Understanding the Influence of PrEP Motivations and Concerns on PrEP Use Among Pregnant Women in Lilongwe, Malawi
Understanding PrEP misconceptions and their impact on PrEP initiation and use among pregnant and lactating women in Malawi
Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV remains a challenge in Eastern and Southern Africa. Oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a powerful tool to reduce MTCT, but women face barriers to effective use including those related to inaccurate comprehension of PrEP To understand women’s misconceptions about PrEP and their potential impact on PrEP use, we conducted interviews with 33 pregnant and lactating women in Malawi using PrEP, and ten PrE…

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
Facility-based care for moderately low birthweight infants in India, Malawi, and Tanzania
Globally, increasing rates of facility-based childbirth enable early intervention for small vulnerable newborns. We describe health system-level inputs, current feeding, and discharge practices for moderately low birthweight (MLBW) infants (1500- 10% less than their birthweight; 18.8% of infants were discharged with weights below facility-specific policy [1800g in India, 1500g in Malawi, and 2000g in Tanzania]. Based on descriptive analysis, we f…
Safe infant feeding in healthcare facilities
Infants need to receive care in environments that limit their exposure to pathogens. Inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) environments and suboptimal infection prevention and control practices in healthcare settings contribute to the burden of healthcare-associated infections, which are particularly high in low-income settings. Specific research is needed to understand infant feeding preparation in healthcare settings, a task involvin…
Changes in moderately low birthweight infant feeding, care, and health outcomes before compared to during the Covid-19 pandemic in Malawi
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the measures taken to minimise its spread have significantly impacted mother- and infant-related healthcare. We describe the changes in newborn feeding, lactation support, and growth outcomes before compared to during the COVID-19 pandemic among moderately low birthweight infants (LBW) (1.5 to <2.5kg) in Malawi. Methods: The data presented here are part of the Low Birthweight Infant Feeding …
Acceptability of a Combination Adherence Strategy to Support HIV Antiretroviral Therapy and Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Adherence During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding in Malawi
Role of male partner involvement in ART retention and adherence in Malawi’s Option B+ program
Malawi's Option B+ program provides all HIV-infected pregnant women free lifelong antiretroviral therapy (ART), but challenges remain regarding retention and ART adherence, potentially due to male partner barriers. We explored relationships between male partner involvement and Option B+ retention and adherence. In 2014, a randomized controlled trial in Malawi compared male recruitment strategies for couple HIV testing and counseling (cHTC) at an …
We have heard it together”
Encouraging HIV-infected pregnant women to recruit male partners for couple HIV testing and counselling (CHTC) is promoted by the World Health Organization, but remains challenging. Formal strategies for recruiting the male partners of pregnant women have not been explored within an Option B+ programme. Our objective was to learn about experiences surrounding CHTC recruitment within a formal CHTC recruitment study. A randomised controlled trial c…
