Mineworkers are considered a population at risk
for HIV due to risk behaviors associated with migratory work
patterns. This was the first study in Mozambique to determine
the prevalence of HIV and associated demographic and risk
behaviors, and assess use and access to prevention and
healthcare services a...
Background: In low-income countries with poor coverage of healthcare services such as Mozambique, antenatal care serves as a vital tool for providing life-saving and cost-effective services for pregnant mothers. Nonetheless, many countries in Africa, including Mozambique, are struggling to attain an opti...

The Community Antiretroviral (ARV) Therapy Support Group (CASG) program aims to address
low retention rates in Mozambique’s HIV treatment program and the absorptive capacity of the
country’s health facilities. CASG provides patients with the opportunity to form groups, whose
members provide peer supp...

Background: The implementation of quality HIV control programs is crucial for the achievement of the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets and to motivate people living with HIV (PLWHIV) to link and remain in HIV-care. The aim of this mixed method cross-sectional study was to estimate the linkage and long-term retenti...

Introduction: As prevalence of undiagnosed HIV declines, it is unclear whether testing programmes will be cost-effective. To guide their HIV testing programmes, countries require appropriate metrics that can be measured. The cost-per-diagnosis is potentially a useful metric.
Methods: We simulated a serie...

Introduction: People living with HIV (PLHIV) and who are aware of their HIV status can access and benefit from antiretroviral therapy (ART) with subsequent individual and public health benefits; however, many PLHIV are unaware of their HIV status. We assessed the magnitude and determinants of self-report...

Background: In resource-limited rural settings, scale-up of services to eliminate mother-to-child transmission of HIV has not been as effective as in better resourced urban settings. In sub-Saharan Africa, women often require male partner approval to access and remain engaged in HIV care. Our study will...

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) represents the ninth leading cause of death worldwide. In 2016 are estimated 1.3 million TB deaths among HIV negative people and an additional 374,000 deaths among HIV positive people. In 2016 are estimated 1.4 million new cases of TB in people living with HIV (PLHIV), 74% o...

Em resposta ao plano de aceleração de TARV, registamos uma expansão do acesso aos cuidados e tratamento para HIV nos últimos anos. O Serviço Nacional de Saúde (SNS) com as suas limitações em recursos humanos e de infraestruturas, apresenta grandes desafios para oferecer serviços com a qualidade ...
Background: Concerning gaps in the HIV care continuum compromise individual and population health. We evaluated a combination intervention strategy (CIS) targeting prevalent barriers to timely linkage and sustained retention in HIV care in Mozambique.
