  • Long-Acting HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Preferences Through Pregnancy and the Postpartum Period Among Women in Kenya

    Open AccessTessa Concepcion, Salphine Watoyi et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2026

    Adherence to daily oral HIV PrEP wanes over pregnancy and postpartum and new long-acting injectable HIV PrEP (LAI-PrEP) methods may address barriers to effective use. Understanding changing LAI-PrEP preferences during the perinatal period could inform the integration into maternal healthcare. We used data from a randomized trial of pregnant women initiating daily oral HIV PrEP at five public maternal child health facilities in western Kenya, foll…

  • Prevalence, severity and correlates of dysmenorrhea among postpartum women in Western Kenya

    Open AccessMadalitso Khwepeya, Jillian Pintye et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Dysmenorrhea is the most common menstrual disorder globally, contributing the highest disease burden of any gynecological issue in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Yet, limited data exist on dysmenorrhea among women in LMICs, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, including countries like Kenya. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using data from the PrIMA-Extension Study, a large prospective cohort study that enrolled women during preg…

  • Evaluating the safety of prenatal HIV PrEP use

    Open AccessBen Odhiambo, Joshua Stern et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Existing data support the safety of daily oral tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-based HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use in pregnancy, yet ongoing monitoring is needed. We analyzed data from three recently completed HIV PrEP safety and implementation studies (PrIMA, PrIMA-X, and mWACh-PrEP) that enrolled women who were offered and/or initiated TDF-based HIV PrEP at routine health clinics in Western Kenya to summarize perinatal outcomes fo…

  • Cofactors of earlier uptake of modern postpartum family planning methods in Kenya

    Open AccessNancy Ngumbau, Damaris Kimonge et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    There are limited data on uptake of postpartum family planning (FP), particularly in high HIV prevalence settings. We assessed the timing of modern postpartum FP initiation and the cofactors of earlier uptake using longitudinal data from a clinical trial conducted in Kenya to assess two models of PrEP delivery among pregnant and postpartum women (NCT#03070600). Time to uptake of modern postpartum FP was estimated using survival analysis methods, …

  • STEM for Everyone

    Open AccessAmy‐Jane Griffiths, John Brady et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2021

    Some students with autism spectrum disorder and other learning differences may have superior visual acuity, increased attentional focus, and logical thinking abilities, lending to an affinity for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. At the same time, economists report that, the United States will experience a 28.2% increase in STEM-related jobs between 2014 and 2024. Although students with disabilities (SWD) can help t…

  • Implications of Combined Exposure to Household Air Pollution and HIV on Neurocognition in Children

    Open AccessMegan Suter, Catherine J Karr et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2018

    Air pollution exposure and HIV infection can each cause neurocognitive insult in children. The purpose of this study was to test whether children with combined high air pollution exposure and perinatal HIV infection have even greater risk of neurocognitive impairment. This was a cross-sectional study of HIV-uninfected unexposed (HUU) and HIV-infected children and their caregivers in Nairobi, Kenya. We used a detailed neuropsychological battery to…
