  • Trajectories and predictors of HIV care retention among individuals receiving ART in rural South Africa

    Open AccessAimée Julien, Jean Juste Harrisson Bashingwa et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2025

    Background: Successful retention in care of people living with HIV remains a challenge and a cornerstone of ending the epidemic. A better understanding of retention predictors could guide an evidence-based approach to target interventions. We sought to characterise HIV care retention trajectories among individuals receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) in a rural South Africa setting, and to determine factors associated with those trajectories. M…

  • Estimating the effect of a rifampicin resistant tuberculosis diagnosis by the Xpert MTB/RIF assay on two-year mortality

    Open AccessElise De Vos, Daniel Westreich et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Studies assessing patient-centred outcomes of novel rifampicin resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) diagnostics are rare and mostly apply conventional methods which may not adequately address biases. Even though the Xpert MTB/RIF molecular assay was endorsed a decade ago for simultaneous diagnosis of tuberculosis and RR-TB, the impact of the assay on mortality among people with RR-TB has not yet been assessed. We analysed data of an observational prosp…

  • Home-based delivery of HIV self-tests by adolescent girls and young women to male sexual partners in Johannesburg, South Africa

    Angela Tembo, Lillian Mutunga et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2021

    There is limited information about the best strategy for adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) to negotiate HIV testing with their male partners. HIV self-testing as a strategy has the potential to overcome barriers to traditional HIV testing among men. We conducted formative feasibility research on secondary distribution of HIV self-tests by HIV negative AGYW to their male partners in northern Johannesburg, South Africa. A total of 8 focus gro…

  • Health Care Providers' Challenges to High-Quality HIV Care and Antiretroviral Treatment Retention in Rural South Africa

    Open AccessAimée Julien, Sibyl Anthieren et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2021Cited by: 2References: 48

    Provision of high-quality HIV care is challenging, especially in rural primary care clinics in high HIV burden settings. We aimed to better understand the main challenges to quality HIV care provision and retention in antiretroviral treatment (ART) programs in rural South Africa from the health care providers' perspective. We conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews with 23 providers from nine rural clinics. Using thematic and framework a…

  • Mental health in South African adolescents living with HIV

    Nora S West, Sheree Schwartz et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2019

    We examined the prevalence of mental health conditions, social support, and associated factors among adolescents living with HIV. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis with adolescents (ages 9-19) attending a primary care clinic in Johannesburg, South Africa. We analyzed the results of four self-report tools: Children's Depression Inventory-Short, Revised Manifest Anxiety Scale, Child Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Checklist, and a modif…

  • Integrating safer conception services into primary care

    Open AccessMariya C Patwa, Jean Bassett et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    A safer conception counseling guide would facilitate consultations. While many providers felt that the services belonged in family planning, lack of HIV management skills, men and women trying to conceive within family planning may pose barriers

  • Incidence rate of sexually transmitted infections among HIV infected patients on long-term ART in an urban and a rural clinic in Uganda

    Open AccessStephen Okoboi, Barbara Castelnuovo et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    We found STIs incidence rate of approximately 3 per 1000 person-years among patients on long-term (≥ 4 years) ART followed up-to 3.5 years. Rural and younger persons on ART should be routinely screened for STIs because high incidence of STIs may undo the preventative effects of ART for all

  • Perceptions of Community and Clinic-Based Adherence Clubs for Patients Stable on Antiretroviral Treatment

    Open AccessMutsa Mudavanhu, Nora S West et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2019

  • “I don't know if this is right … but this is what I'm offering”

    Nora S West, Nora West et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2016

    The 2011 guidelines for safer conception for HIV-affected individuals and couples were adopted by the South African Department of Health in December 2012. We assessed implementation gaps and facilitators and barriers to delivering safer conception services through examining patient and healthcare provider (HCP) experiences. At Witkoppen Health and Welfare Centre, a primary care clinic in Johannesburg, we conducted in-depth interviews (IDIs) with …

  • Timing of HIV Seroreversion Among HIV-Exposed, Breastfed Infants in Malawi

    Open AccessEmily R Smith, Michael Hudgens et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Health Journal2016

    Introduction Rapid HIV serological tests are a cost-effective, point-of-care test among HIV exposed infants but cannot distinguish between maternal and infant antibodies. The lack of data on the timing of decay of maternal antibodies in young infants hinders the potential use of rapid tests in exposed infants. We aimed to determine the time to seroreversion for two commonly used rapid tests in a prospective cohort of HIV-exposed breastfeeding inf…

  • Acceptability and Feasibility of a Mobile Phone-Based Case Management Intervention to Retain Mothers and Infants from an Option B+ Program in Postpartum HIV Care

    Open AccessSheree R Schwartz, Sheree Schwartz et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Health Journal2015

  • Cigarette smoking and pulmonary tuberculosis in northern California

    Geneé S Smith, Stephen K Van Den Eeden et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2015References: 14

    BACKGROUND: A positive association between smoking and increased risk of tuberculosis disease is well documented for populations outside the USA. However, it is unclear whether smoking increases risk of tuberculosis in the USA, where both smoking prevalence and disease rates are much lower than in the countries where previous studies have been conducted. METHODS: To explore the tuberculosis-smoking association in a more generalisable US populatio…

  • Comparison of Pharmacy-Based Measures of Adherence to Antiretroviral Therapy as Predictors of Virological Failure

    Open AccessCassidy Henegar, Cassidy E Henegar et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2014

  • “They Have Already Thrown Away Their Chicken”

    Marie Collins Donahue, Queen Dube et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2012

    HIV-infected infants and young children are at high risk of serious illness and death. Morbidity and mortality can be greatly reduced through early infant diagnosis (EID) of HIV and timely initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Despite global efforts to scale-up of EID and infant ART, uptake of these services in resource poor, high HIV burden countries remain low. We conducted a qualitative study of 59 HIV-infected women to identify and expl…

  • Socio-demographic and Aids-related factors associated with tuberculosis stigma in southern Thailand

    Open AccessAaron M Kipp, Petchawan Pungrassami et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    These results suggest that approaches addressing the dual TB/HIV epidemic may be needed to combat TB stigma and that simply correcting misconceptions about TB may have limited effects

  • Extrapulmonary tuberculosis, human immunodeficiency virus, and foreign birth in North Carolina, 1993 – 2006

    Open AccessAaron M Kipp, Jason E Stout et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2008

    Foreign born tuberculosis cases were more likely to have EPTB than US born tuberculosis cases, even in the absence of HIV infection. Increasing proportions of foreign born and HIV-attributable tuberculosis cases in the United States will likely result in a sustained burden of EPTB. Further research is needed to explore why the occurrence and type of EPTB differs by region of birth and whether host genetic and/or bacterial variation can explain th…
