Tell people and lose what I have
During Sierra Leone’s 2025 clade IIb mpox outbreak, care-seeking occurred in a social context where formal presentation could expose symptoms, sexualised assumptions, and private relationships to families, workplaces, neighbours, and surveillance systems. We conducted a focused thematic analysis nested within a broader qualitative study across Western Area Urban, Western Area Rural, Bo, and Kenema from 10 March to 28 August 2025. The focused data…
When women’s HIV prevention becomes unstable
HIV prevention among women is often described as movement from risk recognition to protective action. Structural and gender factors shape whether that movement occurs. Less clear is how these factors change over time and how these changes affect women’s capacity to sustain prevention. This longitudinal qualitative study examined this temporal gap in Sierra Leone. Forty-eight interviews were conducted across Western Area Urban, Bo and Kenema. They…
Suffering in silence
Mpox was confirmed in Sierra Leone in January 2025, with a public health emergency declared shortly thereafter. By June 2025, the country reported over 4,000 confirmed cases caused by clade IIb. Limited qualitative research has explored the lived experiences of affected populations during mpox outbreaks in African settings. This study explored multi-stakeholder experiences of mpox, including illness trajectories, stigma manifestations, healthcare…
Synthetic opioid response in a low-income country

Women in Sierra Leone navigate HIV vulnerabilities shaped by gender inequities, economic dependence, and post-conflict dynamics. Despite a disproportionate burden (2.2% among women versus 1.1% among men), limited research has explored how women perceive and respond to HIV risk in low-prevalence West African settings. This qualitative study examined risk perception, vulnerability drivers, and prevention strategies through semi-structured interview…
