Postpartum continuity of care for women with HIV
Introduction Postpartum disengagement from HIV care increases risks for adverse maternal health outcomes and transmission of HIV through breastfeeding. In January 2015, South Africa implemented Option B+, a policy extending lifelong antiretroviral therapy (ART) eligibility to all pregnant women living with HIV (PWLWH) regardless of CD4 count. We assessed the impact of Option B+ on postpartum retention in HIV care for PWLWH and identified predicto…
Routine Electronic Mother-Infant Data (ReminD)
Data to Care (D2C) strategies- using routine data to identify and re-engage people living with HIV who are not in care- have shown promise in high-income settings but remain underexplored in lower-resource and vertical HIV transmission prevention (VTP) contexts. In this prospective, single-arm, proof-of-concept study, we used facility-linked public sector electronic medical records (Provincial Health Data Centre [PHDC] data) to identify, validate…
Peripartum mobility and maternal/child separation among women living with HIV in South Africa
This prospective cohort study investigated the mobility patterns of 200 pregnant and postpartum women living with HIV in South Africa. Participants were enrolled during their third trimester from routine antenatal care near Cape Town, South Africa, and followed for six months postpartum. Quantitative data were collected at enrollment and follow-up. Mobility (self-reported) was common among the participants, despite the brief study period and the …
Using an Anthropological Lens to Explore Motivators and Challenges for Follow-up Care Decision Making among Female BRCA1/2 Carriers at Risk for Inherited Cancer
Females with a BRCA1/2 (BRCA) pathogenic variant have high lifetime risks for cancer. Regularly updated guidelines are in place that recommend screening and/or surgery to monitor and/or significantly reduce breast or ovarian cancer risk. Follow-up care decision making among this population is important to explore to understand the multi-faceted influences guiding cancer screening behaviors and risk-reducing surgery decisions. Using lived-experien…

Smartphone usage and preferences among postpartum HIV-positive women in South Africa
In South Africa, HIV-positive women receiving antiretroviral therapy often are lost to care postpartum; strategies to support long-term engagement are needed. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions are emerging as a possible solution for supporting long-term engagement in the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV care continuum. In order to explore acceptability and feasibility of mobile health (mHealth) interventions in this c…
Acceptability of Interventions to Improve Engagement in HIV Care Among Pregnant and Postpartum Women at Two Urban Clinics in South Africa
Acceptability and feasibility of a financial incentive intervention to improve retention in HIV care among pregnant women in Johannesburg, South Africa
Women initiating antiretroviral therapy during pregnancy are at high risk of dropping out of HIV care after delivery. We assessed the acceptability and feasibility of a financial incentive - a one-time R50 (∼USD4) supermarket voucher for completing one postpartum visit ≤10 weeks of delivery - to improve postpartum retention. We enrolled 100 pregnant, HIV-positive women at a primary health clinic in Johannesburg, South Africa. Participants were in…
“I just wish that everything is in one place”
HIV and non-communicable diseases (NCD) are co-epidemics in South Africa. Comorbid individuals must engage in lifelong care. Postpartum HIV-positive women in South Africa are at high risk of dropping out of HIV care. We explored healthcare utilization among postpartum women requiring chronic management of HIV and NCD. From August - December 2016, we enrolled 25 women in Soweto, South Africa, and conducted one-time interviews. All participants wer…
