  • HIV self-testing preferences among adolescent girls and young women (Agyw) in urban settings in Uganda

    Open AccessLaban Muteebwa, Patience A Muwanguzi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    HIV self-testing (HIVST) is a crucial innovation for improving testing coverage, particularly among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) who are inadequately reached by standard provider-assisted HIV testing approaches. Understanding their preferences for HIVST services is essential for designing models that optimize uptake. We assessed the HIVST preferences among AGYW at a higher risk of acquiring HIV living in urban Uganda. We enrolled AGYW …

  • Acceptability of HIV self-testing among HIV high-risk Adolescent Girls and Young Women (Agyw) in urban settings in Uganda

    Open AccessLaban Muteebwa, Joanita Nangendo et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW) bear a disproportionate burden of HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa, but HIV testing in this sub-population is sub-optimal. HIV self-testing (HIVST) is an evidence-based intervention that has been shown to improve testing rates among AGYW; however, its acceptability in this sub-population remains under-explored. We assessed the acceptability of HIVST and associated factors among HIV high-risk AGYW. We enrolled HIV …

  • Uptake of Human Papilloma Virus vaccine among young women living in fishing communities in Wakiso and Mukono districts, Uganda

    Open AccessLaban Muteebwa, Gertrude Nanyonjo et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is a preventable cause of cervical cancer, the commonest cancer among women in Uganda. The Uganda Ministry of Health included the HPV vaccine in the free routine immunization schedule since 2015. Five years after this policy, we assessed the uptake of the HPV vaccine and associated socio-demographic factors among young women living in fishing communities in Central Uganda in 2020. We analyzed secondary data from 94 you…

  • Acceptability of short message service reminders as the support tool for PrEP adherence among young women in Mukono district, Uganda

    Open AccessLaban Muteebwa, Edith Joloba Nakku et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) have a disproportionately high incidence of HIV compared to males of the same age in Uganda. AGYW are a priority sub-group for daily oral Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), but their adherence has consistently remained low. Short Message Service (SMS) reminders could improve adherence to PrEP in AGYW. However, there is paucity of literature about acceptability of SMS reminders among AGYW using PrEP. We assess…
