Qualitative findings on the benefits of depression treatment for pregnant women living with HIV in Uganda
Depression among women living with HIV affects their psychological well-being, HIV disease management, and prevention of mother-to-child transmission. A subset of 25 women selected from the intervention arm of the Maternal Depression Treatment in HIV (M-DEPTH) cluster randomized trial were interviewed; they had received either antidepressant therapy (ADT) or problem-solving therapy (PST). Their experiences as new mothers with the effects of depre…
Low acceptance of intimate partner violence by pregnant women in Uganda predicts higher uptake of HIV self-testing among their male partners

Methods : We used intervention-arm data from a cluster-randomised controlled HST intervention trial ( N = 1 618) conducted in Uganda to determine the association between attitudes towar…
HIV testing preferences among pregnant women attending antenatal care and their male partners

METHODS: This was a qualitative study implemented as part of a pilot, cluster-randomized oral HIVST intervention trial among 1,514 pregnant women attending antenatal care services at three healt…
