  • Psychosocial and behavioral factors associated with HIV among adolescent girls and young women in DREAMS districts in South Africa

    Open AccessKaymarlin Govender, Sean Beckett et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Background High HIV prevalence among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in South Africa is driven by multiple interacting psychosocial risks. Some of these risks include socioeconomic deprivation, poor educational outcomes, poor mental health, alcohol and drug use which are associated with HIV-infection and sexual risk behavior. This article seeks to deepen our understanding of the role of psychosocial and behavioral factors in the HIV epide…

  • Exposure to comprehensive sexuality education in schools in South Africa

    Open AccessGavin George, Sean Beckett et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2024

    Comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) is seen as a key instrument through which to affect behaviour and improve sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes amongst adolescents. However, few studies have to date evaluated key SRH outcomes following exposure to CSE within a school setting. This study estimates the association between CSE and HIV testing and HIV testing self-efficacy amongst HIV positive adolescent girls. Data were collected fro…

  • Seroprevalence survey of anti-Sars-CoV-2 antibody and associated factors in South Africa

    Open AccessSizulu Moyo, Leickness C Simbayi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Population-based serological testing is important to understand the epidemiology and estimate the true cumulative incidence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) to inform public health interventions. This study reports findings of a national household population SARS-CoV-2 serosurvey in people 12 years and older in South Africa. This cross-sectional multi-stage random stratified cluster survey undertaken from November 2…

  • Effects of a multimedia campaign on HIV self-testing and PrEP outcomes among young people in South Africa

    Open AccessIsolde Birdthistle, Sarah Mulwa et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    INTRODUCTION: Innovative HIV technologies can help to reduce HIV incidence, yet uptake of such tools is relatively low among young people. To create awareness and demand among adolescents and young adults, a new campaign of the pan-African MTV Shuga series ('Down South 2'; DS2), featured storylines and messages about HIV self-testing (HIVST) and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) through television, radio and accompanying multimedia activities in 20…

  • Determining HIV risk for Adolescent Girls and Young Women (Agyw) in relationships with “Blessers” and age-disparate partners

    Open AccessGavin George, Sean Beckett et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    Different relationships present different HIV risk to AGYW. AGYW who had engaged in relationships with both a Blesser and an age-disparate partner were at greater HIV risk when examined against these relationships independent of one another. The data reveals the compounded HIV risk of being in both a transactional and age-disparate relationship

  • It is guiding us to protect ourselves

    Open AccessVenetia Baker, Sarah Mulwa et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2022Referencias: 4

    This study explores how and why young people engage with MTV Shuga , a popular mass media campaign in South Africa, to understand what makes effective HIV edutainment. Young MTV Shuga viewers from the Eastern Cape, South Africa and their parents participated in remote individual interviews and focus groups in 2020. Qualitative data were transcribed and analysed using a thematic iterative approach. Young participants engaged with MTV Shuga for rel…

  • Depression symptoms, HIV testing, linkage to ART, and viral suppression among women in a high HIV burden district in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

    Open AccessKaymarlin Govender, Dick Durevall et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2022Referencias: 52

    Achieving the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets by 2020 is contingent on identifying and addressing mental health challenges that may affect HIV testing and treatment-related behaviors. This study is based on survey data from KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (2014-2015). HIV positive women who reported higher depression scores had a lower odds of having tested previously for HIV (15-25 years: AOR = 0.90, 95% CI [0.83, 0.98]; 26-49 years: AOR = 0.90, 95% CI [0.8…

  • Poor rates of linkage to HIV care and uptake of treatment after home-based HIV testing among newly diagnosed 15-to-49 year-old men and women in a high HIV prevalence setting in South Africa

    Brendan Maughan-Brown, Sean Beckett et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2021

    Early antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation is essential, but linkage to care following community-based services is often poor, and inadequately understood. This study examined factors influencing linkage to care following home-based HIV-testing services (HBHTS) in a hyper-endemic setting in South Africa. HBHTS was offered to participants (N = 10,236) enrolled in the second HIV Incidence Provincial Surveillance System survey (2015–2016), KwaZul…

  • Non-partner sexual violence experience and toilet type amongst young (18–24) women in South Africa

    Open AccessA Gibbs, Tarylee Reddy et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2020

    Inadequate toilet facilities may increase women's risk of experiencing non-partner sexual violence. We sought to assess the association between young (18-24 year-olds) women's access to toilets and past year non-partner rape experience, in deprived communities in South Africa. Data came from cross-sectional, population-based survey from poor communities from four health districts in two provinces, namely, City of Johannesburg, and Ekurhuleni in G…

  • Strengthening HIV surveillance in the antiretroviral therapy era

    Open AccessAyesha Bm Kharsany, Ayesha B M Kharsany et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    The results from HIPSS will provide critical data regarding HIV prevalence and incidence in this community and will establish whether HIV prevention and treatment efforts in a "real world", non-trial setting have an impact on HIV incidence at a population level. Importantly, the study design and methods will inform future methods for HIV surveillance
