Evaluation of Sierra Leone’s Elimination of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV program, 2024
The elimination of Mother-to-Child Transmission (eMTCT) Cascade Analysis is a key intervention to understand the effectiveness and gaps in national HIV prevention program for pregnant women and their infants. This comprehensive evaluation aimed to assess the step-by-step processes of eMTCT services, from the entry points at antenatal care (ANC) to outcomes for HIV-exposed infants (HEIs) and propose actionable recommendations using the life stages…
Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Hesitancy and Uptake Among Adolescent Girls Living with HIV in Sierra Leone
Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is critical for preventing cervical cancer among women living with HIV. Yet, uptake among adolescent girls needed to prevent cervical cancer remains understudied in low-income countries. This cross-sectional study examined HPV vaccination rates among adolescent girls (aged 10-18 years), sociodemographic predictors and perceptions related to HPV vaccination among their caregivers. A total of 249 caregivers of…
Post-Omicron Sars-CoV-2 antibody prevalence in Sierra Leone
Based on a serosurvey conducted in March 2021, Barrie and colleagues published the first nationally representative SARS-CoV-2 serosurvey in Africa, estimating a SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence of 2.6% in Sierra Leone, 43 times higher than the reported number of cases at that time. Over the following two years, increasingly transmissible variants—specifically Delta and Omicron—proliferated across the globe, and their impact in Africa is poorly understoo…
Impact of Covid-19 on the Utilization of HIV Testing and Linkage Services in Sierra Leone
The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the delivery of essential health services globally. In this study, we aimed to assess the impact of the pandemic on HIV testing and linkage services at three public health facilities in Freetown, Sierra Leone. We conducted a retrospective study to assess the impact of COVID-19 on HIV testing and linkage to treatment services (HTS) at Connaught Hospital (CH-tertiary), Lumley Government Hospital (LGH-seconda…
