SCHISTOSOMIASIS
In summary, we found that fishermen who accessed HIV services had a high likelihood of having previously taken the schistosomiasis drug praziquantel providing evidence that integrated service delivery may lead to increase coverage. We observed that populations in settings with a high prevalence of both HIV and schistosomiasis had low knowledge of their HIV status and low utilization of free schistosomiasis treatment. Nearly 99% of fishermen studied expressed willingness to receive both HIV and Schistosomiasis services if a mobile beach clinic is made available.
