Maladaptive Coping Strategies Mediate the Relationship Between Depression and Anxiety and Moderate-to-Heavy Alcohol Use in Young South Africans with HIV
Study-to-Clinic Transition and Daily Oral PrEP Access Experiences Among Agyw in Eastern Cape, South Africa
The patient-provider relationship mediates the relationship between health literacy and resilience in young South Africans newly diagnosed with HIV
South African adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with HIV experience worse HIV-related clinical and psychological outcomes compared to older South Africans. Psychological resilience is protective against poorer outcomes, but little is known about disparities in psychological resilience among AYAs with HIV nor the mechanisms by which these differences arise. This study analyzed baseline data from a cohort of 100 AYA ages 18-24 years in Cape Town …
Youth-friendly services was the magic
Adherence to daily oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention has been challenging for adolescent girls and young women (AGYW). As part of The Community PrEP Study (CPS), AGYW were randomised to HIV-prevention empowerment counselling (intervention) or basic medication pick-up (control). In this qualitative sub-study, we interviewed AGYW participants ( n = 39) to explore PrEP use and study experiences by study arm, and study staff ( n…
Food insecurity and unemployment as mediators of the relationship between the Covid-19 pandemic and psychological well-being in young South Africans with HIV
Food insecurity may have decreased amongst our sample of young people during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our findings build on our understanding of how the psychological well-being of young people living with HIV was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and may lend support to interventions targeting food insecurity to improve psychological well-being in this population
Family Social Support Mediates the Relationship Between the Covid-19 Pandemic and Psychosocial well-being in a Cohort of Young South Africans Newly Diagnosed with HIV
“I know why I am taking this pill”
There is limited understanding of the dynamic interplay between adolescent girl’s and young women’s (AGYW) disclosure and social support for using oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and adherence. Towards this, we conducted interviews with 42 AGYW enrolled in The Community PrEP Study who exhibited either high or low blood concentrations of tenofovir-diphosphate (TFV-DP) in dried blood spots. Guided by Theories of Practice, interviews and analys…
Validation of a brief screener for broad-spectrum mental and substance-use disorders in South Africa
In low-resource settings, valid mental health screening tools for non-specialists can be used to identify patients with psychiatric disorders in need of critical mental health care. The Mental Wellness Tool-13 (mwTool-13) is a 13-item screener for identifying adults at risk for common mental disorders (CMDs) alcohol-use disorders (AUDs), substance-use disorders (SUD), severe mental disorders (SMDs), and suicide risk (SR). The mwTool-13 is adminis…
What motivated men to start PrEP? A cross-section of men starting PrEP in Buffalo city municipality, South Africa
Self-perceived risk for HIV acquisition was a major facilitator for men's PrEP initiation. Although men expressed positive perceptions of PrEP users, they noted that HIV testing may be a barrier to PrEP initiation. Finally, men recommended convenient access points to facilitate PrEP initiation and sustained use. Gender-responsive interventions tailored to men's needs, wants, and voices will facilitate their uptake of HIV prevention services, and …
Factors influencing adolescent girls and young women’s uptake of community-based PrEP services following home-based HIV testing in Eastern Cape, South Africa
Does It Matter What Screener We Use? A Comparison of Ultra-brief PHQ-4 and E-mwTool-3 Screeners for Anxiety and Depression Among People With and Without HIV
Masculinity, resources, and retention in care
The role of trust and health literacy in nurse-delivered point-of-care STI testing for pregnant women living with HIV, Tshwane District, South Africa
We recommend implementing patient health literacy programmes as part of POC services to support women in remembering and disclosing their specific STI diagnosis to sexual partners, which may facilitate partner treatment uptake and thus decrease the risk of re-infection
Evaluating the electronic tuberculosis register surveillance system in Eden District, Western Cape, South Africa, 2015

Communication and Mass Vaccination Strategies After Pertussis Outbreak in Rural Amish Communities—Illinois, 2009–2010
PURPOSE: During January 2010, 2 infants from an Amish community in east-central Illinois were hospitalized with pertussis. The local health department (LDH) intervened to control disease transmission, identify contributing factors, and determine best communications methods to improve vaccination coverage. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using public health surveillance data to determine the extent of the outbreak; the standard…
