Does enhanced HIV prevention, diagnosis, and linkage to care reduce hospitalisation in high HIV-burden communities in Zambia and South Africa? findings from the HPTN 071 (PopART) randomised trial
The objective of this study is to explore if a community-based HIV combination prevention intervention reduced inpatient hospitalisations in Zambia and South Africa by diagnosing HIV and TB in earlier stages of disease progression, thereby preventing severe disease and new infections. As part of the HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) 071 trial, hospitalisation data from a cohort of 16 968 consenting randomly sampled adults aged 18–44 years were…
The impact of an innovative community-based peer-led intervention on uptake and coverage of sexual and reproductive health services among adolescents and young people 15–24 years old
ISRCTN75609016 (11/10/2021), clinicaltrials.gov number NCT04060420 (19/08/2019); retrospectively registered
Factors associated with use of community-based, peer-led sexual and reproductive health services by adolescent boys and young men aged 18–24 in Lusaka, Zambia
Introduction Adolescents and young people (AYP) aged 15–24 years have the least access to facility-based sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, including HIV services. The Yathu-Yathu cluster-randomized trial (CRT) in Zambia tested whether a novel peer-led community-based approach increased knowledge of HIV status amongst AYP. In this nested case-control study, we aimed to identify factors associated with non-attendance to the Yathu Yathu…
Access to menstrual hygiene products through incentivised, community-based, peer-led sexual and reproductive health services before and during the Covid-19 pandemic
Availability of MHP through Yathu Yathu provided a large number of AGYW with access to these products. Hubs seemed particularly important for adolescent girls. Community-based, peer-led hubs should be considered as spaces to provide AGYW access to affordable and effective MHP
Costs of integrating HIV self-testing in public health facilities in Malawi, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe
INTRODUCTION: As countries approach the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets, there is a need for innovative and cost-saving HIV testing approaches that can increase testing coverage in hard-to-reach populations. The HIV Self-Testing Africa-Initiative distributed HIV self-test (HIVST) kits using unincentivised HIV testing counsellors across 31 public facilities in Malawi, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. HIVST was distributed either through secondary (partn…
Modelling costs of community-based HIV self-testing programmes in Southern Africa at scale
BACKGROUND: Following success demonstrated with the HIV Self-Testing AfRica Initiative, HIV self-testing (HIVST) is being added to national HIV testing strategies in Southern Africa. An analysis of the costs of scaling up HIVST is needed to inform national plans, but there is a dearth of evidence on methods for forecasting costs at scale from pilot projects. Econometric cost functions (ECFs) apply statistical inference to predict costs; however, …
Costs of accessing HIV testing services among rural Malawi communities
HIV testing is free in Malawi, but users may still incur costs that can deter or delay them accessing these services. We sought to identify and quantify these costs among HIV testing service clients in Malawi. We asked residents of communities participating in a cluster randomised trial investigating the impact of HIV self-testing about their past HIV testing experiences and the direct non-medical and indirect costs incurred to access HIV testing…
