NCT05383755
Pregnant adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) in Kenya frequently experience stigma and difficulty telling a family member about their HIV and pregnancy status. This study will develop and evaluate a digital intervention for pregnant unmarried ALHIV to address the effects of stigma and strengthen communication skills. Family caregivers are an important yet underappreciated and understudied source of social support for pregnant unmarried ALHIV. The study will also identify acceptable approaches to involve family caregivers in addressing the detrimental effects of the intersecting stigmas faced by pregnant ALHIV. Together, these approaches are expected to improve engagement in PMTCT services among pregnant ALHIV. The study specific aims are to: (1) Develop and evaluate a digital intervention for pregnant unmarried ALHIV aged 15-19 to increase awareness of stigma and its consequences; improve disclosure self-efficacy and skills; and facilitate enlistment of family caregivers as social support allies to enhance uptake of PMTCT services; and (2) Identify acceptable approaches to increase awareness about stigma and enhance skills in communication and provision of social support among family caregivers. We will use data from individual interviews with pregnant ALHIV and joint interviews with pregnant ALHIV/caregiver dyads to develop initial intervention specifications and mock-ups. We will then conduct focus groups to obtain feedback on sample materials in order to refine the materials and develop an intervention prototype. We will then conduct a pilot to evaluate acceptability, usability, and preliminary efficacy of the prototype. All participating adolescents will receive a session in using the digital intervention with a mobile phone or tablet. The research team will ask questions both before the session and two weeks after the session in order to assess the intervention's usability and acceptability and preliminary improvements in the adolescents regarding stigma, disclosure, and social support. We will conduct focus groups with caregivers to identify acceptable approaches to involve them. Data will be used to finalize content and specifications of the digital intervention for pregnant ALHIV and will provide the framework for a future complementary intervention for caregivers, which will both be tested in a larger R34 or R01 trial.
NCT07195058
The study will test trauma-informed obstetric care training and supervision for obstetric clinicians in relation to prenatal mental health and attachment formation (early predictors of child development) in women presenting for prenatal care in a public hospital in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
NCT05172453
In order to evaluate the feasibility of eliminating mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of hepatitis B virus (HBV) by 2030, a multi-center, prospective cohorts study was conducted to investigate MTCT of HBV in China.
NCT03306251
The purpose of this study is to provide a surveillance system to monitor changes in the rate of mother to child HIV transmission and preventive practices in France and especially to identify the occurrence of toxicity in children exposed perinatally to antiretroviral drugs.
NCT03235310
The purpose of this study is to describe over time the rate of mother to child transmission of HIV and its prevention (PMTCT), to identify risk factors for transmission and to evaluate the safety of PMTCT strategies on outcome of pregnancy and in children not infected with HIV
NCT01187719
The primary objective of this two-phase trial is as follows: * To determine the elimination half-life of NVP in HIV positive pregnant women receiving it as a single dose in labour in addition to the ZDV and 3TC with or without seven days phenytoin (pilot PK phase) * To determine NVP resistance in HIV positive pregnant women receiving it as a single dose in labour in addition to ZDV and 3TC with or without seven days phenytoin (main trial phase) The secondary objectives of this two-phase trial are as follows: * To determine the safety of single dose nevirapine with seven days phenytoin as a part of ARV prophylaxis for PMTCT vs. single dose of nevirapine without phenytoin as a part of ARV prophylaxis for PMTCT * To determine the HIV status of the infant * To determine the safety of the ARV prophylaxis for PMTCT with seven days of phenytoin on the newborn Hypothesis: phenytoin reduces the elimination half life of SD NVP and thereby decreases development of resistance to NVP in HIV positive pregnant Tanzanian and Zambian women.
