Trajectories and predictors of HIV care retention among individuals receiving ART in rural South Africa
Background: Successful retention in care of people living with HIV remains a challenge and a cornerstone of ending the epidemic. A better understanding of retention predictors could guide an evidence-based approach to target interventions. We sought to characterise HIV care retention trajectories among individuals receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) in a rural South Africa setting, and to determine factors associated with those trajectories. M…
The use of monitoring data and community feedback mechanisms to increase HIV testing among men during a cluster-randomised community mobilisation trial in South Africa
This short communication describes the development and implementation of a programme monitoring and feedback process during a cluster-randomised community mobilisation intervention conducted in rural Bushbuckridge, Mpumalanga, South Africa. Intervention activities took place from August 2015 to July 2018 with the aim of addressing social barriers to HIV counselling and testing and engagement in HIV care, with a specific focus on reaching men. Mul…
Gendered syndemic of intimate partner violence, alcohol misuse, and HIV risk among peri-urban, heterosexual men in South Africa
Men whose sexual behaviors place them at risk of HIV often exhibit a "cluster" of risky behaviors, including alcohol misuse and violence against women. Called the "Substance Abuse, Violence and AIDS (SAVA) syndemic," this intersecting set of issues is poorly understood among heterosexual men in sub-Saharan Africa. We conducted a baseline survey with a cohort of men in an informal, peri-urban settlement near Johannesburg during the period of Jan -…
HIV non-testing, perpetration of violence against women, and sexual risk-behaviour
Despite HIV testing having improved globally, men remain disproportionately less likely to test for HIV. While violence against women (VAW) and HIV risk have a strong association among women, few studies explore men around VAW perpetration, risky-sexual behaviour, and HIV testing. Males aged 18-42 years were recruited from a peri-urban settlement near Johannesburg, South Africa. Data were from an endline of a trial. We used logistic regression to…
Process evaluation of a community mobilization intervention for preventing men’s partner violence use in peri-urban South Africa
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is experienced by one-third of women globally, yet few programs attempt to shift men's IPV perpetration. Community mobilization is a potential strategy for reducing men's IPV perpetration, but this has rarely been examined globally. We conducted a mixed-methods process evaluation alongside a trial testing community mobilization in peri-urban South Africa. We used in-depth interviews (n=114), participant observation…

Understanding men’s networks and perceptions of leadership to promote HIV testing and treatment in Agincourt, South Africa
Understanding informal leadership in high HIV prevalence settings is important for the success of popular opinion leader (POL) and other HIV testing and treatment promotion strategies which aim to leverage the influence of these leaders. We conducted a study in Mpumalanga province, South Africa, in which we aimed to: (1) describe men's personal networks and key social relationships; and (2) describe the types of individuals men identify as leader…
