Living in Fear
Dedicated studies to understand and explore HIV-related stigma among PWH in Senegal are essential for the development and implementation of effective stigma reduction strategies. The goals of this study were to understand the current challenges confronted by newly diagnosed PWH in Senegal and to explore the manifestations of HIV-related stigma using a mixed methods approach. We conducted a convergent mixed methods study among participants ≥ 18 ye…
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…
Disparities in dolutegravir utilisation in children, adolescents and young adults (0–24 years) living with HIV. An analysis of the IeDEA Pediatric West African cohort
INTRODUCTION: We describe the 24-month incidence of Dolutegravir (DTG)-containing antiretroviral treatment (ART) initiation since its introduction in 2019 in West Africa. METHODS: We included all patients aged 0-24 years on ART from nine clinics in Côte d'Ivoire (n=4), Ghana, Nigeria, Mali, Benin, and Burkina Faso. Baseline varied by clinic and was defined as date of first DTG prescription; patients were followed up until database closure/death/l…
Household costs of care in children under five attending primary care in Burkina Faso, Guinea, Mali and Niger
INTRODUCTION: Out-of-pocket payments limit access to care in Africa. The Amélioration de l'Identification des détresses Respiratoires de l'Enfant/Improving Identification of Respiratory Distress in Children (AIRE) project evaluated the implementation of pulse oximetry within Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) guidelines at primary health centres (PHCs) in Burkina Faso and Niger (with total exemption policies) and in Mali and Guinea…
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)
