Between the lines
Skilled monitoring of player behaviour, using varied communication styles and reflexivity in interactions are linked to expertise in sports officials. However, insight into interaction dynamics between players and officials is limited, particularly from the players’ perspective. A situated player perspective challenges assumptions that players primarily rely on stable social cues about officials. To address this, video-led self-confrontation inte…
How structural homophobia is spreading HIV-risk sexual behaviours around the world
Although discrimination and stigma are recognised determinants of HIV-risk sexual behaviours in the LGBTI population, related data are scarce. In particular, the 'pathways' between these determinants and HIV-risk sexual behaviours are understudied. The main objective of the present study was to fill this knowledge gap by analysing - in a worldwide sample - the relationships between multiple dimensions of homophobia, general propensity to take ris…
Homophobia, economic precarity and the well-being of sexual and gender diverse people in a 153-country survey
Cost-effectiveness of drug consumption rooms in France
Our findings show that DCRs are highly effective and efficient to prevent harms in PWID in France, and advocate extending this intervention to other cities by adding drug consumption spaces inside existing harm reduction centers
De l'activité à l'expérience
Cette contribution présente les construits théoriques et méthodologiques d’une anthropologie cognitive située portant sur l’activité et l’expérience de sportifs de haut niveau, à des fins de formation et de performance. Inscrite dans une ontologie relationnelle et normative, elle propose (i) une théorie de l’expérience, conceptualisant trois niveaux : l’éprouvé in situ, le vécu post-situation et l’expérience proprement dite ; (ii) une méthodologi…
Hepatitis B prevention and treatment needs in women in Senegal (ANRS 12356 AmBass survey)
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier (NCT number): NCT03215732
Costs and economies of scale in repeated home-based HIV counselling and testing
Universal HIV testing is now recommended in generalised HIV epidemic settings. Although home-based HIV counselling and testing (HB-HCT) has been shown to be effective in achieving high levels of HIV status awareness, little is still known about the cost implications of universal and repeated HB-HCT. We estimated the costs of repeated HB-HCT and the scale economies that can be obtained when increasing the population coverage of the intervention. W…
Reassessing the demand for community-based health insurance in rural Senegal
Limited access to information is one of the main health insurance market imperfections in developing countries. Differential access to information may determine individuals' awareness of health insurance schemes, thereby influencing their probability of enrollment. Relying on primary data collected in 2019-2020 in rural Senegal, we estimate the uptake of community-based health insurance using a Heckman-type model to correct for awareness-based sa…
Individual and healthcare supply-related barriers to treatment initiation in HIV-positive patients enrolled in the Cameroonian antiretroviral treatment access programme
Increasing demand for antiretroviral treatment (ART) together with a reduction in international funding during the last decade may jeopardize access to ART. Using data from a cross-sectional survey conducted in 2014 in 19 HIV services in the Centre and Littoral regions in Cameroon, we investigated the role of healthcare supply-related factors in time to ART initiation in HIV-positive patients eligible for ART at HIV diagnosis. HIV service profile…
Early ART Initiation Improves HIV Status Disclosure and Social Support in People Living with HIV, Linked to Care Within a Universal Test and Treat Program in Rural South Africa (ANRS 12249 TasP Trial)
Factors associated with antiretroviral treatment initiation amongst HIV-positive individuals linked to care within a universal test and treat programme
Prompt uptake of antiretroviral treatment (ART) is essential to ensure the success of universal test and treat (UTT) strategies to prevent HIV transmission in high-prevalence settings. We describe ART initiation rates and associated factors within an ongoing UTT cluster-randomized trial in rural South Africa. HIV-positive individuals were offered immediate ART in the intervention arm vs. national guidelines recommended initiation (CD4≤350 cells/m…
Addressing social issues in a universal HIV test and treat intervention trial (ANRS 12249 TasP) in South Africa

La co-production de la performance arbitrale de haut niveau
Si l’arbitrage contribue à la performance des sportifs, l’arbitre de haut niveau doit lui aussi produire une performance. Cet article interroge les conditions de la construction de cette performance en étudiant le cas de l’arbitrage en rugby. Plutôt que de tenter d’identifier des facteurs de performance, nous étudions l’arbitrage dans son contexte de pratique, et développons ainsi une approche de l’activité arbitrale. Nous établissons que la perf…
Changes in sexual activity and risk behaviors among PLWHA initiating ART in rural district hospitals in Cameroon – Data from the STRATALL ANRS 12110/ESTHER trial
The continued scaling-up of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Sub-Saharan Africa provides an opportunity to further study its impact on sexual behaviors among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). We explored time trend and correlates of sexual activity among PLWHA initiating ART in Cameroon and compared sexual risk behaviors between patients sexually active before and after initiating ART and those resuming sexual activity after ART initiation. Ana…
Performance of HIV care decentralization from the patient's perspective
OBJECTIVE: (i) To assess HIV care decentralization in Cameroon from the patients' point of view, in terms of health-related quality of life (HRQL) and perceived quality of services; (ii) to identify patient- and hospital-related factors undermining HRQL. METHODS: Perceived quality of services was compared among 1985 HIV-infected patients treated with antiretroviral therapy (ART) for at least 6 months in 27 treatment centres at different levels of…
Non-adherence to antiretroviral treatment and unplanned treatment interruption among people living with HIV/Aids in Cameroon
Desire for a child among HIV-infected women receiving antiretroviral therapy in Cameroon
The majority of HIV-infected people in sub-Saharan Africa are women, many of reproductive age. Cameroon is severely hit by the AIDS epidemic and has developed a large national program for improving access to antiretroviral treatment (ART). The reproductive intentions of women living with HIV/AIDS (WLHA) who obtain access to ART in this country remain poorly documented. Our study aimed at exploring factors associated with the desire to have a chil…
