Systematic dissemination of study findings from local to national stakeholders
Open AccessBenard Ayieko, Edwin D Charlebois et al.ARTICLESAHARA-J Journal of Social…2026
Disseminating research findings to potential beneficiaries such as study participants, community members, and stakeholders is a critical component of participatory research. While there is general agreement that dissemination is critical, documented examples of comprehensive dissemination activities are few in the literature. We present a concrete example of a multi-level stakeholder dissemination process from a successful HIV self-testing and li…
Hazardous alcohol use is associated with sexual behaviors that increase risk for HIV acquisition among fishermen in a high HIV prevalence area of Kenya
Open AccessSarah A Gutin, Holly Nishimura et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2026
Links between hazardous alcohol use and HIV acquisition are well documented, with less known about this relationship among fishermen, a priority group for HIV prevention. We examined associations between hazardous alcohol use and sexual risk behaviors among fishermen in Kenya using 2022 data from 733 fishermen in three Lake Victoria communities. Measures included the AUDIT-C and sexual relationship histories. Logistic regression models assessed a…

Comparing PrEP adherence via objective and self-reported measures among fishermen working on Lake Victoria, Kenya
Open AccessDaniel Adede, Daniel O Adede et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2025
Fishermen working along Lake Victoria experience high rates of HIV acquisition that can be mitigated by pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), which requires adequate adherence for effective prevention. We evaluated PrEP adherence among Kenyan fishermen using objective metrics and examine non-adherence. Data are from the Owete study (NCT04772469), a cluster randomized-controlled trial using a social network approach among fishermen to increase HIV test…
High mortality among fishermen along the beaches of lake Victoria
Open AccessKawango Agot, Benard Ayieko et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025
The causes of death were varied, underscoring the need for a multi-disease approach to address the health risks in high-risk occupations like fishing. Since HIV is one of several significant health threats to fishermen, efforts to end HIV must also address other life-threatening conditions
Gaps in Effective HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Screening and Uptake Among Fishermen in Kenya
Open AccessLila A Sheira, Benard Ayieko et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2025
Despite oral daily HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) effectiveness, uptake remains a challenge. Awareness of one's HIV status and engagement in prevention is essential to interrupting transmission among populations at high risk of HIV. We explored gaps in HIV risk perception, screening, and PrEP uptake among high HIV-risk fishermen living and working along Lake Victoria, Kenya. Data are from the Owete study (NCT04772469), which evaluated the im…
The impact of cash incentives on mental health among adults initiating antiretroviral therapy in Tanzania
Open AccessLila A Sheira, Kyle P Ryan et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2024
Mental illness is prevalent among people living with HIV (PLHIV) and hinders engagement in HIV care. While financial incentives are effective at improving mental health and retention in care, the specific effect of such incentives on the mental health of PLHIV lacks quantifiable evidence. We evaluated the impact of a three-arm randomized controlled trial of a financial incentive program on the mental health of adult antiretroviral therapy (ART) i…
Food Insecurity and Engagement in Transactional Sex Among Female Secondary Students in Rwanda
Open AccessLila A Sheira, Jonathan Izudi et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2023
The relationship between food insecurity and transactional sex is well recognized, but less is known about this relationship among adolescents. We analyzed cross-sectional baseline data from 3,130 female secondary students aged 12-19 enrolled in a three-arm, cluster randomized controlled trial to examine the association between food insecurity and transactional sex. The explanatory variable was food security and the outcome was ever engaging in t…
Longitudinal Relationship Between Food Insecurity, Engagement in Care, and ART Adherence Among US Women Living with HIV

Exploring antiretroviral therapy adherence, competing needs, and viral suppression among people living with HIV and food insecurity in the Dominican Republic
Kathryn P Derose, Bing Han et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2022
Understanding factors related to suboptimal adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and detectable viral load (VL), especially among vulnerable populations, is needed to improve HIV outcomes. The Caribbean is highly impacted by HIV and socioeconomic inequalities, but few studies have been conducted there to explore food insecurity among people with HIV and factors associated with viral suppression in this vulnerable population. Using baseline d…
Preliminary Effects of an Urban Gardens and Peer Nutritional Counseling Intervention on HIV Treatment Adherence and Detectable Viral Load Among People with HIV and Food Insecurity
Open AccessKathryn P Derose, Amarilis Then-Paulino et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2022
The role of food security in increasing adolescent girls’ agency towards sexual risk taking
Open AccessMaricianah Onono, Maricianah A Onono et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021
These findings emphasize the need to address food insecurity as a part of structural interventions targeting adolescent HIV risk in low-resource countries. We recommend that future interventions build upon the Shamba Maisha model by combining sustainable agricultural production, with household level interventions that deliberately target gender norms that contribute to unequal power dynamics
Water Insecurity is Associated with Lack of Viral Suppression and Greater Odds of Aids-Defining Illnesses Among Adults with HIV in Western Kenya
Open AccessJason M Nagata, Joshua D Miller et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2021
Reliable access to safe and acceptable water in sufficient quantities (i.e., water security) is important for medication adherence and limiting pathogen exposure, yet prior studies have only considered the role of food security as a social determinant of HIV-related health. Therefore, the objective of this analysis was to assess the relationships between household water insecurity and HIV-related outcomes among adults living with HIV in western K…
