  • Patient experiences and preferences for advanced HIV disease testing services

    Open AccessZibusiso Ndlovu, Tania Carmila Tomas et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2026

    The decline in HIV/AIDS deaths has been slower than expected, and advanced HIV disease (AHD) remains common. Despite expanded diagnostic services, patient preferences around AHD testing are understudied. This qualitative study explored the experiences and preferences of people living with HIV and healthcare workers to inform patient-centred approaches. In February 2024, purposive sampling identified people living with HIV who underwent testing at…

  • Task sharing for point-of-care testing

    Open AccessZibusiso Ndlovu, Mariamo Ibraimo Assane et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    World Health Organization recommends task sharing (TS) for point-of-care testing (POCT) with lay health workers (LHW) to improve access when professional capacity is limited. Despite many benefits of POCT, TS remains underutilized. This study examined uptake of TS for POCT in national policies and the implementation landscape in 19 African countries from November 2024 to March 2025. A mixed-methods approach included an online cross-sectional surv…

  • Benefits and challenges of community‐based multi‐month dispensing of antiretroviral treatment in Zimbabwe

    Open AccessStefani Du Toit, Michael Marlow et al.ARTICLEHealth & Social Care in the…2022Referencias: 1

    Sub-Saharan Africa carries the highest burden of HIV, with approximately 70% of all people living with HIV (PLWH) globally living in this region. The provision of antiretroviral treatment (ART) significantly affects already overburdened health systems, which need to accommodate large volumes of ART patients while facing a shortage of professional health workers, infrastructure challenges and medical resources. Finding alternative ways to provide …

  • Outcomes of community-based differentiated models of multi-month dispensing of antiretroviral medication among stable HIV-infected patients in Lesotho

  • Effectiveness of community-based support for pregnant women living with HIV

    Open AccessGeoffrey Fatti, Najma Shaikh et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2016

    Antiretroviral treatment (ART) initiation in HIV-infected pregnant women in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) remains inadequate, and there is a severe shortage of professional healthcare workers in the region. The effectiveness of community support programmes for HIV-infected pregnant women and their infants in SSA is unclear. This study compared initiation of maternal antiretrovirals and infant outcomes amongst HIV-infected pregnant women and their infa…

  • Children and HIV – a hop (hopefully), a skip (lamentably) and a jump (ideally)

  • Improved long-term antiretroviral treatment outcomes amongst patients receiving community-based adherence support in South Africa

    Geoffrey Fatti, Eula Mothibi et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2016

    Retaining high levels of patients in care who are virally suppressed over long treatment periods has been an important challenge for antiretroviral treatment (ART) programmes in sub-Saharan Africa, the region having the highest HIV burden globally. Clinic-linked community-based adherence support (CBAS) programmes provide home-based adherence and psychosocial support for ART patients. However, there is little evidence of their longer-term impact. …

  • Improved virological suppression in children on antiretroviral treatment receiving community-based adherence support

    Geoffrey Fatti, Najma Shaikh et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2014

    Adherence to antiretroviral treatment (ART) is a challenge in childhood, and children on ART have reduced virological suppression compared to adults. This study evaluated the effect of community-based adherence support (CBAS) on virological outcomes amongst children receiving ART in four South African provinces. Patient Advocates are lay CBAS workers who provide adherence and psychosocial support for patients, undertaking home visits to address h…
