Implementation strategies for integrating non-communicable disease care into primary healthcare settings in sub-Saharan Africa
This sytematic review synthesised evidence on implementation strategies for integrating non-communicable disease (NCD) care into primary healthcare (PHC) in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the barriers and facilitators influencing implementation, the effects on service delivery and patient outcomes, and implications for scale-up and sustainability. Our review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines using the Population–Exposure–Outcome (PEO) framework. Studies…
Tuberculosis comorbidities, multimorbidity and mortality amongst adults in South Africa
Tuberculosis (TB) comorbidities and multimorbidity - the presence of two or more concurrent diseases or health conditions - are major contributors to TB incidence and mortality. We investigated the prevalence and associated mortality of TB comorbidities and multimorbidity in South Africa. We conducted a prospective cohort study of adults ≥15 years with bacteriologically-confirmed pulmonary TB, nested within a trial in two provinces of South Afric…
Long-acting HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis integrated with community-based sexual and reproductive health services in South Africa (Lapis)
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier-NCT06250504. Registered: 01 February 2024
Repeat Behavioral Counseling, With and Without Combination Nicotine Replacement Therapy, for Smoking Cessation Among People With HIV in South Africa
The Nicotine Metabolite Ratio and Response to Smoking Cessation Treatment Among People Living with HIV Who Smoke in South Africa
The nicotine metabolite ratio (NMR) has been informative in selecting treatment choices for nicotine dependence and increasing treatment efficacy in Western settings; however, the clinical utility of the NMR among smokers in low-resource settings remains unclear. Prospective analysis was conducted using data from a randomized controlled trial of smoking cessation among adults living with HIV, to examine the association between the NMR and respons…
Group-based trajectory modeling to describe the geographical distribution of tuberculosis notifications
GBTM is a powerful tool for identifying geographic clusters of varying levels of TB notification when longitudinal data on the number of TB diagnoses are available. This analysis can inform the planning and evaluation of intervention strategies
A Cross-Sectional Analysis of the Nicotine Metabolite Ratio and Its Association with Sociodemographic and Smoking Characteristics among People with HIV Who Smoke in South Africa
The nicotine metabolite ratio (NMR) is associated with race/ethnicity but has not been evaluated among smokers in the African region. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from a large randomized, controlled trial for smoking cessation among people with HIV (PWH) in South Africa. Urine samples were analyzed for the NMR and evaluated as a binary variable using a cutoff value of the fourth quartile to determine the fastest metabo…

A cross-sectional study measuring contact patterns using diaries in an urban and a rural community in South Africa, 2018
Age played an important role in the number and duration of contact events, with children at the rural site having almost double the contact rate compared to the urban site. These contact rates can be utilized in mathematical models to assess transmission dynamics of infectious diseases in similar communities
Secure Delivery of HIV-Related and Tuberculosis Laboratory Results to Patient Cell Phones
Feasibility of community-based HIV self-screening in South Africa
Unsupervised HIVSS was by far the most selected and utilised HIVSS method. Linkages to primary and confirmatory testing for the unsupervised HIVSS and further care were low, despite home visits and telephonic reminders
Brief report
Funeral services sector personnel are at risk of contracting infectious diseases and have poor adherence to universal safety precautions. More work needs to be done to understand this industry; however, there is limited information on conducting research within this sector. This manuscript draws on experiences and observations of funeral services study describing lessons learned in the field, particularly emphasizing attempts to engage funeral ho…
Evaluating the cost of adult voluntary medical male circumcision in a mixed (surgical and PrePex) site compared to a hypothetical PrePex-only site in South Africa
BACKGROUND: Several circumcision devices have been evaluated for a safe and simplified male circumcision among adults. The PrePex device was prequalified for voluntary male medical circumcision (VMMC) in May 2013 by the World Health Organization and is expected to simplify the procedure safely while reducing cost. South Africa is scaling up VMMC. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the overall unit cost of VMMC at a mixed site vs. a hypothetical PrePex-only s…
