TL;DR: In settings where universal testing is not feasible, a risk-score algorithm can identify sub-populations with higher HIV-risk to be prioritized for HIV testing, and this algorithm was externally validated to inform targeted HIV testing.
Predictors of voluntary medical male circumcision prevalence among men aged 25-39 years in Nyanza region, Kenya: Results from the baseline survey of the TASCO study.

TL;DR: Among adult men in the rural Nyanza region of Kenya, men with post-primary education and employed were more likely to be circumcised, and VMMC programs should focus on specific sub-groups of men, including those aged 25–39 years who are married, divorced/separated/ widowed, and of low socio-economic status.
Agreement between self-reported and physically verified male circumcision status in Nyanza region, Kenya: Evidence from the TASCO study
Elijah Odoyo-June,Kawango Agot,Edward Mboya,Jonathan M Grund,Paul Musingila,Donath Emusu,Leonard Soo,Boaz Otieno-Nyunya +7 more
TL;DR: The concurrence between self-reported and physically verified MC status among men aged 25–39 years during a baseline household survey was measured for a study to test strategies for enhancing MC uptake by older men in Nyanza region of Kenya to determine the accuracy of self- reported MC status in communities where MC for HIV prevention is being rolled out.
Expanded eligibility for HIV testing increases HIV diagnoses-A cross-sectional study in seven health facilities in western Kenya.
Rachael Joseph,Paul Musingila,Fredrick Miruka,Stella Wanjohi,Caroline Dande,Polycarp Musee,Fillet Lugalia,Dickens Onyango,Eunice Kinywa,Gordon Okomo,Iscah Moth,Samuel Omondi,Caren Ayieko,Lucy Ng’ang’a,Emily Zielinski-Gutierrez,Hellen Muttai,Kevin M. De Cock +16 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that in the setting of a generalized HIV epidemic, retesting persons reporting an HIV-negative test in the past 3–12 months, and routine testing of non-patients accessing the OPD are key strategies for timely diagnosis of persons living with HIV.
Mapping geographic clusters of new HIV diagnoses to inform granular-level interventions for HIV epidemic control in western Kenya
Hellen Muttai,Bernard Guyah,Thomas N. O. Achia,Paul Musingila,Jesse Nakhumwa,Rose Oyoo,Wilfrida Olweny,Redempter Odeny,Spala Ohaga,Kawango Agot,Kennedy Oruenjo,Bob Awino,Rachael Joseph,Fredrick Miruka,Emily Zielinski-Gutierrez +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Kulldorff's spatial scan statistic to detect geographic clusters of new HIV diagnoses, and described factors associated with HIV-positive diagnosis, in order to inform targeting of HIV interventions to finer geographic areas and sub-populations.
