    Open AccessMalebogo Tlhajoane, John W Eaton et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2017

    The correlation between mental health and sexual risk behaviours for HIV infection remains largely unknown in low and middle income settings. The present study determined the prevalence of psychological distress (PD) in a sub-Saharan African population with a generalized HIV epidemic, and investigated associations with HIV acquisition risk and uptake of HIV services using data from a cross-sectional survey of 13,252 adults.

Children who had moved household w…

  • InterVA-4 as a public health tool for measuring HIV/Aids mortality

    Open AccessPeter Bya, Clara Calvert et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2013

There is therefore a great need for reliable and valid public health tools for assessing AIDS mortality. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this article is to validate the InterVA-4 verbal autopsy (VA) interpretative model within African populations where HIV sero-status is…
