Negative client-provider interactions remain a major reason for TI and a barrier to return to care, especially for men.

    Community-wide flooding in high HIV-burdened districts affects continuity of HIV care, especially in resource-limited countries in sub-Saharan Africa. We explored the lived experiences of antiretroviral therapy (ART) clients and health care workers (HCWs) in Malawi to understand challenges and potential solutions for ART delivery during floods. This was a mixed methods study. In quantitative analysis, we used routine program data from Partners in…

    Open AccessStephanie Chamberlin, Misheck Mphande et al.ARTICLESSM - Qualitative Research in…2025

    Research on chronic care management from other settings indicates that people’s formal education (e.g., primary, secondary, and tertiary schooling) may confer important cognitive skills and material resources to help them manage their chronic HIV care and treatment.

We conducted a cross-sectional survey among individuals …

    Corrina Moucheraud, Jenna Paul-Schultz et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2022

    Few studies have examined gender differences in reported quality of life among persons living with HIV (PLWH) in low-income countries. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of adults on antiretroviral therapy in Malawi, including questions focused on wellbeing, and collected clinical data on these respondents. We compared men's and women's self-reported health and wellbeing using Poisson models that included socio-demographic covariates. Approxim…

  • How HIV Clients Find Their Way Back to the ART Clinic

    Open AccessStephanie Chamberlin, Misheck Mphande et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2021

    Retention in antiretroviral therapy (ART) services is critical to achieving positive health outcomes for individuals living with HIV, but accumulating evidence indicates that individuals are likely to miss ART appointments over time. Thus, it is important to understand why individuals miss appointments and how they re-engage in HIV care. We used in-depth interviews with 44 ART clients in Malawi who recently missed an ART appointment (> 14 days) b…

    Male partners in Malawi want to be involved in decisions about cervical cancer screening, but have limited knowledge about screening, and hold rigid beliefs about gender norms that may affect their support for screening. Messaging campaigns addressing men's concerns may be instrumental in improving women's adoption of cervical cancer screening services in Malawi and similar settings
