“…This could be a noble idea and a game changer.” The potential of a dual prevention pill for HIV and pregnancy prevention among adolescent girls and young women in Zimbabwe
Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in Zimbabwe bear a double burden of HIV and unmet need despite the progress made in provision of family planning and oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). We elicited opinions from AGYW and health care providers (HCPs) about a dual prevention pill (DPP) in development that combines oral contraceptives (OCs) with oral PrEP to simultaneously prevent unintended pregnancy and HIV, and potentially increase uptak…
A Dual Prevention Pill for HIV & Pregnancy Prevention
Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in sub-Saharan Africa are at risk for HIV/unintended pregnancy. Adherence and continuation to effective oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) are limited in AGYW. We hypothesized that an over-encapsulated dual prevention pill (DPP) combining PrEP + oral contraceptive (OC) would be preferred, acceptable, and improve adherence compared to PrEP alone. We randomized HIV-uninfected, 16-24 year-olds 1:1 to use DPP…
Perception of couples’ on multipurpose prevention technology attribute choice
Addressing the myths and misconceptions surrounding the use of contraceptives is crucial in promoting their acceptance and ultimate use. Strategies for addressing the drawbacks women might experience while using a particular product should be in place as new MPTs progress through the development pipeline and approach roll-out
Acceptability and Use of the Dapivirine Vaginal Ring and Daily Oral Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) During Breastfeeding in South Africa, Malawi, Zimbabwe, and Uganda
Independent and combined effects of improved water, sanitation, and hygiene, and improved complementary feeding, on child stunting and anaemia in rural Zimbabwe
BACKGROUND: Child stunting reduces survival and impairs neurodevelopment. We tested the independent and combined effects of improved water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), and improved infant and young child feeding (IYCF) on stunting and anaemia in in Zimbabwe. METHODS: We did a cluster-randomised, community-based, 2 × 2 factorial trial in two rural districts in Zimbabwe. Clusters were defined as the catchment area of between one and four villag…
