Assessing the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on new ART initiation and viral load access among children and adolescents living with HIV in West Africa
Background: Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the pediatric continuum of HIV care lagged behind that of adults. The present study aimed to describe the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on access to HIV care among children and adolescents (0-19 years) living with HIV (CALHIV) in five West African countries. Methods: Within this observational multicenter study, we conducted an interrupted time series analysis by including all antiretroviral therapy (AR…
Willingness of female sex workers to use HIV self-testing in Burkina Faso
Background HIV self-testing (HIVST) is an approach that allows individuals to test for HIV and obtain results in their homes or other private settings. It is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), particularly for key populations, to help achieve the first 95. The objective of this study was to evaluate the willingness to use HIVST among female sex workers (FSWs) in Burkina Faso. Methods We performed a biobehavioral cross-sectional s…
Missed opportunities for hospital referral of young children with severe pneumonia identified at primary care using pulse oximetry
Background In line with the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) guidelines, healthcare workers (HCWs) should refer all severe pneumonia among children under 5 seen in primary care in resource-limited settings. We investigated the frequency and correlates of missed opportunities for hospital referral (MOHR) of clinical severe pneumonia. Our study was embedded within the Améliorer l'Identification des détresses Respiratoires chez l'En…
Perceptions and management of diabetes and obesity among people living with HIV in Côte d’Ivoire
These results highlight the complexity surrounding the perceptions and management of T2DM and obesity among PLHIV in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. In order to implement innovative and efficient intervention strategies to prevent and treat these metabolic conditions, cultural beliefs as well as socio-economic barriers must be addressed
Care pathways for critically ill children aged 0–5 years arriving at district hospitals in Burkina Faso, Guinea, Mali, and Niger (2022)
The recommended pathway is largely adhered to, yet parallel pathways require attention, notably in Guinea and Mali. A better understanding of healthcare-seeking behaviours can help remove barriers to care, improving the likelihood that a sick child will receive optimal care
Incidence of unintended pregnancies and pregnancy experience among adolescents living with perinatally-acquired HIV in West Africa
Registered with the Pan African Clinical Trials Registry on 13 February 2024 (reference no. PACTR202402863175053)
HIV testing among female sex workers and associated factors in Burkina Faso
The HIV testing rate among FSW is low in Burkina Faso, suggesting an important challenge to reach the first 95% target of UNAIDS among FSW. Innovative diagnostic strategies for the early identification of HIV-infected FSW are essential to achieve the first 95 target by 2025 in Burkina Faso
High stress related to Covid-19 among health workers in the Plateau Central healthcare region (Burkina Faso)
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic challenged the mental wellbeing of health workers. The objective of this study was to assess health workers' perceived stress during the response to COVID-19 in the Central Plateau region (Burkina Faso). Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of health workers in the Central Plateau health region from September 20 to October 20, 2021. Agents' perceived stress was assessed by the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS…
Incidence and Predictors of Imported Cases of Covid-19 in Burkina Faso
BACKGROUND: To limit the spread of COVID-19 due to imported cases, Burkina Faso has set up quarantine measures for arriving passengers. We aimed to determine the incidence and predictors of imported cases of COVID-19 in Burkina Faso. METHODS: 2) platform. Cox regression was used to identify predictors of imported cases of COVID-19. RESULTS: Among 6,332 travelers who arrived in the study period, 173 imported cases (2.7%) were recorded. The inciden…
Prevalence and factors associated with stigma among people with disabilities in Niger in 2018
People with disability face stigmatization in most of African countries. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and the factors associated with stigma among people living with a disability in Niger. This is a secondary analysis of data from a cross sectional study on disability and HIV conducted in Niger from June to November 2018. People with disabilities in grades 3 and 4 identify with Washington Group Short Set of Question…
