“A heart of the man is lighter than that of the woman…” exploring men’s motivation and capability to access HIV services in Lusaka, Zambia
In southern Africa, men are less likely than women to access HIV services, including HIV testing, antiretroviral therapy (ART), and HIV prevention services. As a result, men living with HIV are less likely to be virally suppressed and more likely to transmit HIV than their female peers. Using the socio-ecological model as a framework, we explored factors that influence men’s motivation and capability to access available HIV services, including ho…
Self-reported uptake of STI testing services among adolescents and young people aged 15–24 years
There is little evidence regarding community-based delivery of STI testing and treatment for youth aged 15–24 (AYP) in Zambia. In a cluster-randomised trial, we evaluated whether offering syndromic STI screening through community-based, peer-led sexual and reproductive health services (Yathu Yathu) with referral to a local health facility for testing, increased self-reported testing for STIs (other than HIV) among AYP. Two communities in Lusaka w…
The impact of an innovative community-based peer-led intervention on uptake and coverage of sexual and reproductive health services among adolescents and young people 15–24 years old

Factors associated with use of community-based, peer-led sexual and reproductive health services by adolescent boys and young men aged 18–24 in Lusaka, Zambia
Introduction Adolescents and young people (AYP) aged 15–24 years have the least access to facility-based sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, including HIV services. The Yathu-Yathu cluster-randomized trial (CRT) in Zambia tested whether a novel peer-led community-based approach increased knowledge of HIV status amongst AYP. In this nested case-control study, we aimed to identify factors associated with non-attendance to the Yathu Yathu…
Access to menstrual hygiene products through incentivised, community-based, peer-led sexual and reproductive health services before and during the Covid-19 pandemic
Availability of MHP through Yathu Yathu provided a large number of AGYW with access to these products. Hubs seemed particularly important for adolescent girls. Community-based, peer-led hubs should be considered as spaces to provide AGYW access to affordable and effective MHP
