TL;DR: Interventions that increase and strengthen existing social connections to other HIV- Infected peers at the time of HIV diagnosis may increase ART initiation among HIV-infected youth.

TL;DR: Hickey et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a patient-centered integrated chronic disease model that included hypertension treatment and leveraged the HIV care system to reduce mortality among adults with uncontrolled hypertension in rural Kenya and Uganda.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the total IgG, IgG subclasses, and avidity profiles of responses to 18 P. falciparum blood stage antigens in samples from 160 Ugandans collected at two time points during high malaria transmission and two times points following a dramatic reduction in transmission.

TL;DR: Failure to sustain the intervention was attributed to three specific barriers: lack of training after the intervention, transfer of trained staff to other health facilities, and shortage of supplies like cartridges for POC CD4 PIMA machine.

TL;DR: It is suggested that planning prompts may be an effective behavioural intervention to promote HIV testing at minimal or no cost and should further assess the impact and cost-effectiveness of such interventions.
