Introduction: AIDS-mortality remains unacceptably high in sub-Saharan Africa, largely driven by advanced HIV disease (AHD). We nested a study in an existing tuberculosis (TB) contact-tracing intervention (Xpatial-TB). The aim was to assess the burden of AHD among high-risk people living with HIV (PLHIV) ...

Introduction: WHO recommends implementing a mix of community and facility testing strategies to diagnose 95% of persons living with HIV (PLHIV). In Mozambique, a country with an estimated 506,000 undiagnosed PLHIV, use of home-based HIV testing services (HBHTS) to help achieve the 95% target has not been...

Introduction: The neurodevelopmental impact of HIV infection in older children has been welldescribed, with characterization of HIV-associated encephalopathy (HIVE) and associated cognitive
defects. HIVE is relatively common in older children who were vertically infected. The sparse literature on HIVE in...
Uptake of HIV testing and antiretroviral therapy (ART) services during antenatal care (ANC) in rural Mozambique is disappointing. To nurture supportive male engagement in ANC services, we partnered with traditional birth attendants and trained a new type of male-to-male community health agent, "Male Cham...

Effective implementation of the national Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) programs require monitoring the HIV epidemic trends to identify programmatic successes, challenges, and needed improvements. HIV prevalence estimates, defined as the percentage of a population affected by HIV, are calculated by t...

The ability to understand another’s emotions and act appropriately, empathy, is an important mediator of
relationship function and health intervention fidelity. We adapted the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) – an empathy
scale – among seroconcordant expectant couples with HIV in the Homens par...
Examinamos os fatores associados ao rastreamento do vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV) e desenvolvemos um mapa de superfície de prevalência de rastreamento de HIV usando técnicas de interpolação espacial para identificar as áreas geográficas com as maiores e menores taxas de rastreamento de ...
Introduction: With improved access to anti-retroviral therapy (ART) the focus of HIV treatment is changing to reducing chronic co-morbidities and their effects, but guidelines for HIV care in many African countries do not include screening for cardiac disease. Our study aimed to determine the pattern of ...
