A narrative review of the pathophysiology of sepsis in sub-Saharan Africa
Sepsis remains a significant global health threat with a disproportionate burden in low-income countries including those in sub-Saharan Africa where case fatality rates are as high as 30% to 50%. Defined as a severe systemic response to infection, sepsis leads to widespread immune dysregulation and organ dysfunction, including adrenal insufficiency. Critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency (CIRCI) arises from dysregulation of the hyp…
The feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of real-time monitors and SMS on tuberculosis medication adherence in southwestern Uganda
We conducted a pilot randomized controlled trial among patients initiating treatment for drug-sensitive tuberculosis (TB). Participants received real-time electronic adherence monitors and were randomized (1:1:1) to: (i) daily SMS (reminders to TB patients and notifications to social supporters sent daily for 3 months, then triggered by late or missed dosing for 3 months); (ii) weekly SMS (reminders to TB patients and notifications to social supp…
Decision Analytic Modeling for Global Clinical Trial Planning
Sepsis is a significant cause of mortality among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in sub-Saharan Africa. In the planning period prior to the start of a large multi-country clinical trial studying the efficacy of the immediate empiric addition of anti-tuberculosis therapy to standard-of-care antibiotics for sepsis in people living with HIV, we used decision analysis to assess the costs and potential health outcome impacts of t…
Internalized stigma, depressive symptoms, and the modifying role of antiretroviral therapy
Depression affects over 40% of people with HIV (PHIV) in low- and middle-income countries, and over half of PHIV report HIV-related internalized stigma. However, few longitudinal studies of PHIV have examined the relationship between HIV-related stigma and depression. Data were analyzed from the 2007-15 Uganda AIDS Rural Treatment Outcomes (UARTO) Study, a cohort of 454 antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naïve PHIV (68% women) starting ART. Our primary…
Positive Deviance for Dual-Method Promotion among Women in Uganda
Dual-method use is the most reliable form of protection against unintended pregnancies and human immunodeficiency virus/sexually transmitted infections (HIV/STIs). Although dual-method use remains uncommon among women in stable relationships, some women do practice it. In this study, we explored the barriers that make dual-method use rare and the behaviors of women who practice dual-method use using a positive deviance framework in Uganda. We scr…
The Dynamic Relationship Between Social Support and HIV-Related Stigma in Rural Uganda
BACKGROUND: Cross-sectional studies show that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) stigma is negatively correlated with social support. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to examine the bidirectional relationship between social support and HIV stigma. METHODS: We collected quarterly data from a cohort of 422 people living with HIV in Uganda, followed for a median of 2.1 years. We used multilevel regression to model the contemporaneous and 3-mont…
Tobacco Use Among Adults Initiating Treatment for HIV Infection in Rural Uganda
Internalized Stigma, Social Distance, and Disclosure of HIV Seropositivity in Rural Uganda
BACKGROUND: HIV is highly stigmatized, compromising both treatment and prevention in resource-limited settings. PURPOSE: We sought to study the relationship between internalized HIV-related stigma and serostatus disclosure and to determine the extent to which this association varies with the degree of social distance. METHODS: We fit multivariable Poisson regression models, with cluster-correlated robust estimates of variance, to data from 259 pe…
How Does Antiretroviral Treatment Attenuate the Stigma of HIV? Evidence from a Cohort Study in Rural Uganda
No Association Found Between Traditional Healer Use and Delayed Antiretroviral Initiation in Rural Uganda
Evidence for the Reliability and Validity of the Internalized Aids-Related Stigma Scale in Rural Uganda
Food insecurity, depression and the modifying role of social support among people living with HIV/Aids in rural Uganda
