High willingness to use injectable antiretroviral therapy among women who have been lost to follow-up from HIV programmes: A nested cross-sectional study.

Objectives: Efforts to achieve zero transmission of HIV to infants born to women living with HIV in sub-Saharan African are undermined by high rates of loss to follow-up in prevention of vertical transmission (PVT) programmes. The fear of HIV status disclosure through the discovery of pill bottles at home is a major contributor. Injectable antiretroviral therapy (ART) has proved to be efficacious in clinical trials and is discreet, offering a potential solution.

The Potential Teratogenicity Alert for Women Conceiving on Dolutegravir-Based Regimens: An Assessment of Risk Communication by an Urban HIV Clinic in Uganda and Choices made by Women.

Unlabelled: INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: In May 2018, the World Health Organization and other regulatory authorities released a safety alert for dolutegravir related to a risk of neural tube defects among women exposed to dolutegravir at the time of conception. Models of how drug safety information can be shared effectively in the shortest time are necessary to prevent interruptions of public health programs. We sought to describe an implementation process to inform and support women already on dolutegravir-based regimens at the time of conception to make informed choices following the safety alert of a potential teratogenicity risk.
