Newly published from @ManicalandHIV in @PLOSGPH - How did sexual risk behaviour change in Manicaland as a result of COVID-19? https://t.co/lt73OtFin8 @MRC_Outbreak

So lovely to be in Eastern Zimbabwe and meet with the @ManicalandHIV team to plan for the IMPERATIVE trial later in the year. The trial will use male peer networks to increase the uptake of HIV self-testing and PREP in men. @ceri_news @SACEMA_CoE

New research from @ranjeeta_t @Matteo_Galizzi @ManicalandHIV shows that economic preferences predict risky sexual behaviour among youth in Manicaland @JHealthEcon @MRC_Outbreak https://t.co/KBdBP7kCWi

Economic preferences predict risky sexual behaviour of youth in a high risk setting. Our latest research in @JHealthEcon with @ManicalandHIV @Matteo_Galizzi @LouisaMoorhouse ..

Relationship between psychological distress, health behaviours and future reports of hypertension among adults in East Zimbabwe: a cohort study https://t.co/eRksshTZLN

Thorough modelling shows that addressing #HIV prevention cascade barriers is essential to achieving targets towards elimination ➡️ Addressing all cascade steps in a priority population is much more effective + responses need to be tailored to specific groups #MeSHUniverse

Our new publication in @Open_HeartBMJ, led by Shehla Shamsuddin, explores the relationship between psychological distress, health behaviours and future reports of hypertension in Manicaland, Zimbabwe: https://t.co/oz0kGbBkwT @MRC_Outbreak @BRTI_ZIMBABWE @Sungano

Check out the latest @ManicalandHIV paper, led by our previous @ImperialMed student Shehla Shamsuddin, on psychological distress & high blood pressure (bp)! We found that psychological distress was associated with new reports of high bp after 6 years ❤️ https://t.co/D09Wm37BLt

Our latest publication in @LancetGH by Dr Michael Pickles from @ManicalandHIV models the effect of hypothetical interventions at each stage of the HIV Prevention Cascade to assess the impact on HIV incidence in Manicaland, Zimbabwe https://t.co/vLdujhIyXx @MRC_Outbreak

Congratulations to our Director, Prof. Simon Gregson for winning an award for his leadership in global health at @AIDSImpact! @MRC_Outbreak @BRTI_ZIMBABWE @Imperial_Jameel

I'm a bit late to tweet about this, but it was great to speak about associations between #depression & sexual risk behaviours among young people in @ManicalandHIV, Zimbabwe, at the @AIDSImpact Roundtable on Risk yesterday @kdhauck @LouisaMoorhouse

Finally, we're hearing about how COVID-19 affected condom HIV prevention cascades with Sophie Bagnay

Next is some health economics - exploring the effect of behavioural economics interventions to reduce gaps in HIV prevention cascades with Ranjeeta Thomas

We're now looking at a case study - the HIV prevention cascade for adolescent girls and young women. Simon Gregson is explaining the results and implications for intervention design

Can an individual-based model be used to work out which gaps in the HIV prevention cascade should be targeted to maximise reductions in HIV incidence? Mike Pickles is explaining how he approached this, and the value of focusing on motivation, access & use for single populations

Now we're hearing about methods to identify priority populations for HIV prevention, focusing on HIV risk screening and circumstantial determinants from Sophie Bagnay and Louisa Moorhouse

Up next, Louisa Moorhouse is talking about measuring and validating HIV prevention cascades in Manicaland

We are the @AIDSImpact conference today talking about the New Science of the #HIV prevention cascade! First, we have an introduction to the cascade from Prof Simon Gregson

If you're in Stockholm for @AIDSImpact 2023, think about stopping by my poster today! This work explores whether people living with #HIV are more likely to pay for care for high #bloodpressure than HIV-negative folks in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 @MRC_Outbreak @ManicalandHIV @BRTI_ZIMBABWE

Our very own Dr Constance Nyamukapa received a Highly Commended award for Outstanding Achievement through Collaborative Research in @ImperialMed 25th Anniversary Staff Awards. Prof. Simon Gregson presented the award in Zimbabwe Find out more here https://t.co/JxbAMc2UHC
