  • Promises and Tensions

    Open AccessSujith Kumar Prankumar, Ruthy Boli-Neo et al.ARTICLEMedical Anthropology2026References: 40

    Using a sociomaterial perspective based on interviews with health workers, we examine how clinic-based HIV viral load testing and early infant diagnosis technologies reshape health care realities in Papua New Guinea. The use of such technologies redefine professional roles and health care experiences by empowering health workers to translate biomedical data into client-centered clinical management, while also contributing systemic tensions, such …

  • HIV and sexual health needs of young key populations in Papua New Guinea

    Open AccessAngela Kelly-Hanku, Xinyi Li et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2025

    Papua New Guinea lacks data characterising the sexual health needs of younger key populations (KP): female sex workers (FSW) and commercially and sexually exploited girls (CSE), men who have sex with men (MSM), and transgender women (TGW). Biobehavioural surveys among KP were conducted in three cities. We conducted unweighted and weighted analysis for sample and population proportions, respectively. Variables associated with younger versus older …

  • Acceptability of self-collected vaginal swabs and point-of-care testing for sexually transmitted and genital infections among pregnant women in Papua New Guinea

    Open AccessLisa Vallely, Priscilla Poga et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2024

    The self-collection of vaginal swabs and point-of-care testing and treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is reported from several low-and middle-income countries. However, the reporting on women's experiences of self-collection and same-day testing and treatment of STIs is less well described. In this paper, we present the acceptability of self-collected vaginal swabs and point-of-care testing and treatment among pregnant women enro…

  • Towards the elimination of cervical cancer in low-income and lower-middle-income countries

    Open AccessDiep Nguyen, Kate T Simms et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    INTRODUCTION: WHO has launched updated cervical screening guidelines, including provisions for primary HPV screen-and-treat. Papua New Guinea (PNG) has a high burden of cervical cancer, but no national cervical screening programme. We recently completed the first field trials of a screen-and-treat algorithm using point-of-care self-collected HPV and same-day treatment (hereafter self-collected HPV S&T) and showed this had superior clinical perfor…

  • A socio-ecological analysis of factors influencing HIV treatment initiation and adherence among key populations in Papua New Guinea

    Open AccessElke Mitchell, Avi J Hakim et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Exploring health promotion messages that highlight the positive health impacts of early treatment initiation and adherence; providing client-friendly services and community-based treatment initiation and supply; and rolling out HIV viral load testing across the country could improve health outcomes for these key populations

  • Perpetration of Violence by Female Sex Workers in Papua New Guinea

    Open AccessAngela Kelly-Hanku, Heather Worth et al.ARTICLEThe British Journal of Criminology2021References: 54

    There is a small but important body of literature on female sex workers’ (FSWs) violence towards others, but little of that focused on low- and middle-income countries. Drawn from a larger biobehavioural study of FSWs in three cities in Papua New Guinea, we analyse the interviews from 19 FSWs who reported having perpetrated physical violence towards four major groups: (1) ex-husbands; (2) clients; (3) other sex workers and (4) other people (mainl…

  • Gaps in HIV Testing and Treatment Among Female Sex Workers in Lae and Mt. Hagen, Papua New Guinea

  • One size does not fit all

    Open Accesson behalf of the Kauntim mi tu Study Team, Avi J Hakim et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    The large proportion of MSM and TGW with concurrent sexual partnerships, combined with the low testing coverage, indicates strong potential for the spread of HIV. The different correlates of HIV in Port Moresby and Lae highlight the importance of conducting surveys in multiple locations and using data to develop locally appropriate interventions even within a country

  • Developing a culturally appropriate illustrated tool for the self-collection of anorectal specimens for the testing of sexually transmitted infections

    Open AccessAngela Kelly-Hanku, Stephen Bell et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    This paper describes the development of a culturally and linguistically appropriate tool for a biomedical and clinical intervention with key populations in PNG based around self-collection of anorectal specimens for molecular STI testing. The final tools have been used to facilitate the self-collection of anorectal specimens following a clear clinical protocol during a large bio-behavioural survey in PNG
