  • Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) awareness, use, and discontinuation among Lake Victoria fisherfolk in Uganda

    Open AccessKauthrah Ntabadde, Joseph Kagaayi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    There is limited population-level data on the pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) care continuum in eastern Africa. Here, we assessed the PrEP care continuum following PrEP rollout in a Ugandan community with ~40% HIV seroprevalence. We used cross-sectional population-based data collected between September 3 and December 19, 2018 from a Lake Victoria fishing community in southern Uganda to measure levels of self-reported PrEP awareness, ever-use, and…

  • Population-level coverage and correlates of enrollment in community-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) refill models following differentiated service delivery scale-up in Africa

    Lipin Lukose, Robert Kairania et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2025

    Community-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) distribution is a promising strategy to increase HIV treatment accessibility in Africa, yet population-level coverage and correlates of enrollment are understudied. We pooled data from seven Population-based HIV Impact Assessment surveys (2020–2023) and used survey-weighted multivariable logistic regression with jackknife variance estimation to identify socio-demographic and clinical correlates of enro…

  • Incidence and risk factors for tuberculosis at a rural HIV clinic in Uganda, 2012–2019; A retrospective cohort study

    Open AccessIbrahim Sendagire, Victor Ssempijja et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Incidence of TB among PLHIV on ART was low in this rural population. Clinicians offering care to people with HIV in the rural setting should have a heightened index of suspicion for TB disease

  • HIV epidemiologic trends among occupational groups in Rakai, Uganda

    Open AccessVictor O Popoola, Joseph Kagaayi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Certain occupations have been associated with heightened risk of HIV acquisition and spread in sub-Saharan Africa, including female bar and restaurant work and male transportation work. However, data on changes in population prevalence of HIV infection and HIV incidence within occupations following mass scale-up of African HIV treatment and prevention programs is very limited. We evaluated prospective data collected between 1999 and 2016 from the…

  • Proportion of Ugandans with pre-pandemic Sars-CoV-2 cross-reactive CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell responses

    Open AccessAnnemarie Namuniina, Enoch S Muyanja et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    The estimated mortality rate of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic varied greatly around the world. In particular, multiple countries in East, Central, and West Africa had significantly lower rates of COVID-19 related fatalities than many resource-rich nations with significantly earlier wide-spread access to life-saving vaccines. One possible reason for this lower mortality could be the presence of pre-existing cross-reactive immunological responses in thes…

  • In the era of universal test and treat in Uganda, recent intimate partner violence is not associated with subsequent ART use or viral suppression

    Amanda P Miller, Eileen V Pitpitan et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2023

    Intimate partner violence (IPV) has been associated with delays throughout the HIV care continuum. This study explored prospective associations between experiences of past-year IPV and two HIV care outcomes in the context of current universal test and treat guidelines using two consecutive rounds of an ongoing HIV surveillance study conducted in the Rakai region of Uganda. Longitudinal logistic regression models examined associations between IPV,…

  • Overweight and obesity in south central Uganda

    Open AccessAdeoluwa Ayoola, Robert Ssekubugu et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Obesity is a rapidly growing global health challenge, but there are few population-level studies from non-urban settings in sub-Saharan Africa. We evaluated the prevalence of overweight (body mass index (BMI)>25 kg/m 2 ), obesity (BMI>30 kg/m 2 ), and associated factors using data from May 2018 to November 2020 from the Rakai Community Cohort Study, a population-based cohort of residents aged 15 to 49 living in forty-one fishing, trading, and agr…

  • Qualitative Assessment of Barriers and Facilitators of PrEP Use Before and After Rollout of a PrEP Program for Priority Populations in South-central Uganda

  • How men who have sex with men experience HIV health services in Kampala, Uganda

    Open AccessRachel King, Zubayiri Sebyala et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    In sub-Saharan Africa, men who have sex with men (MSM) are socially, largely hidden and face disproportionate risk for HIV infection. Attention to HIV epidemics among MSM in Uganda and elsewhere in sub-Saharan Africa has been obscured by repressive governmental policies, criminalisation, stigma and the lack of basic epidemiological data describing these epidemics. In this paper, we aim to explore healthcare access, experiences with HIV prevention…

  • Antiretroviral treatment sharing among highly mobile Ugandan fisherfolk living with HIV

    Joseph G Rosen, Neema Nakyanjo et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2020

    Antiretroviral treatment (ART) diversion from prescribed to non-prescribed users (i.e., sharing or selling) is an understudied dimension of HIV treatment adherence. We sought to explore ART diversion patterns in high-prevalence fishing communities on Lake Victoria, Uganda. We implemented a qualitative study in two fishing communities on Lake Victoria in south-central Uganda to identify facilitators of and pathways to ART diversion. We conducted 2…

  • Population-level adult mortality following the expansion of antiretroviral therapy in Rakai, Uganda

    Open AccessDorean Nabukalu, Georges Reniers et al.ARTICLEPopulation Studies2020Referências: 30

    There are limited data on the impact of antiretroviral therapy (ART) on population-level adult mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. We analysed data for 2000-14 from the Rakai Community Cohort Study (RCCS) in Uganda, where free ART was scaled up after 2004. Using non-parametric and parametric (Weibull) survival analysis, we estimated trends in average person-years lived between exact ages 15 and 50, per capita life-years lost to HIV, and the mortalit…

  • Understanding the socio-structural context of high HIV transmission in kasensero fishing community, South Western Uganda

    Open AccessMuhamadi Lubega, Neema Nakyaanjo et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    The current combination HIV prevention services by the RHSP need to be enhanced with more government involvement including ensuring sustainable supply of ART and circumcision services since they are reportedly highly demanded. Community involvement through the engagement of popular peers could also help in the campaign to change the HIV predisposing culture, misconceptions and risky social norms of the population. Social Context HIV Transmission …

  • Effectiveness of Peer Support on Care Engagement and Preventive Care Intervention Utilization Among Pre-antiretroviral Therapy, HIV-Infected Adults in Rakai, Uganda

    Open AccessLarry W Chang, Gertrude Nakigozi et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2015

  • Cost analyses of peer health worker and mHealth support interventions for improving Aids care in Rakai, Uganda

    Larry W Chang, Joseph Kagaayi et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2013

    A cost analysis study calculates resources needed to deliver an intervention and can provide useful information on affordability for service providers and policy-makers. We conducted cost analyses of both a peer health worker (PHW) and a mHealth (mobile phone) support intervention. Excluding supervisory staffing costs, total yearly costs for the PHW intervention was $8475, resulting in a yearly cost per patient of $8.74, per virologic failure ave…

  • Non-enrollment for free community HIV care

    Gertrude Nakigozi, Fredrick Makumbi et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2011

    Improved understanding of HIV-related health-seeking behavior at a population level is important in informing the design of more effective HIV prevention and care strategies. We assessed the frequency and determinants of failure to seek free HIV care in Rakai, Uganda. HIV-positive participants in a community cohort who accepted VCT were referred for free HIV care (cotrimoxazole prophylaxis, CD4 monitoring, treatment of opportunistic infections, a…

  • Which Patients First? Setting Priorities for Antiretroviral Therapy Where Resources Are Limited

    Laura J McGough, Steven J Reynolds et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2005Citada por: 1Referências: 12

    The availability of limited funds from international agencies for the purchase of antiretroviral (ARV) treatment in developing countries presents challenges, especially in prioritizing who should receive therapy. Public input and the protection of human rights are crucial in making treatment programs equitable and accountable. By examining historical precedents of resource allocation, we aim to provoke and inform debate about current ARV programs…
