Scaling-up tuberculosis preventive therapy to HIV-negative contacts of bacteriologically confirmed TB cases aged 5 years and above – Lessons from a tuberculosis preventive therapy surge activity in Za…
While tuberculosis preventive therapy (TPT) coverage among people living with HIV in Zambia has improved, uptake among HIV-negative contacts aged ≥5 years remains low. Despite evidence showing that TPT can reduce TB incidence by up to 60% in HIV-negative individuals, there is a paucity of evidence on programmatic rollout to this population in Zambia and the region. We present programme data from a TPT surge aimed at increasing uptake among ≥5 yea…
Viral suppression and associated factors after enhanced adherence counseling among people living with HIV with unsuppressed viral loads at tertiary and first-level health facilities in Zambia
People living with HIV (PLHIV) who do not achieve viral suppression on antiretroviral therapy contribute to HIV transmission. Poor adherence is a major factor associated with high viral load (VL). Enhanced adherence counseling (EAC) is a targeted intervention to improve adherence and achieve viral suppression, but data on post-EAC outcomes in Zambia remain limited. This study assessed viral suppression and associated factors among PLHIV with unsu…
Brucella Seroprevalence and Associated Risk Factors in Occupationally Exposed Humans in Selected Districts of Southern Province, Zambia
Background: Brucellosis is a neglected debilitating zoonosis widely recognized as an occupational health hazard. The seroprevalence of human anti- Brucella antibodies in high-risk populations, as well as their risk factors, have not been well-documented in Zambia. This study aimed at estimating the Brucella seroprevalence in herdsmen and abattoir workers and assess the associated risk factors. Methods: A cross-sectional seroepidemiological study …
