Implementing an integrated community based health systems strengthening approach to improve HIV survival in Northern Togo
To disseminate lessons learned from the implementation experience of a public-private sector partnership, we describe a comprehensive HIV/AIDS program including 5-year survival outcomes for individuals who initiated antiretroviral therapy (ART) treatment in Togo from 2010 to 2015. A retrospective case study analysis was conducted from a cohort of patients receiving ART at an HIV/AIDS care clinic in Kara Region, Togo. Kaplan-Meier curves with Log …
Prevalence and factors associated to disclosure of same-sex practices to family members and health care workers among men who have sex with men in Togo
Disclosure of same-sex practices is associated with improved access to health services and better health outcomes. Our aim was to estimate the prevalence of same-sex practice disclosure to family members and health care workers (HCW) in two cities in Togo. 683 MSM ≥18 years of age were surveyed using respondent driven sampling (RDS) for a cross-sectional survey using a structured questionnaire in Lomé (354 (51.8%)) and Kara (n = 329 (48.2%)). Med…
Characterising the relationship between migration and stigma affecting healthcare engagement among female sex workers in Lomé, Togo
Migration in West Africa is common and complicates the sustained delivery of comprehensive HIV care programmes for those with specific vulnerabilities to HIV, including female sex workers (FSW). This study evaluated whether migration potentiates the burden of stigma affecting FSW in Lomé, Togo. Respondent driven sampling identified 354 FSW who completed HIV testing and a questionnaire. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factor…
Using a social ecological framework to characterize the correlates of HIV among men who have sex with men in Lomé, Togo
In the mixed and concentrated HIV epidemics of West Africa, the relative disproportionate burden of HIV among men who have sex with men (MSM) compared to other reproductive-age men is higher than that observed in Southern and Eastern Africa. Our aim is to describe the correlates of HIV infection among MSM living in Lomé, Togo, using the Modified Social Ecological Model (MSEM). A total of 354 MSM ≥18 years of age were recruited using respondent dr…
Suicidal ideation among MSM in three West African countries
BACKGROUND: Suicidal ideation is understudied among men who have sex with men (MSM) across Sub-Saharan Africa. AIMS: This study aimed to explore social capital and sexual behavior stigma associated with suicidal ideation among MSM in the West African nations of The Gambia, Burkina Faso and Togo. METHODS: Participants were recruited using respondent-driven sampling and snowball sampling across multiple cities (n = 1555) from July 2011 to August 20…
