  • Good health’ as a barrier and facilitator to ART initiation

    Amílcar Magaço, Kathryn Dovel et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2019

    HIV test-and-treat programmes are being implemented throughout sub-Saharan Africa, enrolling HIV-positive clients into antiretroviral treatment (ART) immediately after diagnosis, regardless of clinical stage or CD4 count. This study conducted in Mozambique examined what influenced clients who tested HIV-positive in the context of test-and-treat to make ART initiation decisions. Eighty in-depth interviews with HIV-positive clients and nine focus g…

  • MSM-ing' as a networking concept

    Open AccessFabian Cataldo, Paul BoyceARTICLEMedicine Anthropology Theory2019

    This article explores the creation of 'MSM' as global health category over the course of the HIV and AIDS epidemic, and across country contexts from India to southern and eastern Africa. We conceive of 'MSM' as a mode of 'doing' and 'becoming': 'MSM-ing', so to speak. Actor-network perspectives and ethnographic reflections are engaged to elucidate 'MSM' as a term that both enables and inhibits communications about sexualities and risks. We consid…

  • Understanding the linkages between informal and formal care for people living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessShelley Susan Lee, Karina Kielmann et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2012

    In response to the human resource challenges facing African health systems, there is increasing involvement of informal care providers in HIV care. Through social and institutional interactions that occur in the delivery of HIV care, linkages between formal and informal systems of care often emerge. Based on a review of studies documenting the relationships between formal and informal HIV care in sub-Saharan Africa, we suggest that linkages can b…

  • Tracking the rise of the “expert patient” in evolving paradigms of HIV care

    Karina Kielmann, Fabian CataldoARTICLEAIDS Care2010

    In the context of rolling out antiretroviral treatment programmes in resource-constrained settings, "expert patients" are hailed as an important step towards greater involvement of people living with HIV (PLHIV) in HIV care, and in addressing the human resources crisis. The rise of the "expert patient" in HIV care partly echoes the move towards greater patient agency and self-management that informs health services delivery in industrialised coun…

  • Delivering comprehensive home-based care programmes for HIV

    Open AccessAlison Wringe, Fabian Cataldo et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2010

    Home-based care (HBC) programmes in low- and middle-income countries have evolved over the course of the past two decades in response to the HIV epidemic and wider availability of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Evidence is emerging from small-scale and well-resourced studies that ART delivery can be effectively incorporated within HBC programmes. However, before this approach can be expanded, it is necessary to consider the lessons learned from im…

  • New forms of citizenship and socio-political inclusion

    Open AccessFabian CataldoARTICLESociology of Health & Illness2008Cited by: 22References: 8

    Brazil has received praise internationally for its national health policy against HIV. Whilst the ethical stance of the Brazilian programme has been widely applauded, there is a lack of empirical data on how the commitment to equitable and universal HIV prevention and treatment works in practice among the poorest population groups. The aim of this paper is to explore the broad ethics of the Brazilian AIDS programme by investigating how universal …
