Navigating Masculinities
South African men remain disproportionately affected by tuberculosis (TB) and HIV, with social norms around masculinity often hindering care-seeking and medication adherence. This study investigates how Coach Mpilo, a peer mentoring intervention led by men who are TB survivors or living openly with HIV, engages concepts of masculinity to improve health outcomes among men in TB/HIV care. We conducted in-depth qualitative interviews with male peer …
“It’s being uncomfortable for who you are, because I think HIV is part of me … ”
Despite expanded antiretroviral therapy access since 2006 in South Africa, gay, bisexual and men who have sex with men (GBMSM) living with HIV face challenges navigating status-sharing risks with limited skills. Stigma, isolation and generational disparities further shape adherence and psychosocial needs across age groups. The Speaking Out and Allying Relationships (SOAR) intervention was designed to strengthen coping and disclosure skills with p…
Exploring sexual minority men’s perspectives and benefits of long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy in South Africa
In South Africa, sexual minority men (SMM) face high HIV rates and challenges with antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence, hindering viral suppression. Factors, such as non-disclosure, stigma, and partner dynamics, complicate adherence. Long-acting ART options, like injectables, could help address these challenges; however, their acceptability among SMM in South Africa remains unclear. Between April and June 2024, qualitative interviews were cond…
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…
Developing the Speaking Out and Allying Relationships Intervention on Videoconference for HIV-Positive GBMSM in Eastern Cape, South Africa
In South Africa, HIV prevalence for gay, bisexual, and men who have sex with men (GBMSM) is as high as 49.5%, yet only 25.7% are taking treatment, resulting in transmission risk between partners and the need for dyadic interventions for men in relationships. Through our preliminary research, we identified the evidence-based intervention Healthy Relationships (HR)—an HIV risk assessment and status disclosure intervention for those in relationships…
“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…
Ultimately, You Realize You’re on Your Own”
An estimated one in three gay and bisexual (GB) male couples receive a prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis over their life course with limited understanding of the impacts on their relationships. Psychological distress related to PCa diagnosis and treatment-related side effects have been shown to disrupt established GB partnership dynamics. Communication barriers often develop within GB relationships affected by PCa, further exacerbating couple tensi…
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 …
The way of the bricoleuse
In this article, I explore the way experimental documentary film practitioners may utilize the methodology of the bricoleuse in order to create films. I refer to my experiments in documentary film practice – mediations of memory, place and subjectivities – where I deploy hybrid filmic strategies of critical realism and fictional enactment. The bricoleuse may use footage obtained through pocket cameras, mobile devices, stills, archive or found foo…
Qualitative Identification of Intervention Preferences to Support Men’s Engagement and Retention in TB Care in South Africa
Globally and in South African specifically, men account for 56% and 62% of all tuberculosis (TB) cases, respectively. Men are at increased risk of not accessing TB testing or treatment, and having poor treatment outcomes. Unfortunately, no interventions exist to address these issues. Toward the development of targeted, patient-centered TB care and support interventions, we used semistructured interviews to explored men’s social network compositio…
Factors influencing adolescent girls and young women’s uptake of community-based PrEP services following home-based HIV testing in Eastern Cape, South Africa
Dwoskin and Me
In this article, I discuss the three experimental autobiographical films that Stephen Dwoskin made between 1994 and 2003: Trying to Kiss the Moon (1994), Some Friends (Apart) (2002), and Francis in Memorium (2003). I first met Dwoskin at the Royal College of Art (RCA) film school in London, England, where I was a student in the 1970s and he was a part-time tutor. We were both Jewish with very different personal histories and experiences, but afte…

Healthcare provider knowledge and attitudes about pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in pregnancy in Cape Town, South Africa
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in pregnancy can reduce HIV incidence and vertical transmission. Healthcare providers (HCPs) play a critical role in delivering PrEP in antenatal care but little is known about HCP knowledge and attitudes about PrEP in pregnancy. We conducted a qualitative study in two healthcare facilities to assess HCPs' PrEP knowledge and perspectives relating to HIV prevention in pregnant women. Between January-March'19, we adm…
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

Rural school experiences of South African gay and transgender youth
Low educational attainment, often a lack of a high school diploma or matriculation degree, has been linked to negative health outcomes and lower quality of life for sexual and gender minorities globally. However, optimism and resiliency have been demonstrated to provide buffering effects on school dropout. We conducted a study in a South African rural setting to understand the school experiences of gay men, drag queens, and transgender women in M…
“Booze is the main factor that got me where I am today”
Excessive alcohol consumption has been shown to increase HIV risk for men who have sex with men (MSM) and compromise HIV prevention behaviors. However, there is limited contextual understanding of alcohol use for MSM in rural sub-Saharan African settings, which can inform and direct HIV interventions. Applying an adaptation of PhotoVoice, we worked with 35 HIV-positive MSM who created photo-essays about alcohol and HIV in Mpumalanga. A semi-struc…
Exploring dual disclosures for men who have sex with men in Mpumalanga, South Africa
We explored to whom rural men who have sex with men (MSM) disclose their sexual identity and HIV status in Mpumalanga, South Africa. Participants were recruited using a modified snowball sampling method in order to complete a questionnaire. Descriptive and logistic regression analyses were conducted. There were 47 participants of whom 22 self-reported as HIV-positive. Most participants disclosed their sexuality and HIV status to immediate family …
Blurred boundaries
In this article I argue that using past films as found footage has benefited the documentary filmmaker in the production of experimental films. The use of found footage may be easily replicated using digital technology and re-edited into new work and offers opportunities to expand filmic discourse beyond the single text; the continuing expansion of screens, formats and digital technologies affords opportunities for experimentation with diverse sc…
HIV risk and prevention among men who have sex with men in rural South Africa
Rural South African men who have sex with men (MSM) are likely to be underserved in terms of access to relevant healthcare and HIV prevention services. While research in urban and peri-urban MSM populations has identified a range of factors affecting HIV risk in South African MSM, very little research is available that examines HIV risk and prevention in rural MSM populations. This exploratory study begins to address this lack by assessing percep…
Exploring the Impact of Childhood Abuse on HIV Social and Attitudinal Factors Among Adults With and Without this History in Sub-Saharan Africa
Trauma and silence
The article argues that there are limitations in relying solely on witness testimony and archival material to document the continuing effects of civil war. It references Daniels' 41-minute film, Not Reconciled (2009), which concerns Belchite, a medieval town in the Aragon region of Northern Spain, and the three-week battle that took place there in 1937. The article explores the ways in which the utilization of fictionalized characters, the voices…
