  • “When a man is stressed, it replicates in the house”

    Open AccessHellen Moraa, Joan Mutahi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Mental health conditions are a major public health concern in the African region, where women experience a high prevalence of maternal mental health conditions and limited access to adequate care. This issue is particularly severe among women living with HIV (WLHIV), who face a heightened risk of depression and anxiety. Despite the well-documented association between male partner-related factors and maternal/child health outcomes, their impact on…

  • 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, …

  • 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

    Zoe Rogers, Jillian Pintye et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2022

    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…
