  • Long-Acting HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Preferences Through Pregnancy and the Postpartum Period Among Women in Kenya

    Open AccessTessa Concepcion, Salphine Watoyi et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2026

    Adherence to daily oral HIV PrEP wanes over pregnancy and postpartum and new long-acting injectable HIV PrEP (LAI-PrEP) methods may address barriers to effective use. Understanding changing LAI-PrEP preferences during the perinatal period could inform the integration into maternal healthcare. We used data from a randomized trial of pregnant women initiating daily oral HIV PrEP at five public maternal child health facilities in western Kenya, foll…

  • Assessing the approach to perinatal mental health screening and treatment in maternal-child health clinics in Western Kenya

    Open AccessAsterico Neema, Anna Larsen et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Integrating mental health care into well-attended health services, such as maternal-child health (MCH), offers a promising approach to increasing access to mental health care. To inform integration, we assessed the current approach to screening and treatment of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMAD) in MCH facilities in Western Kenya. We conducted a cross-sectional survey among the facility managers (“in-charges”) at 20 MCH facilities in Wes…

  • Cofactors of earlier uptake of modern postpartum family planning methods in Kenya

    Open AccessNancy Ngumbau, Damaris Kimonge et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    There are limited data on uptake of postpartum family planning (FP), particularly in high HIV prevalence settings. We assessed the timing of modern postpartum FP initiation and the cofactors of earlier uptake using longitudinal data from a clinical trial conducted in Kenya to assess two models of PrEP delivery among pregnant and postpartum women (NCT#03070600). Time to uptake of modern postpartum FP was estimated using survival analysis methods, …

  • Using queueing models as a decision support tool in allocating point-of-care HIV viral load testing machines in Kisumu County, Kenya

    Open AccessYinsheng Wang, Anjuli D Wagner et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2024

    Point-of-care (POC) technologies—including HIV viral load (VL) monitoring—are expanding globally, including in resource-limited settings. Modelling could allow decision-makers to consider the optimal strategy(ies) to maximize coverage and access, minimize turnaround time (TAT) and minimize cost with limited machines. Informed by formative qualitative focus group discussions with stakeholders focused on model inputs, outputs and format, we created…

  • “We can tell a good teacher who cares, understands, and can be confidential about it”

    Open AccessHellen Moraa, Irene Njuguna et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Introduction: Disclosure of one's HIV status to others is often difficult due to the fear of stigma. However, disclosure may facilitate receiving social support. Many youth living with HIV (YLH) are enrolled in school as better treatments have improved the health and survival of children with HIV. There is no structured process for disclosure at school for YLH and their caregivers. We sought to understand school disclosure experiences among YLH a…

  • When they are all grown, I will tell them”

    Open AccessCyrus Mugo, Olivia Firdawsi et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    Child's age is a key consideration for parents to disclose their own HIV status to their children. While parents were open to disclosing their HIV status to their children, there is a need to address barriers including anticipated stigma, and fear that disclosure will cause distress to their children

  • Addressing the Know-Do Gap in Adolescent HIV

    Open AccessKristin Beima‐Sofie, Irene Njuguna et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2023

    Implementation science (IS) uses systematic methods to close gaps between research and practice by identifying and addressing barriers to implementation of evidence-based interventions (EBIs). To reach UNAIDS HIV targets, IS can support programs to reach vulnerable populations and achieve sustainability. We studied the application of IS methods in 36 study protocols that were part of the Adolescent HIV Prevention and Treatment Implementation Scie…

  • Implementation Science to Respond to the Covid-19 Pandemic

    Open AccessArianna Rubin Means, Anjuli D Wagner et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2020

    The COVID-19 pandemic continues to expand globally, requiring massive public health responses from national and local governments. These bodies have taken heterogeneous approaches to their responses, including when and how to introduce and enforce evidence-based interventions-such as social distancing, hand-washing, personal protective equipment (PPE), and testing. In this commentary, we reflect on opportunities for implementation science to cont…

  • Newly diagnosed HIV positive children

    Jillian Neary, Irene Njuguna et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2020

    Newly diagnosed HIV positive children may be unique index cases to identify undiagnosed parents. Data was used from the Pediatric Urgent Start of HAART (NCT02063880) trial, which enrolled hospitalized, ART-naïve, HIV positive children ages 0–12 years in Kenya. Exact McNemar’s tests were used to compare proportions of mothers and fathers tested for HIV, linked to care, and on ART at baseline and 6 months. This analysis included 87 newly diagnosed …

  • From research to international scale-up

    Open AccessCyrus Mugo, Irene Njuguna et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2020References: 24

    Stakeholder engagement between researchers, policymakers and practitioners is critical for the successful translation of research into policy and practice. The Counseling and Testing for Children at Home (CATCH) study evaluated a paediatric index case testing model, targeting the children of HIV-infected adults in care in Kenya. Researchers collaborated with stakeholders in the planning, execution and evaluation, and dissemination phases of CATCH…

  • Influence and involvement of support people in adolescent and young adult HIV testing

    Jillian Neary, Anjuli D Wagner et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2019

    HIV incidence and mortality are high among adolescents and young adults (AYA) in sub-Saharan Africa, but testing rates are low. Understanding how support people (SP), such as peers, partners, or parents, influence AYA may improve HIV testing uptake. AYA aged 14-24 seeking HIV testing at a referral hospital in Nairobi, Kenya completed a post-test survey assessing the role of SP. Among 1062 AYA, median age was 21. Overall, 12% reported their decisi…

  • Pilot evaluation of a standardized patient actor training intervention to improve HIV care for adolescents and young adults in Kenya

    Open AccessCyrus Mugo, Kate Wilson et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2019

    Poor retention in HIV care remains a major problem for Adolescents and Young Adults (AYA). A Standardized Patient (SP) clinical training intervention was developed to improve healthcare worker (HCW) "adolescent-friendly" competencies in Kenya. Professional actors were trained to portray HIV-infected AYA according to standardized scripts. HCWs completed a 2-day SP training that included didactic sessions, 7 video-recorded SP encounters, and group …
