Objectives: To assess the long-term survival, as well immunologic and virologic effectiveness, adherence, drug resistance, in HIV-infected patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) one of oldest best-documented African cohorts. Methods: A prospective observational cohort study included first 176 HIV-1-infected adults followed Senegalese government-sponsored initiative launched August 1998. Patients were for a median 30 months (interquartile range, 21-36 months). HAART...
Men who have sex with men (MSM) and female workers (FSW) are consistently shown to a higher burden of HIV compared other adults in Senegal. This study, Prevention 2.0, evaluates the impact 3-tiered integrated stigma mitigation interventions (ISMIs) approach optimizing service delivery for key populations Senegal.Baseline assessment includes questionnaire biological testing HIV. A proportion participants enrolled into 24-month longitudinal cohort questionnaires every 3 months. In these...
Background. The efficacy of various antiretroviral (ARV) therapy regimens for human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) infection remains unclear. HIV-2 is intrinsically resistant to the nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors and enfuvirtide may also be less susceptible than HIV-1 some protease (PIs). However, mutations in that confer ARV resistance are not well characterized. Methods. Twenty-three patients were studied as part an ongoing prospective longitudinal cohort study...
HIV Self-Testing (HIVST) aims to increase testing coverage and can facilitate reaching the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets. In Senegal, key populations bear a disproportionate burden of report limited uptake given pervasive stigma criminalization. these contexts, HIVST may represent complementary approach reach reporting barriers engagement with existing routine services. this study, 1839 kits were distributed in 1149 individuals participating pre-test questionnaire 817 post-test questionnaire....
The WHO guidelines for the management of advanced HIV disease recommend a package care consisting rapid initiation antiretroviral therapy (ART), enhanced screening and diagnosis tuberculosis (TB) cryptococcal meningitis, co-trimoxazole prophylaxis, isoniazid preventive (IPT), fluconazole pre-emptive therapy, adherence support. goals this study were to determine prevalence among individuals initiating ART in Senegal, identify predictors disease, evaluate guidelines.This was conducted...
Abstract Introduction Key populations including female sex workers ( FSW ) and men who have with MSM bear a disproportionate burden of HIV . However, the role focusing prevention efforts on these groups for reducing country's epidemic is debated. We estimate extent to which transmission among contributes overall in Dakar, Senegal, using dynamic assessment population attributable fraction PAF ). Methods A model , their clients, lower‐risk adult was parameterized calibrated within Bayesian...
Following the growing body of literature assessing governance and environmental sustainability nexus, present study complements extant by how can be promoted means policies that entail simultaneous implementation six dynamics, notably, political (political stability/ no violence 'voice & accountability'), economic (government effectiveness regulatory quality) institutional (corruption-control rule law). The focuses on 44 African countries for period 2000 to 2020 empirical evidence is based...
Malaria and anaemia (Haemoglobin <11 g/dl) remain frequent in tropical regions are closely associated. Although aetiologies known to be multi-factorial, most studies malaria endemic areas have been confined analysis of possible associations between individual factors such as malaria. A case control study involving children aged from 1 10 years was conducted assess some assumed contributors the area Bonconto Health post Senegal. Study participants were randomly selected a list who...
The Senegal pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) Demonstration Project was an open-label cohort study assessing the delivery of daily oral PrEP to HIV-negative female sex workers (FSWs) in four Ministry Health (MoH)-run clinics Dakar, Senegal. We assessed uptake, retention care, and adherence over up 12 months follow-up as well HIV infection rates. Between July November 2015, 350 individuals were approached 324 (92.6%) preliminarily eligible. Uptake high, with 82.4% eligible participants choosing...
Abstract Motivated by the difficulty of ensuring gender equality and chaotic state democracy, we analyze effects political inclusion democracy on environmental policy performance. The study uses a panel 45 African countries over period 2012–2018 employs method moments quantile regression. results show that positively affect performance in all quantiles. These positive tend to be stronger at higher magnitude is larger for inclusion. When decomposed into sub‐indices health ecosystem vitality,...
During 2019-21, the AutoTest VIH, Libre d'accéder à la connaissance de son Statut (ATLAS) programme distributed around 380 000 HIV self-testing kits to key populations, including female sex workers, men who have with men, and their partners, in Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, Senegal. We aimed estimate effects of ATLAS national scale-up self-test distribution on diagnosis, treatment coverage, incidence, HIV-related mortality.
The ATLAS programme aims to promote and implement HIV self-testing (HIVST) in three West African countries: Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, Senegal. During 2019-2021, close collaboration with the national AIDS implementing partners communities, plans distribute 500,000 HIVST kits through eight delivery channels, combining facility-based, community-based strategies, primary secondary distribution of HIVST. Considering characteristics epidemics, targets are hard-to-reach populations: key populations...

Abstract Literature suggests that individuals may trade off health for income in face of an economic shock. Being a close contact profession, the livelihoods sex workers were severely affected by COVID-19 pandemic. Few studies exist on whether prevalence better-renumerated condomless increased among this population low and middle-income countries discuss its implications HIV/STI transmission especially during pandemic situations. We reported cross-sectional condom use estimates 600 female...
Current malaria control strategies recommend (i) early case detection using rapid diagnostic tests (RDT) and treatment with artemisinin combination therapy (ACT), (ii) pre-referral rectal artesunate, (iii) intermittent preventive (iv) impregnated bed nets. However, these individual interventions provide only partial protection in most epidemiological situations. Therefore, there is a need to investigate the potential benefits of integrating several reduce prevalence morbidity. A randomized...
