  • Monitoring Covid-19 occurrence in a resource-limited setting – Covid-19 sentinel surveillance in Malawi

    Open AccessGodwin Ulaya, Alinune N Kabaghe et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    The routine COVID-19 surveillance in Malawi that relied on retrospective reporting could not efficiently steer timely measures to the rapidly evolving pandemic. To monitor real-time changes in infections and inform the COVID-19 response, we implemented an active sentinel surveillance system from July to December 2022. Symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with SARS-CoV-2 in selected health facilities (HFs) and anyone aged ≥5 years entering at Poi…

  • Age-disparate and intergenerational sex partnerships and HIV

    Open AccessDomonique M Reed, Domonique Reed et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    In this Malawi general population survey, age-mixing partnerships were associated with increased odds of HIV among AGYW. These findings highlight inequitable gender norms as a potential focus for HIV prevention and could inform interventions targeting structural, cultural, and social constraints of this key group

  • Excess mortality associated with HIV

    Open AccessShannon Farley, Shannon M Farley et al.ARTICLEDemographic Research2024Referencias: 21

    BACKGROUND: Incomplete vital statistics systems in resource-limited countries hinder accurate HIV epidemic assessments. Population-based survey data combined with HIV infection biomarkers may partially address this gap, providing excess mortality estimates in households where people living with HIV (PLWH) reside. OBJECTIVE: Examine household-level excess HIV mortality in households with PLWH using population-based survey data, including mortality…

  • Prevalence of and factors associated with late diagnosis of HIV in Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe

    Open AccessAndreas D Haas, Elizabeth Radin et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Introduction Late diagnosis of HIV (LD) increases the risk of morbidity, mortality, and HIV transmission. We used nationally representative data from population-based HIV impact assessment (PHIA) surveys in Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe (2015–2016) to characterize adults at risk of LD and to examine associations between LD and presumed HIV transmission to cohabiting sexual partners. Methods We estimated the prevalence of LD, defined as CD4 count R…

  • Negotiating multiple barriers

    Ireen Namakhoma, Grace Bongololo et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2010

    Malawi is facing a severe HIV and AIDS epidemic with an estimated 12% of its population living with the virus. Health workers are on the front lines of the HIV epidemic and they face the risk of HIV infection in both their personal and professional lives. This mixed method study aimed to explore the enablers and barriers to HIV counselling and testing and antiretroviral therapy by health workers in Malawi. After qualitative data were collected th…

  • The Malawi National Tuberculosis Programme

    Open AccessBertha Nhlema Simwaka, George Bello et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2007

    The Programme of Work which is being delivered through the SWAp is a good opportunity to enhance equity and pro-poor health services. The major challenge is to increase case detection, especially amongst the poor, where we assume most 'missing cases' are to be found. In addition, the Programme needs a prevalence survey which will enable thorough equity monitoring and the development of responsive interventions to promote service access amongst 'm…
