Journal ArticleDOI

Effectiveness of an integrated intimate partner violence and HIV prevention intervention in Rakai, Uganda: analysis of an intervention in an existing cluster randomised cohort

TL;DR: SHARE could reduce some forms of IPV towards women and overall HIV incidence, possibly through a reduction in forced sex and increased disclosure of HIV results, and SHARE's ecological approach could be adopted, at least partly, as a standard of care for other HIV programmes in sub-Saharan Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI

Failure of immunologic criteria to appropriately identify antiretroviral treatment failure in Uganda.

TL;DR: Immunologic failure criteria performed poorly in the setting and would have resulted in a substantial proportion of participants with suppressed HIV-1 viral load being switched unnecessarily, and periodic viral load measurements may be a better marker for treatment failure in this setting.
Journal ArticleDOI

HIV-1 transmission among HIV-1 discordant couples before and after the introduction of antiretroviral therapy.

TL;DR: HIV-1 transmission may be reduced among HIV- 1 discordant couples after initiation of ART due to reductions in HIV-1 viral load and increased consistent condom use.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of a mHealth Intervention for Peer Health Workers on AIDS Care in Rural Uganda: A Mixed Methods Evaluation of a Cluster-Randomized Trial

TL;DR: Qualitative analyses found improvements in patient care and logistics and broad support for the mHealth intervention among patients, clinic staff, and PHWs, and key challenges identified included variable patient phone access, privacy concerns, and phone maintenance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of Peer Health Workers on AIDS Care in Rakai, Uganda: A Cluster-Randomized Trial

TL;DR: A community-based peer health workers (PHW) intervention was associated with decreased virologic failure rates occurring 96 weeks and longer into ART, but did not affect cumulative risk of virology failure, adherence measures, or shorter-term virology outcomes.
