This study examines Peer Navigation, through both personal and clinical perspectives, as a potential intervention to improve outcomes for those living with KS in western Kenya.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Patients AND Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>This study centers on the lived experience of one KS survivor who became a Peer Navigator in western Kenya. The narrative captures his journey from diagnosis to treatment and the subsequent impact of guiding others through their healthcare journey as a Peer Navigator.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Between October 2021 and July 2024, the Peer Navigator provided support to 77 patients. These interactions led to improvements in patient knowledge, reduced feelings of social isolation, renewed hope for recovery, and increased confidence in treatment options.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Peer Navigation plays a crucial role in improving outcomes for patients living with HIV- associated KS. By integrating the survivor's voice, this model of care delivery provides invaluable emotional and social support, fostering improved patient-reported outcomes and encouraging treatment adherence, thereby offering a transformative model for care delivery.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1200\/go-24-00494","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,20]],"date-time":"2025-03-20T21:08:53Z","timestamp":1742504933000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1200\/crossmark","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Peer Navigation for HIV-Associated Kaposi Sarcoma in Kenya: The Power of the Survivor's Voice"],"prefix":"10.1200","author":[{"given":"Fredrick","family":"Shiravika","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare, Moi Teaching &amp; Referral Hospital, Eldoret, Kenya"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexis G.","family":"Strahan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-8129-3872","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Morvarid","family":"Zehtab","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Linda","family":"Chemtai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare, Moi Teaching &amp; Referral Hospital, Eldoret, Kenya"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Celestine","family":"Lagat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare, Moi Teaching &amp; Referral Hospital, Eldoret, Kenya"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emily","family":"Mulanda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare, Moi Teaching &amp; Referral Hospital, Eldoret, Kenya"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4143-0408","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Sigrid M.","family":"Collier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, University of Washington, Seattle, WA"},{"name":"Veterans Affairs Puget Sound Health Care System, Seattle, WA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elyne","family":"Rotich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare, Moi Teaching &amp; Referral Hospital, Eldoret, Kenya"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Toby","family":"Maurer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Indiana University, Indianapolis, IN"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9773-3256","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jeff","family":"Martin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-5464-533X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jesse","family":"Opakas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, Eldoret, Kenya"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Helen","family":"Byakwaga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Infectious Disease Institute, Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1826-2239","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Aggrey","family":"Semeere","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Infectious Disease Institute, Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5010-1369","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Samson","family":"Kiprono","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare, Moi Teaching &amp; Referral Hospital, Eldoret, Kenya"},{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, School of Medicine, College of Health Sciences, Moi University, Eldoret, Kenya"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7751-9466","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Esther E.","family":"Freeman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"233","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ijc.33951"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_3_2","first-page":"2019","article-title":"Global cancer observatory: Cancer today.
