Longitudinal Patterns of Adherence to Oral HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Among At-Risk Women in Tanga, Tanzania
There is scarcity of evidence on the changes over time of adherence to oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among female sex workers. Therefore, we assessed the changes of adherence to PrEP over 12 months and influencing factors for suboptimal adherence and explored strategies to optimize adherence to oral PrEP among female sex workers in Tanzania. Convergence analysis was conducted involving 313 respondent driven sampled participants in the …
I Stopped to Prove them Wrong
High discontinuation of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among high-risk women undermines its effectiveness. However, there is limited evidence on the reasons for PrEP discontinuation among female sex workers in sub-Saharan Africa. Exploring population-specific reasons for PrEP discontinuation will guide the design of client-centered strategies. Thus, we explored the reasons for PrEP discontinuation among female sex workers in Tanzania using mixed…
HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis use during periods of unprotected sex among female sex workers in Tanga city, Tanzania
Background Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) prevention-effective adherence is of critical importance but challenging particularly among key populations where periods of high HIV risk are frequent. We assessed the use of PrEP with reference to periods of unprotected sex among female sex workers in the city of Tanga. Methods This was part of the pragmatic quasi-experimental trial for HIV PrEP rollout in Tanzania involving a control cohort of 313 fem…

Therefore, this study focused on evaluating the effects of SCD on the quality of life among children living with SCD and their parents. The study employed a qualitative approac…
