Evaluation of a Community-Led Program for Primordial and Primary Prevention of Rheumatic Fever in Remote Northern Australia
Environmental factors including household crowding and inadequate washing facilities underpin recurrent streptococcal infections in childhood that cause acute rheumatic fever (ARF) and subsequent rheumatic heart disease (RHD). No community-based 'primordial'-level interventions to reduce streptococcal infection and ARF rates have been reported from Australia previously. We conducted a study at three Australian Aboriginal communities aiming to red…

Neuromodulation of cursing in American English
Building social currency with foreskin cuts
BACKGROUND: Recent research as part of a multi-disciplinary investigation on the acceptability and impact of male circumcision for HIV prevention in Papua New Guinea (PNG) has shown that health workers (HWs) undertake unauthorized forms of penile cutting practices in public health facilities or in community settings, at times within a traditional context. Participation in these activities shares common features with coping mechanisms, strategies …
Listening to diverse community voices
Difficulties exist in the implementation of new programs in a pluralistic society such as PNG, particularly if tensions arise between biomedical knowledge and medico-legal requirements, compared to existing socio-cultural interests. Community participatory approaches offer important opportunities to explore and design culturally safe, specific and accessible programs
Public health in/as ‘national security’
Surveillance has always been intricately connected to both the theory and practice of public health. The salience of epidemiologic method, particularly the enumeration of ‘risk factors’ and the interpolation of different population ‘groups’, underscores this reality. However, in the post 9/11 era, there has been a conflation between public health and ‘national security’ concerns. Consequently, border control, imagined as a frontier where the two …
Why Women Object to Male Circumcision to Prevent HIV in a Moderate-Prevalence Setting
Adult male circumcision has been shown to reduce the transmission of HIV. Women's acceptability of male circumcision is important in Papua New Guinea's preparedness to introduce male circumcision, and in ethical considerations of its use as a biomedical technology for HIV prevention. We conducted 21 focus group discussions and 18 in-depth interviews with women in all four regions of Papua New Guinea. The majority of women objected to the introduc…
More than just a cut
BACKGROUND: Male circumcision (MC) has been shown to reduce vaginal transmission of HIV to men. While community acceptability is important in a countries preparedness to introduce MC, it is equally important to map contemporary MC and other penile cutting practices, and the socio-cultural dimensions underpinning these practices. METHODS: A total of 482 men and women (n = 276 and n = 210, respectively) participated in 82 semi-structured and 45 foc…
A typology of penile cutting in Papua New Guinea
Male circumcision (MC) significantly reduces the risk of HIV acquisition in men. The geographical, linguistic and cultural diversity of Papua New Guinea (PNG) makes issues of acceptability and implementation complex, and culturally appropriate HIV and Sexually Transmissible Infection (STI) prevention strategies are crucial in this setting. A modified Delphi approach was conducted with sexual health specialists to document and classify variants of…
"Now we are in a different time; various bad diseases have come." understanding men's acceptability of male circumcision for HIV prevention in a moderate prevalence setting
This is one of the first community-based MC acceptability studies conducted in a moderate prevalence setting outside of Africa. Research findings from this study suggest that a future MC program for HIV prevention would be widely accepted by men in PNG
Living serodiscordantly in Papua New Guinea
This paper examines condom use in intimate relationships amongst Papua New Guineans on antiretroviral therapy (ART). These findings are from a mixed-method study in six provinces throughout Papua New Guinea (PNG). A total of 374 HIV-positive adult Papua New Guineans, over the age of 16 and on ART for more than two weeks were recruited using a non-probability, convenience sampling methodology. Participants were recruited through ART prescribing si…
Gendered talk about sex, sexual relationships and HIV among young people in Papua New Guinea
This paper presents findings from a qualitative study carried out in three secondary schools in Eastern Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea (PNG). Seventy-three Year 12 students took part in eight gender-specific focus group discussions (three female and five male). Irrespective of gender, respondents predominately understood sex as being for the sole purpose of reproduction within marriage. When discussing sex and sexual relationships, young me…
Lost the Feel for the Game
The onset and diagnosis of AIDS dementia marks a new dimension to living with HIV, an aspect few imagine or are equipped for. As a result of the profound changes that AIDS dementia makes to the ways the person with HIV acts, the life of significant others is similarly altered. Drawing on the metaphor of "the game" from Bourdieu's work on habitus, I explore how the onset and subsequent diagnosis of AIDS dementia comes to signify for significant ot…

Living loss
While the structure of liminality is well documented, the literature on the social and emotional landscape of liminality is less so. In order to illustrate this social and emotional space I examine the experiences of loss and grief associated with AIDS dementia. I propose living loss as an emotional discourse in order to understand the social and emotional space in which people live not with loss but "in" loss. This loss is experienced in a limin…
Hope Is Forked
In the HIV epidemic hope and loss are temporally structured according to pre, and post highly active antiretroviral therapies (HAART). AIDS dementia is a neurological condition on which HAART has had an important impact, yet this form of dementia has received little sociocultural attention. In this article, the author explores ethnographically personal hope from the perspective of 'Matthew,' a significant other to a person with AIDS dementia, and…
The Scent of Positive Lives
This experimental piece, after establishing the mutual experience of the death of a loved one, explores the authors'experience of being involved in and attending the international photographic exhibition Positive Lives that documents the lives of people living with HIV/AIDS and those that care and support them. This article focuses on one of the stories, Andrew Knox, the primary author's partner, who died with AIDS dementia. Relating to those who…
Making community
This paper brings into question conceptualizations of community, specifically those that have been termed 'communities of shared interest and circumstance'. To do this, it explores the ways that people with haemophilia and their families experience and constitute community. Drawing on empirical data from semi-structured interviews and participation in joint activities, this paper details and describes the nature of the Australian haemophilia comm…
