  • HIV self-testing implementation, distribution and use among female sex workers in Cotonou, Benin

    Open AccessMarianne Boisvert Moreau, Frédéric Kintin et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    Our study shows a very high level of acceptability for HIVST among FSWs in Cotonou and its surroundings. Results also demonstrate the feasibility of implementing HIVST distribution in Benin. HIVST should be implemented in Benin quickly and free of charge for all individuals at risk of HIV. HIVST offer should be integrated with comprehensive sexual health and prevention services

  • Acceptability of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Benin

    Carin Ahouada, Souleymane Diabaté et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2020

    In Benin, consistent condom use among men who have sex with men (MSM) is relatively low and providing them with Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) could be of great relevance. We aimed to describe PrEP knowledge and intention to use it; identify key facilitators and barriers to PrEP; and describe the perceived impact of PrEP on unsafe sexual behavior. MSM, 18 years or older, HIV-negative or of unknown status, were enrolled in five cities of Benin. I…

    HIV response has entered a new era shaped by evidence that the combination of interventions impacts the trajectory of the epidemic. Even proven interventions, however, can be ineffective if not to scale, appropriately implemented, and with the right combination. Benin is among the pioneering countries that prioritized HIV prevention for sex workers and clients early on. Effective implementation up to 2006 resulted in consistent condom use among s…

  • Acceptability and adherence of a candidate microbicide gel among high-risk women in Africa and India

    Elizabeth Greene, Georges Batona et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2010

    Vaginal microbicides currently under development are substances that may prevent the transmission of HIV. Qualitative, in-depth post-trial interview data from a Phase III clinical trial of 6% Cellulose Sulfate microbicide gel in two sites in Africa (Uganda and Benin) and two in India (Chennai and Bagalkot) were examined in order to better understand factors that influence microbicide acceptability and adherence in a clinical trial setting.
