  • Implementing long-acting injectable HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis services at private pharmacies in Kenya

    Open AccessStephanie Roche, Kevin Kamolloh et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    INTRODUCTION: Maximising the impact of new and forthcoming long-acting injectable HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) products will require novel delivery approaches that widen accessibility and prioritise clients' needs and preferences. To understand the potential barriers and facilitators to delivering injectable PrEP via private pharmacies in Kenya, we conducted qualitative formative research. METHODS: From July to September 2023, we interview…

  • Formalized peer referral to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis supported with self-testing

    Open AccessMaureen McGowan, Njeri Wairimu et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Background: The uptake of daily oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)-a highly effective intervention-remains low among African adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) who could benefit. AGYW who initiate PrEP often do so through informal peer referral, which may be enhanced with formalized peer referral and peer-delivered HIV self-testing (HIVST). To understand the feasibility of this PrEP referral model among AGYW, we conducted a pilot study…

  • Measuring the performance of computer vision artificial intelligence to interpret images of HIV self-testing results

    Open AccessStephanie Roche, Obinna Ikechukwu Ekwunife et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Introduction: HIV self-testing (HIVST) is highly sensitive and specific, addresses known barriers to HIV testing (such as stigma), and is recommended by the World Health Organization as a testing option for the delivery of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Nevertheless, HIVST remains underutilized as a diagnostic tool in community-based, differentiated HIV service delivery models, possibly due to concerns about result misinterpretation, which …

  • Assessing young Kenyan women's willingness to engage in a peer-delivered HIV self-testing and referral model for PrEP initiation

    Open AccessMaureen McGowan, Edinah Casmir et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Background: Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is highly effective for HIV prevention, but uptake remains low, especially among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in Kenya. A model in which trained AGYW using PrEP deliver HIV self-tests to their close friends and refer them to PrEP may help increase PrEP uptake in this population. To understand AGYW's potential willingness to engage in such a model, we conducted a qualitative formative study in…

  • Barriers and Expectations of Adolescents Regarding the Identification and Management of Their Psychoactive Substance Use by Their General Practitioner

    Open AccessFrédéric Fortin, Stephanie Roche et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    Reminding each consultation of the principles of the relationship of trust and confidentiality while maintaining an empathetic attitude would make it easier for GPs to remove adolescents' inhibitions about communicating about their PAS use

  • Understanding how social support influences peer-delivered HIV prevention interventions among Ugandan female sex workers

    Open AccessMaureen McGowan, Stephanie Roche et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    In Uganda, social support (e.g., informational, instrumental, and emotional support) among FSW peers can work in ways that both motivate and discourage peer-delivered intervention uptake. Future FSW peer-delivered HIV prevention interventions should be designed around the dimensions of social support within FSW peer networks to maximize initial and repeat intervention delivery and uptake

  • Acceptability and Feasibility of Pharmacy-Based Delivery of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis in Kenya

    Open AccessStephanie Roche, Njeri Wairimu et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2021

    As countries scale up pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention, diverse PrEP delivery models are needed to expand access to populations at HIV risk that are unwilling or unable to access clinic-based PrEP care. To identify factors that may influence implementation of retail pharmacy-based PrEP delivery in Kenya, we conducted in-depth interviews with 40 pharmacy clients, 16 pharmacy providers, 16 PrEP clients, and 10 PrEP providers from …

  • Making surgical missions a joint operation

    Open AccessStephanie Roche, Rachel Hall‐cliffordARTICLEGlobal Public Health2015

    Each year, thousands of Guatemalans receive non-emergent surgical care from short-term medical missions (STMMs) hosted by local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and staffed by foreign visiting medical teams (VMTs). The purpose of this study was to explore the perspectives of individuals based in NGOs involved in the coordination of surgical missions to better understand how these missions articulate with the larger Guatemalan health care sys…
