Systematic dissemination of study findings from local to national stakeholders
Disseminating research findings to potential beneficiaries such as study participants, community members, and stakeholders is a critical component of participatory research. While there is general agreement that dissemination is critical, documented examples of comprehensive dissemination activities are few in the literature. We present a concrete example of a multi-level stakeholder dissemination process from a successful HIV self-testing and li…
HIVST in the presence of a partner among fishermen in Western Kenya
BACKGROUND: HIV self-testing (HIVST) enables individuals to test privately and can serve as an important tool to mitigate stigma and fear of HIV testing and unintended disclosure, especially among men, who have lower voluntary testing rates than women. AIM: Within an intervention study involving distribution of HIVST kits by fishermen to their peers [NCT04772469], we explore the experiences and the motivations of men who chose to self-test for HI…
Motivations for testing and linkage to HIV services following HIV self-testing among fishermen in Kenya
HIV self-testing (HIVST) is a promising strategy to expand testing access for hard-to-reach populations such as Kenyan fishermen. We examined motivations and barriers to HIVST use and linkage to HIV prevention and treatment services (including PrEP or ART), within a social network-based intervention (NCT04772469). We conducted interviews (N = 64) and focus group discussions (N = 4) with fishermen in Siaya County, including 30 “promoters” who dist…
Hazardous alcohol use is associated with sexual behaviors that increase risk for HIV acquisition among fishermen in a high HIV prevalence area of Kenya
Links between hazardous alcohol use and HIV acquisition are well documented, with less known about this relationship among fishermen, a priority group for HIV prevention. We examined associations between hazardous alcohol use and sexual risk behaviors among fishermen in Kenya using 2022 data from 733 fishermen in three Lake Victoria communities. Measures included the AUDIT-C and sexual relationship histories. Logistic regression models assessed a…
High mortality among fishermen along the beaches of lake Victoria
The causes of death were varied, underscoring the need for a multi-disease approach to address the health risks in high-risk occupations like fishing. Since HIV is one of several significant health threats to fishermen, efforts to end HIV must also address other life-threatening conditions
There is no need to leave the beach to test”
While few fishermen had ever used HIVST, this study found high awareness, positive perceptions, and substantial willingness to use and distribute HIVST to other men. The "promoter" model, with known peers engaged in disseminating HIVST information and test kits, shows promise for engaging men in testing
Gaps in Effective HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Screening and Uptake Among Fishermen in Kenya
Despite oral daily HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) effectiveness, uptake remains a challenge. Awareness of one's HIV status and engagement in prevention is essential to interrupting transmission among populations at high risk of HIV. We explored gaps in HIV risk perception, screening, and PrEP uptake among high HIV-risk fishermen living and working along Lake Victoria, Kenya. Data are from the Owete study (NCT04772469), which evaluated the im…
Training Social Network-Central Fishermen in Western Kenya to Distribute HIV Self-Test Kits and Health Facility Referral Vouchers
Low HIV testing among men, particularly highly mobile fishermen, is a persistent challenge. The Owete study (NCT#04772469) used social network-central men (Promoters) to promote testing and linkage to HIV services among social networks of fishermen in western Kenya. The Promoters and fishermen networks were randomised to intervention or control arms. We describe Owete's interactive training approach and Promoters' training experiences for impleme…
