Predictors of HIV treatment interruption among people living with HIV in 6 regions in Ghana
Achieving the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets is challenged by suboptimal retention in antiretroviral therapy (ART) programmes, particularly in resource-limited settings. In Ghana, where ART coverage remains low, HIV treatment interruption (TI) poses a significant barrier to sustained viral suppression and HIV control. This study aimed to quantify the magnitude and identify predictors of HIV interruption in treatment across six administrative regions in …
Modelling correlates of adolescent and young people viral suppression pathway in Zambia
This study aimed to look into the correlates of viral suppression in HIV-infected adolescents by utilizing Markov renewal multi-state survival models based on the Bayesian Approach, which use a deterministic posterior approximation. We developed a patient-level viral suppression transition framework to quantify the prognostic factors influencing viral suppression. The results showed that HIV-infected adolescents had higher risk of attaining viral…
A hybrid effectiveness implementation trial testing an HIV and STI prevention program for mother figures and their adolescent girls and young women delivered by peer leaders

Covid-19 vaccine uptake and associated risk factors among first antenatal care attendees in Zambia, 2021–2022
Pregnant women are considered a high-risk group for COVID-19, and a priority for vaccination. Routine antenatal care (ANC) provides an opportunity to track trends and factors associated with vaccine uptake. We sought to evaluate COVID-19 vaccine uptake among pregnant women attending ANC and assess the factors associated with vaccine in Zambia. We conducted a repeated cross-sectional study in 39 public health facilities in four districts in Zambia…
Modeling Sars-CoV-2 antibody seroprevalence and its determinants in Ghana
Estimates of SARS-CoV-2 transmission rates have significant public health policy implications since they shed light on the severity of illness in various groups and aid in strategic deployment of diagnostics, treatment and vaccination. Population-based investigations have not been conducted in Ghana to identify the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2. We conducted an age stratified nationally representative household study to determine the seroprevalenc…
Integrating isoniazid preventive therapy into the fast-track HIV treatment model in urban Zambia
Most people living with HIV (PLHIV) established on treatment in Zambia receive multi-month prescribing and dispensing (MMSD) antiretroviral therapy (ART) and are enrolled in less-intensive differentiated service delivery (DSD) models such as Fast Track (FT), where clients collect ART every 3–6 months and make clinical visits every 6 months. In 2019, Zambia introduced Isoniazid Preventive Therapy (IPT) with scheduled visits at 2 weeks and 1, 3, an…
Intersection of alcohol use, HIV infection, and the HIV care continuum in Zambia
Through a nationally-representative household survey, we measured the prevalence and correlates of unhealthy alcohol use (UAU) in Zambia and its association with the HIV care continuum. Adolescent and adult (ages 15–59 years) data, including the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption (AUDIT-C), from the 2016 Zambia Population-based HIV Impact Assessment, were analyzed. UAU was defined as AUDIT-C of 3 + points for women and 4 + for …
Assessment of the influence of ABO blood groups on oral cholera vaccine immunogenicity in a cholera endemic area in Zambia
Our results do not support the idea that ABO blood grouping influence vaccine uptake and responses against cholera
Performance of Machine Learning Classifiers in Classifying Stunting among Under-Five Children in Zambia
Stunting is a global public health issue. We sought to train and evaluate machine learning (ML) classification algorithms on the Zambia Demographic Health Survey (ZDHS) dataset to predict stunting among children under the age of five in Zambia. We applied Logistic regression (LR), Random Forest (RF), SV classification (SVC), XG Boost (XgB) and Naïve Bayes (NB) algorithms to predict the probability of stunting among children under five years of ag…
Efficacy of the Common Elements Treatment Approach (Ceta) for Unhealthy Alcohol Use Among Adults with HIV in Zambia
Effect of Enhanced Adherence Package on Early ART Uptake Among HIV-Positive Pregnant Women in Zambia
Early linear growth retardation
We found slower rate of growth among otherwise healthy Zambian infants. The data suggests that growth retardation is universal and profound in this cohort and may have already been occurring in utero
Findings from a comprehensive diarrhoea prevention and treatment programme in Lusaka, Zambia
Well-packaged diarrhoea preventive and treatment interventions delivered at the clinic and community-level could potentially reduce probability of death among children aged 1-59 months
Contraceptive use among HIV-infected women and men receiving antiretroviral therapy in Lusaka, Zambia
While FP-ART integration may be a promising strategy for increasing FP service uptake, such services must focus on assessing sexual activity and advocating for dual method use to increase effective contraceptive use and prevent unintended pregnancies
Prevalence of hypertension and its treatment among adults presenting to primary health clinics in rural Zambia
Age standardized prevalence of hypertension in rural primary health clinics in Zambia was high compared to other studies in rural Africa; however, we diagnosed hypertension with only one measurement and this may have biased our findings. Future efforts to improve hypertension control should focus on population preventive care and primary healthcare provider education on individual management
