Characterising the effects of displacement on gender-based violence among women living with HIV in Ukraine
Open AccessAnita L Wolfe, Mary Anne Roach et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025
INTRODUCTION: Women living with HIV (WLHIV) in conflict zones are at high risk of sexual and physical violence due to instability, stigma and proximity to military personnel. Given sustained ongoing conflict, this study evaluated the relationship between displacement and gender-based violence (GBV), including experiences of sexual violence, abuse by healthcare workers and reproductive coercion among WLHIV in Ukraine. These forms of violence are c…
Profiles of Sexual Economic Exchanges among Women in Kisumu, Kenya
Open AccessMary Anne Roach, Talia A Loeb et al.ARTICLEArchives of Sexual Behavior2025
Sexual economic exchanges, including sex work and transactional sex, have been consistently associated with HIV acquisition among young women in sub-Saharan Africa. Heterogeneity in HIV vulnerability across overlapping types of sexual economic exchange has not been sufficiently explored, limiting appropriate and effective linkage to prevention interventions. From January 2017 to May 2018, cross-sectional data were captured at screening for entry …

Open AccessVicki Chen, Venessa Chen et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025
Young adults living with HIV in Zimbabwe reported twice the lifetime incidence of treatment interruptions and greater levels of internalized and anticipated stigma compared to older adults.

The impact of Covid-19 restrictions on HIV prevention and treatment services for key populations in South Africa
Open AccessDanwei Yao, Naomi Hill et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024
Service provision rebounded from the initial shock created by pandemic-related restrictions, and HIV services were largely maintained for KP in South Africa. These results suggest that HIV service delivery among programs designed for KP was able to be flexible and resilient to the evolving restrictions. The results of this study can inform plans for future pandemics and large-scale disruptions to the delivery of HIV services

Trajectories of fertility intentions among women living with HIV in South Africa
Katherine B Rucinski, Kimberly A Powers et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2021
Fertility intentions are thought to be dynamic among women of reproductive age, yet few studies have assessed fertility intentions over time among women with HIV. We examine temporal patterns of fertility intentions in women with HIV to assess the extent to which fertility intentions - and the corresponding need for safer conception and judicious antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimen selection - vary over time. 850 non-pregnant HIV-positive women …
