  • The impact of US Government Stop Work Order on HIV epidemic trajectory in Zimbabwe

    Open AccessIsaac Taramusi, John Stover et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Zimbabwe is highly dependent on United States Government (USG) funding for the HIV Response, where 42% of the HIV expenditures in 2020 were financed by the USG and in 2023, PEPFAR invested more than $200 million to support HIV programmes. In late January 2025, the USG issued a “Stop Work Order,” suspending funding for international aid and development during a 90-day review period and this was expected to have a significant negative impact on the…

  • HIV incidence and prevalence projections for Zimbabwe

    Isaac Taramusi, John Stover et al.ARTICLEAfrican Journal of AIDS Research2025

    Introduction : Understanding how HIV epidemics are likely to behave in the future is key to informing HIV response strategies in low-income countries. Up-to-date HIV epidemiological estimates are important for policy decision- making, but surveillance data can be out of date. This study compared forecasts from HIV epidemiological models. Methods : Five independent modelling groups (EMOD-HIV, Goals, HIV Synthesis, Optima and PopART-IBM) calibrated…

  • Contraception to women’s economic empowerment

    Open AccessJocelyn E Finlay, Mariam Gulaid et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2025Referencias: 14

    The pathway linking contraceptive access and use to women's economic empowerment is explored in this narrative review. Contraception can have a direct effect on women's economic empowerment through supporting bodily autonomy, but the main way in which the pathway links is through fertility. Contraception impacts the timing, spacing, and number of births, and these elements of fertility each impact the process of women's economic empowerment. Thes…

  • A quantitative assessment of the consistency of projections from five mathematical models of the HIV epidemic in South Africa

    Open AccessHaroon Moolla, Andrew Phillips et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    While models produced consistent estimates for several outputs, there are areas of variability that should be investigated. This is important if projections are to be used in subsequent cost-effectiveness studies

  • Estimating private sector out-of-pocket expenditures on family planning commodities in low-and-middle-income countries

    Open AccessMichelle Weinberger, Nicole Bellows et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    INTRODUCTION: The role of the private sector in family planning (FP) is well studied; however, few efforts have been made to quantify the role of private out-of-pocket (OOP) expenditures on FP commodities across low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs). Calculating OOP expenditures is important to illuminate the magnitude of these contributions and to inform discussions on how financial burdens can be reduced. METHODS: Estimates of FP users and co…

  • Potential effects of disruption to HIV programmes in sub-Saharan Africa caused by Covid-19

    Open AccessBritta L Jewell, Edinah Mudimu et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet HIV2020

    BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic could lead to disruptions to provision of HIV services for people living with HIV and those at risk of acquiring HIV in sub-Saharan Africa, where UNAIDS estimated that more than two-thirds of the approximately 38 million people living with HIV resided in 2018. We aimed to predict the potential effects of such disruptions on HIV-related deaths and new infections in sub-Saharan Africa. METHODS: In this modelling st…

  • Does the political will exist to bring quality-assured and affordable drugs to low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessE J Beck, Sundhiya Mandalia et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2019

    BACKGROUND: Increased coverage with antiretroviral therapy for people living with HIV in low- and middle-income countries has increased their life expectancy associated with non-HIV comorbidities and the need for quality-assured and affordable non-communicable diseases drugs . Funders are leaving many middle-income countries that will have to pay and provide quality-assured and affordable HIV and non-HIV drugs, including for non-communicable dise…

  • Demographic change and HIV epidemic projections to 2050 for adolescents and young people aged 15-24

    Open AccessAleya Khalifa, John Stover et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2019

    While adolescents and young people living with HIV are living longer and ageing into adulthood, if current trends continue, the number of new HIV infections is not projected to decline fast enough to end AIDS as a health threat in this age group. Regional variations suggest that while progress in Eastern and Southern Africa could reduce the size of the epidemic by 2050, other regions exhibit slower rates of decline among adolescents and young peo…

  • Using Evidence to Drive Impact

    Open AccessMichelle Weinberger, Jessica Williamson et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning2019Citada por: 1Referencias: 84

