“ I feel like a guest on the other side ”
Adolescents and young adults living with HIV (AYAH) face significant challenges when transitioning from adolescent to adult HIV services. Up to 50% of AYAH do not remain engaged in care after transition, which may result in virological failure. We sought to understand challenges to clinic transitions and youth-identified solutions to optimize health outcomes. We conducted three focus group discussions (FGDs) (n = 33) and a 4-day participatory, hu…
Development and Validation of a Novel Risk Calculator to Predict Sub-optimal HIV Outcomes Among Pregnant and Postpartum Women with HIV in Kenya
No tool currently exists to predict the cumulative risk of suboptimal clinical outcomes among pregnant and postpartum women with HIV (PPWH). This study sought to develop and validate a parsimonious risk calculator capable of predicting disengagement from care and HIV treatment failure among PPWH. We created the risk calculator using data from 1,331 PPWH from Southwestern Kenya (Homabay, Migori, and Kisumu Counties) in the Mother Infant Visit Adhe…
User-informed tailoring of electronic and in-person peer navigation strategies to improve retention in HIV care for adolescents and young adults
Poor adherence and retention in HIV care remain a major challenge among adolescents and young adults (AYA) living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Strategies are urgently required to support AYA to remain in care for better health outcomes. We explored AYA preferences regarding the format and delivery of electronic and in-person peer navigation to improve HIV care outcomes. This formative qualitative study was conducted among AYA enrolled in…
A youth-centred approach to improving engagement in HIV services
Introduction Innovative interventions are needed to improve HIV outcomes among adolescents and young adults (AYAs) living with HIV. Engaging AYAs in intervention development could increase effectiveness and youth acceptance, yet research is limited. We applied human-centred design (HCD) to refine adherence-support interventions pretrial and assessed HCD workshop acceptability
From ‘half-dead’ to being ‘free’
In sub-Saharan Africa, self-disclosure of HIV-positive status may be a pivotal action for improving access to prevention of mother-to-child transmission services. However, understanding of HIV stigma and disclosure, and their effects on demand for care remains incomplete - particularly in the current context of new antiretroviral therapy guidelines. The purpose of this study was to explore these issues among self-disclosed couples living in south…
Health facility challenges to the provision of Option B+ in western Kenya
Current WHO guidelines recommend lifelong antiretroviral therapy (ART) for all HIV-positive individuals, including pregnant and breastfeeding women (Option B+) in settings with generalized HIV epidemics. While Option B+ is scaled-up in Kenya, insufficient adherence and retention to care could undermine the expected positive impact of Option B+. To explore challenges to the provision of Option B+ at the health facility level, we conducted forty in…
