How the multiple burdens of daily oral antiretroviral therapy shape the acceptability of long-acting injectable cabotegravir and rilpivirine among people living with HIV in Uganda and South Africa
Long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy (LAI-ART) has the potential to improve adherence and treatment outcomes among people living with HIV (PLHIV) who experience challenges with adherence to oral medication. We explored how experiences with daily oral ART shaped LAI-ART acceptability within a clinical trial in Uganda and South Africa. A qualitative methods sub-study was nested within a phase 3b randomised clinical trial evaluating long-ac…
Infant feeding and treatment practices could lead to enhanced transmission of Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) and other orally shed infections via saliva, in rural south-western Uganda
This qualitative sub-study investigated household practices affecting orally shed infections using Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) as a focus. Participants enrolled from 50 households in rural south-western Uganda were followed monthly up to three times. At enrolment, in-depth interviews were completed, and venous blood collected. KSHV seropositivity was defined as anti-KSHV antibody detection to any of 25 antigens by multiplex bea…
Integrated healthcare services for HIV, diabetes mellitus and hypertension in selected health facilities in Kampala and Wakiso districts, Uganda
Health policies in Africa are shifting towards integrated care services for chronic conditions, but in parts of Africa robust evidence on effectiveness is limited. We assessed the integration of vertical health services for HIV, diabetes and hypertension provided in a feasibility study within five health facilities in Uganda. From November 2018 to January 2020, we conducted a series of three in-depth interviews with 31, 29 and 24 service users at…
Faithfulness without sexual exclusivity
This article explores gendered meanings of both faithfulness and sexual exclusivity within intimate long-term relationships, and the implications for HIV prevention messaging. In 2011–12, in-depth interviews were conducted with a random sample of 50 men and women (52 per cent women) in long-term relationships in rural Uganda. Confirming prior research, we found that a double standard exists for sexual exclusivity, where men define faithfulness to…
Ethical issues in intervention studies on the prevention and management of diabetes and hypertension in sub-Saharan Africa
Conducting intervention studies in Africa, where medicines supply for chronic conditions is inequitable and patchy, raises major ethical issues. \n \nHere we discuss what should the ethical approach be for a research programme in terms of provision of a steady and sustainable supply of medicines for patients with diabetes and hypertension
How Follow-Up Counselling Increases Linkage to Care Among HIV-Positive Persons Identified Through Home-Based HIV Counselling and Testing
We investigated how follow-up counselling had increased linkage to HIV care in a trial of referral to care and follow-up counseling, compared to referral to care only, for participants diagnosed as HIV-positive through home-based HIV counseling and testing. We carried out a cross-sectional qualitative study. Using random stratified sampling, we selected 43 trial participants (26 [60%] in the intervention arm). Sample stratification was by sex, di…
Understanding kidney disease in rural central Uganda – Findings from a qualitative study
As part of a multicentre study on kidney disease (ARK) undertaken in Malawi, South Africa and Uganda we undertook a social science component in Uganda to gather information on people's understandings and perceptions of a diagnosis of kidney dysfunction, treatment and treatment seeking. We recruited 46 people who had been given information about kidney dysfunction and had been found to have some, usually early, signs of mild impairment. Data were …
“He was no longer listening to me”
In the era of widespread antiretroviral therapy, few studies have explored the perspectives of the relatives involved in caring for people living with HIV (PLHIV) during periods of ill-health leading up to their demise. In this analysis, we explore the process of care for PLHIV as their death approached, from their relatives' perspective. We apply Tronto's care ethics framework that distinguishes between care-receiving among PLHIV on the one hand…
Are treatment supporters relevant in long-term Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) adherence? Experiences from a long-term ART cohort in Uganda
Treatment supporters remain important in adherence to long-term ART. HIV-care providers need to encourage the involvement of a treatment supporter for individuals taking ART long-term
Being an 'adolescent
The behaviour of adolescents is recognised increasingly as having substantial and long-term consequences for their health. We examined the meaning of 'adolescence' in southern Uganda with HIV-positive young people aged 11-24 years. Adolescent girls and boys are described differently in the local language (Luganda). Adolescence is described as a behavioural rather than a life course category and an inherently dangerous one. The practices, risks an…
