  • Values and preferences of female sex workers in Zimbabwe for long-acting injectable pre-exposure prophylaxis and the dapivirine vaginal ring

    Open AccessFortunate Machingura, Marc d'Elbée et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    INTRODUCTION: Female sex workers (FSWs) in sub-Saharan Africa are at high risk of HIV acquisition. Here we explore the values and preferences of Zimbabwean FSW for long-acting pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). METHODS: We employed mixed methods; focus group discussions (FGD) (n=15), a respondent-driven sampling (RDS) survey (n=4444) from 22 sites across Zimbabwe and a nested discrete choice experiment (DCE) (n=435) conducted in 4/22 sites in 2021.…

  • HIV Prevalence, Virological Suppression, and Consistent Condom Use Among Social Venue-Going Men in Zimbabwe

    Open AccessGalven Maringwa, Sungai T Chabata et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2026

    Men attending social venues face barriers to accessing HIV prevention and care services. These venues-such as bars, guesthouses, nightclubs, and transport hubs-facilitate new sexual partnerships but lack cohesive social networks, making it challenging to design and implement effective HIV prevention strategies. Men who attend social venues are more likely to pay for sex, potentially increasing their risk of acquiring or transmitting HIV. However,…

  • Condomless sexual encounters among female sex workers included in a longitudinal coital diary study in Zimbabwe

    Open AccessGalven Maringwa, Tatenda Kujeke et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Condomless sex was common and varied based on FSW age, partner type, experiencing violence during sex, and KP programme contact. These findings emphasize the need for continued condom promotion, counseling, violence mitigation, and training in condom negotiation skills especially given the heightened risk of HIV transmission among FSWs

  • The impact of the DREAMS partnership on HIV incidence among young women who sell sex in two Zimbabwean cities

    Open AccessSungai T Chabata, B Hensen et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    INTRODUCTION: Young women who sell sex (YWSS) in Zimbabwe remain at high risk of HIV infection. Effective HIV prevention strategies are needed. Through support to access a combination of evidence-based interventions, including oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), the Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored and Safe (DREAMS) partnership aimed to reduce new HIV infections among adolescent girls and young women by 40% over 24 months. …

  • Innovative demand creation strategies to increase voluntary medical male circumcision uptake

    Open AccessWebster Mavhu, Melissa Neuman et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    INTRODUCTION: Reaching men aged 20-35 years, the group at greatest risk of HIV, with voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) remains a challenge. We assessed the impact of two VMMC demand creation approaches targeting this age group in a randomised controlled trial (RCT). METHODS: We conducted a 2×2 factorial RCT comparing arms with and without two interventions: (1) standard demand creation augmented by human-centred design (HCD)-informed app…

  • Changes Over Time in HIV Prevalence and Sexual Behaviour Among Young Female Sex-Workers in 14 Sites in Zimbabwe, 2013–2016

    Open AccessSungai T Chabata, B Hensen et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2019

    Young female sex-workers (FSW) aged 18-24 are at high risk of HIV due to high numbers of sexual partners, difficulty negotiating condom use, increased risk of gender-based violence, and limited access to services. Here we describe changes in sexual behaviours among young FSW across Zimbabwe between 2013 and 2016, and risk factors for prevalent HIV in 2013 and 2016. FSW ≥ 18 years were recruited using respondent-driven sampling in 14 sites across …

  • Enhancing national prevention and treatment services for sex workers in Zimbabwe

    Open AccessJoanna Busza, Tarisai Chiyaka et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2019References: 57

    Targeted HIV interventions for female sex workers (FSW) combine biomedical technologies, behavioural change and community mobilization with the aim of empowering FSW and improving prevention and treatment. Understanding how to deliver combined interventions most effectively in sub-Saharan Africa is critical to the HIV response. The Sisters’ Antiretroviral Programme for Prevention of HIV: an Integrated Response (SAPPH-Ire) randomized controlled tr…

  • Evaluating the impact of DREAMS on HIV incidence among young women who sell sex

    Open AccessB Hensen, Julian Hargreaves et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    HIV prevention products of known efficacy are available. Innovative studies are needed to provide evidence of how to optimise product use through combination interventions to achieve population impact within different contexts. We describe the design of such a study
