Preferred characteristics of long-acting injectable antiretroviral treatment for adolescents with HIV in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
User and Provider Experiences with a Digital Health Family Planning Counseling Tool for Women Living with HIV in Kenya
Women living with HIV(WLHIV) have diverse and complex reproductive health needs that require patient‐centered, informed decision‐making. Digital tools to support reproductive life planning may improve reproductive health counseling and outcomes for these women. We evaluated user experiences with a self‐administered, tablet‐based family planning (FP) counseling tool as part of a digital health intervention implemented within a cluster randomized t…
Motivations for Polysubstance Use with Methamphetamine and Opioids Among People Who Use Drugs in Seattle, WA
BACKGROUND: The United States has seen a remarkable increase in the use of both methamphetamine and opioids, used concurrently or simultaneously. This trend has been particularly marked in urban centers on the West Coast. The motivation for co-use among people who use drugs in this important region is not yet clear. METHODS: We conducted in-depth semi-structured interviews with people who regularly used both methamphetamine and opioids recruited …
Sustainability of an evidence-based intervention supporting transition to independent care for youth living with HIV in Kenya
Integrating and sustaining evidence-based interventions (EBIs) in routine care is crucial to improving HIV treatment outcomes among youth living with HIV (YLH). However, EBIs are often not sustained post clinical trial. An Adolescent Transition Package (ATP) delivered by health care workers (HCWs) and tested in Kenya in 2021 significantly improved YLH readiness to transition to independent care. Post-trial, participating clinics could continue us…
Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on mental health and viral suppression among persons living with HIV in western Washington
The COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing measures elevated stress levels globally, exacerbating mental health challenges for people with HIV (PWH). We examined the effect of COVID-19-related stress on mental health among PWH in western Washington, exploring whether social support and coping self-efficacy were protective. Data on COVID-19-related stress, mental health, social support, and coping self-efficacy were collected using online surveys…
Adolescent experiences, perceptions, and preferences for the process of HIV status disclosure in Kenya
Introduction: Disclosure of HIV status to adolescents living with HIV has been associated with improved treatment outcomes. However, there are limited data regarding the experiences of, perceptions of, and preferences for the process of disclosure of HIV status among adolescents and young adults living with HIV (AYLH), especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Methods: Young adults living with HIV from 20 HIV clinics in Kenya who participated in a clinic…
Considering Risks to Researchers and Staff in Low-Resource Settings during Public Health Crises
Human subjects research protections have historically focused on mitigating risk of harm and promoting benefits for research participants. In many low-resource settings (LRS), complex and often severe challenges in daily living, poverty, geopolitical uprisings, sociopolitical, economic, and climate crises increase the burdens of even minimal risk research. While there has been important work to explore the scope of ethical responsibilities of res…
Key influences on the decision to initiate PrEP among adolescent girls and young women within routine maternal child health and family planning clinics in Western Kenya
We sought to understand influences on PrEP uptake among Kenyan adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) whose decision on PrEP use was misaligned with their risk for HIV acquisition. In-depth interviews were conducted with 47 Kenyan HIV-negative AGYW aged 15-24 years who were offered PrEP during routine maternal and child health and family planning services. AGYW were sampled from two groups (1) declined PrEP and had ≥1 sexual partner(s) of unknow…
“It’s about making adolescents in charge of their health”
The health care transition (HCT) from pediatric to adult care is a potential contributor to poor clinical outcomes among adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV). In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), there is limited information on effective tools and processes to prepare and support ALHIV through this transition. This study elicited perspectives of policy-makers regarding barriers and facilitators to successful HCT among ALHIV in Kenya. Twenty in-depth inter…
