Men’s understanding of three different measures of transactional sex
Lack of valid and reliable measures and inconsistent transactional sex measurement has resulted in poor understanding of the practice, particularly among men. To improve transactional sex measurement and facilitate comparison across studies, we examined how men comprehend and respond to three common transactional sex measures. Cognitive interviews were conducted with 25 sexually active adult men in Rakai, Uganda and data were thematically analyse…
Factors shaping understanding and interpretation of sexual practice survey questions in south-central Uganda
BACKGROUND: Accurate interpretation of survey questions about sensitive matters such as sexual practices is crucial for obtaining reliable data to inform effective public health interventions. Describing sexual practices involves reflecting on acts and contextually attributing meanings. However, participants in sexual behaviour studies may struggle to understand questions, affecting the validity of the data. AIM: We investigated factors that shap…
HIVST in the presence of a partner among fishermen in Western Kenya
BACKGROUND: HIV self-testing (HIVST) enables individuals to test privately and can serve as an important tool to mitigate stigma and fear of HIV testing and unintended disclosure, especially among men, who have lower voluntary testing rates than women. AIM: Within an intervention study involving distribution of HIVST kits by fishermen to their peers [NCT04772469], we explore the experiences and the motivations of men who chose to self-test for HI…
Expanding the employment quality framework
Precarious employment, a condition marked by job instability, low wages, and limited protections, exacerbates economic insecurity and poor health, yet little is known about its impact on Black emerging adults (BEA). This study draws on longitudinal qualitative data to examine how young adults ages 18–24 experience and navigate precarious work while participating in a guaranteed income trial. We conducted in-depth interviews with 36 participants a…
Motivations for testing and linkage to HIV services following HIV self-testing among fishermen in Kenya
HIV self-testing (HIVST) is a promising strategy to expand testing access for hard-to-reach populations such as Kenyan fishermen. We examined motivations and barriers to HIVST use and linkage to HIV prevention and treatment services (including PrEP or ART), within a social network-based intervention (NCT04772469). We conducted interviews (N = 64) and focus group discussions (N = 4) with fishermen in Siaya County, including 30 “promoters” who dist…
Hazardous alcohol use is associated with sexual behaviors that increase risk for HIV acquisition among fishermen in a high HIV prevalence area of Kenya
Links between hazardous alcohol use and HIV acquisition are well documented, with less known about this relationship among fishermen, a priority group for HIV prevention. We examined associations between hazardous alcohol use and sexual risk behaviors among fishermen in Kenya using 2022 data from 733 fishermen in three Lake Victoria communities. Measures included the AUDIT-C and sexual relationship histories. Logistic regression models assessed a…
Misconceptions and limited experience with HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among fishermen in Western Kenya
Daily oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is highly effective when taken consistently, but its uptake remains low among mobile fishermen in Kenya. This study explored barriers and facilitators to PrEP uptake in three Lake Victoria beach communities. In-depth interviews (IDIs) and focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted with 65 fishermen, purposively sampled by community, age and study arm. IDIs and FGDs examined PrEP knowledge, percept…
There is no need to leave the beach to test”
While few fishermen had ever used HIVST, this study found high awareness, positive perceptions, and substantial willingness to use and distribute HIVST to other men. The "promoter" model, with known peers engaged in disseminating HIVST information and test kits, shows promise for engaging men in testing
Motivational interviewing experiences from a community health worker-led HIV prevention and care intervention in rural Uganda
Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Community Health Workers (CHWs) are increasingly utilized in global settings to improve HIV outcomes, yet research exploring implementation strategies using MI and CHWs is lacking. We examined the experiences of CHWs and their clients in a counseling intervention which used MI-informed counseling to increase engagement in HIV prevention and treatment. This study was nested within the mLAKE cluster-randomized tri…
Baltimore community resident and collaborator perspectives on the influence of guaranteed income on health
This formative research on the potential health impacts of guaranteed income in Baltimore highlights important health outcomes and pathways, such as social cohesion and decreased feelings of time scarcity, to prioritize for evaluation
Dissolution of transactional sex relationships during Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent mitigation measures led to social disruption and negative economic shocks for a large proportion of Uganda's population. The social and economic consequences of COVID-19 on Ugandan men's sexual behaviours, including transactional sex relationships, are unclear. We conducted in-depth interviews between November 2021-February 2022 with 26 men in a high HIV prevalence region of Uganda. Data were analysed thematic…
Educational approaches to teach students to address colonialism in global health
INTRODUCTION: The enduring legacy of colonisation on global health education, research and practice is receiving increased attention and has led to calls for the 'decolonisation of global health'. There is little evidence on effective educational approaches to teach students to critically examine and dismantle structures that perpetuate colonial legacies and neocolonialist control that influence in global health. METHODS: We conducted a scoping r…
