  • Do community-level factors play a role in HIV self-testing uptake, linkage to services and HIV-related outcomes? A mixed methods study of community-led HIV self-testing in rural Zimbabwe

    Open AccessMary K Tumushime, Nancy Ruhode et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Community-led interventions, where communities plan and lead implementation, are increasingly being adopted within public health programmes. We explore factors associated with successful community-led distribution of HIV self-test (HIVST) kits to guide future service delivery. Twenty rural communities were supported to distribute HIVST kits for 1-month between January and September 2019. Social science researchers observed communities during plan…

  • Provider costs of professional Covid-19 rapid antigen testing in low-income settings

    Open AccessCollin Mangenah, Lucky G Ngwira et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    World Health Organization recommends antigen rapid diagnostic tests (RDT) as point of care tests for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in suspected outbreaks when polymerase-chain-reaction testing is not accessible; to trace the extent of outbreaks; and in areas with widespread community transmission. Annual economic costs were estimated for professional SARS-CoV-2 testing as part of several COVID-19 testing use cases i…

  • Community-based HIV self-testing

    Open AccessEuphemia Sibanda, Melissa Neuman et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    BACKGROUND: HIV self-testing (HIVST) requires linkage to post-test services to maximise its benefits. We evaluated effect of supply-side incentivisation on linkage following community-based HIVST and evaluated time-trends in facility-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiations. METHODS: From August 2016 to August 2017 community-based distributors (CBDs) in 38 rural Zimbabwean communities distributed HIVST door-to-door in 19-25 day campaigns. C…

  • Comparison of community-led distribution of HIV self-tests kits with distribution by paid distributors

    Open AccessEuphemia Sibanda, Collin Mangenah et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    BACKGROUND: We compared community-led versus an established community-based HIV self-testing (HIVST) model in rural Zimbabwe using a cluster-randomised trial. METHODS: Forty village groups were randomised 1:1 using restricted randomisation to community-led HIVST, where communities planned and implemented HIVST distribution for 4 weeks, or paid distribution (PD), where distributors were paid US$50 to distribute kits door-to-door over 4 weeks.
