Behavior Change Communication Strategies on Human Immunodeficiency Virus /Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome Risk Reduction for Long-Distance Truckers in Kenya Open
Background Long-distance truckers (LDTs) not only experience heightened risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections due to risky sexual networks, but are also hard to reach with consistent risk reduction messages due to their oft…

Effectiveness of an mHealth intervention in HIV/AIDS risk reduction among long-distance truckers in Kenya: A quasi-experimental study Open
Background While mobile (m)-health interventions offer a promising platform through which the vulnerable long-distance truckers (LDTs) can be remotely reached with current human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HI…

“Even Though He Had Expressed Willingness to Take PrEP, He Declined When He Noticed the Drugs Were Packed in a Container Like That of ARVs”: Exploring Barriers to HIV/AIDS Risk Reduction Among Long-Distance Truckers in Kenya Open
Background Due to high-risk sexual networks along their transit routes, Long-distance truckers’ (LDTs) risk of HIV is known to be high, as evidenced by prevalence rates of 14.34% in the region. Besides, the spaces in which LDTs operate are…

Effectiveness of HIV prevention interventions targeting long-distance truck drivers: protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis of global evidence Open
Introduction Globally, long-distance truck drivers’ (LDTDs) risk of exposure to HIV infections is higher compared with other populations in transit. Thus, several HIV prevention interventions have been implemented, though to a narrower ext…

Global burden of HIV among long-distance truck drivers: a systematic review and meta-analysis Open
Objectives The purpose of this study was to systematically summarise the empirical evidence on the prevalence of HIV among long-distance truck drivers (LDTDs) from all parts of the world. Design A systematic review and meta-analysis were c…

Prevalence and Predictors of Anaemia in Pregnant Women Receiving Antenatal Care at Kilifi County Referral Hospital, Kenya Open
Introduction: Anaemia in pregnancy has been recognized as a public health problem of importance, especially in the developing world. This is due to related adverse outcomes among pregnant women and the unborn. However, the epidemiology of …

Missed HIV care appointments and high body mass index predict hypertension risks at diagnosis: a risk identifying opportunity among people living with HIV for global health Open
Background: Chronic conditions, including diabetes and hypertension among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHIV), require long-term adherence to treatment and regular follow-ups for symptom checkups and management to prolong life and improve…

Frequency of sexual interactions and associated factors among long-distance truck drivers operating along the Northern Corridor Highway, Kenya Open
Introduction: harsh working conditions among long-distance truck drivers (LDTDs) expose them to risky sexual interactions while on transit.As a result, the risky sexual interactions among the LDTDs place them at a high risk of contracting …

Spatial distribution of sexual network locations used by long-distance truck drivers along the Northern Corridor highway, Kenya Open
Background In Kenya, long-distance truck drivers (LDTDs) using the Northern Corridor highway have a high prevalence of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) due to their risky sexual networks. However, the spatial distributi…

Utilization of HIV and Sexually Transmitted Infections Prevention Services, and Associated Factors among the Long-Distance Truck Drivers along the Northern Corridor Highway, Kenya Open
Background: Often, long-distance truck drivers’ (LDTDs’) work predisposes them to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) whose outcomes are influenced by access and behavior of seeking sexual health care. Methodology: In this study, we ass…

the frequencies of sexual interactions are likely to be higher among the younger LDTDs, those who spent more than one week on transit, and those who use alcohol and khat, hence a high exposure risk to HIV/STIs among them.
