Recall and understanding of HIV-related counseling messages among progestin implant and injectable contraception users in Malawi
Some studies have suggested an increased risk of HIV acquisition or transmission with hormonal contraception and potential drug-antiretroviral therapy (ART) interactions. We conducted a randomized clinical trial among Malawian women with and without HIV who were initiating the levonorgestrel (LNG) implant or depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) injectable. Women living with HIV were included to examine contraceptive use in the context of pote…
Contraceptive method continuation among a prospective cohort study of Malawian women on antiretroviral treatment initiating the Levonorgestrel Implant or the Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate Injectab…
Limited prospective data exist for long-term hormonal contraceptive continuation rates among women living with HIV. We conducted a prospective cohort study of women living with HIV in Lilongwe, Malawi from 2017 to 2021 and evaluated their contraceptive method continuation and ART regimens. Participants initiating either depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) injection or levonorgestrel (LNG) implant were followed every 24 weeks for up to 192 we…
Acceptability, feasibility and appropriateness of integrating HPV self-sampling for cervical cancer screening into voluntary family planning services in Malawi
Despite being preventable, the cervical cancer burden remains high in Malawi and other low-income countries. The World Health Organization recommends cervical cancer screening (CCS) using human papillomavirus (HPV) testing. The coverage of HPV-based CCS is low but may increase with self-sampling of vaginal fluid. We assessed the acceptability, feasibility and appropriateness of two models for integrating HPV self-sampling for CCS into family plan…
Exploring perceived barriers and facilitators to using mobile phone technology for delivering HPV test results in malawi
While mobile phone communication has the potential to enhance HPV result delivery, its success relies on overcoming perceived barriers such as low literacy, privacy concerns, inadequate resources, and the need for a supportive implementation environment
Client perspectives and satisfaction with integrating facility and community-based HPV self-sampling for cervical cancer screening with family planning
Our findings highlight that women were satisfied with HPV self-sampling, valuing its convenience, privacy, and cost-effectiveness, which enhanced their willingness to undergo CCS. These findings suggest that integrating CCS self-sampling into FP services could potentially improve CCS uptake in Malawi
HPV vaccination in Africa in the Covid-19 era
Introduction: Although the burden of cervical cancer in Africa is highest, HPV vaccination coverage remains alarmingly low in this region. Providers' knowledge and recommendation are key drivers of HPV vaccination uptake. Yet, evidence about providers' knowledge and recommendation practices about the HPV vaccine against a backdrop of emerging vaccine hesitancy fueled by the COVID-19 pandemic is lacking in Africa. Methods: A cross-sectional study …
Evaluating the impact of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis on pregnancy, infant, and maternal health outcomes in Malawi
NCT06158126. The study was prospectively registered (5 December 2023) in ClinicalTrials.gov
Intimate Partner Violence and Engagement in the HIV Care Continuum among Women in Sub-Saharan Africa
Correlates of Dapivirine Vaginal Ring Acceptance among Women Participating in an Open Label Extension Trial
Women’s perspectives on relationship dynamics with their partners and their role in HIV acquisition, HIV disclosure, hormonal contraceptive uptake, and condom use
Background : Limited information exists about relationship dynamics and their role in HIV acquisition, HIV disclosure, hormonal contraceptive uptake, and condom use among women in Malawi. Methods : Ninety-seven women aged 18-45 years were randomly assigned to initiate the depot medroxyprogesterone acetate injectable or levonorgestrel implant from May 2014 to April 2015 in Lilongwe, Malawi. Women were recruited after randomisation to participate i…
