Tuberculosis comorbidities, multimorbidity and mortality amongst adults in South Africa
Tuberculosis (TB) comorbidities and multimorbidity - the presence of two or more concurrent diseases or health conditions - are major contributors to TB incidence and mortality. We investigated the prevalence and associated mortality of TB comorbidities and multimorbidity in South Africa. We conducted a prospective cohort study of adults ≥15 years with bacteriologically-confirmed pulmonary TB, nested within a trial in two provinces of South Afric…
Group-based trajectory modeling to describe the geographical distribution of tuberculosis notifications
GBTM is a powerful tool for identifying geographic clusters of varying levels of TB notification when longitudinal data on the number of TB diagnoses are available. This analysis can inform the planning and evaluation of intervention strategies
A cross-sectional study measuring contact patterns using diaries in an urban and a rural community in South Africa, 2018
Age played an important role in the number and duration of contact events, with children at the rural site having almost double the contact rate compared to the urban site. These contact rates can be utilized in mathematical models to assess transmission dynamics of infectious diseases in similar communities

Promoting Tuberculosis Preventive Therapy for People Living with HIV in South Africa
Maternal Motivation to Take Preventive Therapy in Antepartum and Postpartum Among HIV-Positive Pregnant Women in South Africa
Evaluating the cost of adult voluntary medical male circumcision in a mixed (surgical and PrePex) site compared to a hypothetical PrePex-only site in South Africa
BACKGROUND: Several circumcision devices have been evaluated for a safe and simplified male circumcision among adults. The PrePex device was prequalified for voluntary male medical circumcision (VMMC) in May 2013 by the World Health Organization and is expected to simplify the procedure safely while reducing cost. South Africa is scaling up VMMC. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the overall unit cost of VMMC at a mixed site vs. a hypothetical PrePex-only s…
Factors associated with mortality in HIV-infected people in rural and urban South Africa
BACKGROUND: Factors associated with mortality in HIV-infected people in sub-Saharan Africa are widely reported. However rural-urban disparities and their association with all-cause mortality remain unclear. Furthermore, commonly used classical Cox regression ignores unmeasured variables and frailty. OBJECTIVE: To incorporate frailty in assessing factors associated with mortality in HIV-infected people in rural and urban South Africa. DESIGN: Usin…
Sexual Risk Behaviors Among HIV-Infected South African Men and Women with Their Partners in a Primary Care Program
Patient referral from nurses to doctors in a nurse-led HIV primary care clinic in South Africa
Health services in sub-Saharan Africa are under great pressure to provide adequate clinical care due to the continued HIV epidemic, and nurse-driven models of care are one means to address physician shortages. This case-control study examines the reasons for and correlates of patient referral from nurses to physicians at HIV primary care clinics in South Africa prior to initiating antiretroviral treatment. Ninety-seven HIV-infected cases who requ…
The Impact of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy on Activities of Daily Living in HIV-Infected Adults in South Africa
Socioeconomic disparities in access to HIV/Aids treatment programs in resource-limited settings
This study employs data from rural South Africa to determine whether there were socioeconomic differences in the profile of HIV-infected persons living in the community and HIV-infected patients presenting for hospital-based outpatient HIV/AIDS care and related services. There were 776 HIV-infected persons aged 18-35 years in Limpopo Province, South Africa who were included in the study, including 534 consecutive patients who presented for care a…
