  • Preventing HIV Infection in Pregnant Women in Western Uganda Through a Comprehensive Antenatal Care-Based Intervention

    Open AccessLisa S Jahn, Agnes Kengonzi et al.ARTICLEArchives of Sexual Behavior2024

    We implemented and assessed a comprehensive, antenatal care (ANC)-embedded strategy to prevent HIV seroconversions during pregnancy in Uganda. HIV-negative first-time ANC clients were administered an HIV risk assessment tool and received individual risk counseling. Those attending ANC without partners obtained formal partner invitation letters. After three months, repeat HIV testing was carried out; non-attending women were reminded via phone. We…

  • Repercussions of the Covid-19 Response in Pregnant Women in Western Uganda

    Open AccessStefanie Theuring, Agnes Kengonzi et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    Limited research exists on pregnant women's knowledge, attitudes, and behavior concerning COVID-19 in sub-Saharan Africa. We performed a cross-sectional study among 648 pregnant women in Fort Portal, Uganda, after the first lockdown starting in June 2020. Structured interviews were conducted at three different facilities during routine antenatal care, assessing sociodemographic background, knowledge of COVID-19, prevention behavior adherence, and…

  • 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…

  • Sexual Risk Behavior in HIV-Uninfected Pregnant Women in Western Uganda

    Open AccessStefanie Theuring, Kenyonyozi Rubagumya et al.ARTICLEArchives of Sexual Behavior2021Referencias: 24

    Our aim was to identify sexual risk behavior among HIV-negative pregnant women in Kabarole District, Uganda, by conducting a cross-sectional study among 1610 women within three healthcare settings. One in six women engaged in HIV-specific risk behaviors including multiple sexual partners or alcohol abuse; 80% of the pregnant women reported to generally abstain from using condoms. In multivariate analysis, predictors of sexual risk behavior includ…

  • 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…

  • Forecast analysis of any opportunistic infection among HIV positive individuals on antiretroviral therapy in Uganda

    Open AccessJohn Rubaihayo, Nazarius Mbona Tumwesigye et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    While the prevalence of any OI among HIV positive individuals on HAART in Uganda is expected to decrease overall, it's unlikely that OIs will be completely eliminated in the foreseeable future. There is therefore need for continued efforts in prevention and control of opportunistic infections in all HIV/AIDS care programmes in these settings
