Risk Compensation in the Context of Sexually Transmitted Infections in Women Using the Dapivirine Vaginal Ring in Africa
Background: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) remain a critical public health challenge globally, with Africa facing the highest incidence and mortality rates. The Dapivirine Vaginal Ring (DVR) is a discreet HIV prevention tool for women but does not protect against other non-HIV STIs. Like any other HIV biomedical prevention tool, DVR might lead to increased STI prevalence. Thus, this scoping review assessed the prevalence of STIs and the s…
Resilience of mental health services amidst Ebola disease outbreaks in Africa
Introduction: Health systems including mental health (MH) systems are resilient if they protect human life and produce better health outcomes for all during disease outbreaks or epidemics like Ebola disease and their aftermaths. We explored the resilience of MH services amidst Ebola disease outbreaks in Africa; specifically, to (i) describe the pre-, during-, and post-Ebola disease outbreak MH systems in African countries that have experienced Eb…
Modeling the Lassa fever outbreak synchronously occurring with cholera and Covid-19 outbreaks in Nigeria 2021
Nigeria struggles with seasonal outbreaks of Lassa fever (LF), with 70 to 100% of its states affected annually. Since 2018, the seasonal dynamics have changed with a stark increase in infections, though the pattern in 2021 differed from the other years. Nigeria had three outbreaks of Lassa Fever in 2021. In that year, Nigeria also experienced substantial burdens from COVID-19 and Cholera. There is potential that these three outbreak events intera…
