  • Improving HIV assisted partner services outcomes by eliciting additional partners after the initial encounter

    Open AccessGeorge Otieno, Sarah Masyuko et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Most assisted partner services (APS) programs elicit partners at the time of HIV diagnosis when index clients may be reluctant to name all partners. Little is known about the benefits of ongoing partner elicitation after the initial visit. We utilized data collected in an APS implementation study across 31 facilities in western Kenya from August 2019 to June 2022. HIV testing service providers offered APS to consenting female index clients and as…

  • HIV testing services and HIV self-testing programming within emergency care in Kenya

    Adam R Aluisio, Scarlett Bergam et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2025

    In Kenya, persons insufficiently engaged in HIV Testing Services (HTS) are often treated in emergency departments (ED). There are limited data from healthcare workers on ED-HTS. A qualitative study was completed to understand challenges and facilitators for ED-HTS and HIV self-testing (HIVST). Data were collected via six focus groups of healthcare workers. Data were inductively analyzed and mapped to the Capability-Opportunity-Motivation Behavior…

  • “We only trust each other”

    Open AccessMegan Maurano, David Bukusi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    In Kenya, overdose remains a major public health concern with approximately 40% of persons who inject drugs (PWID) reporting personal overdoses. PWID living with HIV (PWID-LH) are particularly vulnerable to experiencing fatal and non-fatal overdoses because of the surrounding physical, social, economic, and political environments, which are not fully understood in Kenya. Through qualitative inquiry, this study characterizes Kenya’s overdose risk …

  • Uptake and acceptability of oral HIV self-testing in the context of assisted partner services in Western Kenya

    Open AccessVictor Mudhune, Unmesha Roy Paladhi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Integrating HIV self-testing (HIVST) into assisted partner services (APS) has potential to increase identification of people with HIV in the community, but little is known about acceptability of HIVST among partners traced via APS. We assessed characteristics of APS partners testing with HIVST, and factors influencing HIVST uptake and acceptability in a cluster-randomized control trial on APS+HIVST. Using convergent parallel mixed-methods design,…

  • “I feel good because I have saved their lives”

    Open AccessBrienna Naughton, Mercy Owuor et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Introduction Assisted partner services (APS), or notification for sexual partners of people diagnosed with HIV, is an efficient, effective, and high yield strategy to identify people living with HIV and is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). However, there remains a need to further understand the acceptability of APS qualitatively from a client lens, particularly when APS is integrated into the national health system. We investiga…

  • Integration of assisted partner services within Kenya’s national HIV testing services program

    Open AccessBeatrice Wamuti, Mercy Owour et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Assisted partner service (aPS) augments HIV case-finding among sex partners to individuals newly diagnosed with HIV. In 2016, aPS was incorporated into the national HIV testing services (HTS) program in Kenya. We evaluated the extent of, barriers to, and facilitators of aPS integration into HTS. We conducted semi-structured in-depth interviews (IDIs) with 32 stakeholders selected using purposive sampling at national, county, facility, and communi…

OBJECTIVES: This study sought to understand the injury patient acceptability of ED-HIVST. METHODS: Injury patients presenting to the Kenyatta National Hospital Accident and Emergency Department were enrolled from March to May 2021. Likert item data on HIVST assessing domains of general acceptability, pers…

  • “They have given you the morale and confidence

    Robert Lapsley, Kristin Beima‐Sofie et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2023

    Community-based delivery of oral HIV self-testing (HIVST) may expand access to testing among adolescents and young adults (AYA). Eliciting youth perspectives can help to optimize these services. We conducted nine focus group discussions (FGDs) with HIV negative AYA aged 15-24 who had completed oral HIVST following community-based distribution through homes, pharmacies, and bars. FGDs were stratified by distribution point and age (15-17, 18-24). P…

  • HIV assisted partner services (aPS) to support integrated HIV and hypertension screening in Kenya

    Open AccessBeatrice Wamuti, Betsy Sambai et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    HIV aPS holds promise for integrated HIV and hypertension screening among at-risk clients and their families. Twenty-nine percent of the male relatives had hypertension, higher than the national prevalence (24%), while one-third had pre-hypertension. We observed relatively high participant retention, reductions in blood pressure, and increase in antihypertensive medication uptake among those with confirmed hypertension. Future research expanding …

  • Turning the tide on female genital mutilation in a high prevalence country

    Open AccessWisal Ahmed, N Puttkammer et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    Sudan has about 87% of females aged 15–49 years living with female genital mutilation (FGM), mostly performed by midwives (64%). In 2016, the Federal Ministry of Health (FMoH) adopted the WHO’s global strategy to stop healthcare providers from performing FGM. Our review of activity reports from 2016 to 2018 found the format of activities (N=95) was mainly meetings (58%) and trainings (31%) with median costs of US$10 645 and US$14 964, respectivel…

  • Assessment of standard HIV testing services delivery to injured persons seeking emergency care in Nairobi, Kenya

    Open AccessAdam R Aluisio, Janet Sugut et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Emergency departments (EDs) in Africa are contact points for key groups for HIV testing services (HTS) but understanding of ED-testing delivery is limited which may impeded program impacts. This study evaluated the offering and uptake of standard HTS among injured persons seeking ED care at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) in Nairobi, Kenya. An ED population of adult injured persons was prospectively enrolled (1 March—25 May 2021) and followed th…

  • Birth size and early pneumonia predict linear growth among HIV‐exposed uninfected infants

    Open AccessE Deichsel, Patricia B Pavlinac et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2019

    Stunting remains a global health priority, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Identifying determinants of linear growth in HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU) infants can inform interventions to prevent stunting in this vulnerable population. HIV-infected mothers and their uninfected infants were followed monthly from pregnancy to 12-month post-partum in Nairobi, Kenya. Mixed-effects models estimated the change in length-for-age z-score (LAZ) from birt…

  • Health care-seeking behaviour of HIV-infected mothers and male partners in Nairobi, Kenya

    Open AccessAlison L Drake, Suzanne Wilson et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2015

    Health care-seeking behaviours of HIV-infected mothers in sub-Saharan Africa are poorly characterised and typically focus on individual health conditions rather than overall health. We conducted a qualitative study to understand how HIV-infected mothers, their male partners and their HIV-exposed infants seek medical services. We performed 32 in-depth interviews (17 female, 15 male) and four focus group discussions among HIV-infected post-partum w…

  • Prevalence, perceptions, and correlates of pediatric HIV disclosure in an HIV treatment program in Kenya

    Grace John‐Stewart, Grace C John-Stewart et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2013

    Disclosure to HIV-infected children regarding their diagnosis is important as expanding numbers of HIV-infected children attain adolescence and may become sexually active. In order to define correlates of pediatric disclosure and facilitate development of models for disclosure, we conducted a cross-sectional survey of primary caregivers of HIV-1 infected children aged 6-16 years attending a pediatric HIV treatment program in Nairobi, Kenya. We co…

  • Delayed initiation of antiretroviral therapy among HIV-discordant couples in Kenya

    Talia R Kahn, Michelle Desmond et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2013

    Timely initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) is particularly important for HIV-discordant couples because viral suppression greatly reduces the risk of transmission to the uninfected partner. To identify issues and concerns related to ART initiation among HIV-discordant couples, we recruited a subset of discordant couples participating in a longitudinal study in Nairobi to participate in in-depth interviews and focus group discussions about …
