First Mile program
Uganda's public healthcare system faces significant systemic challenges in delivering care, contributing to poor health outcomes. In response, a North-South partnership between Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST), and Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital (MRRH) implemented the First Mile Project, a seven-year initiative (2018-2024) designed to strengthen the regional health system in southwester…
Longitudinal Trends in Physical Activity Among Older Adults With and Without HIV in Uganda
Introduction Physical Activity (PA) and its links to frailty, quality of life (QoL), and other comorbidities in older Ugandans living with HIV remain under-explored. Methods We analyzed data from three annual assessments of older people living with HIV (PLWH) and age- and sex-similar people not living with HIV (PnLWH). We fitted linear generalized estimating equations (GEE) regression models to estimate the correlates of PA, including demographic…
Social networks and HIV treatment adherence among people with HIV initiating treatment in rural Uganda and peri-urban South Africa
Timely initiation of and adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is critical for improving HIV outcomes and reducing HIV transmissibility. Social networks, or the social relationships individuals have with each other, have been linked with positive health outcomes, but less is known about the extent to which social network composition and structure are associated with improved ART adherence among people living with HIV (PLWH). We conducted an e…
HIV, Social Networks, and Loneliness among Older Adults in Uganda
Correlates of Sleep Health among Older-Age People with and without HIV in Uganda
There is a growing population of older people with HIV (PWH) in Uganda. Sleep problems disproportionately affect older people and PWH. This study aimed to estimate correlates of sleep health among older Ugandans (aged ≥ 50 years) with and without HIV, using data from the Quality of Life and Aging with HIV in Rural Uganda Study. We used the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index to assess sleep quality, duration, and efficiency. We fitted multivariable li…
Revisiting the role of civil society in responses to infectious disease outbreaks
Population health impact, cost-effectiveness, and affordability of community-based HIV treatment and monitoring in South Africa
Community-based delivery and monitoring of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV has the potential to increase viral suppression for individual- and population-level health benefits. However, the cost-effectiveness and budget impact are needed for public health policy. We used a mathematical model of HIV transmission in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, to estimate population prevalence, incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) …
Associations of the Covid-19 pandemic with quality of life
Background: COVID-19-related lockdowns and other public health measures may have differentially affected the quality of life (QOL) of older people with and without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in rural Uganda. Methods: The Quality of Life and Aging with HIV in Rural Uganda study enrolled people with and without HIV aged over 49 from October 2020 to October 2021. We collected data on COVID-19-related stressors (behavior changes, concerns, in…
Influences on Adherence to Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) in Early-Stage HIV Disease
Sexual Behavior and Perceived HIV Risk Among HIV-Negative Members of Serodiscordant Couples in East Africa
Patterns of Oral PrEP Adherence and HIV Risk Among Eastern African Women in HIV Serodiscordant Partnerships
Fertility Intentions, Pregnancy, and Use of PrEP and ART for Safer Conception Among East African HIV Serodiscordant Couples
Alcohol Consumption in Ugandan HIV-Infected Household-Brewers Versus Non-Brewers
Accuracy of Un-supervised Versus Provider-Supervised Self-administered HIV Testing in Uganda
Concomitant herbal medicine and Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) use among HIV patients in Western Uganda
Use of herbal medicines among patients receiving Anti-retroviral Therapy (ART) remains by far an uncharacterised phenomenon in Africa and Uganda specifically. We evaluated the use of herbal medicines among patients on ART at the HIV clinic of Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital (MRRH), examined factors associated with their concomitant use and their impact on ART adherence. This was a cross-sectional study among 334 systematically sampled patients…
High acceptance of home-based HIV counseling and testing in an urban community setting in Uganda
Acceptance of home-based counseling and testing was relatively high in this urban setting. This strategy provided access to HIV testing for previously untested and unknown HIV-infected individuals in the community. Age, sex, marital status and previous HIV test history are important factors that may be considered when designing programs for home-based HIV testing in urban settings in Uganda
