  • “Since I got the education, I feel like a kind of warrior”

    Open AccessAnat Fuksman, Fortunata Nasuwa et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2026

    Adolescents and young adults with HIV (AYAWH) face challenges with medication adherence and are at risk of mental health (MH) difficulties. Sauti ya Vijana (SYV, The Voice of Youth) is a co-created, peer-led, group-based MH intervention designed to address these needs. This study aimed to: (1) evaluate how participation in SYV impacted AYAWH’s lives in Tanzania and (2) explore AYAWH perspectives and preferences of the intervention. The SYV trial …

  • Experiences of undetectable = untransmittable among couples with different HIV serostatus

    Open AccessElizabeth Senkoro, Timothy R Muwonge et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    HIV serodifferent couples where one partner is living with HIV and the other is not, remain a key population for HIV prevention. Maintaining an undetectable viral load eliminates the risk of sexual HIV transmission, this principle is often summarised as undetectable = untransmittable (U = U). However, the extent to which this principle is understood and utilised by serodifferent couples remains unclear. This study aimed to explore both partners’ …

  • PrEP Cascade and Barriers Among Serodifferent Couples in Rural Tanzania

    Open AccessAnna Eichenberger, Lilian Moshi et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2025

    Global HIV incidence remains high, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) prevents HIV transmission in serodifferent couples until the partner with HIV achieves viral suppression on antiretroviral treatment (ART). This study assessed awareness, uptake, and feasibility of a short, 4 month PrEP course alongside the roll-out of dolutegravir-based ART in rural Tanzania. We included serodifferent couples (≥ 15 years), of w…

  • The impact of geriatric syndromes on quality of life among older people living with HIV in Kampala, Uganda

    Open AccessElizabeth Senkoro, Phoebe Mbabazi et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Objective: Older people living with HIV (OPWH) often have lower quality of life (QoL) compared to general population. Measuring their QoL is an important step in HIV care to ensure they have long healthy lives. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of life and its associated factors among people living with HIV aged 60 years and above in Uganda. Methods: We used a cross-sectional analysis of older people living with HIV (OPWH) enrolled in a pr…

  • Exploring the preferred integration approach for HIV, diabetes and hypertension care and associated barriers and facilitators in Central Tanzania

    Open AccessTiffany E Gooden, Mkhoi L Mkhoi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Timely diagnosis and management of diabetes and hypertension among people living with HIV (PLWH) is imperative; however, many barriers exist within the current model of care for these comorbidities. We aimed to understand how HIV, diabetes, and hypertension care should be delivered and the associated barriers and facilitators for the preferred delivery approach. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 16 PLWH with comorbidities of diabetes a…

  • Effectiveness and acceptance of group therapy as a mental health intervention for people living with HIV in Africa – a scoping literature review

    Raphael Magnolini, Sarah Staehelin et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2024

    Mental health problems are highly prevalent among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), yet mental health care in African countries is scarce. There is growing interest in understanding the effect of group therapy delivery models and task-shifting to support mental health care in African settings. We conducted a scoping review following the PRISMA-ScR statement on group therapy in PLWHA in Africa. We searched PubMed/Medline, Embase, and Google Sch…

  • Barriers and facilitators of people living with HIV receiving optimal care for hypertension and diabetes in Tanzania

    Open AccessTiffany E Gooden, Mkhoi L Mkhoi et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    Organisational/healthcare system, individual and syndemic factors were found to be interlinked with barriers and facilitators that contribute to the prevention, early diagnosis and safe effective care of diabetes and hypertension among PLWH in Tanzania; these findings can inform future initiatives for making small and large health system changes to improve the health of aging PLWH
