  • Migration and its impact on universal HIV testing and treatment in the HPTN 071 (PopART) study communities

    Open AccessDavid Macleod, Sian Floyd et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Migrants have been identified as a population left behind by the AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) response, with evidence showing poorer HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) outcomes and reduced intervention effectiveness in mobile populations. We used data from the HPTN 071 (PopART) trial (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT01900977) to investigate migration and HIV-related indicators, assessing whether community migration influenced PopART t…

  • Does enhanced HIV prevention, diagnosis, and linkage to care reduce hospitalisation in high HIV-burden communities in Zambia and South Africa? findings from the HPTN 071 (PopART) randomised trial

    Open AccessRonelle Burger, Nomtha Bell‐Mandla et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    The objective of this study is to explore if a community-based HIV combination prevention intervention reduced inpatient hospitalisations in Zambia and South Africa by diagnosing HIV and TB in earlier stages of disease progression, thereby preventing severe disease and new infections. As part of the HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) 071 trial, hospitalisation data from a cohort of 16 968 consenting randomly sampled adults aged 18–44 years were…

  • Redefining ‘family’

    Open AccessLaing de Villiers, L Swartz et al.ARTICLESSM - Qualitative Research in…2024

    Transfeminine women (assigned male sex at birth and identifying with a feminine gender identity) are at risk for intersectional stigma related to their gender, sexual orientation, and other parts of their social identities (including age, class, and race). These layered stigmas can result in increased physical and mental health concerns related to physical and emotional violence, substance use, high risk sexual behaviour and HIV exposure. Social …

  • The local dynamics of sociostructural features and HIV stigma in the HPTN 071 (PopART) trial

    Open AccessVirginia Bond, Lario Viljoen et al.ARTICLEStigma and Health2024

    Across sub-Saharan Africa, stigma levels have been decreasing but not enough to achieve the 95–95–95 HIV targets by 2030. Current global HIV frameworks have identified stigma reduction, context specific interventions, and community mobilization as critical to enabling more effective uptake of HIV services. We conducted a retrospective analysis of longitudinal qualitative and quantitative data collected in 21 urban communities in Zambia and South …

  • HIV and gender identity expression among transfeminine people in the Western Cape, South Africa – a thematic analysis of data from the HPTN 071 (PopART) trial

    Open AccessLaing de Villiers, L Swartz et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    Our findings are amongst the first exploratory and descriptive data of transfeminine people in South Africa. We show how transfeminine people navigate fluid gender identities that could pose a challenge for accessing and utilizing HIV services that are currently set up for transgender individuals or MSM. More work needs to be done to understand and respond to the diverse and shifting ways people experience their gender identities in this high HIV…

  • Testing when I know my status

    Open AccessHanlie Myburgh, Graeme Hoddinott et al.ARTICLESSM - Qualitative Research in…2023

    Landmark studies demonstrating a reduction in onward HIV transmission and improved survival have informed a shift in global antiretroviral therapy policy to a ‘treat all’ approach. Global HIV stakeholders have called on countries to urgently scale up their HIV programs, involving responsibilities for various health system actors for accelerating HIV epidemic control. In this article we explore how community members in South Africa who were part o…

  • The effect of universal testing and treatment for HIV on health-related quality of life – An analysis of data from the HPTN 071 (PopART) cluster randomised trial

    Open AccessKatherine Davis, Michael Pickles et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2023

    The intervention did not change overall HRQoL, suggesting that raising HRQoL among PLHIV might require more than improved testing and treatment. However, PLHIV had fewer problems with pain/discomfort under the full intervention; this benefit of UTT should be maximised during roll-out

  • Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and Associated Factors in HPTN 071 (PopART) Study Communities in Zambia and South Africa—A Comparison by HIV Status

    Open AccessKalpana Sabapathy, Heidi Stöckl et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2022

    The HPTN 071(PopART) study was a community-randomised trial in Zambia and South Africa, examining the impact of combination-prevention including universal testing and treatment (UTT), on HIV-incidence. This sub-study evaluated factors associated with IPV (physical and/or sexual) to identify differences by HIV status. During 2015-16, a random subset of adults who participated in the first year of the PopART intervention were recruited and standard…

  • Motivating people living with HIV to initiate antiretroviral treatment outside national guidelines in three clinics in the HPTN 071 (PopART) trial, South Africa

    Constance Mubekapi‐musadaidzwa, Dillon T Wademan et al.ARTICLEAfrican Journal of AIDS Research2021

    Background : The HPTN 071 (PopART) trial implemented universal test and treat (UTT) in three clinics in the Western Cape, South Africa at a time when antiretroviral treatment (ART) was only offered by CD4 threshold and World Health Organization clinical staging. This required a concomitant shift in the way health workers communicated ART initiation messages. We provide insight into front-line ART initiation communication pre-national policy shift…

  • Community-based health workers implementing universal access to HIV testing and treatment

    Open AccessLario Viljoen, Tila Mainga et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2021

    The global expansion of HIV testing, prevention and treatment services is necessary to achieve HIV epidemic control and promote individual and population health benefits for people living with HIV (PLHIV) in sub-Saharan Africa. Community-based health workers (CHWs) could play a key role in supporting implementation at scale. In the HPTN 071 (PopART) trial in Zambia and South Africa, a cadre of 737 study-specific CHWs, working closely with governm…

  • Universal HIV testing and treatment and HIV stigma reduction

    Open AccessLario Viljoen, Virginia Bond et al.ARTICLESociology of Health & Illness2021Referências: 16

    Despite continued development of effective HIV treatment, expanded access to care and advances in prevention modalities, HIV-related stigma persists. We examine how, in the context of a universal HIV-testing and treatment trial in South Africa and Zambia, increased availability of HIV services influenced conceptualisations of HIV. Using qualitative data, we explore people's stigma-related experiences of living in 'intervention' and 'control' stud…

  • Stigma and HIV service access among transfeminine and gender diverse women in South Africa – a narrative analysis of longitudinal qualitative data from the HPTN 071 (PopART) trial

  • OUP accepted manuscript

    Open AccessHanlie Myburgh, Lindsey Reynolds et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2020

    Universal' access to antiretroviral treatment (ART) has become the global standard for treating people living with HIV and achieving epidemic control; yet, findings from numerous 'test and treat' trials and implementation studies in sub-Saharan Africa suggest that bringing 'universal' access to ART to scale is more complex than anticipated. Using South Africa as a case example, we describe the research priorities and foci in the literature on exp…

  • Understanding the Time Needed to Link to Care and Start ART in Seven HPTN 071 (PopART) Study Communities in Zambia and South Africa

    Open AccessThe HPTN study team, Janet Seeley et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2018

    To achieve UNAIDS 90:90:90 targets at population-level, knowledge of HIV status must be followed by timely linkage to care, initiation and maintenance of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for all people living with HIV (PLHIV). Interpreting quantitative patterns using qualitative data, we investigate time taken to link to care and initiate ART amongst individuals aware of their HIV-status in high HIV-prevalence urban communities in the HPTN 071 (PopAR…

  • HIV-related stigma and universal testing and treatment for HIV prevention and care

    Open AccessJulian Hargreaves, James R Hargreaves et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2016Citada por: 4Referências: 45

    Background : Stigma and discrimination related to HIV and key populations at high risk of HIV have the potential to impede the implementation of effective HIV prevention and treatment programmes at scale. Studies measuring the impact of stigma on these programmes are rare. We are conducting an implementation science study of HIV-related stigma in communities and health settings within a large, pragmatic cluster-randomized trial of a universal tes…
