Dual HIV and syphilis testing might help to prevent mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of through increased case detection treatment. We aimed model assess the cost-effectiveness dual during antenatal care in four countries with varying prevalence.In this modelling study, we developed Markov models pregnant women estimate costs infant health outcomes maternal at first visit individual tests (base case) a rapid diagnostic test (scenario one). additionally evaluated retesting late delivery...
Objectives In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) where HIV burden is highest, access to testing, a key entry point for prevention and treatment, remains low adolescents (aged 10–19). Access may be hampered by policies requiring parental consent receive testing services (HTS). 2013, the WHO recommended countries review HTS age of policies. Here, we investigate country progress on testing. Design Comprehensive policy review. Data sources Policies addressing were obtained through searching repositories...
To describe the implementation and results of linked response (LR) in Cambodia after 18 months follow-up.The main objectives LR are to increase access sexually transmitted infection/HIV prevention, testing, care, treatment strengthen existing reproductive health services through increased linkages within between public facilities community-based services. The was piloted 2008, 2 demonstration projects, covering 5 operational districts. Routine data were collected analyzed before (2007),...
Key populations, including sex workers, men who have with men, and people inject drugs, a high risk of HIV sexually transmitted infections. We assessed the health economic impacts different syphilis testing strategies among three key populations in Viet Nam using dual HIV/syphilis rapid diagnostic test (RDT).We used spectrum AIDS impact model to simulate epidemic evaluated five scenarios populations. 15-year time horizon provider perspective for costs.We entire population model.We modelled...
Introduction:To achieve the global goal of eliminating mother-to-child transmission HIV, retention HIV-positive women and their babies throughout cascade prevention HIV (PMTCT) services is necessary.Little evidence has been published on coverage in resource-limited settings.Along with PMTCT service expansion Cambodia, a national routine reporting system was developed.This study examines six interventions to improve our understanding cascade.Method: We developed indicators monitor key...
Introduction: Offering HIV testing services (HTS) within sexual and reproductive health (SRH) is a priority, especially for women who have substantial risk. To reach with do not know their status prevent mother-to-child transmission, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends routinely offering HTS as part of family planning (FP) service delivery in high burden settings. We conducted landscape analysis to assess uptake positivity context FP/SRH services. Assessment Research Programs:...

Caregiver-assisted testing using HIV self-test (CG-HIVST) kits has been proposed to enhance paediatric case finding and contribute toward ending HIV/AIDS by 2030. We conducted a systematic review assess the risks benefits of CG-HIVST. searched nine electronic databases consulted experts identify relevant articles through 5 February, 2022. Studies comparing CG-HIVST other services among children over 18-months, or no intervention, were included. Outcomes included uptake, acceptability,...
Abstract Background WHO 2019 HIV testing guidelines recommended a standard strategy consisting of three consecutively HIV-reactive test results on serology assays to diagnose infection. National programmes in high prevalence settings currently using the only two consecutive tests should consider when implement new guideline recommendations. Methods and Findings We implemented probability model simulate outcomes strategies by 2015 services. Each assay was assumed independently 99% sensitivity...
ABSTRACT Objectives Key populations, including sex workers, men who have with men, and people inject drugs, a high risk of HIV sexually transmitted infections (STIs). We assessed the health economic impacts different syphilis testing strategies among three key populations in Viet Nam using dual HIV/syphilis rapid diagnostic test (RDT). Setting used Spectrum AIDS Impact Model to simulate epidemic evaluated five scenarios. 15-year time horizon all costs are from provider’s perspective....
Assessing the state of country readiness for introduction new, child-friendly anti-tuberculosis formulations can highlight potential bottlenecks, facilitate early planning, and accelerate access to appropriate treatment children with tuberculosis (TB).To understand pathways obstacles new pediatric formulations, we performed a desk review key policy documents conducted 146 stakeholder interviews in 19 high-burden countries.Issuance World Health Organization (WHO) guidance serves as trigger...
ABSTRACT Background HIV testing and counseling is a key component of prevention the entry point into treatment cascade, which improves for individual clinical outcomes reduces onward transmission. Current guidelines recommend at least annual populations. More frequent could provide health benefits, but these additional services increase program cost-effectiveness not well-evaluated. Methods We used compartmental mathematical model to simulate economic impact one four times per year men who...
