Young widowhood as a predictor of HIV risk behaviors in a high HIV prevalence setting in Siaya County, Kenya
BACKGROUND: Widowed women in sub-Saharan Africa bear a disproportionate burden of HIV/AIDS. OBJECTIVES: We examined the likely period of HIV exposure among widows living with HIV and the patterns and predictors of widowed women's HIV risk behaviors. METHODS: We performed a cross-sectional survey with an age-stratified random sample of widowed women in Siaya County, Kenya. We estimated the period of HIV exposure and the prevalence of HIV-risk beha…
Widowhood stigma as a fundamental cause of poor mental, sexual, and reproductive health outcomes in sub-Saharan Africa
Widows in sub-Saharan Africa experience stigma linked to their social identity of widowhood. Despite the known significant impacts of stigma on health and wellbeing, widowhood stigma is less conceptualized and studied and its effects on widows' mental, sexual and reproductive health are not delineated. We thematically reviewed literature mentioning widowhood stigma and its effects in Africa. Applying the fundamental cause theory to this literatur…
Widowed and at risk
From a decade long follow-up, we show a disproportionately high and increasing prevalence of HIV among widowed women in Siaya, Kenya. Among both widowed and married women, there was an association between living with HIV and younger age, 10-year younger sexual partners and experiencing forced sex. Policies that prioritize widowed women could assist in the development of targeted interventions that address the unique challenges of this important s…
Breastfeeding counselling mentorship programme feasibility
Objectives: To determine the feasibility of implementing a facility-based breastfeeding counselling (BFC) mentorship programme and its effect on mentee confidence and client perceptions of BFC. Setting: Mbagathi County Referral Hospital in Nairobi, Kenya. Participants: Health facility management, health workers (twenty-one mentees and seven mentors), 120 pregnant women in the third trimester who attended an antenatal care (ANC) appointment at Mba…
Safety, effectiveness and immunogenicity of heterologous mRNA-1273 boost after prime with Ad26.COV2.S among healthcare workers in South Africa
Limited studies have been conducted on the safety and effectiveness of heterologous COVID-19 vaccine boosting in lower income settings, especially those with high-HIV prevalence., The Sisonke Heterologous mRNA-1273 boost after prime with Ad26.COV2.S (SHERPA) trial evaluated a mRNA-1273 boost after Ad26.COV2.S priming in South Africa. SHERPA was a single-arm, open-label, phase 3 study nested in the Sisonke implementation trial of 500000 healthcare…
Risk Factors Associated with HIV Acquisition in Males Participating in HIV Vaccine Efficacy Trials in South Africa
In South Africa, HIV acquisition risk has been studied less in people assigned male at birth. We studied the associations between risk behaviors, clinical features and HIV incidence amongst males in two South African HIV preventive vaccine efficacy trials. We used Cox proportional hazards models to test for associations between demographics, sexual behaviors, clinical variables and HIV acquisition among males followed in the HVTN 503 (n = 219) an…
Comparing the effect of a multisectoral agricultural intervention on HIV-related health outcomes between widowed and married women
Our study is among the first comparing the effect of a livelihood intervention on HIV health outcomes among widowed and married women. Widowed women experienced similar benefits as married women on individual-level outcomes, but weaker benefit on outcomes dependent on their external environment like enacted stigma and social support. Future trials and programs targeting widowed women should bolster stigma reduction and social support
Gender equity in health research publishing in Africa
INTRODUCTION: Women researchers find it more difficult to publish in academic journals than men, an inequity that affects women's careers and was exacerbated during the pandemic, particularly for women in low-income and middle-income countries. We measured publishing by sub-Saharan African (SSA) women in prestigious authorship positions (first or last author, or single author) during the time frame 2014-2016. We also examined policies and practic…
Is development aid to strengthen health systems during protracted conflict a useful investment? The case of South Sudan, 2011–2015
Introduction: Is achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16 (building peaceful societies) a precondition for achieving SDG 3 (health and well-being in all societies, including conflict-affected countries)? Do health system investments in conflict-affected countries waste resources or benefit the public's health? To answer these questions, we examine the maternal, newborn, child and reproductive health (MNCRH) service provision during pr…
Measuring health system resilience in a highly fragile nation during protracted conflict
Health systems resilience (HSR) is defined as the ability of a health system to continue providing normal services in response to a crisis, making it a critical concept for analysis of health systems in fragile and conflict-affected settings (FCAS). However, no consensus for this definition exists and even less about how to measure HSR. We examine three current HSR definitions (maintaining function, improving function and achieving health system …
Health Facility Cost of Cesarean Delivery at a Rural District Hospital in Rwanda Using Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing
Adapting operational research training to the Rwandan context
BACKGROUND: Promoting national health research agendas in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) requires adequate numbers of individuals with skills to initiate and conduct research. Recently, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have joined research capacity building efforts to increase research leadership by LMIC nationals. Partners In Health, an international NGO operating in Rwanda, implemented its first Intermediate Operational Research …
