Effects of economic empowerment and relationship strengthening intervention on financial behaviors among couples living with HIV
NCT04906616
The effect of an economic empowerment and relationship strengthening intervention on food insecurity among couples living with HIV in Malawi
Mlambe was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT #04906616, 08/15/2019)
Managing multimorbidity together
BACKGROUND: Cardiometabolic disorders are highly prevalent among people living with HIV, complicating the medication management of both conditions. Primary partners provide key sources of support for antiretroviral therapy; however, little research has considered their role in the context of comorbidities. PURPOSE: Using baseline data from the Healthy Hearts cohort study, we investigated associations between relationship dynamics and dual medicat…
Barriers to accessing care for cardiometabolic disorders in Malawi
Couples identified many barriers to CMD care access, which were perceived as greater challenges than HIV care. Partners provided critical forms of support in navigating these barriers. With the rise of CMD among PLWH, improving access to CMD care should be prioritized, using lessons learned from HIV and integrated care approaches. Partner involvement in CMD care may help mitigate most barriers to CMD care
Pilot Trial Results of Mlambe
Mlambe economic and relationship-strengthening intervention for alcohol use decreases violence and improves relationship quality in couples living with HIV in Malawi
I too have a responsibility for my partner's life
Supportive couple relationships buffer against the harms of HIV stigma on HIV treatment adherence
Increased anticipated stigma is most associated with lower ART non-adherence at lower levels of social support and sexual satisfaction. Conversely, supportive and fulfilling relationships may buffer the negative association between stigma and ART adherence. Couples' interventions that focus on improving communication and support systems within couples could reduce the negative impacts of anticipated stigma on couples living with HIV

The Likoma Network Study
The extent and structure of sexual networks have important consequences for the spread of sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV. However, very few datasets currently exist that allow a detailed investigation of sexual networks in sub-Saharan African settings where HIV epidemics have become generalized. In this paper, we describe the context and methods of the Likoma Network Study (LNS), one of the few studies that have collected extensive inf…
