Kidney disease screening at ART initiation among adults with HIV in Uganda
Open AccessGrace Kansiime, Joseph Baruch Baluku et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026
Kidney disease affects 850 million people worldwide, with Sub-Saharan Africa bearing a significant burden. People living with HIV (PWH) are at increased risk due to nephrotoxicity of antiretroviral therapy (ART), in part due to widespread use of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. In response, Uganda recommends routine kidney disease screening by doing a serum creatinine test at ART initiation. However, the extent of adherence to these guidelines rema…
The Lived Experiences of Unhealthy Alcohol Use among Young People with HIV in Southwestern Uganda
Open AccessRaymond Odokonyero, Wilson Winstons Muhwezi et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2025
Unhealthy alcohol use among adolescents and young adults living with HIV (AYAH), is common and poses risks to their health and social wellbeing. However, research that explores comorbid unhealthy drinking and HIV among AYAH is limited in Uganda. We conducted semi-structured in-depth interviews with 14 AYAH who self-reported current alcohol use, recruited from the adolescent immunosuppression (ISS) clinic of Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital in S…
The Relationship between Age at Initiation of Regular Drinking of Alcohol and Viral Suppression Status, and Depression Symptoms Among People Living with HIV in South-Western Uganda
Open AccessRaymond Odokonyero, Robin Fatch et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2023
Alcohol use is an important factor in achieving and maintaining viral suppression and optimal mental health among persons with HIV (PWH), however, the effect of age at first regular drinking on viral suppression and depression remains poorly understood. Here, using secondary data from the Alcohol Drinkers' Exposure to Preventive Therapy for Tuberculosis (ADEPT-T) study, we used logistic regression analyses to explore whether there is an associati…
Costs of a Brief Alcohol Consumption Reduction Intervention for Persons Living with HIV in Southwestern Uganda
Open AccessJudith A Hahn, Sebastian Kevany et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2023
Low-cost interventions are needed to reduce alcohol use among persons with HIV (PWH) in low-income settings. Brief alcohol interventions hold promise, and technology may efficiently deliver brief intervention components with high frequency. We conducted a costing study of the components of a randomized trial that compared a counselling-based intervention with two in-person one-on-one sessions supplemented by booster sessions to reinforce the inte…
Effects of a Covid-19 Public Health Lockdown on Drinking and Health Behavior Among Persons with HIV and with Unhealthy Alcohol use in Uganda
Open AccessBrian Beesiga, Kara Marson et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2023
To better understand the impact of Uganda’s initial COVID-19 lockdown on alcohol use, we conducted a cross-sectional survey (August 2020-September 2021) among persons with HIV (PWH) with unhealthy alcohol use (but not receiving an alcohol intervention), enrolled in a trial of incentives to reduce alcohol use and improve isoniazid preventive therapy. We examined associations between bar-based drinking and decreased alcohol use, and decreased alcoh…
Unhealthy alcohol use and intimate partner violence among men and women living with HIV in Uganda
Open AccessAmanda P Miller, Robin Fatch et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022
Prevalence of IPV victimization was comparable to estimates from a recent national survey, while perpetration among men was lower than expected. Alcohol use level was not associated with IPV victimization. It is possible that alcohol use in this sample was too high to detect differences in IPV. Our results suggest that women and younger PWH are priority populations for IPV prevention
Bar Attendance and Alcohol Use Before and After Covid-19 Related Restrictions Among HIV-infected Adults in South-Western Uganda
Open AccessCaroline Asiimwe, Robin Fatch et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2022
Alcohol use is especially problematic for people living with HIV (PLWH) and was likely to be impacted by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and its restrictions. In a study of PLWH with latent tuberculosis infection, we measured unhealthy alcohol use with the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT-C), phosphatidylethanol (PEth) and bar attendance. We analyzed data collected before and after COVID-19 restrictions, and used Gener…

Assessing the interaction between depressive symptoms and alcohol use prior to antiretroviral therapy on viral suppression among people living with HIV in Rural Uganda
James D Foley, Jacklyn D Foley et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2020
Although there is evidence of individual associations between depressive symptoms and hazardous alcohol use with suboptimal antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence among people living with HIV (PLWH), few studies have established how the two risk factors may interact to predict viral suppression. We conducted secondary data analyses with two cohorts of Ugandan PLWH (N = 657) to investigate the hypothesized interaction between depressive symptoms (…
HIV Infection and risk of postpartum infection, complications and mortality in rural Uganda
Lisa M Bebell, Joseph Ngonzi et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2018
HIV infection may increase risk of postpartum infection and infection-related mortality. We hypothesized that postpartum infection incidence and attributable mortality in Mbarara, Uganda would be higher in HIV-infected than HIV-uninfected women. We performed a prospective cohort study of 4231 women presenting to a regional referral hospital in 2015 for delivery or postpartum care. All febrile or hypothermic women, and a subset of randomly selecte…
Phosphatidylethanol confirmed alcohol use among ART-naïve HIV-infected persons who denied consumption in rural Uganda
Winnie Muyindike, Winnie R Muyindike et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2017
Under-reporting of alcohol use by HIV-infected patients could adversely impact clinical care. This study examined factors associated with under-reporting of alcohol consumption by patients who denied alcohol use in clinical and research settings using an alcohol biomarker. We enrolled ART-naïve, HIV-infected adults at Mbarara Hospital HIV clinic in Uganda. We conducted baseline interviews on alcohol use, demographics, Spirituality and Religiosity…

Qualitative Study of Changes in Alcohol Use Among HIV-Infected Adults Entering Care and Treatment for HIV/Aids in Rural Southwest Uganda
Open AccessRadhika Sundararajan, Monique A Wyatt et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2014
Alcohol has a substantial negative impact on the HIV epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Uganda, where heavy alcohol consumption is common. Using a content analytic approach, this qualitative study characterizes changes in alcohol use among 59 HIV-infected Ugandan adults (>18 years old), who reported any alcohol use in the previous year as they entered HIV care. Most participants reported attempting to cease or reduce alcohol intake o…
