Effect of peer-mother interactive programme on prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission outcomes among pregnant women on anti-retroviral treatment in routine healthcare in Dar es Salaam, Tanzani…
Peer support services are increasingly being integrated in programmes for the prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission (PMTCT). We aimed to evaluate the effect of a peer-mother interactive programme on PMTCT outcomes among pregnant women on anti-retroviral treatment (ART) in routine healthcare in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Twenty-three health facilities were cluster-randomized to a peer-mother intervention and 24 to a control arm. We trained …
Cost variations in prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission services integrated within maternal and child health services in rural Tanzania
We estimated the costs of Option B+ for HIV-infected pregnant women in 12 facilities in Morogoro Region, Tanzania, from a provider perspective. Costs of prevention of mother-to-child (PMTCT) HIV services were measured over 12 months to September 2017 to estimate the average costs per HIV testing episode, per HIV-positive case diagnosed, per patient-year on antiretroviral therapy (ART), and per neonatal HIV care. A one-way sensitivity analysis was…
Implications of HIV treatment policies on the health workforce in rural Malawi and Tanzania between 2013 and 2017
Effective implementation of policies for expanding antiretroviral therapy (ART) requires a well-trained and adequately staffed workforce. Changes in national HIV workforce policies, health facility practices, and provider experiences were examined in rural Malawi and Tanzania between 2013 and 2017. In both countries, task-shifting and task-sharing policies were explicit by 2013. In facilities, the cadre mix of providers varied by site and changed…
Implementation and experiences of integrated prevention of mother-to-child transmission services in Tanzania, Malawi and South Africa
Although integration of HIV and maternal health services is recommended by the World Health Organization, evidence to guide implementation is limited. We describe facility-level implementation of policies for integrating HIV care within maternal health services and explore experiences of service users and providers in rural Tanzania (Ifakara), South Africa (uMkhanyakude) and Malawi (Karonga). Policy in all countries included HIV testing during an…
Influence of evolving HIV treatment guidance on CD4 counts and viral load monitoring
Little is known about how CD4 and viral load testing have evolved following implementation of universal test and treat (UTT) in African settings. We reviewed World Health Organization (WHO) guidance from 2013 to 2018, and compared it against national HIV policies in Malawi, Tanzania and South Africa. Three surveys rounds were conducted in 2013, 2016 and 2017-2018 in 33 health facilities across the three settings to assess implementation of nation…
Challenges with routine data sources for PMTCT programme monitoring in East Africa
Routinely collected clinic data have the potential to provide much needed information on the uptake of services to prevent mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV, and to measure HIV prevalence in pregnant women. This article describes the methodological challenges associated with using such data, based on the experiences of researchers and programme implementers in Tanzania and drawing from other examples from East Africa. PMTCT data are rou…
