Violence against children in sub-Saharan Africa
Violence against children (VAC) is recognized as a global public health problem (1). It encompasses all types of violence directed at individuals under 18 years of age, committed by parents, caregivers, peers, romantic partners, or strangers (2). VAC includes all forms of physical and emotional ill-treatment, sexual abuse, neglect, or exploitation that may cause actual or potential harm to a child's health, development, and dignity. Most VAC enco…
Factors associated with the initiation of daily oral pre-exposure prophylaxis among adolescent girls and young women
Background: Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) aged 15-24 years in sub-Saharan Africa continue to face a significant risk of HIV acquisition. Oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) can reduce the likelihood of HIV acquisition by more than 90% when adherence is optimal. The Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-Free, Mentored, and Safe (DREAMS) program, funded by PEPFAR/USAID and implemented by the Project HOPE Namibia (PHN)-led consortium, pr…
Adolescent girls and young women as a critical population for HIV epidemic control in sub-Saharan Africa
Without proper control measures, sub-Saharan African (SSA) adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) aged 15-24 are at high risk of HIV infection. Despite significant progress in the control of the HIV epidemic, most new infections in SSA in 2023 occurred in AGYW. High sexual and reproductive activity in AGYW contributes significantly to the HIV epidemic, making them a priority population for focused prevention efforts that uphold their sexual and …

The use of oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis among people who inject drugs
Globally, it is estimated that 296 million people used illicit drugs in 2021, which was a 23% increase from the number reported in 2011. Of the drug users in 2021, about 13 million were injection drug users. The burden of injection drug use is different in different regions of the world. About 1.3% of the adult population in Eastern Europe inject drugs while 1% in North America also inject drugs. People who inject drugs (PWID) are 35 times more l…
Emerging infectious disease outbreaks in Sub-Saharan Africa
Background: Over the past two decades, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has faced multiple public health emergencies (1). A public health emergency (PHE) is a situation with health consequences too severe for conventional community response (2). Between 2001 and 2022, the region reported 1,800 PHEs, most of them emerging infectious diseases (3). Emerging infectious diseases are new or resurgent diseases in the population (4). Cholera, meningitis, Ebola, …
Redefining HIV care
In 2021, around 38 million people were living with HIV (PLHIV) globally. In the same year, the number of new HIV infections worldwide was 1.5 million, while 650,000 died from AIDS-related illnesses. Low and middle-income nations (LMICs), especially those in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), have been hardest hit by the HIV epidemic. Apart from the death toll, the epidemic severely impacted LMICs’ health systems. The HIV epidemic led to a shortage of heal…

Teenage pregnancy in Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe has a perennial challenge of teenage pregnancies.Despite several years of discussions around ending the problem, reports have continued to emerge of a rise in teenage pregnancies (Nunu et al., 2020).Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the pre-existing risk factors for this problem due to a multitude of factors (Murewanhema et al., 2022).In this correspondence, we highlight the 'wicked nature' of teenage pregnancies and call upon …
