Comparative cost analysis of community-based tuberculosis screening
Community-based active case finding (ACF) for tuberculosis (TB) is recommended in high-burden settings, yet evidence on implementation costs from prospective programmatic data remains limited. We estimated and compared the costs of two community-based ACF screening approaches: Computer-Aided Detection of chest X-rays alone ( CAD4TBv7 approach ) and CAD4TBv7 followed by point-of-care C-reactive protein (CRP) testing within a predefined score windo…
If your CD4 count lowers, that is when you are similar to a person that is non-existent” A qualitative exploration of perceptions around advanced HIV disease in South Africa

Facilitators and barriers to Covid-19 testing in community and clinical settings
The sudden emergence of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) had a devastating impact on health systems and population health globally. To combat the spread of COVID-19, countries enacted guidelines and safety measures, including testing, contact tracing, and quarantine. It was unclear the extent to which uptake of COVID-19 testing and other health initiatives would be accepted in countries with a history of dealing with widespread communicabl…
Impact of a multi-disease integrated screening and diagnostic model for Covid-19, TB, and HIV in Lesotho
The surge of the COVID-19 pandemic challenged health services globally, and in Lesotho, the HIV and tuberculosis (TB) services were similarly affected. Integrated, multi-disease diagnostic services were proposed solutions to mitigate these disruptions. We describe and evaluate the effect of an integrated, hospital-based COVID-19, TB and HIV screening and diagnostic model in two rural districts in Lesotho, during the period between December 2020 a…
Creating access to Sars-CoV-2 screening and testing through community-based Covid-19 case-finding, observations from cross-sectional studies in Lesotho and Zambia
In conclusion, in this project we learned that implementing COVID-19 screening and testing by lay health workers in the community is possible. Characteristics of the population screened, tested, and identified to have SARS-CoV-2 are described to help guide development of future testing strategies
