  • Recognizing the hidden

    Open AccessCynthia Semá Baltazar, Makini Boothe et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    High quality, representative data from HIV surveillance systems that have country ownership and commitment are critical for guiding national HIV responses, especially among key and priority populations given their disproportionate role in the transmission of the virus.

  • Low engagement in HIV services and progress through the treatment cascade among key populations living with HIV in Mozambique

    Open AccessMakini Boothe, Makini A S Boothe et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Among the three high risk populations in Mozambique, losses occurred throughout critical areas of service uptake with the most alarming breakpoint occurring at knowledge of HIV status.

    There is a high burden of HBV and HCV among HIV-infected PWID in Mozambique.

Specific attention should go to the creation of PWID-focused health and social services outside of state-sponsored psychiatric treatment centers

  • Factors influencing risky sexual behaviour among Mozambican miners

    Open AccessEmilia Martins-Fonteyn, Osvaldo Loquiha et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2017

    In Mozambique, behavioural theory emphasising personal behavioural changes is the main strategy to combat HIV among miners. Our findings suggest there is a need to change thinking processes about how to influence safer sexual behaviour. This is viewed to be the result of a person's individual decision, due to of the complexity of social and contextual factors that may also influence sexual behaviours. This only stresses the need for HIV preventio…
