  • The role of high-risk geographies in the perpetuation of the HIV epidemic in rural South Africa

    Open AccessDiego F Cuadros, Tulio de Oliveira et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    In this study, we hypothesize that HIV geographical clusters (geospatial areas with significantly higher numbers of HIV positive individuals) can behave as the highly connected nodes in the transmission network. Using data come from one of the most comprehensive demographic surveillance systems in Africa, we found that more than 70% of the HIV transmission links identified were directly connected to an HIV geographical cluster located in a peri-u…

  • High incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in an indigenous Saharia tribe in Madhya Pradesh, central India—A prospective cohort study

    Open AccessJyothi Bhat, Rajiv Yadav et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Background Lack of TB incidence data is an important evidence gap among Saharia–a high TB burden indigenous community in Madhya Pradesh, central India. The present study was undertaken to calculate the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in this tribe. Objective To calculate the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) among the Saharia tribal population in Madhya Pradesh, central India. Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted among the…

  • Missed opportunities for earlier diagnosis of HIV infection in people living with HIV in Thailand

    Open AccessAngsana Phuphuakrat, Kanitin Khamnurak et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    HIV testing is the first step to making people living with HIV (PLHIV) aware of their status. Thailand is among the countries where antiretroviral therapy is initiated in PLHIV at the lowest CD4 cell counts. We aimed to quantify and characterize missed opportunity (MO) for earlier diagnosis of HIV infection in PLHIV in Thailand. The medical records of adults who were newly diagnosed with HIV between 2019 and 2020 at the two tertiary hospitals in …

  • Supply-side readiness to deliver HIV testing and treatment services in Indonesia

    Open AccessRabiah al Adawiyah, David Boettiger et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Introduction Despite national efforts to integrate Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) of HIV services into antenatal care in Indonesia, the rate of mother-to-child transmission of HIV remains the highest in the world. A range of barriers to uptake and long-term engagement in care have been identified, but far less is known about health system preparedness to deliver PMTCT of HIV services. This study explored supply-side barriers t…

  • Performance evaluation of the Asante Rapid Recency Assay for verification of HIV diagnosis and detection of recent HIV-1 infections

    Open AccessErnest L Yufenyuy, Mervi Detorio et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    We previously described development of a rapid test for recent infection (RTRI) that can diagnose HIV infection and detect HIV-1 recent infections in a single device. This technology was transferred to a commercial partner as Asante Rapid Recency Assay (ARRA). We evaluated performance of the ARRA kits in the laboratory using a well-characterized panel of specimens. The plasma specimen panel (N = 1500) included HIV-1 (N = 570), HIV-2 (N = 10), and…

  • Knowledge, attitudes and practices on tuberculosis infection prevention and associated factors among rural and urban adults in northeast Tanzania

    Open AccessMethod Kazaura, R Kamazima et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2021

    Almost 10 million of the global population was infected with tuberculosis (TB) in 2017. Tanzania is among countries with high incidence of TB. Although control measures of TB are multi factorial, it is important to understand the individual’s knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) in order to control TB infection. We conducted a cross-sectional study in northeast Tanzania; recruited and interviewed 1519 adults from two districts, one rural and …