    When designing a family planning (FP) strategy, decision‐makers can choose from a wide range of interventions designed to expand access to and develop demand for FP. However, not all interventions will have the same impact on increasing modern contraceptive prevalence (mCP). Understanding the existing evidence is critical to planning successful and cost‐effective programs. The Impact Matrix is the first comprehensive summary of the impact of a fu…

  • Financing transformative health systems towards achievement of the health Sustainable Development Goals

    Open AccessKristen Stenberg, Karin Stenberg et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Global Health2017

    BACKGROUND: The ambitious development agenda of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires substantial investments across several sectors, including for SDG 3 (healthy lives and wellbeing). No estimates of the additional resources needed to strengthen comprehensive health service delivery towards the attainment of SDG 3 and universal health coverage in low-income and middle-income countries have been published. METHODS: We developed a fram…

  • Producing HIV estimates

    Open AccessMary Mahy, Tim Brown et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2017

    BACKGROUND: The development of global HIV estimates has been critical for understanding, advocating for and funding the HIV response. The process of generating HIV estimates has been cited as the gold standard for public health estimates. OBJECTIVE: This paper provides important lessons from an international scientific collaboration and provides a useful model for those producing public health estimates in other fields. DESIGN: Through the compil…

  • Progress toward the Goals of FP2020

    Open AccessJohn Stover, Emily SonneveldtARTICLEStudies in Family Planning2017Citada por: 4

    At the 2012 London Summit on Family Planning, more than 100 national leaders, donors, NGOs, and civil society and private-sector representatives pledged a renewed commitment to family planning. That initiative, known as FP2020, seeks to revitalize the field of family planning by scaling up efforts to expand knowledge, access, use, and quality of family planning services. The commitment includes increased resources and new approaches for increasin…

  • Modelling the potential impact and cost of scaling-up male circumcision in resource poor settings

    Nazarius Mbona Tumwesigye, Fred Wabwire‐mangen et al.ARTICLEAfrican Journal of AIDS Research2013

    This study modelled estimates of the cost and impact of male circumcision (MC) under different scenarios using the Decision Maker's Program Planning Tool on data from Uganda. Results showed that the number of new adult HIV infections could be reduced by 23 000 if MC could be increased from the current 25% to 80% by 2015. The incidence of HIV could be reduced by 0.2 percentage points over the same period. If a scale up programme is to meet a targe…

  • Linking high parity and maternal and child mortality

    Open AccessEmily Sonneveldt, Willyanne Decormier Plosky et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2013

    This study shows that coverage of key health interventions is lower for high parity children and the pattern is consistent across countries. This could be a partial explanation for the higher mortality rates associated with high parity. Actions to address this gap could help reduce the higher mortality experienced by high parity birth

  • Changes in the distribution of high-risk births associated with changes in contraceptive prevalence

    Open AccessJohn Stover, John A Ro et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2013

    The proportion of second and higher order births with demographic risk factors declines substantially as fertility declines. This creates a potential for reducing child mortality rates. Some of the reduction comes from modifying the birth interval distribution or by bringing maternal age at the time of birth into the 'safe' range of 18-35 years, and some comes from the actual elimination of births that would have a high mortality risk (high parit…

    Roeland Monasch, John Stover et al.ARTICLEVulnerable Children and Youth…2007Citada por: 1

    The orphaned and vulnerable children (OVC) Policy and Planning Effort Index measures the amount of effort put into place by governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and other stakeholders in countries in response to the needs of the increasing numbers of orphans and children made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS. The OVC Index was applied to 36 countries in sub-Saharan Africa in 2004. All countries have some organized effort to respond to the nee…

  • Where Are the Gaps? The Effects of HIV‐prevention Interventions on Behavioral Change

    Open AccessLori Bollinger, Katharine Cooper‐Arnold et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning2004Citada por: 3Referencias: 41

    As more funding becomes available for HIV/AIDS programs in developing countries, an understanding of how prevention interventions lead to behavioral change and how behavioral change leads to reductions in HIV prevalence is crucial. This study presents the results of an extensive effort to develop a matrix to relate coverage of key HIV/AIDS‐prevention services to changes in behavior among different risk groups and to describe the gaps that exist i…
