  • Using drones to improve care for HIV-exposed children in Conakry, Republic of Guinea

    Open AccessGabrièle Laborde-Balen, Oumou Hawa Diallo et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    In Conakry, Guinea, like many other African capitals, traffic congestion is a major obstacle to transporting blood samples from peripheral health centres to laboratories where tests are centralised. This situation complicates early HIV testing of HIV-exposed children (i.e., born to HIV-positive mothers), even though the World Health Organization recommends treating HIV-positive children before the age of two months to reduce mortality. The use of…

  • Implementing long-acting injectable antiretroviral treatments in Senegal

    Open AccessSéverine Carillon, Gabrièle Laborde-Balen et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2024

    Long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy (LAI-ART) can offer people living with HIV (PLWH) a promising alternative to daily oral therapy. This article highlights the issues, challenges and conditions related to introducing LAI-ART into the social lives of PLWH and HIV-care practices in Senegal. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 42 PLWH in two hospital care units in Dakar and with 13 healthcare providers and 6 peer educators. Int…

  • Improving early infant diagnosis for HIV-exposed infants using unmanned aerial vehicles for blood sample transportation in Conakry, Guinea

    Open AccessMaxime Inghels, Paul Mee et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    BACKGROUND: Early infant diagnosis (EID) for HIV-exposed infants is essential due to high mortality during the first months of their lives. In Conakry (Guinea), timely EID is difficult as traffic congestion prevents the rapid transport of blood samples to the central laboratory. We investigated the cost-effectiveness of transporting EID blood samples by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), also known as drones. METHODS AND FINDINGS: Using Monte Carlo …

  • Acceptability of decentralizing childhood tuberculosis diagnosis in low-income countries with high tuberculosis incidence

    Open AccessBasant Joshi, Yara Voss de Lima et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Decentralizing childhood tuberculosis services, including diagnosis, is now recommended by the WHO and could contribute to increasing tuberculosis detection in high burden countries. However, implementing microbiological tests and clinical evaluation could be challenging for health care workers (HCWs) in Primary Health Centers (PHCs) and even District Hospitals (DHs). We sought to assess the acceptability of decentralizing a comprehensive childho…

  • Challenges of HIV Self-Test Distribution for Index Testing When HIV Status Disclosure Is Low

    Open AccessSokhna Boye, 徹子 福田 et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    Context: The rate of HIV status disclosure to partners is low in Mali, a West African country with a national HIV prevalence of 1.2%. HIV self-testing (HIVST) could increase testing coverage among partners of people living with HIV (PLHIV). The AutoTest-VIH, Libre d'accéder à la connaissance de son Statut (ATLAS) program was launched in West Africa with the objective of distributing nearly half a million HIV self-tests from 2019 to 2021 in Côte d…

  • Describing, analysing and understanding the effects of the introduction of HIV self-testing in West Africa through the Atlas programme in Côte d’Ivoire, Mali and Senegal

    Open Accessfor the ATLAS Team, Nicolas Rouveau et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    ATLAS is the first comprehensive study on HIV self-testing in West Africa. The ATLAS programme focuses particularly on the secondary distribution of HIVST. This protocol was approved by three national ethic committees and the WHO's Ethical Research Committee
