Oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) can reduce the likelihood of HIV acquisition by more than 90% when adherence is optimal. The Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-Free, Mentored, and Safe (DREAMS) program, funded by PEPFAR/USAID and implemented by the Project HOPE Namibia (PHN)-led consortium, pr…

Of the drug users in 2021, about 13 million were injection drug users. The burden of injection drug use is different in different regions of the world. About 1.3% of the adult population in Eastern Europe inject drugs while 1% in North America also inject drugs. People who inject drugs (PWID) are 35 times more l…
Emerging infectious disease outbreaks in Sub-Saharan Africa
Background: Over the past two decades, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has faced multiple public health emergencies (1). A public health emergency (PHE) is a situation with health consequences too severe for conventional community response (2). Between 2001 and 2022, the region reported 1,800 PHEs, most of them emerging infectious diseases (3). Emerging infectious diseases are new or resurgent diseases in the population (4). Cholera, meningitis, Ebola, …
Redefining HIV care
In 2021, around 38 million people were living with HIV (PLHIV) globally. In the same year, the number of new HIV infections worldwide was 1.5 million, while 650,000 died from AIDS-related illnesses. Low and middle-income nations (LMICs), especially those in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), have been hardest hit by the HIV epidemic. Apart from the death toll, the epidemic severely impacted LMICs’ health systems. The HIV epidemic led to a shortage of heal…

However, significant programmatic gaps remain for selected key populations. \nZimbabwe has several legal and policy constraints that hinder these key populations from \nseeking HIV prevention, treatment and care services. The criminalization of sex work and \nmen who have sex with men are significant impediments to achieving 95-95-95 in the \ncountry. I…
