  • The local dynamics of sociostructural features and HIV stigma in the HPTN 071 (PopART) trial

    Open AccessVirginia Bond, Lario Viljoen et al.ARTICLEStigma and Health2024

    Across sub-Saharan Africa, stigma levels have been decreasing but not enough to achieve the 95–95–95 HIV targets by 2030. Current global HIV frameworks have identified stigma reduction, context specific interventions, and community mobilization as critical to enabling more effective uptake of HIV services. We conducted a retrospective analysis of longitudinal qualitative and quantitative data collected in 21 urban communities in Zambia and South …

  • Barriers and facilitators to uptake and persistence on prep among key populations in Southern Province, Zambia

    Open AccessKirsten Stoebenau, Godfrey Muchanga et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    To our knowledge, this is the first qualitative study of the PrEP cascade among multiple PPs in Zambia. This study provides important explanation for the low rates of PrEP continuation found in earlier demonstration trials among KPs in Zambia. The study also offers recommendations for programming efforts going forward such as inclusive PrEP awareness campaigns, expanded KP sensitivity training, and related efforts to thwart PrEP stigma while expa…

  • Acceptability and Preferences of Two Different Community Models of ART Delivery in a High Prevalence Urban Setting in Zambia

    Open AccessMohammed Limbada, Chiti Bwalya et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2021

    Community delivery of Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a novel innovation to increase sustainable ART coverage for People living with HIV (PLHIV) in resource limited settings. Within a nested cluster-randomised sub-study in two urban communities that participated in the HPTN 071 (PopART) trial in Zambia we investigated individual acceptability and preferences for ART delivery models. Stable PLHIV were enrolled in a cluster-randomized trial of thre…

  • Community-based health workers implementing universal access to HIV testing and treatment

    Open AccessLario Viljoen, Tila Mainga et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2021

    The global expansion of HIV testing, prevention and treatment services is necessary to achieve HIV epidemic control and promote individual and population health benefits for people living with HIV (PLHIV) in sub-Saharan Africa. Community-based health workers (CHWs) could play a key role in supporting implementation at scale. In the HPTN 071 (PopART) trial in Zambia and South Africa, a cadre of 737 study-specific CHWs, working closely with governm…

  • Value and Limitations of Broad Brush Surveys Used in Community-Randomized Trials in Southern Africa

    Open AccessVirginia Bond, Fredrick Ngwenya et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2019Citada por: 3Referências: 22

    We describe and reflect on a rapid qualitative survey approach called "Broad Brush Survey" (BBS) used in six community-randomized trials (CRTs)/studies in Zambia and South Africa (2004-2018) to document, compare, classify, and communicate community features systematically for public health and multidisciplinary research ends. BBS is based on a set sequence of participatory qualitative methods and fieldwork carried out prior to a CRT intervention …

  • Understanding the Time Needed to Link to Care and Start ART in Seven HPTN 071 (PopART) Study Communities in Zambia and South Africa

    Open AccessThe HPTN study team, Janet Seeley et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2018

    To achieve UNAIDS 90:90:90 targets at population-level, knowledge of HIV status must be followed by timely linkage to care, initiation and maintenance of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for all people living with HIV (PLHIV). Interpreting quantitative patterns using qualitative data, we investigate time taken to link to care and initiate ART amongst individuals aware of their HIV-status in high HIV-prevalence urban communities in the HPTN 071 (PopAR…

  • “The difference that makes a difference”

    Open AccessVirginia Bond, Chiti Bwalya et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2016

    This paper explores contextual heterogeneity within a community randomised trial HPTN 071 (Population Effects of Antiretroviral Treatment to Reduce HIV Transmission) carried out in 21 study communities (12 Zambian, 9 South African). The trial evaluates the impact of a combination HIV prevention package (including household-based HIV counselling and testing and anti-retroviral treatment (ART) eligibility regardless of CD4-count) on HIV incidence. …
