Junk food use and neurodevelopmental and growth outcomes in infants in low-resource settings
Introduction: Feeding infants a sub-optimal diet deprives them of critical nutrients for their physical and cognitive development. The objective of this study is to describe the intake of foods of low nutritional value (junk foods) and identify the association with growth and developmental outcomes in infants up to 18 months in low-resource settings. Methods: This is a secondary analysis of data from an iron-rich complementary foods (meat versus …
Risky Sex and HIV Acquisition Among HIV Serodiscordant Couples in Zambia, 2002–2012
In this paper we evaluate the effects of heavy alcohol consumption on sexual behavior, HIV acquisition, and antiretroviral treatment (ART) initiation in a longitudinal open cohort of 1929 serodiscordant couples in Lusaka, Zambia from 2002 to 2012. We evaluated factors associated with baseline heavy alcohol consumption and its association with condomless sex with the study partner, sex outside of the partnership, and ART initiation using multivari…

Developing standards of care for HIV prevention research in developing countries – a case study of 10 research centers in Eastern and Southern Africa
Standards of care provided to volunteers in HIV prevention research in developing countries are evolving. Inconsistency in standards, particularly within a research network highlights the need to balance volunteers' health and wellness with the efficient conduct of research. Ten research centers (RC's) in East and Southern Africa affiliated with the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI) were studied using a mixed methods approach to unders…
The Influence of Informed Consent Content on Study Participants' Contraceptive Knowledge and Concerns
Little is known about how the information presented in the informed consent process influences study outcomes among participants. This study examines the influence of informed consent content on reported baseline contraceptive knowledge and concerns among two groups of HIV‐serodiscordant and seroconcordant HIV‐positive couples enrolled in research projects at an HIV research center in Lusaka, Zambia. We found significant differences in the report…

The Relationship Between Alcohol Consumption and Unprotected Sex Among Known HIV-discordant Couples in Rwanda and Zambia
Promotion of couples' voluntary counselling and testing for HIV through influential networks in two African capital cities
Predictors of successful CVCT promotion included strategies that can be easily implemented in Africa. As new resources become available for Africans with HIV, CVCT should be broadly implemented as a point of entry for prevention, care and support
