  • Too old to test?’

    Open AccessCheryl Johnson, Moses Kumwenda et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Characteristics associated with age-gender norms and social position encourage self-testing but drive poor HIV-risk perception and unacceptability of conventional HIV testing in midlife-older adults. There is an urgent need to provide targeted messages and services more appropriate to midlife-older adults in sub-Saharan Africa. HIVST which has often been highlighted as a tool for reaching young people, may be a valuable tool for engaging midlife-…

  • Perspectives on voluntary assisted partner notification among providers, people with HIV and the general population in Indonesia

    Open AccessGede Benny Setia Wirawan, Pande Putu Januraga et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    We found consensus among stakeholders on acceptance of aPN, especially dual referral methods. Development and implementation of aPN protocols should also consider clients' individual situations and concerns regarding safeguarding of confidentiality, and offer a range of options to accommodate all stakeholders involved

  • Country adherence to WHO recommendations to improve the quality of HIV diagnosis

    Open AccessVirginia A Fonner, Anita Sands et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    INTRODUCTION: Ensuring a correct and timely HIV diagnosis is critical. WHO publishes guidelines on HIV testing strategies that maximise the likelihood of correctly determining one's HIV status. A review of national HIV testing policies in 2014 found low adherence to WHO guidelines. We updated this review to determine adherence to current recommendations. METHODS: We conducted a comprehensive policy review through April 2018. We extracted data on …

  • Expansion of HIV testing in Eswatini

    Open AccessPhilip J Kitchen, Kate Bärnighausen et al.ARTICLEAfrican Journal of AIDS Research2020

    Achieving the United Nations' 90-90-90 goals has proven challenging in most settings and the ambitious 95-95-95 goals seem even more elusive. However, in Eswatini - a lower-middle-income country in sub-Saharan Africa with the highest HIV prevalence in the world - an estimated 92% of people living with HIV know their status. We conducted 26 in-depth interviews with stakeholders from policy, implementation, donor, local advocacy and academic sector…

  • Use and awareness of and willingness to self-test for HIV

    Open AccessCheryl Johnson, Melissa Neuman et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    In 2015-16, many Malawian and Zimbabwean men had never tested for HIV. Despite low awareness and minimal HIVST experience, willingness to self-test was high among Zimbabwean men, especially older men with moderate-to-high HIV-related sexual risk. These data provide a valuable baseline against which to investigate population-level uptake of HIVST as programmes scale up. Programmes introducing, or planning to introduce, HIVST should consider includ…

  • Costs of accessing HIV testing services among rural Malawi communities

    Open AccessLinda Sande, Hendramoorthy Maheswaran et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2018

    HIV testing is free in Malawi, but users may still incur costs that can deter or delay them accessing these services. We sought to identify and quantify these costs among HIV testing service clients in Malawi. We asked residents of communities participating in a cluster randomised trial investigating the impact of HIV self-testing about their past HIV testing experiences and the direct non-medical and indirect costs incurred to access HIV testing…

    Open AccessCarmen Figueroa, Cheryl Johnson et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2015

  • HIV Self-Testing in Resource-Limited Settings

    Open AccessVincent Wong, Cheryl Johnson et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2014

    HIV self-testing (HIVST) is an emerging HIV testing strategy intended to address challenges of increasing access to preliminary knowledge of serostatus. It offers the potential for tests and testing to reach more people than previously possible, including those who do not seek testing in facilities. With approval of an HIV self-test kit in the USA, increasing evidence from public pilot programs in sub-Saharan Africa showing high acceptability and…
