HIV epidemic control in South Africa
This paper examines how shifting global health agendas focused on controlling the global HIV epidemic shape responsibilities among health system actors within a national HIV response. Focusing on South Africa-the country with the largest number of people living with HIV in the world-I examine two moments where such responsibilities were negotiated. First, the shift from a largely donor-funded programme to one of full government ownership, highlig…
Navigating complex care pathways–healthcare workers’ perspectives on health system barriers for children with tuberculous meningitis in Cape Town, South Africa
Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) occurs when tuberculosis (TB) bacilli disseminate and seed into the meninges, triggering a severe inflammatory response that often leads to brain infarction. It is the most severe and debilitating form of childhood TB with high mortality, and children who survive TBM often suffer lifelong physical and neuro-disability resulting in emotional, social, and economic burdens for families. In the early stages the symptoms m…
Testing when I know my status
Landmark studies demonstrating a reduction in onward HIV transmission and improved survival have informed a shift in global antiretroviral therapy policy to a ‘treat all’ approach. Global HIV stakeholders have called on countries to urgently scale up their HIV programs, involving responsibilities for various health system actors for accelerating HIV epidemic control. In this article we explore how community members in South Africa who were part o…
A scoping review of patient-centred tuberculosis care interventions
Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading cause of death globally. In 2015, the World Health Organization hailed patient-centred care as the first of three pillars in the End TB strategy. Few examples of how to deliver patient-centred care in TB programmes exist in practice; TB control efforts have historically prioritised health systems structures and processes, with little consideration for the experiences of people affected by TB. We aimed to describe ho…
Perspectives of people living with HIV and health workers about a point-of-care adherence assay
Current antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence monitoring is premised on patients’ self-reported adherence behaviour (prone to recall error) and verified by blood viral load measurement (which can delay results). A newly developed Urine Tenofovir Rapid Assay (UTRA) assesses tenofovir in urine at point-of-care and is a novel tool to test and immediately respond to adherence levels of people living with HIV (PLHIV). We explored PLHIV and health wor…
Analysing interventions designed to reduce tuberculosis-related stigma
Stigma is a critical barrier for TB care delivery; yet data on stigma reduction interventions is limited. This review maps the available literature on TB stigma reduction interventions, using the Health Stigma and Discrimination framework and an implementation analysis to identify research gaps and inform intervention design. Using search terms for TB and stigma, we systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science. Two independent review…
It Stays Between Us
In contexts of scarcity, managing comorbidities is a complex process, shaped by divergent understandings of causes, prognoses, and social meanings of illness. Drawing on research with one young South African woman living with HIV and epilepsy, and 13 other people with comorbidities, we describe how concepts of "public" and "private" shape the management of co-morbid conditions. Despite narratives of HIV "normalization," participants labored to ke…
OUP accepted manuscript
Universal' access to antiretroviral treatment (ART) has become the global standard for treating people living with HIV and achieving epidemic control; yet, findings from numerous 'test and treat' trials and implementation studies in sub-Saharan Africa suggest that bringing 'universal' access to ART to scale is more complex than anticipated. Using South Africa as a case example, we describe the research priorities and foci in the literature on exp…
Ageing as ‘Pathology’
Drawing on careful observations and interviews conducted in two old-age institutions in Stellenbosch, this article critically considers the perception that these institutions fulfil a normal social function. Rather, I show how the very institutions designed to care for the elderly end up producing a discourse that renders old age pathological. The institutions’ mediation of the relationship between society and the ageing person is not natural, bu…
