The study triangulated quantitative and qualitative research methods. A survey with 770 female students was used to quantify the female students’ sexual practice. Eight face-to-face in-depth interviews were conducted using an in-depth interview guide, and eight face-to-face focus group discussions were conducted using a focus group discussion guide. The study revealed that the risk perception of getting pregnant was high, 94%, across universities although variations were noted, 97% at UZ and 88% at CUT. The risk of contracting STIs was also high in both universities, 88%, however it was high at UZ, 89% than 85% at CUT. The risk perception of contracting HIV infection was also high, 86%, across universities although marginal variations were noted, 87% at CUT and 85% at UZ. Qualitative results revealed that female students acknowledged the risks due to their own sexual behaviours, partner refusing to use condoms, and conducting sex parties. The study recommends that information on the dangers of reproductive health problems should be disseminated to students. There is need to encourage students to effectively and consistently use contraceptives.","PeriodicalId":241088,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of HIV/AIDS Prevention, Education and Behavioural Science","volume":"137 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122285107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

WHO recommends accelerated Anti-retroviral Therapy initiation for all persons living with HIV (PLHIV) for improved quality-of-life and preventing new vertical and horizontal infections, using same drug – Emtricitabine, Tenofovir and Efaverenz (once daily Atripla). The policy paper seeks to make a case that the National PMTCT task team and the Federal Ministry of health of Nigeria, should make a policy change, and shift from the current Option B PMTCT option. The option provides Antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) to pregnant HIV positive women who do for PMTCT, but discontinue them after cessation of breast-feeding, when the viral load is above 500cells/mm3. It proposes that the country should rather adopt the test and treat all policy for all HIV infected persons. The methodology entails the search and use of literature to demonstrate the multiple advantages of early commencement of treatment for all new of HIV infections, considering this has been shown to reduce morbidity and mortality. The results indicate that test and treat all for life, is now less complex as same drug regimen are used in PMTCT and other non PMTCT adult infections. Studies also show that virologic suppression (undetectable) leads to prevention of new HIV transmission (untransmitable), and this applies to different modes of HIV transmission. The brief concludes by proposing that the Federal Ministry of Health, the National AIDS Control agency, and all actors in Nigeria’s HIV terrains should adopt the WHO test and treat guidelines. This remains a critical step for the elimination of Paediatric HIV infections.","PeriodicalId":241088,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of HIV/AIDS Prevention, Education and Behavioural Science","volume":"304 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133246099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Religion/Spirituality (R/S) including traditional beliefs and practices (TP) play an important role for most people living with HIV (PLWHIV) in Zimbabwe. PLWHIV conceive and practice healing holistically, embracing not only the physical conditions, but also the spiritual, psycho-emotional, social, and ecological dimensions. Objective: This scoping review aims to systematically map the research done around R/S and TP and HIV in Zimbabwe. It intends to describe what is known about the role and influence of R/S on the experience of living with HIV in Zimbabwe in general and especially, to illustrate the influence of R/S and TP on the physical and psychological wellbeing of PLWHIV, and the access to HIV care. Design: This scoping review followed the Joanna Briggs Institute’s guidelines. The online databases Medline & ATLA were used to identify articles published between 2010–2021 about R/S and TP and HIV in Zimbabwe. The review includes textual papers, qualitative, quantitative, and mixed studies. Results: 638 records were found and screened for inclusion. 46 records were considered relevant for the qualitative and quantitative synthesis. Most articles (27) addressed the influence of traditional beliefs and practices on health and HIV and 16 records examined the influence of religious beliefs and religious groups’ attitude on HIV. The qualitative synthesis illustrates the influence of R/S and TP on physical and psychological wellbeing and on access to HIV care of PLWHIV in Zimbabwe, thus portraying the medical relevance of R/S issues and TP. Further synthesis identified three areas of conflict with biomedical practice: The bio-psycho-socio-spiritual understanding of health and illness, the notion of patriarchy, and the perception of sexuality and procreation. Here religious/spiritual ontologies may lead to compromised biomedical therapy outcomes. Conclusion: This scoping review includes papers of authors from different backgrounds (theology, medicine, sociology). The synthesis of the content of the records revealed a coherent