  • Who does tracing work for? Characteristics of clients successfully re-engaged in ART care in sub-Saharan Africa after a tracing intervention

    Open AccessAnushka Reddy Marri, Allison Morgan et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Tracing HIV treatment clients who have interrupted or disengaged from care is a common, guideline-recommended practice globally. Most guidelines prioritize tracing based on clinical condition or HIV transmission risk, not likelihood of client traits that may affect return to care after tracing. Targeting tracing to those most likely to return could increase efficiency substantially. We conducted a systematic review to identify characteristics of …

  • Patterns of engagement in care during clients’ first 12 months after HIV treatment initiation in Zambia

    Open AccessMariet Benade, Mhairi Maskew et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    BACKGROUND: The first year after HIV treatment initiation or re-initiation is the period of highest risk of a treatment interruption or disengagement, yet little is known about the timing, patterns and effects of interruptions in the early treatment period. METHODS: Using routinely collected electronic medical record data from 543 Zambian facilities from 2018 to 2023, we described patterns of engagement during the first year of HIV treatment. We …

  • Characteristics and six-month viral load suppression of clients presenting with advanced HIV disease in South Africa

    Open AccessElizabeth Kachingwe, Nyasha Mutanda et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Despite advances in antiretroviral therapy (ART), a notable proportion of individuals still present with advanced HIV disease (AHD) at treatment initiation, defined by CD4

  • Drivers of disengagement from care during the first six months on antiretroviral therapy for HIV in South Africa

    Open AccessMhairi Maskew, Nyasha Mutanda et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    For clients on HIV treatment in sub-Saharan Africa, early disengagement from care is a critical obstacle to achieving UNAIDS’s second 95 target. While South Africa’s Differentiated Service Delivery Guideline on Fast Track Initiation and Counseling (FTIC) defines normative procedures, the impact of implementation and drivers of disengagement remain unclear. The PREFER mixed-methods study enrolled a prospective cohort of adult clients initiating AR…

  • Primary healthcare providers’ perspectives on six-month dispensing of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in South Africa

    Open AccessVinolia Ntjikelane, Amy Huber et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2025

    BACKGROUND: Many African countries have increased the dispensing duration of antiretroviral therapy (ART) from 3 months to 6 months for established HIV treatment clients. OBJECTIVE: To assess South African healthcare providers' views on the benefits and challenges of the current maximum ART dispensing duration (3-month, 3MMD) and of potential 6-month dispensing (6MMD) to help inform South Africa about whether to move from 3MMD to 6MMD. METHODS: W…

  • Experiences of Testing Negative or Positive for HIV in Malawi, South Africa, and Zambia

    Open AccessNyasha Mutanda, Allison Morgan et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2025

    HIV testing services (HTS) increase HIV status awareness and serve as the gateway to prevention and treatment. Understanding clients' perspectives when accessing facility-based HTS is important to ensure comprehensive service provision, improve linkage to care, and ultimately contribute to better health outcomes. We surveyed a convenience sample of adults testing negative and positive at 42 health facilities in Malawi, South Africa, and Zambia fr…

  • Experiences and Preferences in Zambia and South Africa for Delivery of HIV Treatment During a Client’s First Six Months

    Open AccessNyasha Mutanda, Allison Morgan et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2025

    Disengagement from antiretroviral therapy (ART) is highest in the early treatment period (≤ 6 months after initiation/re-initiation), but low intensity models designed to increase retention generally exclude these clients. We describe client preferences for HIV service delivery in the early treatment period. From 9/2022 to 6/2023, we surveyed adult clients who were initiating or on ART for ≤ 6 months at primary health facilities in South Africa a…

  • Patterns of engagement in care during clients’ first 12 months after HIV treatment initiation in South Africa

    Open AccessMhairi Maskew, Mariet Benade et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Retention on antiretroviral therapy (ART) during the early treatment period is one of the most serious challenges facing HIV programs, but the timing and patterns of early disengagement from care remain poorly understood. We describe patterns of engagement in HIV care during the first year after treatment initiation. We analysed retrospective datasets of routinely collected electronic medical register (EMR) data for ≥18-year-old clients who initi…

  • Assessing compliance with national guidelines in diabetes care

    Open AccessAlana T Brennan, Emma M Kileel et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Diabetes is a major global health issue. We evaluated compliance to laboratory-based management guidelines for diabetes (type 1 and 2), essential for effective treatment and reducing diabetes-related morbidity and mortality. Our study utilized South Africa’s National Health Laboratory Services (NHLS) data, focusing on patients from birth to age 80 years who underwent initial diabetes laboratory testing between January 1, 2012-January 1, 2016.

