  • 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…

  • Tanzania’s first Marburg Viral Disease outbreak response

    Open AccessAlly Hussein, Rogath Kishimba et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Viral Haemorrhagic Fever Outbreak presents a significant public health threat, requiring a timely, robust, and well-coordinated response. This paper aims to describe the roles of the Tanzania Field Epidemiology and Laboratory Training Program (TFELTP) graduates and residents in responding to Tanzania’s first Marburg Viral Disease (MVD) outbreak. We performed a secondary data analysis using a range of documents, such as rosters of deployed respond…

  • Social network strategy (SNS) for HIV testing

    Open AccessOscar Ernest Rwabiyago, Allen Katale et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2024

    Social network strategy (SNS) testing uses network connections to refer individuals at high risk to HIV testing services (HTS). In Tanzania, SNS testing is offered in communities and health facilities. In communities, SNS testing targets key and vulnerable populations (KVP), while in health facilities it complements index testing by reaching unelicited index contacts. Routine data were used to assess performance and trends over time in PEPFAR-sup…

  • HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B virus infection and male circumcision in five Sub-Saharan African countries

    Open AccessMegan E Peck, Megan Bronson et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) has primarily been promoted for HIV prevention. Evidence also supports that male circumcision offers protection against other sexually transmitted infections. This analysis assessed the effect of circumcision on syphilis, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and HIV. Data from the 2015 to 2019 Population-based HIV Impact Assessments (PHIAs) surveys from Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe were us…

  • HIV mortality in urban slums of Nairobi, Kenya 2003–2010

    Open AccessSamuel Oti, Samuel Oji Oti et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2013

    Population-level HIV mortality in Nairobi's slums was significantly lower in the approximate period coinciding with the scale-up of ART provision in Kenya. However, further studies that incorporate ART coverage data in mortality estimates are needed. Such information will enhance our understanding of the full impact of ART scale-up in reducing adult mortality among marginalized slum populations in Kenya

  • Determinants for HIV testing and counselling in Nairobi urban informal settlements

    Open AccessAbdhalah Ziraba, Nyovani J Madise et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    Although the proportion of individuals ever tested in the informal settlements is similar to the national average, it remains low compared to that of Nairobi province especially among men. Key determinants of HIV testing and counselling include; gender, age, education level, HIV status and marital status. These factors need to be considered in efforts aimed at increasing participation in HIV testing
