Effectiveness of Integrating HIV Oral Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and Family Planning
Open AccessKevin O’reilly, Ping Teresa Yeh et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2026
Oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and family planning (FP) share key characteristics. Both are preventive, both have high efficacy but effectiveness which can be diminished by inconsistent use and both are particularly beneficial for adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in certain lower- and middle-income countries. When the efficacy of PrEP was proven in field trials, an effort to implement PrEP programs for the populations that would most…

How does embedded implementation research work? Examining core features through qualitative case studies in Latin America and the Caribbean
Open AccessN Ilona Varallyay, Sara Bennett et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2020References: 46
Innovative strategies are needed to improve the delivery of evidence-informed health interventions. Embedded implementation research (EIR) seeks to enhance the generation and use of evidence for programme improvement through four core features: (1) central involvement of programme/policy decision-makers in the research cycle; (2) collaborative research partnerships; (3) positioning research within programme processes and (4) research focused on i…
From Doxastic to Epistemic
Open AccessAstrid Berner-Rodoreda, Till Bärnighausen et al.ARTICLEQualitative Inquiry2020Cited by: 17References: 67
Qualitative interview styles have been guided by precedent within academic disciplines. The nature of information sought, and the role of interviewer and interviewee are key determinants across styles, which range from doxastic (focused on understanding interviewees' experiences or behaviors) to epistemic (focused on co-constructing knowledge). In this article, we position common interview styles along a doxastic-epistemic continuum, and accordin…

Open AccessErica Koegler, Caitlin E Kennedy et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2018Cited by: 2References: 6
Solidarity groups were established in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo to provide female survivors of conflict-related sexual violence an opportunity to generate income, establish networks of support, and cope with atrocities. Qualitative data were collected from 12 members of solidarity groups to explore factors that contributed to members' mental health. All women identified some improvement (physiological, psychological, economic, or socia…
Examining the effects of HIV self‐testing compared to standard HIV testing services
Open AccessCheryl C Johnson, Caitlin Kennedy et al.ARTICLEJournal of the International AIDS…2017
Introduction : HIV self‐testing (HIVST) is a discreet and convenient way to reach people with HIV who do not know their status, including many who may not otherwise test. To inform World Health Organization (WHO) guidance, we assessed the effect of HIVST on uptake and frequency of testing, as well as identification of HIV‐positive persons, linkage to care, social harm, and risk behaviour. Methods : We systematically searched for studies comparing…
We talk, we do not have shame’
Miguel A Carrasco, Maria Augusta Carrasco et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2017
This study explores social cohesion as a strategy used by female sex workers to address layered HIV and sex work-related stigma. Data derive from a thematic analysis of 23 in-depth interviews and 2 focus groups with female sex workers living with HIV enrolled in a multi-level HIV/STI prevention, treatment and care intervention in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Drawing on Foucault's conceptualisation of modern power, discipline and resistance,…
Social cohesion, social participation and HIV testing among men who have sex with men in Swaziland
Elise Grover, Ashley Grosso et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2016
Social cohesion and social participation are social factors that may help reduce HIV risks and optimize health-seeking behaviors. We examined the association between these factors and HIV testing in the last 12 months among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Swaziland using a cross-sectional survey conducted with 326 men, 18 years of age or older reporting having sex with another man in the last 12 months. Social capital analyses included measure…
Understanding the socio-structural context of high HIV transmission in kasensero fishing community, South Western Uganda
Open AccessMuhamadi Lubega, Neema Nakyaanjo et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015
The current combination HIV prevention services by the RHSP need to be enhanced with more government involvement including ensuring sustainable supply of ART and circumcision services since they are reportedly highly demanded. Community involvement through the engagement of popular peers could also help in the campaign to change the HIV predisposing culture, misconceptions and risky social norms of the population. Social Context HIV Transmission …
There is hunger in my community”
Open AccessRebecca Fielding-Miller, Zandile Mnisi et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014
Informants described a risk cycle of hunger, sex work, and HIV infection. The two latter drive an increased need for 'healthy foods' and an alienation from social networks that offer material and emotional support against hunger. Services and interventions for sex workers which address the pathways through which food insecurity generates vulnerability to HIV and social marginalization, build sex workers collective efficacy to mobilize, consider p…
Sexual stigma and discrimination as barriers to seeking appropriate healthcare among men who have sex with men in Swaziland
Open AccessKathryn A Risher, Kathryn Risher et al.ARTICLEJournal of the International AIDS…2013
INTRODUCTION: Same-sex practices and orientation are both stigmatized and criminalized in many countries across sub-Saharan Africa. This study aimed to assess the relationship of fear of seeking healthcare and disclosure of same-sex practices among a sample of men who have sex with men (MSM) in Swaziland with demographic, socio-economic and behavioural determinants. METHODS: Three hundred and twenty-three men who reported having had anal sex with…
Use of Dual Protection Among Female Sex Workers in Swaziland [
Eileen A Yam, Zandile Mnisi et al.ARTICLEInternational Perspectives on…2013
CONTEXT: Female sex workers are at heightened risk of both HIV infection and unwanted pregnancy. Nonbarrier modern contraceptives are highly effective at preventing pregnancy, but offer no HIV protection. A better understanding of sex workers' use of condoms and nonbarrier methods is needed to help them meet their contraceptive and STI protection needs. METHODS: A 2011 respondent-driven sampling survey collected reproductive health and contracept…
Ugandan Men's Attitudes Toward Their Partner's Participation in Antenatal HIV Testing
Amy M Medley, Amy Medley et al.ARTICLEHealth Care For Women International2012
Several authors have shown that women's uptake of antenatal HIV testing is influenced by fear of their partners' reactions. We conducted a qualitative study with 40 Ugandan men to examine their attitudes toward their partners' participation in antenatal HIV testing. Most men believed women should consult their husbands prior to HIV testing to avoid negative consequences and facilitate disclosure. When women tested during routine antenatal care, h…
