Perceptions of HIV/Aids leaders about faith-based organisations’ influence on HIV/Aids stigma in South Africa
The extent of the HIV pandemic-particularly in the hardest-hit countries, including South Africa-has prompted a call for greater engagement of all groups, including faith-based organisations (FBOs). Although FBOs are known to play a substantial role in providing care and support to those affected by HIV and AIDS, empirical evidence in regard to their actions in the broader context of stigma is limited. A qualitative, key-informant survey was cond…
Ethical and Human Rights Perspectives on Providers' Obligation to Ensure Adolescents' Rights to Privacy
The rights of adolescents to privacy and confidentiality as stipulated in international human rights conventions are poorly protected in reproductive health‐care settings. Fear that their private information will become known, particularly to a parent, has been shown to be a major factor in adolescents’failure to seek the services they need. The tension between parental interests in guiding the development of children and public interest in maint…
Hormonal Contraception and Physiology
Side effects influence the acceptability and continuation of hormonal contraceptives. Counseling the client about the management of side effects is a principal approach advocated for increasing continuation. Evidence of a biological basis for variation in women's tolerance of hormonal contraceptives argues, however, that greater attention should be given to altering the product rather than principally attempting to alter a woman's ability to deal…
Reversing the downward trend in men's share of contraceptive use
Five years after the International Conference on Population and Development which had reached the consensus that men do not adequately share responsibility for family planning with women, the proportion of contraceptive prevalence attributed to men has fallen to 26 per cent down from 31 per cent in 1994 and 37 per cent in 1987. This gender imbalance in contraceptive responsibility is occurring in a context of rapid growth in the population of rep…

Male involvement and contraceptive methods for men
The four standard male methods of fertility control--coitus interruptus, periodic abstinence, vasectomy, and condoms--account for only 30% of worldwide contraceptive use. The failure of family planning programs to acknowledge the crucial role played by men in the contraceptive decision-making process may be responsible, in part, for stagnant contraceptive prevalence rates in some parts of the world. The development of new, reversible male methods…
Whither methods for men? Emerging gender issues in contraception
Few would deny that the knowledge and use of the means to control fertility have contributed to women's empowerment. Yet in addition to being a right for women, contraception can also be a burden, and dissatisfaction with female-dependent methods is common. Men wanting to share responsibility for birth spacing have few reversible options at present but new reversible methods for men are under development. Acceptability was studied during a recent…

Investigating the Structural Determinants of Homelessness
Houston is selected as an extreme case to test the hypothesis that homelessness results from a mismatch between the supply of rental housing affordable to the poor and the demand for low-cost housing. In 1983, Houston had a rental vacancy rate of 18% but also had a large and growing homeless population. Annual Housing Survey data for 1976-83 show that rent increases in Houston far exceeded the rate of inflation, while renter incomes stagnated. Ha…
Factors that Determine Prevalence of Use of Contraceptive Methods for Men
Globally, men have not shared equally with women the responsibility for fertility regulation. While family planning efforts have been directed almost exclusively toward women, the lack of male involvement may also reflect the limited options available to men. Current methods for men are either coitus-dependent, such as the condom or withdrawal, or permanent, such as vasectomy. The 20-year history of social science research on male contraceptive m…

Examining the actions of faith-based organizations and their influence on HIV/Aids-related stigma
BACKGROUND: Stigma and discrimination are widely recognized as factors that fuel the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Uganda's success in combating HIV/AIDS has been attributed to a number of factors, including political, religious and societal engagement and openness - actors that combat stigma and assist prevention efforts. OBJECTIVES: Our study aimed to explore perceptions of Uganda-based key decision-makers about the past, present and optimal future roles …
