Integrating HPV vaccination into ART clinics
People living with HIV are more likely to have persistent HPV infections, increasing the risk of developing HPV-related cancers (e.g., cervical cancer). The HPV vaccination offers protection against such cancers. However, administering the HPV vaccination according to the recommended schedule for adolescents who are living with HIV holds challenges. ART clinics may provide opportune locations in places with high burden of HIV. In our 5-year study…

Virtual voices
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence is suboptimal among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM). Online interventions that incorporate social support represent new opportunities to improve adherence.

Within the social support messages, half of the time participants sough…
HIV testing and ethnicity among adolescent girls and young women aged 15–24 years in Ghana

The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between ethnicity and HIV testing among AGYW in Ghana. The 2014 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey data were used and analyses were restricted to 3325 female participants aged 15–24 years. Chi-squared tests and a logistic regression m…
Perceptions of Covid-19 self-testing and recommendations for implementation and scale-up among Black/African Americans
Findings showed that most participants considered COVID-19 ST valuable for encouraging COVID-19 testing. However, cost and accuracy concerns may pose barriers. Future work should consider implementing interventions that leverage the benefits of COVID-19 ST and further assess the extent to which these identified facilitators and barriers may influence COVID-19 ST uptake

Using a cross-sectional, exploratory design, we conducted 41 focus groups with members of Community Health Advisory Groups (CHAGs) and youth groups and 19 semi-structured interviews with local and district government officials, project staff, and national s…
