Field Performance Evaluation of the m-PIMAâ„¢ HIV-1/2 VL plasma assay in Uganda
REFNo: HS1606ES
Main objective
To evaluate the field performance of the m-PIMATM HIV-1/2 VL plasma VL in identifying virological failure (VF) in adults on ART. The performance will be compared to standard PCR assays used at UNHLs and UVRI.
2.3.2 Primary objectives
I). To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy using the sensitivity, specificity, NPV, PPV, FPR and FNR of the m-PIMAâ„¢ HIV-1/2 VL plasma assay in comparison to a reference assay of HIV-1 RNA PCR in identifying HIV-VF at the WHO recommended threshold of 1000 copies/ml for HIV-1 infected.
II). To determine the operational characteristics of the m-PIMAâ„¢ HIV-1/2 VL plasma assay, such as ease of-use of the assay using the standardized system usability scale (SUS) by laboratory and no laboratory personnel
III). To determine changes in turn-around time and ease of clinic workflow integration.
IV).To determine acceptability of the m-PIMAâ„¢ HIV-1/2 VL plasma assay by the study participants

Introducing market-oriented horticulture farming in refugee hosting areas of Uganda: An intervention that builds resilience against emergency
REFNo: SS946ES
The objective of the proposed study is to introduce training programs to farmer groups in Northern Uganda, that aim to improve the market profitability of horticulture and thus increase incomes and employment for small farmers in these refugee-hosting regions in Uganda. Such investments are urgently needed to stabilize livelihoods in this region that has suffered through the combinations of challenges posed by the influx of refugees and other challenges including desert locust invasions, and health and economic risks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, the training program target fostering of lead farmers who will then further train other farmers within the community, and transform farmers’ mindset to “produce strategically to sell†rather than “produce and then sellâ€. Disseminating knowledge through lead farmers (also sometimes known as “model farmers†“village agentsâ€) to a wider group of farmers has been considered an important way to reach and enhance the capacity and mindset of farmers at scale. The program will contribute to stabilizing and boosting farm incomes in vulnerable, refugee-hosting communities and will build the resilience of local livelihoods to COVID-19. The study then collects data on farmers’ market interaction activities and farm production practices before and after the training programs to assess the impacts of these training programs.

Addressing barriers to HIV self-testing in the Private sector among young sexually active females and males in Uganda: A human centred design framework to developing private sector HIVST demand creation, distribution, and linkage models
REFNo: SS955ES
PSI and the Busara Center for Behavioral Economics will conduct qualitative market research that will use targeted questions to gather opinions on barriers and enablers of HIV self-testing in the private sector to uncover insights, opportunities, motivators, and unmet needs. Specifically, the research will employ in-depth interviews and focus group discussions to gather insights on both demand and supply aspects of HIVST as these relate to sexually active females and males of ages 18- 29.
Focus group discussions and in-depth interviews shall be conducted among potential beneficiaries, sexually active females and males of 18 – 29 years to better understand the perceptions and attitudes, barriers and motivators of these groups towards HIV self-testing and responding to the questions with regards to the design of interventions, including delving into the issues or experiences that exacerbate behavioral biases, thereby affecting uptake of HIVST by these populations. The focus group discussions shall consider individuals with experience of using HIV self-test kits and those without experience.
We will also conduct in-depth interviews with private pharmacists, pharmaceutical technologists, and retailers of community drug shops for an understanding of the service provider perspective in selling HIV self-test kits to the target population. In addition, we will also conduct in-depth interviews with manufacturers and distributors of HIV self-test kits to understand supply side barriers and interventions that may hinder or facilitate uptake of HIVST by the target population. Further, we will conduct in-depth interviews with Ministry of Health officials in charge of managing the national HIVST programs including regulatory mechanisms to understand policy and regulatory side barriers and interventions for rolling out HIVST in the private sector.
