Humanitarian and government support and mental health among refugees in Ugandan settlements, 2021
Limited research exists on mental health among displaced populations in sub-Saharan Africa. As one of the largest hosts of refugees worldwide, Uganda provides an opportunity to conduct research and examine health outcomes in this context. This study aimed to understand which factors were associated with probable depression and anxiety among refugees in Uganda and which forms of support correlate with better mental health in this population. The 2…
Unawareness of HIV-Positive Status among Men in Seven Sub-Saharan African Countries
HIV risk behaviour, viraemia, and transmission across HIV cascade stages including low-level viremia
As antiretroviral treatment (ART) coverage for people living with HIV (PLHIV) increases, HIV programmes require up-to-date information about evolving HIV risk behaviour and transmission risk, including those with low-level viremia (LLV; >50 to ≤1000 copies/mL), to guide prevention priorities. We aimed to assess differences in sexual risk behaviours, distribution of viral load (VL) and proportion of transmission across PLHIV subgroups. We analysed…
HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B virus infection and male circumcision in five Sub-Saharan African countries
Voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) has primarily been promoted for HIV prevention. Evidence also supports that male circumcision offers protection against other sexually transmitted infections. This analysis assessed the effect of circumcision on syphilis, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and HIV. Data from the 2015 to 2019 Population-based HIV Impact Assessments (PHIAs) surveys from Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe were us…
Producing HIV estimates
BACKGROUND: The development of global HIV estimates has been critical for understanding, advocating for and funding the HIV response. The process of generating HIV estimates has been cited as the gold standard for public health estimates. OBJECTIVE: This paper provides important lessons from an international scientific collaboration and provides a useful model for those producing public health estimates in other fields. DESIGN: Through the compil…
