Impact of the micro-research model on building research capacity in undergraduate health professions students in HIV-related research
Open AccessGodfrey Zari Rukundo, Peace Kellen et al.ARTICLEBMC Medical Education2026
BACKGROUND: Low-income settings such as Uganda bear a disproportionately high burden of diseases such as HIV/AIDS, but contribute little to knowledge production to address their health challenges. The training of health professionals traditionally focuses on clinical skills with less emphasis on research; yet, in practice, health professionals are expected to do operational research. In this study, we evaluate the impact of a micro-research model…
Mentorship—A critical metric for career development and advancing global health
Open AccessJessica E Haberer, Pauline Byakika‐Kibwika et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025
Mentorship plays a critical role in promoting career development and generating impactful research and programs, yet it is typically considered an altruistic endeavor and a luxury. Mentorship programs are largely unfunded and unsupported, particularly in the Global South. However, they are important in global health given the high need for mentors in many settings as well as the cross-cultural complexities and power dynamics inherent in the field…
WhatsApp-based sexual and reproductive health education for adolescents with perinatally acquired HIV
Open AccessScarlett Bergam, Thobekile Sibaya et al.ARTICLESex Education2025
Adolescents with perinatally-acquired HIV in South Africa have limited access to relevant sexual and reproductive health (SRH) education. Mobile health (mHealth) can discreetly deliver such education but has not been tested with members of this population. In this study, we describe the effects of an mHealth intervention to support transition to adult care-Interactive Transition Support for Adolescents with HIV (InTSHA)-on SRH attitudes. Between …
I’ll Continue If I Have a Positive Mind”
Open AccessAmelia M Stanton, Madison R Fertig et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2025
Pregnant and postpartum people (PPPs) face heightened risk for HIV acquisition, yet depression and trauma-related symptoms can undermine adherence to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). To inform the development of a brief mental health-focused adherence intervention, we explored the impacts of depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms on PrEP use among PPPs in Cape Town, South Africa. Twenty-eight PPPs with elevated symptoms of d…

How Mobile Health Can Change the Contexts of Living With HIV and Engaging With Treatment and Care in Iran
Open AccessVira Ameli, Geoff Wong et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2025Referencias: 71
Mobile health (mHealth) interventions are increasingly used to address the challenges of living with HIV and engaging with antiretroviral therapy. A wealth of evidence supports the efficacy of mHealth in supporting living with HIV. Yet, there is a dearth of evidence on how mHealth improves outcomes, which features are effective, and why these work in a particular setting. This study uses stakeholder views, including patients, providers, peer supp…
Sexually transmitted infection (STI) knowledge and perceptions among people in HIV-sero-different partnerships in rural southwestern Uganda
Open AccessPooja Chitneni, Moran Owembabazi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024
Globally, over one million people acquire curable sexually transmitted infections (STI) each day. Understanding how people think about STIs is key to building culturally appropriate STI prevention and treatment programs. We explored STI knowledge and perceptions in rural, southwestern Uganda to inform future interventions. From August 2020 to December 2020, we conducted individual in-depth interviews among adult men and women (≥18 years) with rec…
Acceptability, feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of the mHealth intervention, InTSHA, on retention in care and viral suppression among adolescents with HIV in South Africa
Open AccessBrian C Zanoni, Moherndran Archary et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2024
We describe the results of a pilot randomized clinical trial of a mobile phone-based intervention, InTSHA: Interactive Transition Support for Adolescents with HIV, compared to standard care. Encrypted, closed group chats delivered via WhatsApp provided peer support and improved communication between adolescents with HIV, their caregivers, and healthcare providers. We randomized 80 South African adolescents ages 15 to 19 years with perinatally-acq…
Negative clinic experiences as a barrier to care for people with HIV and their impact on patient preferences for intervention support
Clare Killian, Rebecca West et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2024
We conducted qualitative research among people with HIV (PWH) and care providers in Cape Town, South Africa to understand the impact of negative clinic experiences on adherence and support preferences. In-depth interviews were conducted with 41 patients with an unsuppressed viral load or a treatment gap, and focus group discussions with physicians, nurses, counselors, and community health workers. Questions addressed treatment history and adheren…
Social networks and HIV treatment adherence among people with HIV initiating treatment in rural Uganda and peri-urban South Africa
Open AccessAlison B Comfort, Stephen Asiimwe et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2024
Timely initiation of and adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is critical for improving HIV outcomes and reducing HIV transmissibility. Social networks, or the social relationships individuals have with each other, have been linked with positive health outcomes, but less is known about the extent to which social network composition and structure are associated with improved ART adherence among people living with HIV (PLWH). We conducted an e…

Uptake and Persistence of Safer Conception Strategies Among South African Women Planning for Pregnancy
Open AccessOluwaseyi O Isehunwa, Manjeetha Jaggernath et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2024
Safer conception strategies can minimize HIV acquisition during periconception periods among women living in HIV-endemic areas. We examined uptake and predictors of persistent use of the same safer conception strategy among a cohort of HIV-uninfected South African women ages 18-35 years planning for pregnancy with a partner living with HIV or of unknown HIV-serostatus. The safer conception strategies we evaluated included oral PrEP, condomless se…
The feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of real-time monitors and SMS on tuberculosis medication adherence in southwestern Uganda
Open AccessAngella Musiimenta, Wilson Tumuhimbise et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023
We conducted a pilot randomized controlled trial among patients initiating treatment for drug-sensitive tuberculosis (TB). Participants received real-time electronic adherence monitors and were randomized (1:1:1) to: (i) daily SMS (reminders to TB patients and notifications to social supporters sent daily for 3 months, then triggered by late or missed dosing for 3 months); (ii) weekly SMS (reminders to TB patients and notifications to social supp…

Health Care Worker Perspectives of HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Service Delivery in Central Uganda
Open AccessTimothy R Muwonge, Rogers Nsubuga et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022
Background: Scale-up of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) services in Uganda is ongoing. However, health care workers (HCWs) may not be aware of PrEP nor what offering this service entails. We explored the impact of standardized HCW training on the knowledge and perspectives of PrEP service delivery in Uganda. Methods: We recruited HCWs from facilities that offered HIV-related services in Central Uganda. Using the Uganda Ministry of Health curr…

Development of a transition readiness score for adolescents living with perinatally-acquired HIV and transitioning to adult care
Open AccessBrian C Zanoni, Nicholas Musinguzi et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2022
We created a transition readiness score for adolescents with perinatally-acquired HIV as they transition from pediatric to adult care. Of the 199 adolescents who transitioned to adult care, 84 (42%) had viral suppression (< 200 copies/ml) one year after transition. Adolescents on first-line ART, with documented HIV status disclosure, and higher rating on the HIV Adolescent Readiness to Transition Scale had significantly higher odds of viral suppr…
Understanding PrEP Acceptability Among Priority Populations
Open AccessRadhika Sundararajan, Monique A Wyatt et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2022
Daily oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) can safely and effectively prevent HIV acquisition in HIV-negative individuals. However, uptake of PrEP has been suboptimal in sub-Saharan Africa. The goal of this qualitative study was to identify facilitators of and barriers to PrEP acceptability among target users not taking PrEP. Fifty-nine individuals belonging to Ugandan priority populations participated in a single in-depth interview. Participants…
