  • Interventions to reduce HIV-related stigma among older people living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessHannah M Wolpe, Lucia Knight et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2025

    HIV-related stigma remains a major barrier to testing, treatment, and quality of life, especially for the growing population of older people living with HIV (OPLWH, aged 50+). Such stigma intersects with age-related and other stigmas, compounding health vulnerabilities. Research on this issue remains limited, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). This review thus sought to explore stigma-reduction interventions for OPLWH in SSA to inform futu…

  • “As an older person my thoughts do not focus on one thing”

    Open AccessKatie Bradley, Jennifer A Pellowski et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2025

    In South Africa, HIV prevalence among people over 50 exceeds 18.5%, yet research and interventions for older people living with HIV (OPLWH) remain limited. Evidence links HIV stigma to poor health outcomes, but little is known about OPLWH's experiences in resource-limited settings. This study explores how OPLWH understand and experience intersecting stigmas, and how these shape engagement in care. Using a qualitative exploratory design, we conduc…

  • Longitudinally investigating patterns of maternal psychological distress in a South African birth cohort

    Open AccessRae MacGinty, Nadia Hoffman et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Psychological distress, a broad construct that encompasses of a range of emotional difficulties—including depression and anxiety—is prevalent during pregnancy and postnatally with up to 25% of women experiencing psychological distress globally. However, this is mostly described in high income countries (HIC), with little data from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The aim of this study was to describe and determine latent trajectory class…

  • HIV-related stigma, disclosure and social support

    Kirsty Brittain, Yolanda Gomba et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2023

    Young pregnant and postpartum women living with HIV (WLHIV) are at high risk of poor antiretroviral therapy (ART) outcomes, which may be driven partly by HIV-related stigma. We conducted in-depth interviews with 20 pregnant and postpartum WLHIV aged 19–24 years to understand how different forms of HIV-related stigma manifest in their lives, as well as their experiences of HIV-status disclosure and social support. Participants described profound l…

  • Intimate partner violence and growth outcomes through infancy

    Open AccessWhitney Barnett, Raymond T Nhapi et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2021

    Intimate partner violence (IPV) has been linked to poor fetal and infant growth. However, factors underlying this relationship are not well understood, particularly in the postnatal time period. In a South African cohort, we investigated (1) associations between IPV in pregnancy and growth at birth as well as postnatal IPV and child growth at 12 months and (2) whether maternal depression, tobacco or alcohol use or infant hospitalizations mediated…
