Intersectional stigma and resilience in the uptake of cervical cancer prevention services in Nigeria
BACKGROUND: Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women in Africa, but stigma often delays cervical cancer prevention. We explore the perceptions, enablers and nurturers through the lens of intersectional stigma in the uptake of cervical cancer prevention services in Nigeria. METHOD: Indepth interviews and focus group discussions were conducted among women aged 30-65 years and girls aged 9-26 years in Lagos, Nigeria. Data we…
Improving training on hepatitis B research in Nigeria
We organized an Innovation Bootcamp for young people in Nigeria to develop strategies promoting the uptake of the hepatitis B birth dose vaccine among newborns, which remains low, with an estimated coverage of 52%. This event was a collaborative, cross-disciplinary capacity-building platform to generate creative solutions addressing barriers to Hepatitis B vaccine uptake. The purpose of this study was to describe the bootcamp activities that addr…
User-centered adaption of Peernaija , A novel mhealth application integrating medication reminders with virtual peer support and social/financial incentives to improve medication adherence
Youth living with HIV (YLWH) have high rates of virologic failure due to medication non-adherence. PEERNaija is a novel, gamified mobile health (mHealth) application designed with user-centered principles to improve medication adherence by integrating medication reminders with social and financial incentives, virtual peer social support and early clinic outreach for non-adherent YLWH in Nigeria. Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) were conducted to id…
An innovation bootcamp model for developing youth-led HIV self-testing delivery strategies in Nigeria
Introduction: Many designathons, hackathons, and similar participatory events suffer from minimal training and support after the events. Responding to this need, we organized a health innovation bootcamp: an intensive, team-based apprenticeship training with research and entrepreneurial rigor among young people in Nigeria to develop HIV self-testing (HIVST) delivery strategies for Nigerian youth. The purpose of this paper was to describe an innov…
A multicenter survey of asymptomatic cryptococcal antigenemia among patients with advanced HIV disease in Nigeria
As of 2018, cryptococcal antigen (CrAg) screening in patients with advanced human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease (AHD) was not routinely implemented in Nigeria despite being recommended in the national HIV treatment guidelines. Our aim was to determine the prevalence and risk factors for asymptomatic cryptococcal antigenemia in adult people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Nigeria to advocate for the implementation of routine CrAg screening. A de…
Young people’s preferences for HIV self-testing services in Nigeria
HIV self-testing preferences among Nigerian youth appear to be influenced by several factors including lower cost, less invasive testing method, location of testing, and linkage to care and support post testing. Findings underscore the need to address young people's HIV self-testing preferences as a foundation for implementing programs and research to increase the uptake of HIVST
Their place is beyond the town's border”
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health challenge in Nigeria with a minimum yield of various TB control efforts due to sociocultural determinants of health including TB-associated stigma. Therefore, to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal targets for TB control, an understanding and reduction in TB-associated stigma is necessary. The study aims to explore the perspective of community members and investigate the possible ways of mitiga…
