identify and re-engage people living with HIV who are not in care- have shown promise in high-income settings but remain underexplored in lower-resource and vertical HIV transmission prevention (VTP) contexts. In this prospective, single-arm, proof-of-concept study, we used facility-linked public sector electronic medical records (Provincial Health Data Centre [PHDC] data) to identify, validate…

Engaging Family Members to Support Exclusive Breastfeeding, Responsive care, and Antiretroviral Therapy Adherence Among Families with Children who are HIV-Exposed and Uninfected
Children who are HIV-exposed and uninfected (CHEU) are at increased risk for poor growth, health, and development compared to children who are HIV-unexposed and uninfected. To support families with CHEU, we assessed the acceptability of engaging family members to support women living with HIV (WLWH) with exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) and antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence and to engage in responsive infant caregiving. We conducted trials of i…
Money, chores and emotional support
In sub-Saharan Africa, involving male partners in the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV improves maternal and infant outcomes. Male involvement is typically conceptualised as male partners attending antenatal care, which is difficult for many men. Little is known about how men view their involvement in family health within the context of HIV, particularly outside of clinic attendance. Through interviews with 35 male partners of pr…
Salient beliefs and intention to use pre-exposure prophylaxis among pregnant and breastfeeding women in Zambia
Primary HIV prevention is a priority for pregnant and breastfeeding women in sub-Saharan Africa; however, such services should be designed to optimise uptake and continuation. Between September and December 2021, we enrolled 389 women who were not living with HIV into a cross-sectional study from antenatal/postnatal settings at Chipata Level 1 Hospital. We used the Theory of Planned Behaviour to study the relationship between salient beliefs and …
Perspectives and experiences of Zambian pregnant and postpartum women receiving two intervention models to increase uptake of male partner HIV testing
This study explored the experiences of pregnant women who received two intervention models for increasing uptake of male partner HIV testing in antenatal settings. As part of a randomised trial, we interviewed twenty participants who received partner notification services only while 22 received the partner notification plus HIV self-testing. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Partner notification services helped to initiate discussio…
Acceptability of a Combination Adherence Strategy to Support HIV Antiretroviral Therapy and Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Adherence During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding in Malawi
Contextualising men’s role and participation in PMTCT programmes in Malawi and Zambia
This study sought to explore and contextualise the man's role in antenatal services, and the barriers and strategies for engaging men in prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission (PMTCT). We conducted 143 interviews with pregnant and breastfeeding women, male partners, health workers and policy makers in Malawi and Zambia. We employed thematic and critical discourse analysis using the hegemonic masculinity perspective. We found that men's ro…

Effect of Enhanced Adherence Package on Early ART Uptake Among HIV-Positive Pregnant Women in Zambia
Fertility Intentions and Clinical Care Attendance Among Women Living with HIV in South Africa

Maternal Decision-Making and Uptake of Health Services for the Prevention of Mother-to-Child HIV Transmission
Contraceptive use among HIV-infected women and men receiving antiretroviral therapy in Lusaka, Zambia
While FP-ART integration may be a promising strategy for increasing FP service uptake, such services must focus on assessing sexual activity and advocating for dual method use to increase effective contraceptive use and prevent unintended pregnancies
Prevalence of hypertension and its treatment among adults presenting to primary health clinics in rural Zambia
Age standardized prevalence of hypertension in rural primary health clinics in Zambia was high compared to other studies in rural Africa; however, we diagnosed hypertension with only one measurement and this may have biased our findings. Future efforts to improve hypertension control should focus on population preventive care and primary healthcare provider education on individual management
Community-based follow-up for late patients enrolled in a district-wide programme for antiretroviral therapy in Lusaka, Zambia
Timely adherence to clinical and pharmacy appointments is well correlated with favourable patient outcomes among HIV-infected individuals on antiretroviral therapy. To date, however, there is little work exploring reasons behind missed visits or evaluating programmatic strategies to recall patients. For this study we implemented community-based follow-up of late patients as part of a large-scale programme for HIV care and treatment in Lusaka, Zam…
