The experience of trial participation disclosure among sex workers in a phase IIb HIV vaccine trial
Globally, HIV vaccine clinical trials are conducted in the quest for an effective preventive vaccine. Volunteers’ participation is vital to the success of these trials. However, disclosing involvement in a vaccine trial may have significant consequences, potentially affecting key aspects such as recruitment, retention, and overall engagement. This study aimed to explore the experiences of disclosure and non-disclosure of participation in a Phase …
I have the vaccine in my body”
The knowledge gained on HIV preventive measures by FSW after participation in the trial was valued. However, continued engagement in risky sexual practices and poor compliance with HIV preventive measures highlights the need for continued risk-reduction interventions while searching for an effective HIV vaccine
The process of harmonizing competency-based curricula for medicine and nursing degree programmes
In many low- and middle-income countries, there seems to be a mismatch between graduate skills and healthcare industry requirements due to variability in curricula. With the current increased global demand for competent health profession graduates, harmonizing competency-based curricula (CBC) is necessary to address this mismatch. This paper describes how three health professions training universities in Tanzania and their two long-standing Unite…
Pharmacy refill adherence outperforms self-reported methods in predicting HIV therapy outcome in resource-limited settings
Pharmacy refill has the potential to predict virological failure and to identify patients to be considered for viral load monitoring and HIVDR testing in RLS
Gender differences in HIV disease progression and treatment outcomes among HIV patients one year after starting antiretroviral treatment (ART) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
We observed women were starting treatment at a less advanced disease stage, but they had a lower socioeconomical status. After one year, both men and women had similar clinical and immunological conditions. It is not clear why women lose their immunological advantage over men despite a better virological treatment response. We recommend continuous follow up of this and more cohorts of patients to better understand the underlying causes for these …

Maternal and neonatal colonisation of group B streptococcus at Muhimbili National Hospital in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Our findings seem to suggest that a quarter of pregnant women attending ANC clinic at MNH and approximately 10% of their newborns are colonised with GBS. All isolates were found to be sensitive to vancomycin and ampicillin which seem to be the most effective antibiotics for the time being. However there is a need for continuous antibiotics surveillance of GBS to monitor trend of resistance. The high isolation frequency of GBS among pregnant women…
Comparing Couples’ and Individual Voluntary Counseling and Testing for HIV at Antenatal Clinics in Tanzania
University partnership to address the shortage of healthcare professionals in Africa
The shortage of qualified health professionals is a major obstacle to achieving better health outcomes in many parts of the world, particularly in Africa. The role of health science universities in addressing this shortage is to provide quality education and continuing professional development opportunities for the healthcare workforce. Academic institutions in Africa, however, are also short of faculty and especially under-resourced. We describe…
Surveillance of HIV and syphilis infections among antenatal clinic attendees in Tanzania-2003/2004
The high HIV prevalence observed among the ANC clinic attendees in Tanzania call for expansion of current voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) services and access to antiretroviral drugs (ARV) in the clinics. There is also a need for modification of obstetric practices and infant feeding options in HIV infection in order to prevent mother to child transmission of HIV. To increase uptake to HIV testing the opt-out strategy in which all clients …
Estimating and projecting HIV prevalence and Aids deaths in Tanzania using antenatal surveillance data
The fact that the number of new infections is projected to increase steadily to reach 250,000 per year in 2010 calls for more concerted efforts to combat the spread of HIV infection particularly in the rural areas where the infrastructure needed for prevention programmes such as counseling and testing, condom accessibility and AIDS information is less developed
Seroprevalence of human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B and C viruses and syphilis infections among blood donors at the Muhimbili National Hospital in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania
The high (15.9%) seroprevalence of blood-borne infections in blood donated at MNH calls for routine screening of blood donors for HBV, HCV, HIV and syphilis and for strict selection criteria of donors, with emphasis on getting young voluntary donors and for establishment of strict guidelines for blood transfusions
HIV Counseling and Testing of Pregnant Women in Sub-Saharan Africa
The aim of this study was to determine the acceptability of HIV counseling and testing and participation in a mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission intervention study using antiretroviral therapy in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, one of the sites for the Joint United Nations Program on AIDS (UNAIDS) multicenter Petra trial. HIV testing was offered to all pregnant women who visited three prenatal clinics in Dar es Salaam before 34 weeks' gestation. Group o…
Health care seeking behaviour for sexually transmitted diseases among commercial sex workers in Morogoro, Tanzania
A qualitative study was conducted in a community of 100 female, self-employed commercial sex workers (CSWs), in Morogoro township, Tanzania. Data was gathered through key informant interviews and open-ended questionnaires. Respondents had extensive experiential knowledge of STDs and HIV/AIDS. They pursued several different avenues in attempting to prevent STDs including eating nutritiously to enhance immunologic status, using condoms, and vaginal…
