  • An educational intervention improves HIV competence of secondary school staff in Uganda

    Emmanuel Kimera, Mari Armstrong-Hough et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2026

    HIV competence, encompassing knowledge, skills, attitudes, and practices to prevent, manage, and reduce HIV impact, is critical for meeting young people's HIV prevention and care needs. This study evaluated the effect of the Community of Practice on HIV (CoP-HIV) educational intervention on staff HIV competence and prevention knowledge in Ugandan schools, where HIV prevalence is rising among youth. Using a stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial, …

  • Acceptability of an adapted mindfulness and acceptance-based intervention to support adolescents with HIV

    Open AccessKhamisi Musanje, Moses R Kamya et al.ARTICLEJournal of Contextual Behavioral…2023

    While the adaptation of evidence-based psychosocial support tailors the intervention components to the targeted context, minimizing the associated costs of developing new interventions for low-income contexts, the acceptability of such adapted interventions is important for augmenting successful implementation and sustainability. Given that psychosocial support to persons living with HIV is mostly rendered by healthcare providers, their acceptanc…

  • Photovoicing Empowerment and Social Change for Youth Living With HIV/Aids in Uganda

    Open AccessEmmanuel Kimera, VindevogelARTICLEQualitative Health Research2022Citada por: 1Referencias: 36

    In this article, we present new insights to the application of photovoice as a tool for empowerment of the marginalized and an antecedent for social change. Special attention is directed to the use of photovoice in raising critical consciousness of the stigmatized and marginalized youth living with HIV/AIDS as a catalyst for empowerment through both the process and content of the research. The article also expounds on the practical execution of p…

  • Care and support for youth living with HIV/Aids in secondary schools

    Open AccessEmmanuel Kimera, Vindevogel et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Despite the limited care and support strategies specific for YLWHA currently available in schools, our study points to optimism and high potential given stakeholders' identified avenues for improvement. We posit that promoting HIV/AIDS-care and support in schools is a gradual process requiring each school to develop a strong knowledge base about HIV/AIDS and support needs of YLWHA, develop a coherent and school-wide approach, and collaborate exte…

  • HIV-Related Stigma Among Youth Living With HIV in Western Uganda

    Open AccessEmmanuel Kimera, Vindevogel et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2021Citada por: 1Referencias: 48

    We present an explanatory theory for HIV-related stigma from the perspectives of youth living with HIV/AIDS (YLWHA) in Western Uganda, on which the fight against this relentless stigma in this age group and locality can be founded. A constant comparative method was used to analyze textual data from in-depth interviews with 35 YLWHA, selected from three health facilities. A stigma process model for YLWHA was developed with the stigmatizing feeling…

  • Experiences and perceptions of youth living with HIV in Western Uganda on school attendance

    Open AccessEmmanuel Kimera, Vindevogel et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    Most of the barriers reported arose from HIV-related stigma and financial challenges whose genesis transcends school boundaries. While YLWHA reported measures to cope, and support from other people, these were non-sustainable and on a limited scale due to disclosure apprehension at school and the indiscretion of those who learnt about their status. To promote supportive school environments for YLWHA, integrated curricular and extracurricular inte…

  • Youth living with HIV/Aids in secondary schools

    Open AccessEmmanuel Kimera, Vindevogel et al.ARTICLESAHARA-J Journal of Social…2019Citada por: 2Referencias: 46

    As Youth Living With HIV/AIDS (YLWHA) continue to survive and live with HIV chronically due to effective Antiretroviral Therapy (ART), it is paramount to work toward maximising their psychosocial wellbeing. The school where these YLWHA are expected to spend most of their time is an excellent environment to investigate this. In this study, we explore perspectives of Peer Educators (PEs) in secondary schools of one district in Western Uganda on how…
