  • Perspectives of healthcare providers around providing family planning services to women living with HIV attending six HIV treatment clinics in Lusaka, Zambia

    Amy Medley, Tiffiany Aholou et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2025

    While international guidelines recommend integration of family planning (FP) and HIV services, limited research has been done to explore how healthcare providers perceive the feasibility and utility of integrated services. To address this gap, we administered a standardized questionnaire to 85 providers from 6 HIV clinics in Lusaka, Zambia, before (April–May 2018) and after (May–June 2019) implementing an enhanced model of FP/HIV service integrat…

  • Integrating isoniazid preventive therapy into the fast-track HIV treatment model in urban Zambia

    Open AccessMpande Mukumbwa-Mwenechanya, Muhau Mubiana et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Most people living with HIV (PLHIV) established on treatment in Zambia receive multi-month prescribing and dispensing (MMSD) antiretroviral therapy (ART) and are enrolled in less-intensive differentiated service delivery (DSD) models such as Fast Track (FT), where clients collect ART every 3–6 months and make clinical visits every 6 months. In 2019, Zambia introduced Isoniazid Preventive Therapy (IPT) with scheduled visits at 2 weeks and 1, 3, an…

    Open AccessG Vance, Gail H Vance et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2014Citada por: 2Referências: 13

    OBJECTIVE: To determine whether integrating family planning (FP) messages and referrals into facility-based, child immunization services increase contraceptive uptake in the 9- to 12-month post-partum period. METHODS: A cluster-randomized trial was used to test an intervention where vaccinators were trained to provide individualized FP messages and referrals to women presenting their child for immunization services. In each of 2 countries, Ghana …

  • Is single-dose NVP relevant in the era of more efficacious PMTCT regimens? Lessons from Zambia

    Kwasi Torpey, Prisca Kasonde et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2010

    For almost a decade, single-dose nevirapine (sdNVP) has been proven to be a safe and effective drug for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV. With the advent of the use of more efficacious combination therapy strategy in reducing mother-to-child transmission, sdNVP has been relegated as a lower tier intervention. Availability of infrastructural capacity coupled with the practical reality that very few women attend an ante…

  • Prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV in Zambia

    Open AccessJustin Mandala, Kwasi Torpey et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2009

    Efficacious ARV regimens beyond sdNVP can be implemented in resource-constrained PHCs. The majority (73.0%) of women identified eligible for ART were initiated on cART; however, a minority (11.3%) of HIV-positive pregnant women were assessed for CD4 count and had their test results available. Factors associated with implementation of more efficacious ARV regimens include timing of blood-draw for CD4 count and capacity to initiate cART onsite wher…
