Abstract
Background: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development recognises the importance of addressing HIV and NCDs, and establishes the need to address female and child specific health outcomes as a whole. Women experience a triple burden of ill-health spanning non-communicable diseases (NCDs), reproductive and maternal health conditions and human immune deficiency virus (HIV) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Method: A scoping review methodology was used to map and describe what is known about the health needs, service experiences and health outcomes of women living with HIV (WLHIV), diabetes and/or hypertension in SSA. Results: The final data set of 15 records represented seven SSA countries (Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Ghana, Malawi and Zimbabwe). Following final charting and analysis of the data, four themes emerged: Prevalence of NCD and related co-morbidities; Environmental, biological and cultural determinates of health; Access to healthcare services and medication; and Integrated HIV.NCD care. Conclusion: The evidence base with detail on this gendered health topic within the African sustainable development agenda is limited. subject is small. Further research which involves women in the community and female patients receiving integrated care for HIV and NCDs at hospital and primary care levels in SSA is warranted on a larger scale.
