Self-reported and Point-of-Care Biomarkers of Substance Use Measures Among Older Adults with HIV from Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Measuring alcohol and other drug (AOD) use remains challenging in HIV care in low- and middle-income countries, where self-report and point-of-care (POC) urine biomarkers capture different time windows. Among 2,059 people with HIV aged 40 years or older across eight IeDEA clinics (2020 to 2022), we examined what self-reported AOD use (AUDIT, ASSIST) and POC urine tests (uEtG for alcohol; 5-panel drug screen) each capture. Self-report identified m…
Acceptability of short message service reminders as the support tool for PrEP adherence among young women in Mukono district, Uganda
Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) have a disproportionately high incidence of HIV compared to males of the same age in Uganda. AGYW are a priority sub-group for daily oral Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), but their adherence has consistently remained low. Short Message Service (SMS) reminders could improve adherence to PrEP in AGYW. However, there is paucity of literature about acceptability of SMS reminders among AGYW using PrEP. We assess…
Cost-effectiveness of early initiation of first-line combination antiretroviral therapy in Uganda
In HIV-positive patients presenting with CD4 count between 250-350 cells/μl, immediate initiation of cART is a highly cost-effective strategy using the recommended one-time per capita GDP threshold of $490 reported for Uganda. This would constitute an efficient use of scarce health care funds
