Prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections and associated risk factors among pregnant women and key populations in Kenya
Sexually-transmitted pathogens Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) cause curable but often asymptomatic bacterial infections. Missed diagnoses and treatment, leading to chronic infections, can cause clinical complications and increase transmission. Accurate prevalence estimates are essential for the effective public health control of these sexually transmitted infections, especially in Africa, where data are scarce. This cro…
Community Mobilization Approaches for Large-Scale Public Health Surveys
All-cause and cause-specific mortality rates for Kisumu County
Background Understanding the magnitude and causes of mortality at national and sub-national levels for countries is critical in facilitating evidence-based prioritization of public health response. We provide comparable cause of death data from Kisumu County, a high HIV and malaria-endemic county in Kenya, and compared them with Kenya and low-and-middle income countries (LMICs). Methods We analyzed data from a mortuary-based study at two of the l…
Characteristics of users of HIV self-testing in Kenya, outcomes, and factors associated with use
Kenya has made progress in rolling out HIVST. However, geographic differences and social demographic factors could influence HIVST use. Therefore, more still needs to be done to scale up the use of HIVST among various subpopulations. Using multiple access models could help ensure equity in access to HIVST. In addition, there is need to determine how HIVST use may influence behavior change towardsaccess to prevention and HIV treatment services
Mortuary and hospital-based HIV mortality surveillance among decedents in a low-resource setting
This study shows that in low-resource settings, conducting hospital and mortuary-based surveillance is feasible and can be an alternative source of mortality data when civil registry data are inadequate
Impact of the First Wave of the Covid-19 Pandemic on HIV/Aids Programming in Kenya
The study sought to determine the impact of COVID-19 on HIV/AIDS programming in the Kibera informal settlement and COVID-19 hotspot counties during the first wave of the pandemic. The study was conducted in two phases. The first phase entailed the analysis of HIV care and treatment secondary data (2018-2020) from the Kenya Health Information System. In the second phase, a prospective cohort study was conducted among people living with HIV in the …
