Factors associated with viral load suppression in pregnant and postpartum women living with HIV in Rwanda
Introduction: Achieving and maintaining HIV viral load suppression (VLS) in pregnant and postpartum women living with HIV (WLWH) is critical for their health and to prevent mother-to-child transmission. However, data on VLS in this population are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and factors associated with VLS among pregnant and postpartum WLWH in Rwanda within 12 months of enrolling in antenatal care. Methods: An open observa…
Attrition from Care and Barriers to PrEP Use Among Key Populations in Kinshasa, DRC
Female sex workers (FSW) and gay and other men who have sex with men (MSM) are disproportionately affected by HIV. Oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is increasingly available in African countries, including the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), but data on factors influencing PrEP use remain limited. This multiple methods study examined PrEP attrition patterns and barriers to engagement among FSW and MSM in Kinshasa, DRC, using programmatic …
Awareness and willingness to use pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV prevention among men who have sex with men in Rwanda
Introduction: Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is a daily pill aimed at reducing HIV transmission risk when taken as prescribed. It's highly recommended for high-risk Men who have sex with Men (MSM). This study aimed to assess PrEP awareness and willingness to use it among Rwandan MSM, a critical aspect given PrEP's proven effectiveness. The findings are expected to inform policy decisions and further advance the implementation of PrEP strategies.…
Repeated Measures Regression in Laboratory, Clinical and Environmental Research
When using repeated measures linear regression models to make causal inference in laboratory, clinical and environmental research, it is typically assumed that the within-subject association of differences (or changes) in predictor variable values across replicates is the same as the between-subject association of differences in those predictor variable values. However, this is often false. For example, with body weight as the predictor variable …
Frequent Occurrence of Pain and Prescription Opioid Use for Treatment of Pain Among Women with and at Risk for HIV Infection
Sexual Behavior and Risk Practices of HIV Positive and HIV Negative Rwandan Women
Microfinance Safety Net
Malnutrition among families living in poorer communities has increased in the past two decades. Initiatives advocated by the World Bank include microfinance programs. Research attributing the success of these programs however, has mixed results. In this article we investigate how additional income provided by microfinance is associated with increased consumption of nondurables for households in rural villages in Bangladesh. For our purposes we co…

The impact of HIV status, HIV disease progression, and post-traumatic stress symptoms on the health-related quality of life of Rwandan women genocide survivors
Staphylococcus aureus Colonization and Infection Among Drug Users
Objectives. We combined social-network analysis and molecular epidemiology to investigate Staphylococcus aureus among drug users. Methods. From 2003 through 2005, we recruited adult drug users in Brooklyn, New York. Of 501 individuals recruited, 485 participated. Participants were screened for HIV infection and S. aureus carriage, and they answered a questionnaire assessing risk factors for S. aureus. Participants were asked to nominate up to 10 …
Audio-computer interviewing to measure risk behaviour for HIV among injecting drug users
HIV risk behaviours of current sex workers attending syringe exchange
Existing research indicates that sex workers who inject drugs are vulnerable to HIV infection through both risky sexual and drug use practices. This study is the first attempt to learn whether this increased risk persists among current sex workers who participate in syringe exchange programmes (SEPs). With data from interviews with randomly selected participants in five US cities, we compared the demographic characteristics, sexual risk behaviour…
Syringe exchange in the United States, 1996
OBJECTIVES: This paper provides 1996 information on the status of US syringe exchange programs and compares these findings with data from our 1994 survey. METHODS: In November 1996, questionnaires were mailed to 101 syringe exchange programs. Program directors were contacted to conduct telephone interviews based on the mailed questionnaires. Data collected included number of syringes exchanged, syringe exchange program operations, legal status, a…
HIV incidence among injecting drug users in New York City syringe-exchange programmes
BACKGROUND: There have been no studies showing that participation in programmes which provide legal access to drug-injection equipment leads to individual-level protection against incident HIV infection. We have compared HIV incidence among injecting drug users participating in syringe-exchange programmes in New York City with that among non-participants. METHODS: We used meta-analytic techniques to combine HIV incidence data from injecting drug …
Reducing risk-taking behavior among vulnerable youth
The present study evaluated the effects of an interactive puppet program aimed at reducing the incidence of violence and drug abuse in a sample of 290 African-American youths. Ethnically representative puppets presented skits on problem situations that reflected the everyday realities of study youth. One condition viewed puppet skits and toured exhibits that reinforced the learning from skits; a second condition viewed skits only; and the third c…
