  • Caregiver attitudes towards HIV testing and contraceptive services for adolescents in Tanzania

    Katalia Alexander, David Gitagno et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2026

    Adolescents are disproportionately vulnerable to unintended pregnancies and delayed HIV treatment in low-resource settings. Tanzanian policies support adolescent access to contraception and HIV testing and counseling (HTC) without parental consent if needed; however, parent/guardian disapproval could lead to unmet service needs. This qualitative study explores factors that influence caregivers’ attitudes towards adolescents accessing these servic…

  • Adolescents’ and young women’s perspectives on participation in biomedical clinical trials for HIV prevention in Tanzania and India

    Allison Pack, Hee Do Jeon et al.ARTICLEVulnerable Children and Youth…2025Referências: 1

    Adolescent girls and young women are disproportionately affected by HIV in many lower-resource settings. These individuals are often excluded from early clinical trials for new HIV prevention products, thus delaying potential access. We explored adolescent girls' and young women's (AGYW) perceptions of HIV risk, perspectives on trial participation, and understanding of research concepts. Individual or repeated in-depth interviews were conducted w…

    Background: In lower-resource settings like Tanzania, people living with schizophrenia (PWS) rely on their families for much of their social support, thus leading family members to become their main caregivers. How PWS and their families understand and implement social support can profoundly impact recovery pathways. This study examines how PWS and caregivers of PWS in Tanzania describe receiving and giving social support. We describe, from the p…

  • Burden of HIV-related stigma and associated factors among women living with depression accessing PMTCT services in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

    Anna Minja, Anna Agape Minja et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2022

    HIV-related stigma represents a potent risk factor for a range of poor health outcomes, including mental health symptoms, treatment non-adherence, and substance use. Understanding the role of HIV-related stigma in promoting healthcare outcomes is critical for vulnerable populations, such as pregnant women living with HIV, in contexts with continued high rates of HIV and associated stigma, such as sub-Saharan Africa. The current study examined a r…

This study had the following aims: (1) estimate the prevalence of IPV post-disclosure of HIV status among pregnant women living with HIV and depression; and (2) evaluate risk and protective factors for IPV post-disclosure. Participants were women accessing PMTCT services at 16 health facilities in Dar es Salaam and screened at the threshold of 9 on …

  • Experiences with disclosure of HIV-positive status to the infected child”

    Open AccessAdellah Sariah, Joan Rugemalila et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    In order to prevent inconsistencies during the disclosure process, it is important to have in place clear guidelines and standardized paediatric HIV disclosure training for healthcare providers. This would help improve their skills in paediatric disclosure, leading to positive health outcomes for children infected with HIV
