A Systematic Review of Barriers and Facilitators to the Uptake and Adherence of Injectable PrEP Among Adolescent Girls and Young Women in Sub-Saharan Africa
Open AccessNoah Mancuso, Stacy Endres-Dighe et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2026
Examining pathways by which socioeconomic instability in adolescence influence sexual health during emerging adulthood in an agricultural setting in California
Open AccessMarie C D Stoner, Erica N Browne et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Community…2026Referencias: 76
This study investigates the longitudinal impact of socioeconomic instability on teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection (STI) diagnosis among adolescents and young adults (AYA) living in an agricultural region and examines pathways including supportive family and social structures, decision making autonomy in romantic relationships, health access, mental health and coping behaviors, and perceptions of future opportunities. Data were dra…
Creating “Safer Ground”
Open AccessRania Ali, Rebecca Perry et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025
Our findings highlight that when key elements such as cross-sector collaboration, engaged leadership, and flexible funding align, significant progress can be made in providing housing and integrated medical, behavioral, and social services for PEH with complex needs
Qualitative Results from a Pilot Study of an Automated Directly Observed Therapy Intervention Using Artificial Intelligence with Conditional Economic Incentives among Young Adults with HIV
Open AccessLaura Danielle Wagner, Noah Mancuso et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2025
Jitegemee (rely on yourself)
Open AccessKawango Agot, Jacob Onyango et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024
A savings intervention for and by FSW was highly acceptable and feasible. Involving end-users in the design process is likely to result in greater economic security among FSW and lower engagement in higher risk transactional sex
‘When I have these kits … I have confidence’ – HIV self-testing provides agency for women in their sexual decision-making
Open AccessLucy W Ruderman, Perez Ochwal et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2022
Oral fluid-based HIV self-testing (HIVST) has emerged as a promising approach to increasing HIV testing coverage, particularly among high-risk populations. Understanding the experiences of women using self-tests and offering them to their sexual partners (secondary distribution) is crucial for determining the potential of HIVST. Qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted among 32 women at high risk of HIV infection, including women who engage…
Community-based HIV self-testing
Open AccessEuphemia Sibanda, Melissa Neuman et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021
BACKGROUND: HIV self-testing (HIVST) requires linkage to post-test services to maximise its benefits. We evaluated effect of supply-side incentivisation on linkage following community-based HIVST and evaluated time-trends in facility-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiations. METHODS: From August 2016 to August 2017 community-based distributors (CBDs) in 38 rural Zimbabwean communities distributed HIVST door-to-door in 19-25 day campaigns. C…
Efficiency in PrEP Delivery
Open AccessCollin Mangenah, Definate Nhamo et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2021
Although oral PrEP is highly effective at preventing HIV acquisition, optimizing continuation among beneficiaries is challenging in many settings. We estimated the costs of delivering oral PrEP to populations at risk of HIV in seven clinics in Zimbabwe. Full annual economic costs of oral PrEP initiations and continuation visits were estimated from the providers' perspective for a six-clinic NGO network and one government SGBV clinic in Zimbabwe (…
Changes Over Time in HIV Prevalence and Sexual Behaviour Among Young Female Sex-Workers in 14 Sites in Zimbabwe, 2013–2016
Open AccessSungai T Chabata, B Hensen et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2019
Young female sex-workers (FSW) aged 18-24 are at high risk of HIV due to high numbers of sexual partners, difficulty negotiating condom use, increased risk of gender-based violence, and limited access to services. Here we describe changes in sexual behaviours among young FSW across Zimbabwe between 2013 and 2016, and risk factors for prevalent HIV in 2013 and 2016. FSW ≥ 18 years were recruited using respondent-driven sampling in 14 sites across …
Enhancing national prevention and treatment services for sex workers in Zimbabwe
Open AccessJoanna Busza, Tarisai Chiyaka et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2019Referencias: 57
Targeted HIV interventions for female sex workers (FSW) combine biomedical technologies, behavioural change and community mobilization with the aim of empowering FSW and improving prevention and treatment. Understanding how to deliver combined interventions most effectively in sub-Saharan Africa is critical to the HIV response. The Sisters’ Antiretroviral Programme for Prevention of HIV: an Integrated Response (SAPPH-Ire) randomized controlled tr…
HIV infection among children and adolescents in Burundi, Cameroon, and the Democratic Republic of Congo
Sue Napierala, Sue Napierala Mavedzenge et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2017
Evidence demonstrates a substantial HIV epidemic among children and adolescents in countries with long-standing generalized HIV epidemics, where availability of prevention of mother-to-child transmission services has historically been limited. The objective of this research was to explore factors associated with antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation and morbidity among HIV-infected surviving children 2-17 years of age attending HIV programs in …
Promoting Partner Testing and Couples Testing through Secondary Distribution of HIV Self-Tests
Open AccessStanley H Master, Kawango Agot et al.ARTICLEPLoS Medicine2016
BACKGROUND: Achieving higher rates of partner HIV testing and couples testing among pregnant and postpartum women in sub-Saharan Africa is essential for the success of combination HIV prevention, including the prevention of mother-to-child transmission. We aimed to determine whether providing multiple HIV self-tests to pregnant and postpartum women for secondary distribution is more effective at promoting partner testing and couples testing than …

Open AccessHarsha Thirumurthy, Stanley H Master et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet HIV2016
Modelling the Potential Population Impact and Cost-Effectiveness of Self-Testing for HIV
Open AccessValentina Cambiano, Sue Napierala et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2014
HIV testing uptake has increased dramatically in recent years in resource limited settings. Nevertheless, over 50% of the people living with HIV are still unaware of their status. HIV self-testing (HIVST) is a potential new approach to facilitate further uptake of testing which requires consideration, taking into account economic factors. Mathematical models and associated economic analysis can provide useful assistance in decision-making process…
Provider Counseling to Young Women Seeking Family Planning Services
Open AccessAlexandra M Minnis, Sue Napierala et al.ARTICLEPerspectives on Sexual and…2014Citada por: 3Referencias: 4
High-quality strategies used by providers to guide contraceptive decision making were tailored to adolescents' developmental and environmental needs. Several areas of counseling require increased attention and seem vital to providing comprehensive reproductive health care to adolescents
The sexual behaviour of adolescents in sub‐Saharan Africa
Open AccessAoife M Doyle, Sue Napierala et al.ARTICLETropical Medicine & International…2012
Objectives To describe the sexual and reproductive behaviour of adolescents in sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly 15‐ to 19‐year‐olds. Methods Using DHS/AIS data (2000–2010), nine indicators of adolescent behaviour and one of adult attitudes towards condom education for adolescents were described for 24 countries. Indicators were disaggregated by gender, urban/rural residency and educational status, and time trends were described. Results Up to 25%…
Preference Between Precoital and Daily Use of Duet® and BufferGel in Zimbabwe

The Uptake and Accuracy of Oral Kits for HIV Self-Testing in High HIV Prevalence Setting
Open AccessAugustine Choko, Augustine Talumba Choko et al.ARTICLEPLoS Medicine2011
BACKGROUND: Although HIV testing and counseling (HTC) uptake has increased dramatically in Africa, facility-based services are unlikely to ever meet ongoing need to the full. A major constraint in scaling up community and home-based HTC services is the unacceptability of receiving HTC from a provider known personally to prospective clients. We investigated the potential of supervised oral HIV self-testing from this perspective. METHODS AND FINDIN…
