Barriers and facilitators to implementing a single-visit, screen-and-treat approach with thermal ablation for cervical cancer prevention in Kenya
Cervical cancer continues to be a major global threat to women's health, with approximately 660,000 women diagnosed annually, 94% of whom are in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The high disease burden in LMICs is partly due to suboptimal adoption and widespread implementation of effective preventive interventions. This study explored drivers of implementation success and failure for a future single-visit, screen, and treat approach with…
Acceptability and feasibility of a urine-based tenofovir adherence assay for monitoring and providing feedback on PrEP adherence in Kenya
Objective measures of oral PrEP adherence - especially point-of-care (POC) measures that enable real-time assessment, intervention, and feedback - have the potential to improve adherence. Our team previously developed and validated a novel urine-based POC metric of PrEP adherence. In this study, we sought to determine whether this assay is acceptable and feasible among women taking PrEP and PrEP providers in Kenya. We conducted a trial comparing …
Acceptability of secondary distribution of HIV self-testing kits in central Kenya
The secondary distribution of HIV self-testing (HIVST) kits has the potential to improve access and uptake of HIV testing. This study assessed the acceptability of secondary distribution of HIVST by people living with HIV (PLHIV) to their sexual partners in Central Kenya and explored the broader perspectives on this strategy. Conducted between November 2019 and April 2023, the study was nested within an interventional study that implemented two a…