  • Health systems performance for hypertension control using a cascade of care approach in South Africa, 2011–2017

    Open AccessMariet Benade, Zandile June‐Rose Mchiza et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Hypertension is a major contributor to global morbidity and mortality. In South Africa, the government has employed a whole systems approach to address the growing burden of non-communicable diseases. We used a novel incident care cascade approach to measure changes in the South African health system’s ability to manage hypertension between 2011 and 2017. We used data from Waves 1–5 of the National Income Dynamics Study (NIDS) to estimate trends …

  • Reduction in initiations of drug-sensitive tuberculosis treatment in South Africa during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessMariet Benade, Lawrence Long et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    In response to the global pandemic of COVID-19, South Africa implemented a strict lockdown in March 2020 before its first COVID-19 wave started, gradually lifted restrictions between May and September 2020, and then re-imposed restrictions in December 2020 in response to its second wave. There is concern that COVID-19-related morbidity and mortality, the deprioritization of TB activities, fear of transmission, and societal restrictions led to a r…

  • Adaptation of WHO’s generic tuberculosis patient cost instrument for a longitudinal study in Africa

    Open AccessDenise Evans, Craig van Rensburg et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2021

    The WHO developed a generic ‘TB patient cost survey’ tool and a standardized approach to assess the direct and indirect costs of TB incurred by patients and their households, estimate the proportion of patients experiencing catastrophic costs, and measure the impact of interventions to reduce patient costs. While the generic tool is a facility-based cross-sectional survey, this standardized approach needs to be adapted for longitudinal studies. A…

  • Red Guard Factionalism and the Cultural Revolution in Guangzhou (Canton)

    Stanley RosenBOOKRed Guard Factionalism and the…2019

    When the Chinese Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (GPCR) of the middle and late 1960s burst forth, the initial response both in China and the West seemed primarily to be one of mystification. The spectacle of severe splits among leaders long thought to be compatible, of armed struggles between factional units whose uniform pledges to Chairman Mao and the Party Center appeared to make their similarities greater than their differences, and of …

  • Plato's Republic

    Stanley RosenBOOKPlato's Republic2017

    In this book a distinguished philosopher offers a comprehensive interpretation of Plato’s most controversial dialogue. Treating the Republic as a unity and focusing on the dramatic form as the presentation of the argument, Stanley Rosen challenges earlier analyses of the Republic (including the ironic reading of Leo Strauss and his disciples) and argues that the key to understanding the dialogue is to grasp the author’s intention in composing it,…

  • Thresholds for the cost–effectiveness of interventions

    Open AccessElliot Marseille, Bruce A Larson et al.ARTICLEBulletin of the World Health…2015

    Many countries use the cost-effectiveness thresholds recommended by the World Health Organization's Choosing Interventions that are Cost-Effective project (WHO-CHOICE) when evaluating health interventions. This project sets the threshold for cost-effectiveness as the cost of the intervention per disability-adjusted life-year (DALY) averted less than three times the country's annual gross domestic product (GDP) per capita. Highly cost-effective in…

  • The Role of Eros in Plato's Republic

    Stanley RosenCHAPTERQuarrel Between Philosophy and…2014

    The first part of my hypothesis, then, is simple enough, and would be accepted in principle by most students of Plato: the dramatic structure of the dialogues is an essential part of their philosophical meaning. With respect to the poetic and mathematical aspects of philosophy, we may distinguish three general kinds of dialogue. For example, consider the Sophist and Statesman, where Socrates is virtually silent: the principal interlocutors are ma…

  • The Quarrel Between Philosophy and Poetry

    Stanley Rosen, Stanley Rosen-UndifferentiatedBOOKQuarrel Between Philosophy and…2014

    Now available in paperback, The Quarrel Between Philosophy and Poetry focuses on the theoretical and practical suppositions of the long-standing conflict between philosophy and poetry. Stanley Rosen--one of the leading Plato scholars of our day--examines philosophical activity, questioning whether technical philosophy is a species of poetry, a political program, an interpretation of human existence according to the ideas of 19th and 20th-century …

  • Plato's Symposium

    Stanley Rosen

    This is the first full-length study of the Symposium to be published in English, and one of the first English works on Plato to take its bearings by the dramatic form of the Platonic dialogue, a thesis that was regarded as heterodox at the time but which today is widely accepted by scholars of the most diverse standpoint. Rosen was also one of the first to study in detail the philosophical significance of the phenomenon of concrete human sexualit…