picture of themes addressed and problems identified. Thus, this review is a fair description of the experience of living with HIV in Zimbabwe and the medical relevance of R/S and TP. The findings show that religious/spiritual ontologies need to be considered and integrated into the design of new health programs. It must be the aim to avoid compromised therapy outcome and to further a holistic support of PLWHIV. This is only possible in collaboration with religious stakeholders and traditional practitioners.","PeriodicalId":241088,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of HIV/AIDS Prevention, Education and Behavioural Science","volume":"299 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114329314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The option-B approach of providing antiretroviral drugs was adopted by Nigeria, which contributed 32% of global gaps in Preventing Mother to child transmission (PMTCT). In Plateau State, which had 7.7% HIV prevalence, incessant ethnoreligious conflict created challenges impacting on HIV service delivery and access to treatment centers. PMTCT diagnostics conducted by the lead HIV implementing Partner (IP), revealed that several communities in Jos, Plateau State, lacked HIV treatment centers, but were also unable to access existing centers because of conflict related partitioning of Jos, calling for specialized strategies and collaboration to scale-up to affected communities. To bridge existing challenges related to distrust amongst communities, the intervention strategy identified six community oriented resource persons (CORPs), of same ethnoreligious dispensation as people in affected communities, who also possessed HIV programing competencies, to lead the intervention. The project methodology included engagement of community gatekeepers and Plateau HIV stakeholders, who generated context specific strategies to enter these communities and scale-up HIV/PMTCT. The lead CORPs included a female public health/HIV physician, another clinician who owned a community hospital, a HIV laboratory personnel, a HIV trained Data officer, a religious cleric/youth leader and a female expert patient cum member of Federation of Muslim women association of Nigeria (FOMWAN). Collaborating with various stakeholders, they birthed a community faith based organization they called Muslim Health Initiative of Nigeria (MUHIN). This served as platform for community engagement to scale-up HIV/PMTCT services. The Lead HIV Partner supported, engaged and funded MUHIN to provide context specific scale-up to address existing gaps. MUHIN identified, assessed, upgraded and activated twenty-eight community clinics for HIV/PMTCT service deliver, building on existing Maternal, child and New-born health (MNCH) structures. They provided HIV trainings, MNCH materials, national data-capture tools and capacity building to the identified facilities, staff and CORPs. They stratified according to facility capacity, and linked them using the Hub-and-spoke model, to provide HIV testing, PMTCT and Antiretroviral therapy (ART) services. In order to bridge existing human resource for health gaps existing at the clinics, community health workers and HIV positive women who had successfully completed PMTCT programs were engaged and trained according to task shifting and task sharing (TSTS) guidelines, in preparation for HIV/PMTCT activation using HCT as entry. We conclude that detailed diagnostics, planning and utilization of context-specific strategies including TSTS are critical for successful project outcomes.","PeriodicalId":241088,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of HIV/AIDS Prevention, Education and Behavioural Science","volume":"250 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132289681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ten key informants who had defaulted from HIV care and treatment for five or more months were engaged in in-depth interviews on reasons behind defaulting. Thematic analysis using NVivo was conducted to identify emerging themes. Results: Reasons for defaulting from ART treatments which emerged include being tired of using the ART medications for a long time, not experiencing HIV related symptoms, fear of stigma and shame of being known to use ART, inadequate food, fear of side effects and use of local herbs as alternative. Other reasons include long distance to the health facilities and long waiting time for the services at the facility.

This study aimed to estimates HIV prevalence among MSM in 2018 in Congo and identified associated factors. Methods: Cross-sectional study using the respondent-driven sampling method was conducted. Blood samples were collected and tested for HIV. Chi-square or Fischer test was used for proportion comparisons and logistic regression was carried out to assess predictors of HIV infection in MSM using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. Results: HIV prevalence among 182 MSM was 41,2%. Average age was 25±5 years. Current age between 25-29 years (ORa=18.9 [1.9 – 25.0]; p=0.01), current age between 30-34 years (ORa=47 [40.0 – 59.0]; p=0.003), not use condoms for passive penetration (ORa=5.2 [1.1 – 24.1]; p=0.03), and non-use of the condom due to faithfulness to one's partner (ORa=6.9 [1.9 - 25.1]; p=0.003) were found associated with HIV infection among MSM.
