Does enhanced HIV prevention, diagnosis, and linkage to care reduce hospitalisation in high HIV-burden communities in Zambia and South Africa? findings from the HPTN 071 (PopART) randomised trial
The objective of this study is to explore if a community-based HIV combination prevention intervention reduced inpatient hospitalisations in Zambia and South Africa by diagnosing HIV and TB in earlier stages of disease progression, thereby preventing severe disease and new infections. As part of the HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) 071 trial, hospitalisation data from a cohort of 16 968 consenting randomly sampled adults aged 18–44 years were…
Self-reported health status in the general population over 2 decades
The study demonstrates the stability of EQ-5D responses over time in HSE data from 1996 to 2014. However, there is evidence of periodic deterioration in health status notably in the years immediately after 2007. Further investigation of this effect could have implications for the interpretation and use of population data based on EQ-5D. The study demonstrates the importance in national surveys of the general population of regular collection of he…
The effect of universal testing and treatment for HIV on health-related quality of life – An analysis of data from the HPTN 071 (PopART) cluster randomised trial
The intervention did not change overall HRQoL, suggesting that raising HRQoL among PLHIV might require more than improved testing and treatment. However, PLHIV had fewer problems with pain/discomfort under the full intervention; this benefit of UTT should be maximised during roll-out
Relationships between changes in HIV risk perception and condom use in East Zimbabwe 2003–2013
Results on associations between changing risk perception and increasing condom use support hypothesised effects of risk perception on condom use and effects of condom use on risk perception (down-adjusting risk perception after adopting condom use). However, low proportions of change in condom use were attributable to changing risk perception, underlining the range of factors influencing HIV prevention behaviour and the need for comprehensive app…

Accuracy of HIV Risk Perception in East Zimbabwe 2003–2013
Risk perception for HIV infection is an important determinant for engaging in HIV prevention behaviour. We investigate the degree to which HIV risk perception is accurate, i.e. corresponds to actual HIV infection risks, in a general-population open-cohort study in Zimbabwe (2003-2013) including 7201 individuals over 31,326 person-years. Risk perception for future infection (no/yes) at the beginning of periods between two surveys was associated wi…
Richer, wiser and in better health? The socioeconomic gradient in hypertension prevalence, unawareness and control in South Africa
A health intervention or a kitchen appliance? Household costs and benefits of a cleaner burning biomass-fuelled cookstove in Malawi
Pneumonia is the leading cause of mortality for children under five years in sub-Saharan Africa. Household air pollution has been found to increase risk of pneumonia, especially due to exposure from dirty burning biomass fuels. It has been suggested that advanced stoves, which burn fuel more efficiently and reduce smoke emissions, may help to reduce household air pollution in poor, rural settings. This qualitative study aims to provide an insight…
