  • Effectiveness and experiences with differentiated service delivery of HIV care in Kisumu County, Kenya

    Open AccessFrancesca Odhiambo, Raphael Onyango Mando et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    The adoption of the test and treat policy by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2015 led to an unprecedented increase in the number of people living with HIV (PLHIV) enrolling into HIV treatment, thereby increasing the burden on HIV service delivery. To compensate, WHO endorsed the Differentiated Service Delivery (DSD) approach to reduce the burden on the health care system and therefore support attainment of the UNAIDS 95-95-95 goals by 2030…

  • HIV risk behaviour, viraemia, and transmission across HIV cascade stages including low-level viremia

    Open AccessOlanrewaju Edun, Lucy Okell et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    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…

  • Beyond the 95s

    Open AccessRachael Joseph, Yaa Obeng-Aduasare et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    The UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets are an important metric for guiding national HIV programs and measuring progress towards ending the HIV epidemic as a public health threat by 2030. Nevertheless, as proportional targets, the outcome of reaching the 95-95-95 targets will vary greatly across, and within, countries owing to the geographic diversity of the HIV epidemic. Countries and subnational units with a higher initial prevalence and number of people l…

  • Facility characteristics preferred by older men seeking medical male circumcision services in Kenya

    Open AccessDickens S Omondi Aduda, Kawango Agot et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    Primary healthcare facilities are central to the implementation of voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) as points of access to integrated health services in line with the Kenya AIDS Strategic Framework II (2020/21-2024/25). Knowledge of factors that explain men's uptake of VMMC and sexual health services at these facilities and preferences of where to get the services remain poorly understood. Using qualitative methodologies, we examined fa…

  • Characteristics of users of HIV self-testing in Kenya, outcomes, and factors associated with use

    Open AccessJonathan Mwangi, Fredrick Miruka et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    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
