  • Evaluation of differentiated service delivery models on HIV treatment retention among key populations in Nigeria

    Open AccessGeorge I E Eluwa, Scott Geibel et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Linkage to treatment was suboptimal across both models with less than 90% of newly-diagnosed positives initiated on treatment and suggests that facilitated linkage is required to achieve at least 95%. Though retention was higher in the OSS model, both models had an alarmingly short time frame for LTFU and thus intensive monitoring during this phase of treatment is recommended irrespective of the type of DSD. Addressing these gaps will improve ser…

    The Nigerian government commenced large scale cash transfer program in 2017. We evaluated the socioeconomic impact of the cash transfer program (CTP) in Nigeria. Across six randomly selected states that had implemented the CTP for at least six months, qualitative inquiries were conducted among beneficiaries and program implementers. We utilized a program impact theory to explore the interaction of cash transfer on socioeconomic outcomes. Data wer…

    Open AccessAdeyinka Odejimi, John Quinley et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    The causes of neonatal and children aged 1-59 months deaths vary across the northern and southern regions. By homing on the specific causes of mortality by region, the study provides crucial information that may be useful in planning appropriately tailored interventions to significantly reduce under-five deaths in Nigeria

  • HIV status disclosure by Nigerian men who have sex with men and transgender women living with HIV

    Open AccessAbdulwasiu Bolaji Tiamiyu, John Lawlor et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    HIV status disclosure to sexual partners was uncommon among Nigerian MSM and TGW living with HIV but was associated with improved HIV care outcomes. Disclosure was not associated with substantially increased experiences of stigma. Strategies to encourage HIV status disclosure may improve HIV management outcomes in these highly-marginalized populations with a high burden of HIV infection

  • Rising HIV prevalence among men who have sex with men in Nigeria

    Open AccessGeorge I E Eluwa, Sylvia Adebajo et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    There's been a consistent and significant increase in HIV prevalence among MSM with about 10-percentage points relative increase per year over 7 years. Older MSM were more likely to be HIV positive and this may reflect their prolonged exposure to high risk sexual activities. Evidence based interventions are urgently needed to mitigate intra-group HIV transmission and propagation of HIV epidemic between MSM and the general population
