How does HIV-related stigma correlate with HIV prevalence in African countries? Distinct perspectives from individuals living with and living without HIV
The results indicate that among people not living with HIV, subnational HIV prevalence was negatively associated with discriminatory attitudes and prejudice towards PLWH, but HIV prevalence was positively associated with self-reported internalized stigma among PLWH. These results provide insight on how resources could be invested to reduce HIV related stigma among both PLWH and those not living with HIV
Costs and Scale-Up Costs of Integrating HIV Self-Testing Into Civil Society Organisation-Led Programmes for Key Populations in Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal, and Mali
Despite significant progress on the proportion of individuals who know their HIV status in 2020, Côte d'Ivoire (76%), Senegal (78%), and Mali (48%) remain far below, and key populations (KP) including female sex workers (FSW), men who have sex with men (MSM), and people who use drugs (PWUD) are the most vulnerable groups with a HIV prevalence at 5–30%. HIV self-testing (HIVST), a process where a person collects his/her own specimen, performs a te…
Challenges of HIV Self-Test Distribution for Index Testing When HIV Status Disclosure Is Low
Context: The rate of HIV status disclosure to partners is low in Mali, a West African country with a national HIV prevalence of 1.2%. HIV self-testing (HIVST) could increase testing coverage among partners of people living with HIV (PLHIV). The AutoTest-VIH, Libre d'accéder à la connaissance de son Statut (ATLAS) program was launched in West Africa with the objective of distributing nearly half a million HIV self-tests from 2019 to 2021 in Côte d…
Introducing and Implementing HIV Self-Testing in Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, and Senegal
Background: The ATLAS program promotes and implements HIVST in Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, and Senegal. Priority groups include members of key populations—female sex workers (FSW), men having sex with men (MSM), and people who use drugs (PWUD)—and their partners and relatives. HIVST distribution activities, which began in mid-2019, were impacted in early 2020 by the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This article, focusing only on outreach activities among key…
Describing, analysing and understanding the effects of the introduction of HIV self-testing in West Africa through the Atlas programme in Côte d’Ivoire, Mali and Senegal
ATLAS is the first comprehensive study on HIV self-testing in West Africa. The ATLAS programme focuses particularly on the secondary distribution of HIVST. This protocol was approved by three national ethic committees and the WHO's Ethical Research Committee
The effect of family and neighbourhood social capital on youth mental health in South Africa
INTRODUCTION: Despite the prevalence of mental illness among young adults in South Africa, few studies have examined its correlation with social capital using nationally representative data. Sources of social capital are different for youth, which is why understanding the correlation between family and neighbourhood social capital and mental health outcomes is important for designing optimal interventions. The objective of this study was to exami…
Union Formation Among Youth in Sub-Saharan Africa
Is early sexual debut a key determinant of union formation among young adults in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA)? Using a life-course perspective, this article analysed data from Demographic and Health Surveys of selected countries to examine the relationship between sexual behaviour measured by age at first sex and the likelihood of cohabitation or marriage. These associations were examined using binary and multinomial logistic regressions. Findings su…
