Journal ArticleDOI
Cervical cancer prevention and treatment research in Africa: a systematic review from a public health perspective
Sarah Finocchario-Kessler,Catherine Wexler,May Maloba,Natabhona Mabachi,Florence Ndikum-Moffor,Elizabeth A. Bukusi,Elizabeth A. Bukusi +6 more
TL;DR: Cervical cancer research in African countries has increased steadily over the past decade, but more is needed as quality of life of cervical cancer survivors and secondary prevention are two severely under-researched areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the HIV Infant Tracking System (HITSystem) to optimise quality and efficiency of early infant diagnosis: a cluster-randomised trial in Kenya.
Sarah Finocchario-Kessler,Brad Gautney,An-Lin Cheng,Catherine Wexler,May Maloba,Niaman Nazir,Samoel Khamadi,Raphael Lwembe,Melinda Brown,Thomas A. Odeny,Thomas A. Odeny,Jacinda K. Dariotis,Matthew Sandbulte,Natabhona Mabachi,Kathy Goggin,Kathy Goggin +15 more
TL;DR: Infants enrolled in the HITSystem were significantly more likely to receive complete early infant diagnosis services compared with those assigned standard of care, and no intervention effect was recorded at high-volume hospitals, but strong effects were seen at medium-volume and low- volume hospitals.
Journal ArticleDOI
The time has come to make cervical cancer prevention an essential part of comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services for HIV-positive women in low-income countries
TL;DR: The gaps in cervical cancer prevention, the state of evidence for integrating cervical cancer Prevention into HIV programmes and future directions for programme implementation and research are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
A randomized trial comparing the diagnostic accuracy of visual inspection with acetic acid to visual inspection with Lugol's iodine for cervical cancer screening in HIV infected women
Megan J. Huchko,Jennifer Sneden,Jennifer M. Zakaras,Karen Smith-McCune,George F. Sawaya,May Maloba,Elizabeth A. Bukusi,Craig R. Cohen +7 more
TL;DR: VIA and VILI had similar diagnostic accuracy and rates of CIN2+ detection among HIV-infected women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accuracy of visual inspection with acetic acid to detect cervical cancer precursors among HIV-infected women in Kenya.
Megan J. Huchko,Jennifer Sneden,George F. Sawaya,Karen Smith-McCune,May Maloba,Naila Abdulrahim,Elizabeth A. Bukusi,Craig R. Cohen +7 more
TL;DR: Although they are impacted by age and immune status, test characteristics for VIA among HIV‐infected women are similar to what has been reported for general populations, and recommendations to use VIA as a screening tool should not vary by HIV status.
