    There has been limited research reporting approaches used in the adaptation of implementation strategies for integrating HIV and NCD services that involve healthcare providers in low- and middle-income country (LMIC) settings. This paper describes how human-centered design (HCD) was used to 1) adapt a multifaceted implementation strategy for integrating HIV and NCD services through end-user engagement and 2) share insights from the specific sugge…

  • “I can’t fail. And my son can’t fail.”

    Open AccessKirsty Sievwright, Haneefa T Saleem et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Adolescents and young adults (AYA, aged 15–24) living with HIV have suboptimal antiretroviral treatment adherence compared to their adult counterparts, raising concerns of poor health and drug resistance. While it is known that AYA require caregiver and family support to successfully transition to HIV self-management, there has been limited engagement with caregivers to this end. To fill this gap, we examined caregivers’ experiences of navigating…

    Open AccessKatherine G Merrill, Jacquelyn C Campbell et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2021

    Emerging data show associations between violence victimisation and negative HIV outcomes among youth in sub-Saharan Africa. We conducted in-depth interviews with adolescents and young adults living with HIV (aged 15-24 years) in Ndola, Zambia, to better understand this relationship. We purposively selected 41 youth (24 females, 17 males) with varied experiences of violence and virologic results. Analysis used thematic coding. Two-thirds of partic…

    Open AccessChristiana Frimpong, Virginia M Burke et al.ARTICLEVulnerable Children and Youth…2021

    Little data exist on how 15-to-24-year-old perinatally infected youth living with HIV (p-YLHIV) learn their HIV status, and how those disclosure experiences may relate to current viral suppression (VS). Cross-sectional analyses were conducted using baseline data from a randomized controlled trial testing a peer mentoring program in Ndola, Zambia. Analyses were restricted to self-reported p-YLHIV to assess associations between disclosure experienc…

  • Past-Year Violence Victimization is Associated with Viral Load Failure Among HIV-Positive Adolescents and Young Adults

    Open AccessKatherine G Merrill, Jacquelyn C Campbell et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2020

    We examined the relationship between past-year violence victimization and viral load (VL) failure among consecutively-sampled male and female adolescents and young adults, aged 15-24, in four HIV clinics in Ndola, Zambia. Measures of past-year physical violence, psychological abuse, and forced sex were adapted from the ICAST-C and WHO Multi-Country Study. Using logistic regression, we derived associations between VL failure (≥ 1000 copies/mL) and…
