A man without money getting a sexual partner? It doesn’t exist in our community”
Research on transactional sexual relationships has largely focused on women's perspectives. Better understanding the men's views-especially regarding relationships with adolescent girls and young women-can inform HIV prevention efforts. In 2017, 134 in-depth interviews were conducted with the male partners of girls and young women aged 19-47 years, 94 in Uganda and 40 in Eswatini. Respondents were recruited at venues such as bars where men and po…
Conflicted masculinities
This ethnographic study explores the experience of men in long-term relationships with sex workers and their construction of masculine identities in Kampala, Uganda. Data were collected in 2019 and comprise in-depth interviews with 13 male partners and two group discussions of women with long-term male partners. Thematic analysis used an intersectional lens to frame reconfigurations of gender and masculinity in the context of relationships with s…
A Ugandan Parenting Programme to Prevent Gender-Based Violence
Purpose : To develop a culturally-sensitive intervention for the early prevention of gender-based violence (GBV) in Uganda. Methods : Programme design followed the 6SQuID model of intervention development and multi-sectorial advice. A formative evaluation was conducted in two communities with six groups and 138 participants. Findings : Four familial predictors of GBV were identified as potentially malleable: poor parent-child attachment, harsh pa…
Marginal men, respectable masculinity and access to HIV services through intimate relationships with female sex workers in Kampala, Uganda
Masculinity influences men's sexual risk-taking behaviour and affects uptake of HIV services. We draw on data from a year-long (2019) ethnographic study focusing on men in relationships with female sex workers (FSW) in Kampala, Uganda to examine how and why two marginalised groups of people may interact to produce positive health behaviours. Data from in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and participant observation were collected and anal…
Acceptability of HIV testing for men attending televised football venues in Uganda
This study suggests that HIV testing services at venues where EPL football games are televised is generally acceptable to men. In implementing such services, consideration should be given to preferences for external or unknown health workers and the motivating factors contributing to the use of these services. Given that HIV testing is currently not conducted in these settings, further research should be conducted to evaluate the feasibility of t…
Men’s Involvement in a Parenting Programme to Reduce Child Maltreatment and Gender-Based Violence
Parenting programmes involving fathers can reduce child maltreatment and gender-based violence. However, most parenting programmes find it difficult to recruit fathers. We piloted a 21 session parenting intervention, ‘Parenting for Respectability’, with fathers and mothers near Kampala, Uganda. Sixty-one fathers and 83 mothers were recruited initially and 52 fathers and 76 mothers retained to the end. We interviewed with 24 fathers and 16 mothers…
How Mothers in Poverty Explain Their Use of Corporal Punishment
Corporal punishment in the early years is associated with anti-social behaviour and violence, but little is known about its social and cultural context in low income countries. This paper analyses how 12 deprived women in Kampala, Uganda, perceived corporal punishment, drawing on repeated semi-structured interviews. All thought it was sometimes necessary, for three main reasons. First, it was an important strategy to ensure good behaviour and mai…
Relationship dynamics and sexual risk behaviour of male partners of female sex workers in Kampala, Uganda
Regular male partners of female sex workers (FSWs) represent an important population to reach with HIV-prevention interventions. This paper discusses the relationship dynamics and HIV/sexually transmitted infection risk behaviour of men involved with self-identified FSWs in Kampala. Between 2011 and 2014 we conducted repeat in-depth interviews with 42 male partners of FSWs attending a clinic for women at high risk of HIV-infection in Kampala. Men…
Young people with HIV attending a transition clinic in Kampala, Uganda
Children will always be children’
HIV-positive children and young people may face substantial social barriers to maintaining appropriate levels of adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) during childhood and adolescence. In this paper, we focus on these children's voices and the challenges they face growing up living with HIV in Uganda. Drawing on retrospective self-reports of 26 children living with HIV, taking ART and attending a clinic in central Uganda, we examine the reaso…
Intersectionality of HIV stigma and masculinity in eastern Uganda
To improve men's involvement in HIV services, the intersection between HIV stigma and masculinity should be considered. In particular, better integration of and linkage between gender transformative interventions that support men to reconstruct their male identities and reject signifiers of masculinity that prevent their access to HIV services, and stigma-reduction interventions that target social and structural drivers of stigma is required with…
Masculinity, social context and HIV testing
The two main forms of masculine ideals prevailing in Mam-Kiror in Busia led men to have different motives for HIV testing. Reputational masculinity was largely inconsistent with the requirements of couple testing, community outreach testing and the organisation of testing services, discouraging men from testing. Conversely, concern to perform one's family roles as a respectable man meant accessing treatment to extend one's life, which encouraged …
Dented' and 'Resuscitated' masculinities
There is limited research on the impact of HIV or its treatment on men's identity construction and gender roles in sub-Saharan Africa. Based on in-depth research with 26 men in rural Uganda, this article discusses men's vulnerabilities and shifting gender relations and sense of masculinity resulting from HIV infection or enrolment on treatment in eastern Uganda. The findings suggest two broad categories of masculinity: respectable and reputationa…

HIV serostatus disclosure and lived experiences of adolescents at the Transition Clinic of the Infectious Diseases Clinic in Kampala, Uganda
Most studies on HIV serostatus disclosure and adolescents focus on whether, how and when to disclose to adolescents their HIV diagnosis. Fewer studies have examined HIV serostatus disclosure by adolescents who know they are infected with HIV. This study presents qualitative data examining HIV serostatus and treatment disclosure practices and concerns of young people living with HIV in Uganda and the extent to which they are satisfied with current…
