Evaluating the effect of interactive two-way texting on 6-month antiretroviral therapy outcomes
Retention on antiretroviral therapy (ART) is critical for achieving viral load suppression (VLS) among people living with HIV (PLHIV). Retention remains challenging in high-prevalence settings like Malawi. Short messaging service (SMS) interventions, particularly hybrid two-way texting (2wT), show promise in improving ART retention. We conducted a randomized control trial (RCT) at Lighthouse Trust in Lilongwe, Malawi, to evaluate the effectivenes…
Community client-led anti-retroviral therapy delivery for people newly diagnosed with HIV
Engaging in HIV care services can be challenging for refugees as they navigate new care systems while meeting daily needs. This pilot study assessed Early Community Client-led ART Delivery (Early CCLAD) as a differentiated care strategy for those newly diagnosed with HIV in Nakivale Refugee Settlement, Uganda. Early CCLAD was a community antiretroviral therapy delivery option where group members take turns coming to the health center.Adults acces…
Ethnic and racial differences in self-reported symptoms, health status, activity level, and missed work at 3 and 6 months following Sars-CoV-2 infection
Introduction: Data on ethnic and racial differences in symptoms and health-related impacts following SARS-CoV-2 infection are limited. We aimed to estimate the ethnic and racial differences in symptoms and health-related impacts 3 and 6 months after the first SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods: = 3,161; 2,402 SARS-CoV-2-positive, 759 SARS-CoV-2-negative). Marginal odds ratios were estimated using GEE logistic regression for individual symptoms, health…

Using Intervention Mapping methodology to design an HIV linkage intervention in a refugee settlement in rural Uganda
Nearly 80 million people have been forcibly displaced by persecution, violence, and disaster. Displaced populations, including refugees, face health challenges such as resource shortages, food and housing insecurity, violence, and disrupted social support. People living with HIV in refugee settings have decreased engagement with HIV services compared to non-refugee populations, and interventions are needed to enhance linkage to care. However, des…
Social Support and Linkage to HIV Care Following Routine HIV Testing in a Ugandan Refugee Settlement
We aimed to identify factors associated with linkage to care for individuals newly diagnosed with HIV in a refugee settlement. This study was conducted from October 2018 through January 2020 in Nakivale Refugee Settlement in Uganda. We conducted a cross-sectional survey among individuals accessing routine HIV testing services. The survey included questions on demographic factors, physical and mental health conditions, social support, and HIV-rela…
Health Worker Perspectives on Barriers and Facilitators of Assisted Partner Notification for HIV for Refugees and Ugandan Nationals
Assisted partner notification (APN) is recommended by the World Health Organization to notify sexual partners of HIV exposure. Since 2018, APN has been offered in Uganda to Ugandan nationals and refugees. Distinct challenges faced by individuals in refugee settlements may influence APN utilization and effectiveness. To explore APN barriers and facilitators, we extracted index client and sexual partner data from APN registers at 11 health centers …
Understanding the role of interpersonal violence in assisted partner notification for HIV
BACKGROUND: Assisted partner notification (APN) for HIV was introduced in refugee settlements in West Nile Uganda in 2018 to facilitate testing of sexual partners. While APN is an effective strategy recommended by the World Health Organization, its safety has not been evaluated in a refugee settlement context in which participants have high prior exposure to interpersonal violence. The extent to which interpersonal violence influences APN utiliza…
