    An intervention focused on children, adolescents, and young adults living with HIV using a cadre of dedicated peers—community adolescent treatment supporters—led to improvements along the HIV care cascade among their household contacts and sexual partners.

    Role of Male Sex Partners in HIV Risk of Adolescent Girls and Young Women in Mozambique
    Jenifer Chapman, Nena do Nascimento and Mahua Mandal
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2019, 7(3):435-446; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-19-00117

    Efforts to prevent HIV among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) should focus on providing male sexual partners of AGYW with HIV prevention, testing, and treatment programming and providing AGYW, particularly those who are less educated, pregnant, or single mothers, with prevention methods that do not require negotiating safer sex with their partners.

    Getting to the First 90: Incentivized Peer Mobilizers Promote HIV Testing Services to Men Who Have Sex With Men Using Social Media in Mumbai, India
    Anjana Das, Bitra George, Virupax Ranebennur, M. R. Parthasarathy, G. S. Shreenivas, Priyamvada Todankar, Amit Shrivastav, Ajay Kumar Reddy, Christopher Akolo, Michael Cassell, Sandeep Mane, Deepak Tripathi and Jiban Baishya
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2019, 7(3):469-477; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-19-00094

    This peer mobilization pilot for HIV and syphilis testing used messaging on gay dating sites, clinic referrals, and peer recruitment to reach men who have sex with men in Mumbai. In 6 months, the pilot reached a relatively modest 247 individuals, 244 of whom had never tested for HIV. Challenges included low recruitment and loss to follow-up for posttest counseling and treatment initiation for individuals with HIV.

    Cell Phone Counseling Improves Retention of Mothers With HIV Infection in Care and Infant HIV Testing in Kisumu, Kenya: A Randomized Controlled Study
    Avina Sarna, Lopamudra Ray Saraswati, Jerry Okal, James Matheka, Danmark Owuor, Roopal J. Singh, Nancy Reynolds and Sam Kalibala
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2019, 7(2):171-188; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-18-00241

    Tailored, one-on-one counseling delivered via cell phone was very effective in retaining mothers with HIV in care and in promoting infant HIV testing and antenatal and postnatal care attendance. The highest risk of loss to follow-up among women with HIV accessing PMTCT services was prior to delivery and then after infant HIV testing at 6 weeks. Challenges include continued limited access to cell phones, difficulty with reaching participants on the phone, and poor adherence to antiretroviral therapy for a substantial percentage of the population.

    The Challenges of Transition From Donor-Funded Programs: Results From a Theory-Driven Multi-Country Comparative Case Study of Programs in Eastern Europe and Central Asia Supported by the Global Fund
    George Gotsadze, Ivdity Chikovani, Lela Sulaberidze, Tamar Gotsadze, Ketevan Goguadze and Nertila Tavanxhi
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2019, 7(2):258-272; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-18-00425

    Transitioning from donor funding toward domestic financing for HIV and TB programs in Eastern Europe and Central Asia presents major challenges. It will require a substantial multipronged approach through well-planned collective and coordinated responses from global, bilateral, and national partners.

    Associations Between Practices and Behaviors at the Health Facility Level and Supply Chain Management for Antiretrovirals: Evidence from Cameroon, Namibia, and Swaziland
    Diana Bowser, Laura Krech, David Mabirizi, Angela Y. Chang, David Kapaon and Thomas Bossert
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2019, 7(2):300-316; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-19-00063

    Using antiretrovirals (ARVs) as tracer products, we identified the following key practices that may affect supply chain management at the facility level: order verification, actions taken when stock is received, changes in prescription and dispensing due to ARV stock-out, actions to ensure patient adherence, and communication with other affiliated facilities and higher-level supply chain management. We propose a set of indicators to measure these practices.

    Incorporating Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision Into Traditional Circumcision Contexts: Experiences of a Local Consortium in Zimbabwe Collaborating With an Ethnic Group
    Joseph Hove, Lewis Masimba, Vernon Murenje, Simon Nyadundu, Brian Musayerenge, Sinokuthemba Xaba, Brian Nachipo, Vuyelwa Chitimbire, Batsirai Makunike, Marrianne Holec, Takarubuda Chinyoka, John Mandisarisa, Shirish Balachandra, Mufuta Tshimanga, Scott Barnhart and Caryl Feldacker
    Global Health: Science and Practice March 2019, 7(1):138-146; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-18-00352

    The successful collaboration resulted in a male circumcision camp where 98% of the 672 boys and men ages 10 and up chose voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) while traditional practices were respected. Such collaborations may improve patient safety and increase VMMC uptake in sub-Saharan Africa.

    Implementing an Integrated Pharmaceutical Management Information System for Antiretrovirals and Other Medicines: Lessons From Namibia
    David Mabirizi, Bayobuya Phulu, Wuletaw Churfo, Samson Mwinga, Greatjoy Mazibuko, Evans Sagwa, Lazarus Indongo and Tamara Hafner
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2018, 6(4):723-735; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-18-00157

    Integrating patient and commodity data into one system while maintaining specialized functionality has allowed managers to monitor and mitigate stock-out risks more effectively, as well as provide earlier warning for HIV drug resistance.

    Eliminating Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV by 2030: 5 Strategies to Ensure Continued Progress
    Alexandra C. Vrazo, David Sullivan and Benjamin Ryan Phelps
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2018, 6(2):249-256; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-17-00097

    To keep up momentum in preventing mother-to-child transmission we propose: (1) advocating for greater political and financial commitment; (2) targeting high-risk populations such as adolescent girls and young women; (3) implementing novel service delivery models such as community treatment groups; (4) performing regular viral load monitoring during pregnancy and postpartum to ensure suppression before delivery and during breastfeeding; and (5) harnessing technology in monitoring and evaluation and HIV diagnostics.

    From Research to Policy: The WHO Experience With Developing Guidelines on the Potential Risk of HIV Acquisition and Progestogen-Only Contraception Use
    Leo Han, Eva Patil, Nancy Kidula, Mary Lyn Gaffield and Petrus S. Steyn
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2017, 5(4):540-546; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-17-00278

    To develop guidance for women at high risk of HIV, WHO carefully considered the risks of maternal morbidity and mortality from unintended pregnancy against possible increased risk of HIV acquisition with injectable use. Among the many challenges: (1) balancing timeliness of changing the guidance against the potential impact of it; (2) engaging a range of stakeholders; (3) translating complex research and policy messages to clients; (4) needing additional research; and (5) monitoring and evaluating successes and challenges with implementing new guidelines.
