  • HIV risk behaviour, viraemia, and transmission across HIV cascade stages including low-level viremia

    Open AccessOlanrewaju Edun, Lucy Okell et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    As antiretroviral treatment (ART) coverage for people living with HIV (PLHIV) increases, HIV programmes require up-to-date information about evolving HIV risk behaviour and transmission risk, including those with low-level viremia (LLV; >50 to ≤1000 copies/mL), to guide prevention priorities. We aimed to assess differences in sexual risk behaviours, distribution of viral load (VL) and proportion of transmission across PLHIV subgroups. We analysed…

  • Regional and temporal variations in Covid-19 cases and deaths in Ethiopia

    Open AccessGizaw Teka, Adane Woldeab et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Background The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most devastating public health emergencies of international concern to have occurred in the past century. To ensure a safe, scalable, and sustainable response, it is imperative to understand the burden of disease, epidemiological trends, and responses to activities that have already been implemented. We aimed to analyze how COVID-19 tests, cases, and deaths varied by time and region in the general po…

  • Sars-CoV-2 co-detection with influenza and human respiratory syncytial virus in Ethiopia

    Open AccessWolde Shure, Adamu Tayachew et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    SARS-CoV-2 co-infection with the influenza virus or human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) may complicate its progress and clinical outcomes. However, data on the co-detection of SARS-CoV-2 with other respiratory viruses are limited in Ethiopia and other parts of Africa to inform evidence-based response and decision-making. We analyzed 4,989 patients’ data captured from the national severe acute respiratory illness (SARI) and influenza-like illn…

  • Determinants of sexually transmitted infections among female sex workers in Ethiopia

    Open AccessFeyiso Bati Wariso, Jemal Ayalew et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Background Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) remain a major public health problem worldwide, with the burden of these infections being high among female sex workers (FSWs), who are often not aware of their infection status. This study aimed to determine the factors that are associated with the number of STIs among FSWs in Ethiopia. Methods A cross-sectional bio-behavioral study involving respondent-driven sampling (RDS) was conducted among 6…

  • Prevalence and factors associated with inconsistent condom use among female sex workers in Ethiopia

    Open AccessMuhammed Ahmed Rameto, Saro Abdella et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    Inconsistent condom use among FSWs is prevalent in Ethiopia and is associated with marital status, education status, depression, alcohol drinking, drug use, sexual violence, being raped, lack of knowledge about HIV, practising anal sex, selling sex in different locations, having more than two non-paying sexual partners, working in more than two cities, and lack of access to condom at the workplace. Programme interventions to enhance consistent co…

  • Prevalence of syphilis and associated factors among female sex workers in Ethiopia

    Open AccessJaleta Bulti Tura, Jemal Ayalew et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    The prevalence of syphilis among female sex workers was high. Being divorced/widowed or in the older age group and having a low level of education were significantly associated with an increased risk of syphilis. The high prevalence and associated factors identified need to be considered in planning comprehensive interventions to control syphilis among female sex workers in Ethiopia

  • Characteristics and outcomes of adult Ethiopian patients enrolled in HIV care and treatment

    Open AccessZenebe Melaku, Matthew R Lamb et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    Over time, enrollment in HIV care through outpatient PITC increased and patients enrolled into HIV care at earlier disease stages across all HIV testing points. However, median CD4+ cell count at ART initiation remained steady. Pre- and post-ART attrition (particularly in the first 6 months) have remained major challenges in ensuring prompt ART initiation and retention on ART
