    Open AccessGladys Moraa Ontuga, Dorothy I Mangale et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2026

    Adolescents and young adults living with HIV (AYAH) face significant challenges when transitioning from adolescent to adult HIV services. Up to 50% of AYAH do not remain engaged in care after transition, which may result in virological failure. We sought to understand challenges to clinic transitions and youth-identified solutions to optimize health outcomes. We conducted three focus group discussions (FGDs) (n = 33) and a 4-day participatory, hu…

This formative qualitative study was conducted among AYA enrolled in…

    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

  • Politics, Etiquette, and the Fight against HIV/Aids in Kenya

    Open AccessZachary Kwena, Zachary Arochi KwenaARTICLEAfrica Development2005

    HIV/AIDS is the single most serious socio-economic and health problem affecting Kenya presently. The rapid spread of the epidemic resulted from the failure of government to recognise it as a problem early enough and institute necessary measures to counter it. Today, there are efforts from various stakeholders to slow down the spread of the epidemic. Some of these efforts have caused much debate and controversy, sometimes taking a political angle.…
