  • Determinants of HIV interruption in treatment in Murang’a County, Kenya

    Open AccessMoses Muriithi Njiru, Samson Ndege et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2026

    Globally, approximately one-in-four people living with HIV (PLHIV) experiences interruption in treatment (IIT), risking viral rebound, transmission, morbidity, and mortality. Murang’a County reported 82% viral suppression coverage, below Kenya’s 94%. This study assessed IIT magnitude and determinants using sequential-explanatory mixed methods across nine high-volume facilities (Jan 2023–Jun 2024). PLHIV missing clinical appointments by >30 days w…

  • Self-reported and Point-of-Care Biomarkers of Substance Use Measures Among Older Adults with HIV from Low- and Middle-Income Countries

    Open AccessKathryn E Lancaster, Melissa A Stockton et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2026

    Measuring alcohol and other drug (AOD) use remains challenging in HIV care in low- and middle-income countries, where self-report and point-of-care (POC) urine biomarkers capture different time windows. Among 2,059 people with HIV aged 40 years or older across eight IeDEA clinics (2020 to 2022), we examined what self-reported AOD use (AUDIT, ASSIST) and POC urine tests (uEtG for alcohol; 5-panel drug screen) each capture. Self-report identified m…

    Open AccessRemo Schmutz, Nicolas Banholzer et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    INTRODUCTION: Towards the 'End TB Strategy' targets, the WHO recommends the provision of tuberculosis (TB) preventive therapy (TPT) for high-risk groups including people living with HIV (PLWH). 3 years after the release of the updated 2020 WHO guidelines, we investigated the implementation of TPT services at HIV clinics in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), focusing on TB screening, populations eligible for TPT and available TPT regi…

  • The long-term impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on tuberculosis care and infection control measures in anti-retroviral therapy (ART) clinics in low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessMarie Ballif, Nicolas Banholzer et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic challenged healthcare systems, particularly in settings with high infectious disease burden. We examined the postpandemic long-term impacts of COVID-19 on tuberculosis (TB) services at anti-retroviral therapy (ART) clinics in lower-income countries. METHODS: Using standardised online questionnaires, we conducted a cross-sectional site survey among ART clinics providing TB services in Africa and Asia from July to …

  • Effects of Alcohol Use on Patient Retention in HIV Care in East Africa

    Open AccessAlexa Monroy, Suzanne Goodrich et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2024

    We sought to investigate the association between hazardous alcohol use and gaps in care for people living with HIV over a long-term follow-up period. Adults who had participated in our previously published Phase I study of hazardous alcohol use at HIV programs in Kenya and Uganda were eligible at their 42 to 48 month follow-up visit. Those who re-enrolled were followed for an additional ~ 12 months. Hazardous alcohol use behavior was measured usi…

  • Effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on late postpartum women living with HIV in Kenya

    Open AccessJohn Humphrey, Marsha Alera et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Although an estimated 1.4 million women living with HIV (WHIV) are pregnant each year globally, data describing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on postpartum women in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are limited. To address this gap, we conducted phone surveys among 170 WHIV ≥18 years and 18–24 months postpartum enrolled in HIV care at the Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare in western Kenya, and assessed the effects of the…
