“They are starting from ten steps back”
Community-based HIV testing can identify high-risk adolescents and young adults living with HIV (AYALH), but data on long-term outcomes of AYALH identified via community-based testing is limited. We compared outcomes among AYALH 15–24 years identified in community-based campaigns to those who self-presented to an HIV clinic in Haiti. We measured retention 12-months after antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation and factors associated with retentio…

Self-Efficacy and One-Year HIV Outcomes for Hospitalized People with HIV in Tanzania
Examining the causal pathways through which the Daraja intervention led to sustained improvement in HIV outcomes, including retention in HIV care, ART adherence, and viral load suppression, could highlight critical mechanisms for improving post-hospital outcomes in people with HIV. This pre-specified analysis of the Daraja trial assessed five mediators identified from the Gelberg-Andersen model (self-efficacy, social support, perceived need for H…
Fanmi (“My Family”)
Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) are the epicenter of the global HIV epidemic. The FANMI trial is an unblinded randomized-controlled trial which evaluated the effectiveness of a community-based model of cohort HIV care vs. standard clinic-based care among AGYW living with HIV in Haiti. Participants ages 16-24 years were randomized 1:1 to FANMI vs. standard care. In the FANMI intervention, cohorts of 5-10 participants attended monthly sessi…
Intersecting social-ecological vulnerabilities to and lived experiences of sexually transmitted infections among Syrian refugee women in Lebanon
Conflict-affected women and girls living in protracted forced displacement settings are vulnerable to sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Yet, little is known about the risk factors for and lived experiences of STIs in complex humanitarian settings, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa, where STIs have long been understudied. This qualitative study adapts the social ecological model to characterize the multi-level risks for and li…
“Mobilizing our leaders”
Introduction: Women play an essential role in health care delivery, and it is vital that they have equal representation in health leadership for equity, innovation, and the strengthening of health systems globally. Yet women remain vastly underrepresented in global health leadership positions, providing a clear example of the deeply rooted power imbalances that are central to the calls to decolonize global health. We conducted a multi-country stu…
High prevalence of obesity among women in urban Haiti
Introduction Obesity is associated with increased risk of non-communicable diseases and death and is increasing rapidly in low- and middle-income countries, including Haiti. There is limited population-based data on body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) and associated risk factors in Haiti. This study describes BMI and WC, and factors associated with obesity using a population-based cohort from Port-au-Prince. Methods Baseline sociod…
Point-of-care viral load testing among adolescents and young adults living with HIV in Haiti
HIV viral load (VL) monitoring can reinforce antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence. Standard VL testing requires high laboratory capacity and coordination between clinic and laboratory which can delay results. A randomized trial comparing point-of-care (POC) VL testing to standard VL testing among 150 adolescents and young adults, ages 10-24 years, living with HIV in Haiti determined if POC VL testing could return faster results and improve ART …
The Haiti cardiovascular disease cohort
The Haiti CVD Cohort is the largest population-based cohort study evaluating CVD risk factors and CVD among adults in urban Haiti with the goal of understanding the drivers of the CVD epidemic in Haiti. Study outcomes are comparable with existing international cohorts, and the biobank will provide important data for future research. Our goal is to translate findings from this study into pragmatic prevention and treatment interventions to fight th…
The Fanmi (“my Family” in Creole) study to evaluate community-based cohort care for adolescent and young women living with HIV in Haiti

High Burden of Non-communicable Diseases among a Young Slum Population in Haiti
Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in Port-au-Prince, Haiti
This study shows an MDR-TB prevalence of 2.9% in newly diagnosed TB patients in Haiti and suggests that rpoB sequencing and hybridization assays are good screening tools for early detection of MDR-TB
Ten Questions Institutional Review Boards Should Ask When Reviewing International Clinical Research Protocols

Decreased Congenital Syphilis Incidence in Haiti’s Rural Artibonite Region Following Decentralized Prenatal Screening
Congenital syphilis can be prevented by testing pregnant women with a serological test developed by Wassermann in 1906 and by treating seropositive women with penicillin, discovered by Fleming in 1928.1,2 Unfortunately, more than 70 years later, congenital syphilis is still a leading cause of perinatal death in many developing countries.3–11 Before 1996, syphilis screening for pregnant women in Haiti’s Artibonite region was done by drawing blood …
