TL;DR: Important challenges at the health facility level related to Option B+ rollout in western Kenya are highlighted and addressing these specific challenges may increase linkage, retention and adherence to life-long ART treatment for pregnant HIV-positive women in Kenya, contribute towards elimination of mother-to-child HIV transmission, and improve maternal and child outcomes.

TL;DR: The home-based cMM approach may be a beneficial and acceptable strategy for promoting ART adherence and retention within PMTCT services for pregnant/postpartum women living with HIV.

TL;DR: It is suggested that programme interventions designed explicitly to stimulate and support processes of HIV stigma resistance and safe self-disclosure may be key to improving demand for and retention in HIV services.

TL;DR: Evaluated the acceptability of a text messaging intervention to support women's ART adherence and retention in care in rural western Kenya and revealed the following themes: overall acceptability, proposed content, format, timing, and language of text messages, and potential challenges.

TL;DR: The Kenyan MMM18 sites successfully screened more than three times the number screened in 2017, hence improving public awareness, and less than a third of the hypertensives were aware with correspondingly poor treatment and control rates.
