Facilitators and barriers for completion of the diagnostic process among people with presumed tuberculosis in Central Uganda
Uganda has improved its tuberculosis (TB) diagnostic processes over the years since the scale up of the Xpert MTB/RIF testing in 2012. However, there are continued delays in diagnosis and missing people with TB who are either not diagnosed or notified. We explored facilitators and barriers for completion of the TB diagnostic process among people with presumed TB in selected health facilities in Central Uganda. This was a qualitative exploration i…
Experiences of undetectable = untransmittable among couples with different HIV serostatus
HIV serodifferent couples where one partner is living with HIV and the other is not, remain a key population for HIV prevention. Maintaining an undetectable viral load eliminates the risk of sexual HIV transmission, this principle is often summarised as undetectable = untransmittable (U = U). However, the extent to which this principle is understood and utilised by serodifferent couples remains unclear. This study aimed to explore both partners’ …
Oral PrEP Use by Transgender Men in Uganda
How PrEP delivery was integrated into public ART clinics in central Uganda
Tailored delivery strategies are important for optimizing the benefit and overall reach of PrEP in sub-Saharan Africa. An integrated approach of delivering time-limited PrEP in combination with ART to serodifferent couples encourages PrEP use in the HIV-negative partner as a bridge to sustained ART use. Although PrEP has been delivered in ART clinics for many years, the processes involved in integrating PrEP into ART services are not well underst…
Implementation of gender-based violence screening guidelines in public HIV treatment programs
Background HIV and gender-based violence (GBV) intersect to threaten population health. The Uganda Ministry of Health recommends routine GBV screening alongside HIV care but evidence detailing its implementation in HIV care settings is limited. We evaluated screening practices in public HIV clinics to generate evidence supporting GBV screening optimization. Methods To evaluate GBV screening implementation in antiretroviral therapy (ART) clinics, …
Integrated PrEP and STI Services for Transgender Women in Uganda
How Central Ugandan HIV Clinics Adapted During Covid-19 Lockdown Restrictions to Promote Continuous Access to Care
Health Care Worker Perspectives of HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Service Delivery in Central Uganda
Background: Scale-up of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) services in Uganda is ongoing. However, health care workers (HCWs) may not be aware of PrEP nor what offering this service entails. We explored the impact of standardized HCW training on the knowledge and perspectives of PrEP service delivery in Uganda. Methods: We recruited HCWs from facilities that offered HIV-related services in Central Uganda. Using the Uganda Ministry of Health curr…
