Feasibility and acceptability of task sharing collection of HIV viral load dried blood spot samples with community lay cadres
Viral load (VL) testing is a critical tool for clinical management of HIV, yet healthcare worker (HCW) shortages remain a key barrier to VL sample collection. This study assessed the feasibility and acceptability of VL dried blood spot (DBS) sample collection by community lay cadres (CLCs) compared to collection by trained HCWs. We implemented a cross-sectional diagnostic validation study across 10 purposefully selected public health facilities i…
Zimbabwe's emergency response to Covid-19
The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spreads rapidly, causing outbreaks that grow exponentially within a short period before interventions are sought and effectively implemented. Testing is part of the first line of defense against Corona Virus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19), playing a critical role in the early identification and isolation of cases to slow transmission, provision of targeted care to those affected, and pr…
