Improving HIV assisted partner services outcomes by eliciting additional partners after the initial encounter
Most assisted partner services (APS) programs elicit partners at the time of HIV diagnosis when index clients may be reluctant to name all partners. Little is known about the benefits of ongoing partner elicitation after the initial visit. We utilized data collected in an APS implementation study across 31 facilities in western Kenya from August 2019 to June 2022. HIV testing service providers offered APS to consenting female index clients and as…
“We only trust each other”
In Kenya, overdose remains a major public health concern with approximately 40% of persons who inject drugs (PWID) reporting personal overdoses. PWID living with HIV (PWID-LH) are particularly vulnerable to experiencing fatal and non-fatal overdoses because of the surrounding physical, social, economic, and political environments, which are not fully understood in Kenya. Through qualitative inquiry, this study characterizes Kenya’s overdose risk …
Tackling syndemics by integrating infectious and noncommunicable diseases in health systems of low- and middle-income countries
The co-occurrence of infectious diseases (ID) and non-communicable diseases (NCD) is widespread, presenting health service delivery challenges especially in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). Integrated health care is a possible solution but may require a paradigm shift to be successfully implemented. This literature review identifies integrated care examples among selected ID and NCD dyads. We searched PubMed, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, C…
Uptake and acceptability of oral HIV self-testing in the context of assisted partner services in Western Kenya
Integrating HIV self-testing (HIVST) into assisted partner services (APS) has potential to increase identification of people with HIV in the community, but little is known about acceptability of HIVST among partners traced via APS. We assessed characteristics of APS partners testing with HIVST, and factors influencing HIVST uptake and acceptability in a cluster-randomized control trial on APS+HIVST. Using convergent parallel mixed-methods design,…
Lifting all boats
Inequities in global health research are well documented. For example, training opportunities for US investigators to conduct research in low-income and middle-income countries (LMIC) have exceeded opportunities for LMIC investigators to train and conduct research in high-income countries. Reciprocal innovation addresses these inequities through collaborative research across diverse global settings. The Fogarty International Center of the US Nati…
“I feel good because I have saved their lives”
Introduction Assisted partner services (APS), or notification for sexual partners of people diagnosed with HIV, is an efficient, effective, and high yield strategy to identify people living with HIV and is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). However, there remains a need to further understand the acceptability of APS qualitatively from a client lens, particularly when APS is integrated into the national health system. We investiga…
Integration of assisted partner services within Kenya’s national HIV testing services program
Assisted partner service (aPS) augments HIV case-finding among sex partners to individuals newly diagnosed with HIV. In 2016, aPS was incorporated into the national HIV testing services (HTS) program in Kenya. We evaluated the extent of, barriers to, and facilitators of aPS integration into HTS. We conducted semi-structured in-depth interviews (IDIs) with 32 stakeholders selected using purposive sampling at national, county, facility, and communi…
“They have given you the morale and confidence
Community-based delivery of oral HIV self-testing (HIVST) may expand access to testing among adolescents and young adults (AYA). Eliciting youth perspectives can help to optimize these services. We conducted nine focus group discussions (FGDs) with HIV negative AYA aged 15-24 who had completed oral HIVST following community-based distribution through homes, pharmacies, and bars. FGDs were stratified by distribution point and age (15-17, 18-24). P…
Alcohol use among people who inject drugs living with HIV in Kenya is associated with needle sharing, more new sex partners, and lower engagement in HIV care
High Acceptance and Completion of HIV Self-testing Among Diverse Populations of Young People in Kenya Using a Community-Based Distribution Strategy
Training health care providers to provide PrEP for HIV serodiscordant couples attending public health facilities in Kenya
To catalyse national scale up of PrEP for HIV serodiscordant couples in public health facilities in Kenya, the Partners Scale-Up Project, using a two-day case-based interactive curriculum, trained health care providers working in 24 high volume facilities in central and western Kenya on PrEP service delivery. Using a standardised test with questions about PrEP and antiretroviral-based HIV prevention we assessed gain in knowledge and confidence ga…
