Optimizing hepatitis B diagnosis for mothers in a low-resource setting
Mother-to-child transmission accounts for most new hepatitis B (HBV) infections in high-burden regions globally. The World Health Organization recommends antiviral prophylaxis for pregnant women with high hepatitis B viral load levels, but access to viral load testing remains limited and untimely in many countries, due to centralized testing. We assessed the operational feasibility, accessibility, and cost of implementing the Xpert HBV DNA assay …
The implementation gap
Uganda's PVT package shows effective uptake of simple, low-cost interventions but struggles with complex, resource-demanding components vital for retention. To eliminate vertical transmission, Uganda must move beyond developing innovations, job aids, and the provision of data collection tools and toward strengthening health system capacities, especially investing in the workforce's continuous training, supportive supervision, and supporting commu…
Leading with Hope
Among heterosexual couples in sub-Saharan Africa, fears of relationship dissolution and inability to bear healthy children following an HIV-positive result remain barriers to HIV testing. Recently expanded availability of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) affords a critical opportunity to promote HIV testing with reassuring communication that highlights use for relationship preservation and healthy childbearing. We aimed to develop a theoretically-…
Effects of M-DEPTH Model of Depression Care on Maternal HIV Viral Suppression and Adherence to the PMTCT Care Continuum Among HIV-Infected Pregnant Women in Uganda
Perinatal depression has been shown to impede adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) care continuum; therefore, treating perinatal depression may result in increased viral suppression and PMTCT adherence. We examined the effects of the M-DEPTH (Maternal Depression Treatment in HIV) depression care model (including antidepressants and individual Problem Solving Therapy) on depression, m…
