The impact of US Government Stop Work Order on HIV epidemic trajectory in Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe is highly dependent on United States Government (USG) funding for the HIV Response, where 42% of the HIV expenditures in 2020 were financed by the USG and in 2023, PEPFAR invested more than $200 million to support HIV programmes. In late January 2025, the USG issued a “Stop Work Order,” suspending funding for international aid and development during a 90-day review period and this was expected to have a significant negative impact on the…
Perceptions of pre-exposure prophylaxis among sexually active adolescent girls and young women in Zimbabwe–A qualitative study
Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW; aged 15–24 years) in Zimbabwe face high risk of contracting HIV. Despite proven effectiveness of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), its uptake and continuation among AGYW is low. We aimed to explore views on PrEP, norms around sexual behaviour and how programs can improve PrEP uptake among this group. From December 2021 to March 2023 nine focus group discussions were held with 92 (8–12 per group) sexually act…
HIV incidence and prevalence projections for Zimbabwe
Introduction : Understanding how HIV epidemics are likely to behave in the future is key to informing HIV response strategies in low-income countries. Up-to-date HIV epidemiological estimates are important for policy decision- making, but surveillance data can be out of date. This study compared forecasts from HIV epidemiological models. Methods : Five independent modelling groups (EMOD-HIV, Goals, HIV Synthesis, Optima and PopART-IBM) calibrated…
Economic implications of Covid-19 for the HIV epidemic and the response in Zimbabwe
Understanding the economic implications of COVID-19 for the HIV epidemic and response is critical for designing policies and strategies to effectively sustain past gains and accelerate progress to end these colliding pandemics. While considerable cross-national empirical evidence exists at the global level, there is a paucity of such deep-dive evidence at national level. This article addresses this gap. While Zimbabwe experienced fewer COVID-19 c…
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on people living with HIV in Zimbabwe
The COVID-19 pandemic was reported from March 2020 in Zimbabwe. COVID-19 containment measures which included repeated lockdowns have disrupted community interactions, reduced working hours, restricted travel and restricted HIV services for people living with HIV (PLHIV), among others. The study adopted a cross-sectional design. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected in all the 10 provinces and analysed. A sample size of 480 was cal…
Potential effects of disruption to HIV programmes in sub-Saharan Africa caused by Covid-19
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic could lead to disruptions to provision of HIV services for people living with HIV and those at risk of acquiring HIV in sub-Saharan Africa, where UNAIDS estimated that more than two-thirds of the approximately 38 million people living with HIV resided in 2018. We aimed to predict the potential effects of such disruptions on HIV-related deaths and new infections in sub-Saharan Africa. METHODS: In this modelling st…
