Expanding HIV self-testing through pharmacies in Bangkok, Thailand
Introduction Thai men who have sex with men (MSM) have faced a notable increase in HIV prevalence, yet access to HIV testing remains low. The Thai Ministry of Public Health launched a demonstration project to assess the feasibility and acceptability of private pharmacy-based HIV self-testing (HIVST) to enhance HIV testing uptake.Methods Between August 2020 and August 2022, MSM aged 18 years and above, residing or working in greater Bangkok, and r…
Piloting the feasibility of a population-based joint TB-HIV survey in KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa, 2019
South Africa bears a high burden of infectious diseases, including intersecting epidemics of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and tuberculosis (TB). Among people living with HIV, TB is the predominant cause of death. Since 2002, South Africa has conducted six national population-based HIV surveys, and its first national TB prevalence survey between 2017 and 2019. Given the epidemiologic overlap of these conditions and dwindling resources, a joi…
Multiple Behaviors Associated with HIV Risk Among Female Sex Workers and Men who have Sex with Men
Sexual and nonsexual violence and mental health among male refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo residing in Kampala, Uganda
We conducted a population-based survey in 2013 in Kampala, Uganda, to examine violence and mental health outcomes among self-settled male refugees from the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Male DRC refugees aged 18+ years were sampled through respondent-driven sampling. Key interview domains included demographics, experiences of sexual and nonsexual violence, social support, PTSD, depression and suicide ideation. Data analysis was weig…
Conflict-related violence and mental health among self-settled Democratic Republic of Congo female refugees in Kampala, Uganda – a respondent driven sampling survey
Refugee women self-settled in Kampala reported high lifetime experiences of violence and traumatic events including rape, as well as high rates of PTSD and depression. Future programming addressing self-settled refugees and their settlement in host countries may benefit from including local and national integration strategies
Positive Influences and Challenges for the Deaf Community Navigating Access to HIV Information, Testing, and Treatment in Kampala, Uganda
How men who have sex with men experience HIV health services in Kampala, Uganda
In sub-Saharan Africa, men who have sex with men (MSM) are socially, largely hidden and face disproportionate risk for HIV infection. Attention to HIV epidemics among MSM in Uganda and elsewhere in sub-Saharan Africa has been obscured by repressive governmental policies, criminalisation, stigma and the lack of basic epidemiological data describing these epidemics. In this paper, we aim to explore healthcare access, experiences with HIV prevention…
Using geographical data and rolling statistics for diagnostics of respondent-driven sampling
HIV and transgender women in Kampala, Uganda – Double Jeopardy
Transgender women in Kampala face stigma, high HIV acquisition or transmission risk and poor access to health services. We explored the HIV and gender-related contexts of their lives. Snowball sampling was used to enrol 45 participants between July-October 2013. Data collection included audio-computer-assisted self-interviews, qualitative face-to-face interviews and blood tests for HIV and CD4. One in five respondents tested HIV positive. Emergen…
Correlates of Undiagnosed HIV Infection and Retesting Among Voluntary HIV Testing Clients at Mildmay Clinic, Uganda
Burden and characteristics of HIV infection among female sex workers in Kampala, Uganda – a respondent-driven sampling survey
One in three FSW in Kampala is HIV-infected, suggesting a severe HIV epidemic in this population. Intensified interventions are warranted to increase condom use, HIV testing, STI screening, as well as antiretroviral treatment and pre-exposure prophylaxis along with measures to overcome gender-based violence
Men Who Have Sex with Men in Kampala, Uganda
Prevalence of Rape and Client-Initiated Gender-Based Violence Among Female Sex Workers
Risk factors for unplanned sex among university students in Kampala, Uganda
There is inadequate in-depth information on the risk factors for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among university students in Uganda, and more so of those that are unrelated to alcohol and drug use. ‘Unplanned sex’ is defined here as sexual intercourse that a person or individual decides out of free will as undesired. We conducted cross-sectional in-depth qualitative study with 23 students (52% female…
