Testing a systematically braided alcohol reduction and HIV status neutral intervention among people receiving STI care in Malawi
Background Heavy alcohol use is common in Malawi among people receiving sexually transmitted infections (STI) care and is a critical barrier to the success of HIV prevention and treatment efforts. Methods This protocol presents a pilot hybrid type 1 effectiveness-implementation trial evaluating the short-term effectiveness and implementation of a scalable evidence-based intervention (EBI) to reduce alcohol use and provide HIV prevention and treat…
Barriers and facilitators to oral pre-exposure prophylaxis uptake among adolescents girls and young women at elevated risk of HIV acquisition in Lilongwe, Malawi
Among the estimated 12,500 new HIV infections in Malawi among people aged 15-24 each year, 70 percent occur in Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW). The Ministry of Health (MoH) in Malawi rolled out an oral Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) prevention program targeting populations at elevated risk of HIV acquisition, including AGYW, in 2021. Since PrEP roll-out, there has been limited research exploring the factors that influence uptake of PrEP …
Geospatial and phylogenetic clustering of acute and recent HIV infections in Lilongwe, Malawi
HIV transmission during early HIV infection impedes efforts to end HIV as a public health threat, as diagnosis typically occurs after this period of elevated transmission risk. To guide diagnosis and prevention strategies, we evaluated the geospatial and phylogenetic clustering of acute and recent HIV infection in Lilongwe, Malawi. We identified people with acute (pre-seroconversion) HIV infection (AHI) and a random sample of people with post-acu…
Acceptability, feasibility and appropriateness of integrating HPV self-sampling for cervical cancer screening into voluntary family planning services in Malawi
Despite being preventable, the cervical cancer burden remains high in Malawi and other low-income countries. The World Health Organization recommends cervical cancer screening (CCS) using human papillomavirus (HPV) testing. The coverage of HPV-based CCS is low but may increase with self-sampling of vaginal fluid. We assessed the acceptability, feasibility and appropriateness of two models for integrating HPV self-sampling for CCS into family plan…
Poor Oral HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Persistence in an Integrated PrEP/STI Program in Malawi
The integration of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) into STI services can improve PrEP uptake among a population at elevated risk of acquiring HIV. The effectiveness of PrEP relies on ongoing coverage during periods of HIV risk, however, and little is known about longitudinal PrEP use among people accessing PrEP through STI clinics in sub-Saharan Africa. In this study, we analyzed routine records data from people who newly initiated PrEP at an…
Barriers and facilitators to implementing six monthly multi-month dispensing of antiretroviral therapy in two urban HIV clinics during the Covid-19 Era in Malawi
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the Malawi Government released a policy that promoted the scale-up of six-monthly multi-month dispensing (6-MMD) of antiretroviral therapy (ART) to people living with HIV in order to decrease congestion at health facilities and transmission of COVID-19. We evaluated the barriers and facilitators to implementing the scale-up of 6-MMD.We conducted a cross-sectional study and collected quantitative and qualitative da…
Discontinuation of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate from initial ART regimens because of renal adverse events
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), a potent and commonly used antiretroviral drug, is associated with renal tubular dysfunction and renal adverse events. We evaluated the frequency of, time to, and baseline risk factors for discontinuing TDF from initial antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens because of renal adverse events from presumed tenofovir renal toxicity. We conducted an observational cohort study as a secondary analysis of data from fou…
Evaluating the impact of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis on pregnancy, infant, and maternal health outcomes in Malawi
NCT06158126. The study was prospectively registered (5 December 2023) in ClinicalTrials.gov
Depression, Alcohol Use, and Sexual Behaviors by HIV Infection Stage and Diagnosis Timing Among STI Clinic Patients in Lilongwe, Malawi
Quality of life among HIV-infected individuals failing first-line antiretroviral therapy in resource-limited settings
We evaluated health-related quality of life (QoL) in HIV infection participants with virologic failure (VF) on first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) in 9 resource-limited settings (RLS). ACTG SF-21 was completed by 512 participants at A5273 study entry; 8 domains assessed: general health perceptions (GHP), physical functioning (PF), role functioning (RF), social functioning (SF), cognitive functioning (CF), pain (P), mental health (MH), and ene…
