  • Social network strategy (SNS) for HIV testing

    Open AccessOscar Ernest Rwabiyago, Allen Katale et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2024

    Social network strategy (SNS) testing uses network connections to refer individuals at high risk to HIV testing services (HTS). In Tanzania, SNS testing is offered in communities and health facilities. In communities, SNS testing targets key and vulnerable populations (KVP), while in health facilities it complements index testing by reaching unelicited index contacts. Routine data were used to assess performance and trends over time in PEPFAR-sup…

  • Use and awareness of and willingness to self-test for HIV

    Open AccessCheryl Johnson, Melissa Neuman et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    In 2015-16, many Malawian and Zimbabwean men had never tested for HIV. Despite low awareness and minimal HIVST experience, willingness to self-test was high among Zimbabwean men, especially older men with moderate-to-high HIV-related sexual risk. These data provide a valuable baseline against which to investigate population-level uptake of HIVST as programmes scale up. Programmes introducing, or planning to introduce, HIVST should consider includ…

  • Addressing Intimate Partner Violence and Power in Intimate Relationships in HIV Testing Services in Nairobi, Kenya

    Open AccessNicole Haberland, Charity Ndwiga et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2020

    Intimate partner violence (IPV) undermines women's uptake of HIV services and violates their human rights. In a two-arm randomized controlled trial we evaluated a short intervention that went a step beyond IPV screening to discuss violence and power with women receiving HIV testing services during antenatal care (ANC). The intervention included training and support for HIV counselors, a take-home card for clients, and an on-site IPV counselor. On…

  • Use and Acceptability of HIV Self-Testing Among First-Time Testers at Risk for HIV in Senegal

    Open AccessCarrie Lyons, Karleen Coly et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2019

    HIV Self-Testing (HIVST) aims to increase HIV testing coverage and can facilitate reaching the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets. In Senegal, key populations bear a disproportionate burden of HIV and report limited uptake of HIV testing given pervasive stigma and criminalization. In these contexts, HIVST may represent a complementary approach to reach populations reporting barriers to engagement with existing and routine HIV testing services. In this study…
