  • Exploring healthcare workers’ experiences of managing patients returning to HIV care in Johannesburg, South Africa

    Open AccessMelanie A Bisnauth, Natasha Davies et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2022

    BACKGROUND: Retention of patients in HIV care is a critical barrier to reaching the UNAIDS 90-90-90 goals in South Africa. In January 2019, Anova Health Institute launched a campaign to encourage patients who had interrupted antiretroviral therapy to return to care. The Welcome Back campaign included training of health care workers and implementation of Médecins Sans Frontiers Welcome Services principles. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to e…

  • Supporting retention in HIV care through a holistic, patient-centred approach

    Open AccessCathrine Chinyandura, Anele Jiyane et al.ARTICLEBMC Psychology2022

    Holistic approaches such as case management have a strong potential to improve retention in care and adherence to ART. HIV is a complex disease which impacts different facets of an individual's life, hence requires holistic care to address all facets. Health systems need to transition towards holistic care to ensure that some patients do not slip through the cracks, improve patient outcomes and efficiency

  • Increases in HIV status disclosure and sexual communication between South African men who have sex with men and their partners following use of HIV self-testing kits

    Yea-Hung Chen, Yea‐Hung Chen et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2021

    Availability of HIV self-testing may increase HIV testing frequency among men who have sex with men (MSM). It is unclear, however, if self-testing may impact HIV-related sexual behaviors among MSM, including HIV status disclosure and condom use. We conducted a mixed methods analysis of changes in HIV-related behaviors after HIV self-testing introduction, using data from 110 MSM participating in a feasibility and acceptability study of HIV self-te…

  • Fidelity of HIV programme implementation by community health workers in rural Mopani district, South Africa

    Open AccessNireshni Naidoo, Jean Railton et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    This study demonstrates promising HIV programme implementation fidelity by CHWs in rural South Africa. Programme coverage and frequency should be improved whilst maintaining the good levels of duration and content. Resource investment, strengthening of operational structure, and research to identify other facilitators of programme implementation are warranted to improve programme effectiveness and impact

  • Delivering HIV services in partnership

    Open AccessGeoffrey A Jobson, Geoffrey Jobson et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2017

    BACKGROUND: The involvement of Global Health Initiatives (GHIs) in delivering health services in low and middle income countries (LMICs) depends on effective collaborative working at scales from the local to the international, and a single GHI is effectively constructed of multiple collaborations. Research is needed focusing on how collaboration functions in GHIs at the level of health service management. Here, collaboration between local impleme…

  • Sexual behaviour of women in rural South Africa

    Open AccessJan Henk Dubbink, Lisette van der Eem et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    This study provides insight into women's sexual behaviour in a rural South African region. There are important differences in sexual behaviour by age group and ethnicity and HIV status; these should be taken into account when designing tailor-made prevention packages

  • Patient factors to target for elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV

    Open AccessCoceka Nandipha Mnyani, Adonia Simango et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2014

    BACKGROUND: There is great impetus to achieve elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (eMTCT) by 2015, and part of this is to identify factors to target to achieve the goal. This study thus identified key patient factors for MTCT in a high HIV prevalence setting in Johannesburg, South Africa. Between November 2010 and May 2012, we conducted a case-control study among HIV-infected women with HIV-infected (cases) and uninfected (controls…

  • Early Antiretroviral Therapy and Mortality among HIV-Infected Infants

    Avy Violari, Mark F Cotton et al.ARTICLENew England Journal of Medicine2008

    BACKGROUND: In countries with a high seroprevalence of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), HIV infection contributes significantly to infant mortality. We investigated antiretroviral-treatment strategies in the Children with HIV Early Antiretroviral Therapy (CHER) trial. METHODS: HIV-infected infants 6 to 12 weeks of age with a CD4 lymphocyte percentage (the CD4 percentage) of 25% or more were randomly assigned to receive antiretroviral …

  • Caesarean section rates in South Africa

    K Patrick Matshidze, L M Richter et al.ARTICLEEthnicity and Health1998Citada por: 2Referencias: 4

    Population group' differences in caesarean section rates among South African women are not explained by differences in demographic risk factors for assisted delivery, nor by differences in access to private health care. Instead, the differences in section rates may reflect the effect of bias in clinical decision-making, and/or differences among women from different 'population groups' in their attitude towards assisted delivery, and their capacit…
