  • Integrating HPV vaccination into ART clinics

    J Hunleth, Tasha Ngalande et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2026

    People living with HIV are more likely to have persistent HPV infections, increasing the risk of developing HPV-related cancers (e.g., cervical cancer). The HPV vaccination offers protection against such cancers. However, administering the HPV vaccination according to the recommended schedule for adolescents who are living with HIV holds challenges. ART clinics may provide opportune locations in places with high burden of HIV. In our 5-year study…

  • “I can’t fail. And my son can’t fail.”

    Open AccessKirsty Sievwright, Haneefa T Saleem et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Adolescents and young adults (AYA, aged 15–24) living with HIV have suboptimal antiretroviral treatment adherence compared to their adult counterparts, raising concerns of poor health and drug resistance. While it is known that AYA require caregiver and family support to successfully transition to HIV self-management, there has been limited engagement with caregivers to this end. To fill this gap, we examined caregivers’ experiences of navigating…

  • The Children’s Hospitals in Africa Mapping Project (CHAMP) survey

    Open AccessVinayak Bhardwaj, Lawrence R Stanberry et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    The Children’s Hospitals in Africa Mapping Project (CHAMP) survey was developed and implemented to assess the capabilities of some of the best resourced sub-Saharan African hospitals serving children. The aim was to evaluate hospital facilities, infrastructure, equipment, supplies, services, staffing, and readiness to care for children amid public health emergencies. This report analysed a subset of survey questions that characterised the hospita…

  • A Heart for the Care

    Open AccessEmma Nelson Bunkley, Comfort Asante et al.ARTICLEMedical Anthropology Quarterly2024Citada por: 4Referências: 32

    At the only standalone pediatric hospital in Zambia, patient wellbeing often rests in the hands of bedsiders. Bedsiders are caregivers, often family, who sit at the patient's bedside, feeding, cleaning them, and running medical errands. Bedsiders are critical human infrastructure for the hospital and its staff. In our research, we heard repeatedly that bedsiders must have a "heart" for caregiving, taking on unremunerated and exhausting informal l…

  • Family Connections randomized controlled trial

    Open AccessJulie A Denison, Catherine Packer et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2022

    Achieving the 95-95-95 UNAIDS targets requires meeting the needs of adolescents, however we lack evidenced-based approaches to improving adolescent adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART), increasing viral suppression, and supporting general wellbeing. We developed Family Connections as a group intervention for adolescents and their adult caregivers and conducted a randomized controlled trial in Ndola, Zambia to test feasibility and acceptabili…

  • So hurt and broken’

    Open AccessKatherine G Merrill, Jacquelyn C Campbell et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2021

    Emerging data show associations between violence victimisation and negative HIV outcomes among youth in sub-Saharan Africa. We conducted in-depth interviews with adolescents and young adults living with HIV (aged 15-24 years) in Ndola, Zambia, to better understand this relationship. We purposively selected 41 youth (24 females, 17 males) with varied experiences of violence and virologic results. Analysis used thematic coding. Two-thirds of partic…

  • How does learning one’s HIV status relate to viral suppression? an analysis among perinatally infected adolescents and young adults in Ndola, Zambia

    Open AccessChristiana Frimpong, Virginia M Burke et al.ARTICLEVulnerable Children and Youth…2021

    Little data exist on how 15-to-24-year-old perinatally infected youth living with HIV (p-YLHIV) learn their HIV status, and how those disclosure experiences may relate to current viral suppression (VS). Cross-sectional analyses were conducted using baseline data from a randomized controlled trial testing a peer mentoring program in Ndola, Zambia. Analyses were restricted to self-reported p-YLHIV to assess associations between disclosure experienc…

  • Past-Year Violence Victimization is Associated with Viral Load Failure Among HIV-Positive Adolescents and Young Adults

    Open AccessKatherine G Merrill, Jacquelyn C Campbell et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2020

    We examined the relationship between past-year violence victimization and viral load (VL) failure among consecutively-sampled male and female adolescents and young adults, aged 15-24, in four HIV clinics in Ndola, Zambia. Measures of past-year physical violence, psychological abuse, and forced sex were adapted from the ICAST-C and WHO Multi-Country Study. Using logistic regression, we derived associations between VL failure (≥ 1000 copies/mL) and…
