Lessons learned from the Covid-19 pandemic
INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic strained public health infrastructure in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), leading them to leverage resources of existing public health programmes including HIV, tuberculosis (TB) and malaria. This manuscript systematically documents how these programmes were used in response to understand both the barriers and facilitators encountered in the process. METHODS: From March through August 2023, we co…
Methods for conducting trends analysis
Our approach can be used to support trend comparisons for variables in HIV surveys in low-income settings. Independent national household surveys can be assessed for comparability, adjusted as appropriate, and used to estimate trends in key indicators. Analyzing trends over time can not only provide insights into Kenya's progress toward HIV epidemic control but also identify gaps
Where Are the Newly Diagnosed HIV Positives in Kenya? Time to Consider Geo-Spatially Guided Targeting at a Finer Scale to Reach the “First 90”
Background: The UNAIDS 90-90-90 Fast-Track targets provide a framework for assessing coverage of HIV testing services (HTS) and awareness of HIV status – the “first 90.” In Kenya, the bulk of HIV testing targets are aligned to the five highest HIV-burden counties. However, we do not know if most of the new HIV diagnoses are in these five highest-burden counties or elsewhere. Methods: We analyzed facility-level HTS data in Kenya from 1 October 201…
Noncommunicable disease burden among HIV patients in care
We analyzed 3170 records of HIV-infected patients; 2115 (66.3%) were from women. Slightly over half (51.1%) of patient records were from PLHIVs aged above 35 years. Close to two-thirds (63.9%) of PLHIVs were on ART. Proportion of any documented NCD among PLHIV was 11.5% (95% confidence interval [CI] 9.3, 14.1), with elevated blood pressure as the most common NCD 343 (87.5%) among PLHIV with a diagnosed NCD. Despite this observation, only 17 (4.9%…
Building laboratory capacity to detect and characterize pathogens of public and global health security concern in Kenya
Since 1979, multiple CDC Kenya programs have supported the development of diagnostic expertise and laboratory capacity in Kenya. In 2004, CDC's Global Disease Detection (GDD) program within the Division of Global Health Protection in Kenya (DGHP-Kenya) initiated close collaboration with Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) and developed a laboratory partnership called the Diagnostic and Laboratory Systems Program (DLSP). DLSP built onto previ…
Systems, supplies, and staff
The confusion over roles, reporting, and management found in this evaluation highlights a need to adapt, implement, and communicate health strategies at the county level, in order to inform and train HCWs during health system transformations. International, national, and county stakeholders could strengthen preparedness and response for cholera and other public health emergencies in Kenya, and thereby strengthen global health security, through fu…
Universal voluntary HIV testing with immediate antiretroviral therapy as a strategy for elimination of HIV transmission
HIV Testing in the Era of Treatment Scale Up
he ways in which global responses to HIV/AIDS have differed from responses to other infectious diseases have been extensively discussed in the literature.1,2 Bayer proposed the term to refer to the compromises reached early on in the epidemic between civil liberty proponents and the public health establishment, affecting policy and practice concerning surveillance, HIV testing, and contact investigation and tracing. The international response to …

The Serostatus Approach to Fighting the HIV Epidemic
In the United States, HIV prevention programs have historically tailored activities for specific groups primarily on the basis of behavioral risk factors and demographic characteristics. Through the Serostatus Approach to Fighting the Epidemic (SAFE), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is now expanding prevention programs, especially for individuals with HIV, to reduce the risk of transmission as a supplement to current programs that …
Prevention of Mother-to-Child HIV Transmission in Resource-Poor Countries
Each year, an estimated 590,000 infants acquire human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV) infection from their mothers, mostly in developing countries that are unable to implement interventions now standard in the industrialized world. In resource-poor settings, the HIV pandemic has eroded hard-won gains in infant and child survival. Recent clinical trial results from international settings suggest that short-course antiretroviral regimens could …

Clinical research, prophylaxis, therapy, and care for HIV disease in Africa
By the end of the century, citizens of resource-poor countries will constitute 90% of the world's human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected people. Clinical management of such persons in developing countries has been neglected; most AIDS research has concentrated on epidemiology, and donor agencies have generally invested in the prevention of HIV infection. The heavy burden of HIV disease in Africa requires that care for AIDS be addressed, and …
