Role of self-management among virally suppressed and unsuppressed adolescents living with HIV in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Globally, significant progress toward ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic includes advances in HIV treatment, converting a fatal infection to a chronic disease. Adolescents living with HIV (AWHIV) continue to underachievein HIV viral suppression (VS) needed to remain healthy. This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the role of self-management and related factors in VS among AWHIV aged 15–19 years in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. A total of 658 AWHIV from…
The use of Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) and Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised (BSS-R) in comparing the experiences of mothers with and without HIV in Tanzania
INTRODUCTION: Mothers' experiences at birth and respectful maternal care are critical to achieving Sustainable Development Goal number 3 in Tanzania. However, little is known about the differences in perinatal experience quality between women with and without HIV. To address this gap, we compared mothers' experience at birth among women with and without HIV. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted in four Reproductive and Child Health C…
Generalized and Covid-19 related anxiety among Tanzanian adolescents with HIV and association with HIV outcomes during the Covid-19 pandemic
Low levels of generalized and COVID-19 related anxiety were reported among Tanzanian AWH. Scaling up integrated screening and management of GAD into HIV care for AWH could improve VLS among this population
Healthcare provider perspectives on barriers and facilitators to integration of cardiovascular disease-related care into HIV care and treatment clinics in urban Tanzania
Background: The increase in the dual burden of HIV and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), calls for the provision of integrated HIV/CVD care. This study aimed to explore barriers and facilitators to the integration of HIV/CVD care within HIV care and treatment clinics (CTCs) in urban, Tanzania. Methods: Between March and April 2023, we conducted 12 key informant interviews with healthcare providers at six HIV CTCs in urban, Tanzania. Guided by the Co…
Patient reported experience measures on HIV viral load testing at public health facilities in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
While viral load (VL) testing is critical to effective treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), little is known about patients’ experiences with, and barriers to VL-testing in the context of HIV infection. We assessed patient reported experience measures (PREMs) on VL-testing in public HIV clinics in Tanzania. In a cross-sectional convergent mixed method study, we collected information on VL test related PREMs, clinical and sociodemograph…
Preparedness of HIV care and treatment clinics for the management of concomitant non–communicable diseases
A number of gaps were identified in this sample of HIV clinics that currently limit the ability of Tanzanian healthcare workers to diagnose and manage NCD in the context of HIV care. Integrated NCD and HIV care may be successfully achieved in these settings with basic measures incorporated into existing infrastructures at minimal added expense, i.e., improving access to basic functioning equipment, introducing standardized treatment guidelines, a…
