  • Depression and HIV Care-seeking Behaviors in a Population-based Sample in North West Province, South Africa

    Open AccessLynae A Darbes, Alison M El Ayadi et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2023

    Depression is associated with key HIV-related prevention and treatment behaviors in sub-Saharan Africa. We aimed to identify the association of depressive symptoms with HIV testing, linkage to care, and ART adherence among a representative sample of 18-49 year-olds in a high prevalence, rural area of South Africa. Utilizing logistic regression models (N = 1044), depressive symptoms were inversely associated with reported ever HIV testing (AOR 0.9…

  • Implementing voluntary medical male circumcision using an innovative, integrated, health systems approach

    Open AccessCaryl Feldacker, Batsirai Makunike-Chikwinya et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2018

    BACKGROUND: Despite increased support for voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) to reduce HIV incidence, current VMMC progress falls short. Slow progress in VMMC expansion may be partially attributed to emphasis on vertical (stand-alone) over more integrated implementation models that are more responsive to local needs. In 2013, the ZAZIC consortium began implementation of a 5-year, integrated VMMC program jointly with Ministry of Health and…

  • Engaging HIV-positive clients in care

    Wayne T Steward, Jeri Sumitani et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2018

    Antiretroviral therapy (ART) could curtail the HIV epidemic, but its impact is diminished by low uptake. We developed a peer navigation program to enhance engagement in HIV care, ART adherence, and behavioral prevention. In preparation for a randomized controlled trial, the program was piloted over four months at two primary health clinics in South Africa's North West Province. Newly diagnosed, HIV-positive clients met regularly with navigators t…

  • Success factors for implementing and sustaining a mature electronic medical record in a low-resource setting

    Open AccessE deRiel, N Puttkammer et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2018Referências: 19

    Electronic health information systems, including electronic medical records (EMRs), have the potential to improve access to information and quality of care, among other things. Success factors and challenges for novel EMR implementations in low-resource settings have increasingly been studied, although less is known about maturing systems and sustainability. One systematic review identified seven categories of implementation success factors: ethi…

  • Anti-homosexual legislation and HIV-related stigma in African nations

    Open AccessAmy Hagopian, Deepa Rao et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2017

    BACKGROUND: Gay men and other men who have sex with men are disproportionately burdened by HIV infection. Laws that penalize same-sex intercourse contribute to a cycle of stigma, homonegativity and discrimination. In many African nations, laws criminalizing homosexuality may be fueling the epidemic, as they dissuade key populations from seeking treatment and health care providers from offering it. OBJECTIVES: We analyzed the ways in which policie…

  • Triggering the decision to undergo medical male circumcision

    Kathleen E Wirth, Bazghina-werq Semo et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2016

    In 2007, the World Health Organization endorsed voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) as part of comprehensive HIV-prevention strategies. A major challenge facing VMMC programs in sub-Saharan Africa remains demand creation; there is urgent need for data on key elements needed to trigger the decision among eligible men to seek VMMC. Using qualitative methods, we sought to better understand the circumcision decision-making process in Botswana …

  • Did Pepfar investments result in health system strengthening? A retrospective longitudinal study measuring non-HIV health service utilization at the district level

    Open AccessSamuel Abimerech Luboga, Bert Stover et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2016Citada por: 2Referências: 44

    OBJECTIVES : PEPFAR's initial rapid scale-up approach was largely a vertical effort focused fairly exclusively on AIDS. The purpose of our research was to identify spill-over health system effects, if any, of investments intended to stem the HIV epidemic over a 6-year period with evidence from Uganda. The test of whether there were health system expansions (aside from direct HIV programming) was evidence of increases in utilization of non-HIV ser…

  • Need for improvements in clinical practice to retain patients in pre-antiretroviral therapy care

    Jennifer M Gilvydis, Wayne T Steward et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2015

    We examined current challenges with patient engagement in HIV prevention and care in South Africa by assessing the procedures of eight public health clinics in the North West Province. Procedures consisted of (1) an inventory/audit of the HIV Counseling and Testing, pre-antiretroviral therapy (pre-ART), and antiretroviral therapy (ART) patient registers; (2) extraction of data from a convenience sample of 39 HIV-positive patient files; and (3) 13…

  • A situational analysis methodology to inform comprehensive HIV prevention and treatment programming, applied in rural South Africa

    Open AccessSarah Treves-Kagan, Evasen Naidoo et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2015

    Successful HIV prevention programming requires engaging communities in the planning process and responding to the social environmental factors that shape health and behaviour in a specific local context. We conducted two community-based situational analyses to inform a large, comprehensive HIV prevention programme in two rural districts of North West Province South Africa in 2012. The methodology includes: initial partnership building, goal setti…

  • Why increasing availability of ART is not enough

    Open AccessSarah Treves-Kagan, Wayne T Steward et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    We conclude that providing access to ART alone will not end HIV-related stigma. Instead, individuals will remain hesitant to seek care as long as they fear that doing so will lead to prejudice and discrimination. It is critical to combat this trend by increasing cultural acceptance of being seropositive, integrating HIV care into general primary care and normalizing men and youths' accessing health care

  • Before and after the earthquake

    Open AccessN Puttkammer, Nancy H Puttkammer et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2014

    BACKGROUND: On January 12, 2010, a devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck the West Department of Haiti, killing more than 200,000 people and injuring or displacing many more. This disaster threatened continuity of HIV care and treatment services. OBJECTIVES: This case study examined the effect of the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti on attrition from the HIV antiretroviral therapy (ART) program. DESIGN: The study triangulated retrospecti…

  • Should Medical Education Fight International Brain Drain

    There are “push” factors such as poor working conditions, substandard facilities, unsafe conditions, and low income that discourage health professionals trained in Indian medical schools from staying in country

  • Change in Airflow among Patients with Asthma Discussing Relationship Problems with Their Partners

    Open AccessKaren B Schmaling, Niloofar Afari et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2009Referências: 14

    This study examined the covariation of negative emotions with airflow among 48 persons with asthma and their partners as they discussed relationship problems. Measures included self-reported questionnaires, airflow and behavior coded from videotaped discussions. Significantly increased self-reported hostility and statistically but not clinically significant declines in airflow were found post- versus pre-discussion. Self-reported responses to ast…
