Preferences for ART adherence–focused service delivery among transfeminine individuals living with HIV in Mumbai and New Delhi, India
Background Transfeminine individuals in India face disproportionately high HIV prevalence and encounter multilevel barriers to sustained antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence. While India’s National AIDS Control Program (NACP) has expanded outreach to transfeminine individuals, few interventions address the intersectional challenges undermining long-term optimal adherence and viral suppression. Methods We conducted 30 in-depth interviews with tr…
Misinformation, Social Media, and Myths About Injectable ART
Effective health communication is vital for engagement in HIV care, especially for transgender women (TGW), who often encounter misinformation. This issue is worsened by lower literacy levels and stigma. Despite efforts like providing free antiretroviral therapy (ART), misinformation persists, and little is known about the specific rumors and misconceptions that influence TGW's engagement with HIV services. This study aims to fill these gaps and …
From policy to practice
Transgender women (TGW) in India face one of the highest HIV prevalence rates among key populations in India, yet data on their engagement in the HIV care cascade is limited. This study investigates barriers and supportive factors for adhering to antiretroviral therapy (ART), which is vital for achieving viral suppression, reducing transmission risk to nearly zero (i.e. undetectable = utransmittable; U = U), and enhancing the quality of life for …

Existing behavioral frameworks fail to address the compounded effects of systemic …

Assessing completeness of patient medical records of surgical and obstetric patients in Northern Tanzania
BACKGROUND: Strengthening surgical services in resource-constrained settings is contingent on using high-quality data to inform decision making at clinical, facility, and policy levels. However, the evidence is sparse on gaps in paper-based medical record quality for surgical and obstetric patients in low-resource settings. OBJECTIVE: We aim to examine surgical and obstetric patient medical record data quality in health facilities as part of a su…
