“Dream PrEP delivery package”: Co-creating innovative PrEP delivery with pregnant or parenting young women in South Africa
We conducted a participatory workshop with pregnant or parenting young women to co-create innovative PrEP delivery strategies informed by their lived experiences. Nine pregnant or parenting young women (n = 6 aged 18-24; n = 3 aged 25-28) were recruited from the FastPrEP study, an implementation project in South Africa. Participants ranked barriers to PrEP access and use, with early clinic closures listed as the biggest challenge, followed by com…
Oral PrEP use among pregnant or parenting young women in South Africa: Evidence from a large community-based implementation study
Young women who are pregnant/parenting face elevated risk of early PrEP discontinuation. Differentiated, life-stage and youth-responsive interventions, such as counselling, partner involvement, and integration with maternal and child health, or sexual and reproductive health services, are critical to improving PrEP persistence among this priority population. This population should be prioritised in the rollout of long-acting PrEP formulations, wh…
Empowering Women’s PrEP Choices: Qualitative Insights into Long-Acting PrEP Preferences and Decision-Making during Pregnancy and Breastfeeding in South Africa and Botswana
Pregnant and breastfeeding women (PBW) are at heightened risk of HIV acquisition. We aimed to explore PBW's preferences of various long-acting PrEP modalities. In-depth interviews were conducted with PBW at three sites: Cape Town, East London (South Africa), and Gaborone (Botswana). We conducted thematic analysis, guided by the Health Belief Model, to examine participants' HIV risk perception during pregnancy and breastfeeding, their perceived in…
Factors Associated with Preferences for Long-Acting Injectable Antiretroviral Therapy Among Adolescents and Young People Living with HIV in South Africa
Long-acting injectable anti-retroviral therapy (LAART) may overcome barriers to long-term adherence and improve the survival of adolescents and young people living with HIV (AYLHIV). Research on the acceptability of LAART for this age-group is limited. We asked 953 AYLHIV about their preferred (theoretical) ART mode of delivery (pill, injectable, or other) in 2017-2018, before LAART was available or known to AYLHIV in South Africa. One in eight (…
Now my life is stuck!’: Experiences of adolescents and young people during Covid-19 lockdown in South Africa
Consequences of COVID-19 pandemic responses have included exacerbated poverty, food insecurity and state and domestic violence. Such effects may be particularly pronounced amongst adolescents and young people living in contexts of precarity and constraint, including in South Africa. However, there are evidence gaps on the lived experiences of this group. We conducted telephonic semi-structured interviews with adolescents and young people in two S…
A Randomized Trial of Mobile Health Support for Heart Failure Patients and Their Informal Caregivers: Impacts on Caregiver-reported Outcomes
BACKGROUND: Mobile health services may improve chronic illness care, but interventions rarely support informal caregivers' efforts. OBJECTIVES: To determine whether automated feedback to caregivers of chronic heart failure patients impacts caregiving burden and assistance with self-management. RESEARCH DESIGN: Randomized comparative effectiveness trial. SUBJECTS: A total of 369 heart failure patients were recruited from a Veterans Health Administ…
