  • Barriers and facilitators to implementing a single-visit, screen-and-treat approach with thermal ablation for cervical cancer prevention in Kenya

    Open AccessHarriet Fridah Adhiambo, Emmah Owidi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Cervical cancer continues to be a major global threat to women's health, with approximately 660,000 women diagnosed annually, 94% of whom are in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The high disease burden in LMICs is partly due to suboptimal adoption and widespread implementation of effective preventive interventions. This study explored drivers of implementation success and failure for a future single-visit, screen, and treat approach with…

  • Examining and classifying reasons for missing viral loads among adults living with HIV

    Open AccessHarriet Fridah Adhiambo, Jayne Lewis-Kulzer et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Gaps in HIV RNA monitoring persist globally impeding the ability to determine clinical progress and outcomes. This study systematically evaluated provider (e.g., guideline non-adherence), system (e.g., laboratory error) and participant-level (e.g., refusal) drivers of missed viral load (VL) monitoring measurements among people with HIV in Kenya. Adults aged 18–65 years were followed across five health facilities in Kenya as part of a clinical tri…

  • Experiences and perceptions of conditional cash incentive provision and cessation among people with HIV for care engagement

    Open AccessJulia Giordano, Jayne Lewis-Kulzer et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    CCTs do not appear to exert their effects through motivation, but instead act through creating opportunities for better care engagement. This study helps us better understand the durability of financial incentives for HIV care engagement and support the idea that careful consideration be exercised when implementing incentives for sustainable engagement effects

  • A youth-centred approach to improving engagement in HIV services

    Open AccessEliud Akama, Laura K Beres et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    Introduction Innovative interventions are needed to improve HIV outcomes among adolescents and young adults (AYAs) living with HIV. Engaging AYAs in intervention development could increase effectiveness and youth acceptance, yet research is limited. We applied human-centred design (HCD) to refine adherence-support interventions pretrial and assessed HCD workshop acceptability

  • Randomized controlled trial of a theory-informed mHealth intervention to support ART adherence and viral suppression among women with HIV in Mombasa, Kenya

    Open AccessFrances M Aunon, George Wanje et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    This trial was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02627365, 10/12/2015; http://clinicaltrials.gov )

  • Attitudes towards and experiences with economic incentives for engagement in HIV care and treatment

    Open AccessSarah Iguna, Monica Getahun et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Growing literature has shown heterogenous effects of conditional cash incentives (CCIs) on HIV care retention. The field lacks insights into reasons why incentives impact various patients in different ways–differences that may be due to variations in psychological and social mechanisms of effect. A deeper understanding of patients’ perceptions and experiences of CCIs for retention may help to clarify these mechanisms. We conducted a qualitative s…

  • HIV status disclosure patterns and male partner reactions among pregnant women with HIV on lifelong ART in Western Kenya

    L Abuogi, K Hampanda et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2020

    Disclosure of HIV status to sexual partners in the context of prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) may contribute to improved PMTCT outcomes. We administered a questionnaire to 200 women with HIV enrolled in a PMTCT study during pregnancy at 12 months after birth in Western Kenya between May-September 2017. Descriptive analysis of disclosure patterns and multivariate analysis of factors associated with male partner reactions is pres…

  • From ‘half-dead’ to being ‘free’

    Sydney A Spangler, L Abuogi et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2018

    In sub-Saharan Africa, self-disclosure of HIV-positive status may be a pivotal action for improving access to prevention of mother-to-child transmission services. However, understanding of HIV stigma and disclosure, and their effects on demand for care remains incomplete - particularly in the current context of new antiretroviral therapy guidelines. The purpose of this study was to explore these issues among self-disclosed couples living in south…

  • Health facility challenges to the provision of Option B+ in western Kenya

    Open AccessAnna Helova, Eliud Akama et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2016Citada por: 1Referências: 23

    Current WHO guidelines recommend lifelong antiretroviral therapy (ART) for all HIV-positive individuals, including pregnant and breastfeeding women (Option B+) in settings with generalized HIV epidemics. While Option B+ is scaled-up in Kenya, insufficient adherence and retention to care could undermine the expected positive impact of Option B+. To explore challenges to the provision of Option B+ at the health facility level, we conducted forty in…
