Description
George Msema Bwire and co-authors present a 2026 systematic review of implementation research in HIV programs across sub-Saharan Africa. Implementation research studies how proven interventions actually get delivered in real clinics. The team searched four databases for studies on putting HIV evidence into practice in the region.
Of 2,055 articles found, forty-one met the criteria. They identified eleven key strategies, including bringing services closer to patients, shifting tasks to less specialized staff, prevention of mother-to-child transmission, and youth-friendly services. These improved testing, treatment access, and retention in care. Barriers included scarce resources and staff, weak training, stigma, and funding limits. The authors urge continued investment in implementation research.
