Long-Lasting Insecticide-Treated Net Use Gaps and Severity Predictors in a Pre-Elimination Landscape
Although significant progress has been made in reducing malaria transmission in Zimbabwe, the path to elimination remains challenging. The disease remains a persistent threat, particularly in resource-constrained areas such as Mberengwa, necessitating an urgent need to understand the demographic, behavioural, socioeconomic, and structural factors influencing long-lasting insecticide-treated net use and case severity. This study investigated these…
Inequities in Accessing Sexual and Reproductive Health Services by Gender and Sexual Minority Populations in Kadoma in Zimbabwe. A Research Protocol
Sexual and reproductive health services are crucial for universal health coverage; however, there is limited understanding of the challenges faced by Gender and Sexual Minority populations in accessing these services in Zimbabwe. This study aims to explore these inequities and propose strategies to address them, aligning with the United Nations AIDS 2030 strategies and Sustainable Development Goals for inclusivity and equitable healthcare access.…
Non-Affirming Linguistic Terms and Their Impact on the Lived Experiences of Students with Disabilities in Tertiary Institutions, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe
Students with disabilities in Bulawayo’s tertiary institutions face linguistic degradation due to a lack of knowledge about appropriate terminology. Terms like “victims” or “sufferers” perpetuate negative stereotypes, failing to recognize them as whole individuals who seek respect and affirmation. This study sought to investigate non-affirming linguistic terms and their impact on the lived experiences of students with disabilities in tertiary ins…
Modelling an Optimal Climate-Driven Malaria Transmission Control Strategy to Optimise the Management of Malaria in Mberengwa District, Zimbabwe
Malaria is a persistent public health problem, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa where its transmission is intricately linked to climatic factors. Climate change threatens malaria elimination efforts in limited resource settings, such as in the Mberengwa district. However, the role of climate change in malaria transmission and management has not been adequately quantified to inform interventions. This protocol employs a multi-method quantitative…
A Cross-Sectional Study Examining the Role of Climate Variability in Shaping Trypanosomiasis Trends in Binga District, Zimbabwe (2008-2023)
Climate variability, particularly global warming, is expected to have a significant impact on the interactions between pathogens, vectors, and animal and human hosts. Trypanosomiasis, a neglected zoonotic disease, is particularly sensitive to changes in climate, as increased temperatures can accelerate vector development and expand geographical range. This disease remains prevalent in Zimbabwe, with the Binga District being disproportionately aff…
Exploring Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Status and Health Outcomes in Zimbabwe
This scoping review aimed to explore the water, sanitation, and hygiene status in Zimbabwe and its influence on health outcomes. A systematic search of the literature published in English with an unrestricted search until 31 May 2024 was performed using predefined search strings with Boolean operators, including PubMed, EBSCO, SAGE, SpringerLink, Cochrane Library, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. A total of 655 records were id…
Exploring Barriers and Facilitators That Influence Uptake of Oral Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Among Men Who Have Sex With Men in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe
The world has been on the path to ending HIV and AIDS as a global threat by 2030; despite these efforts, the rate of new HIV infections among men who have sex with men remains very high. This study sought to explore the perceptions of key stakeholders on the potential barriers and facilitators of pre-exposure prophylaxis use among this key population. An exploratory, descriptive (through interviews) qualitative study was conducted on 10 key infor…
Malaria Severity in the Elimination Continuum
Malaria has created a resurgence crisis in Zimbabwe's elimination continuum, diverging from global commitment to malaria elimination by 2030. This retrospective cohort study aimed to determine the risk factors associated with severe malaria in the Beitbridge and Lupane districts. Multistage sampling was used to recruit 2414 individuals recorded in the District Health Information Software2 Tracker database. The study used IBM SPSS 29.0.2.0(20) for…
Oral Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Uptake and Acceptability Among Men Who Have Sex With Men
Despite the global effort to end the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic as a global threat by 2030, the rate of new HIV infections worldwide remains unacceptably high among men who have sex with men, hence the need to use pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to reduce the risk of HIV infection. This population has an increased risk of getting HIV; thus, it is imperative to assess the uptake and ac…
Oral Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Accessibility, Knowledge, Barriers, and Facilitators Among Men Who Have Sex With Men in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe
Great strides have been made globally toward ending HIV and AIDS as a threat by 2030, although the rate of new HIV infections among men who have sex with men remains very high. Due to their risk of getting HIV and AIDS, utilization of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) can potentially reduce the risk of HIV transmission among this population. This study sought to analyze the accessibility, knowledge, and potential barriers and facilitators to assess…
Sexual and Gender Minorities Inclusion and Uptake of Sexual and Reproductive Health Services
Despite the efforts to ensure that sexual and reproductive health services are integrated into global, regional, and national initiatives, a significant number of countries are overwhelmed by frames of exclusion and violations of fundamental human rights, particularly for sexual and gender minority groups such as lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgender people. This study sought to review the literature on access and barriers faced by sexual an…
Pervasive irregular migration and the vulnerabilities of irregular female migrants at Plumtree border post in Zimbabwe
Female migrants are generally at risk as they are bound to be taken advantage of at different levels during migration and deportation. Therefore, there is a need to relook at the policies implemented at the ports and ensure women are subjected to humane treatment even during the deportation process
Adolescents and Parents’ Perceptions of Condom Distribution in Selected Secondary Schools in the High Density Suburbs of Bulawayo, Zimbabwe
Condoms have been highlighted as one of the most effective strategies to prevent the spread of HIV and AIDS. This study assessed how adolescents and parents perceive the condom distribution programme in selected secondary schools in the high-density suburbs of Bulawayo. A concurrent mixed method survey was conducted on three selected secondary schools. Three hundred adolescents and three hundred parents responded to a pre tested semi structured q…
