    Open AccessMarianna Balampama, Damien De Walque et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2025

    Female sex workers (FSW) are a key population who experience a disproportionately high burden of HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). A growing body of evidence suggests that financial incentives can reduce risky sexual behavior and reduce HIV/STI incidence, however few studies have examined a lottery-based incentive mechanism or been conducted with FSW. We examined the effect of a lottery intervention on combined HIV/HSV2 incidence am…

  • Effect of a Lottery Intervention on Gender-Based Violence among Female Sex Workers in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

    Open AccessRebecca Hémono, Marianna Balampama et al.BOOK2023

    Financial incentives are a promising approach for HIV prevention. Some studies have shown that financial incentive interventions aimed to promote positive health and social behaviors have mixed or harmful effects on gender-based violence, and little is known about their effects among higher risk groups such as female sex workers. To address this gap, this study investigated the relationship between a lottery-based incentive and gender-based viole…

  • Factors affecting caregivers’ participation in support groups for people living with HIV in Tanzania

    Open AccessLevina Kikoyo, Amon Exavery et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Introduction Support groups for people living with HIV (PLHIV) are essential for increasing adherence, retention, addressing their psychosocial needs and improving patient literacy. However, factors that influence participation of caregivers living with HIV (LHIV) in these groups are scarcely documented, particularly for those caring for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC). Methods This study used baseline data collected between 1st October 202…

  • Hunger and Adherence to Antiretroviral Therapy

    Open AccessAmon Exavery, 一浩 栗崎 et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    The association between hunger and adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is less known especially in vulnerable populations receiving HIV care and treatment services. Caregivers of orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) are vulnerable and likely to experience hunger due to additional economic pressure in caring for OVC. Using data from the community–based, USAID–funded Kizazi Kipya project, this study assesses the association between hunger an…

    Steven Forsythe, Bryant Lee et al.ARTICLEAfrican Journal of AIDS Research2019

    Differentiated service delivery models provide an opportunity to reduce the cost of HIV treatment while increasing the focus on advanced patients. Also, stable patients who need less attention can visit facilities less frequently, saving time and money and reducing overcrowding. Tanzania needs treatment support services that can improve the quality of life, ensure adherence and result in viral suppression. Treatment support services can be provid…

  • Low utilization of health care services following screening for hypertension in Dar es Salaam (Tanzania)

    Open AccessPierre Bovet, Pascal Bovet et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2008

    Low utilization of health services after hypertension screening suggests a small impact of a patient-centered screen-and-treat strategy in this low-income population. These findings emphasize the need to identify and address barriers to health care utilization for non-communicable diseases in this setting and, indirectly, the importance of public health measures for primary prevention of these diseases
