  • Changes in caregiver psychosocial factors known to affect pediatric HIV disclosure

    Adwoa K A Afrane, Arthi Bobbala et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2026

    This comparative study analyzed changes in caregiver-related factors known to influence pediatric HIV disclosure using baseline data from two clinical trials in Ghana – Sankofa 1 (recruitment 2013–2016) and Sankofa 2 (recruitment 2021-2023). Changes in caregiver characteristics and psychosocial domains were measured using validated instruments: social support (Social Provisions Scale), HIV knowledge (Brief HIV Knowledge Questionnaire), illness pe…

  • Barriers and Opportunities for HPV Self-Sampling in Underserved Rural Communities

    Open AccessJoyline Chepkorir, Novella Perrin et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2025

    Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women in sub-Saharan Africa, especially in rural areas with limited access to screening. This study explored factors influencing rural Kenyan women's willingness to self-collect samples for HPV-DNA testing. Data were drawn from a mixed methods study in two Kenyan rural counties, including surveys with 174 women and interviews with 21 participants. The mean age of the survey sampl…

  • Understanding human papillomavirus vaccine response and efficacy in people living with HIV

    Open AccessAlvine Akumbom, Amanda J Bergman et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Coinfection with human papillomavirus (HPV) and HIV compounds the risks of developing cervical, anal, and HPV-associated oral neoplasia. Safe prophylactic vaccines are available to prevent HPV infections in people with HIV(PWH). Yet, vaccine efficacy and duration of protection remain questionable. Historically, the efficacy of vaccines has been suboptimal in PWH compared to people without HIV (PWoH).A systematic review of HPV vaccine trials in PW…

  • A global matchmaking web platform facilitating equitable institutional partnerships and mentorship to strengthen health workforce training capacity

    Open AccessJ A Dykens, Keith Martins et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2023

    The critical human resources deficit in the healthcare sector in low-resource settings (LRS) has an overwhelming impact on health outcomes and disparities in growth and development of the global healthcare workforce. There is a lack of qualified trainers and mentors and this makes it challenging to connect existing capacity gaps with existing expertise and established programs. Through global health partnerships, training programs, and mentorship…

  • Predictors of nursing leadership in Uganda

    Open AccessRose Clarke Nanyonga, Edna N Bosire et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2020References: 56

    Evidence regarding the role of nurses-in-leadership and how to engage nurses in policy decisions is minimal in sub-Saharan Africa. The purpose of this study was: (1) to assess the leadership practices of nurses-in-leadership in Uganda (by self-report) and from the perspective of ‘followers’ (direct-report, peers, co-workers, other); and (2) to determine factors (positively) associated with leadership practices. We surveyed 480 nurses, 120 in lead…

  • High prevalence of non-adherence to antiretroviral therapy among undisclosed HIV-infected children in Ghana

    Justin S Nichols, Tassos C Kyriakides et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2019

    Adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) remains one of the greatest obstacles in pediatric HIV care. We sought to determine the prevalence of adherence to ART among undisclosed HIV-infected children and adolescents in Ghana. We analyzed baseline data from HIV-infected children and adolescents aged 7-18 years old enrolled in the SANKOFA Pediatric HIV disclosure intervention study in Ghana. Antiretroviral medication adherence was measured using c…

  • Prevalence and correlates of depression among caregivers of children living with HIV in Ghana

    Angela Ofori-Atta, Nancy R Reynolds et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2019

    Prior studies show an association between caregiver depression and child health outcomes. There has been little examination of depression among caregivers of HIV-infected children in sub-Saharan countries where pediatric HIV is concentrated. Using baseline data collected in the pediatric HIV disclosure intervention trial, Sankofa, we examined the prevalence and factors associated with depression among caregivers (N = 446) of children infected wit…

  • Preferences for an HIV prevention mobile phone app

    Open AccessAidi Zhang, Nancy R Reynolds et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    Findings suggest that the design of an app targeting MSM in China should use an integrated framework addressing behavioral and psychological aspects, satisfy common needs of potential users, avoid perpetuating negative stereotypes and stigma, and avoid possible increase of risk behavior due to using the app

  • Quality of life in HIV-infected Chinese women and their family caregivers

    Wei-Ti Chen, Cheng‐Shi Shiu et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2018

    China is experiencing a rapid increase in the number of HIV-infected women. In this study, we describe the development and preliminary evaluation of an intervention tailored for Chinese HIV-infected women and caregivers to improve their self- and family management, with goals of enhancing their physical quality of life (QOL) and decreasing their depressive symptomatology. Forty-one HIV-infected women and their caregivers were recruited from two p…

  • HIV knowledge, stigma, and illness beliefs among pediatric caregivers in Ghana who have not disclosed their child's HIV status

    Open AccessElijah Paintsil, Lorna Renner et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2015

    The majority of HIV-infected children in sub-Saharan Africa have not been informed of their HIV status. Caregivers are reluctant to disclose HIV status to their children because of concern about the child's ability to understand, parental sense of guilt, and fear of social rejection and isolation. We hypothesized that the low prevalence of pediatric HIV disclosure in Ghana is due to lack of accurate HIV information and high HIV stigma among careg…

  • Sankofa pediatric HIV disclosure intervention cyber data management

    Open AccessAnn Christine Catlin, Sumudinie Fernando et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2015

    Prevalence of pediatric HIV disclosure is low in resource-limited settings. Innovative, culturally sensitive, and patient-centered disclosure approaches are needed. Conducting such studies in resource-limited settings is not trivial considering the challenges of capturing, cleaning, and storing clinical research data. To overcome some of these challenges, the Sankofa pediatric disclosure intervention adopted an interactive cyber infrastructure fo…

  • A City Consumed

    Open AccessNancy Y Reynolds, Nancy ReynoldsBOOKA city consumed2012

    Though now remembered as an act of anti-colonial protest leading to the Egyptian military coup of 1952, the Cairo Fire that burned through downtown stores and businesses appeared to many at the time as an act of urban self-destruction and national suicide. The logic behind this latter view has now been largely lost. Offering a revised history, this book looks to the decades leading up to the fire to show that the lines between foreign and native …

  • Prevalence, correlates, and self-management of HIV-related depressive symptoms

    Lucille Sanzero Eller, Eli Haugen Bunch et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2010

    Depressive symptoms are highly prevalent yet undertreated in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHAs). As part of a larger study of symptom self-management (N=1217), this study examined the prevalence, correlates, and characteristics (intensity, distress, and impact) of depressive symptoms, and the self-care strategies used to manage those symptoms in PLHAs in five countries. The proportion of respondents from each country in the total sample reportin…

  • Does “asymptomatic” mean without symptoms for those living with HIV infection

    Suzanne Willard, William L Holzemer et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2009

    Throughout the history of the HIV epidemic, HIV-positive patients with relatively high CD4 counts and no clinical features of opportunistic infections have been classified as "asymptomatic" by definition and treatment guidelines. This classification, however, does not take into consideration the array of symptoms that an HIV-positive person can experience long before progressing to AIDS. This short report describes two international multi-site st…

  • Symptom management and self-care for peripheral neuropathy in HIV/Aids

    Patrice K Nicholas, Jeanne Kemppainen et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2007
