Correlates of Self-Reported HIV Testing Among Patients in Specialized Substance Abuse Treatment Centers in South Africa
Unseen, unheard and unprotected
Violence against women, including female sex workers, is a public health concern worldwide. This is the first study in Mozambique to estimate the prevalence of and factors associated with physical and sexual violence against female sex workers. We used data collected from 1,250 women recruited using respondent-driven sampling in the cities of Maputo, Beira and Nampula in 2011-12. Participants were 15 years of age and reported having had sex for m…

Risk Factors Associated with HIV Among Men Who Have Sex Only with Men and Men Who Have Sex with Both Men and Women in Three Urban Areas in Mozambique
Socio-demographic, Behavioral and Health Characteristics of Underage Female Sex Workers in Mozambique
Prevalence of HIV and Associated Risk Factors Among Long Distance Truck Drivers in Inchope, Mozambique, 2012
High Burden of HIV Infection and Risk Behaviors Among Female Sex Workers in Three Main Urban Areas of Mozambique
Acceptability, feasibility and challenges of implementing an HIV prevention intervention for people living with HIV/Aids among healthcare providers in Mozambique
Despite the Mozambique government's efforts to curb human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), national prevalence is 11.5% and support is needed to expand HIV-related services and improve program quality. Positive prevention (PP) programs, which prioritize HIV prevention with people living with HIV and AIDS (PLHIV), have been recognized as an important intervention for preventing new HIV infections. To address…
Men Who Have Sex with Men in Mozambique
The population of men who have sex with men (MSM) has been largely ignored in HIV-related policies and programming in Mozambique and there is little information about the contribution of MSM to the HIV epidemic. An integrated biological and behavioral study among MSM using respondent-driven sampling was conducted in 2011 in Maputo, Beira and Nampula/Nacala. Men who reported engaging in oral or anal sex with other men in the last 12 months answere…
Adapting Evidence–Based Behavioral Interventions for New Settings and Target Populations
Many HIV prevention funding agencies require the use of evidence-based behavioral interventions (EBIs) previously shown to be effective through rigorous outcome evaluation. Often, the implementing agency's setting or target population is different than those in the original implementation and evaluation. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention, in collaboration with internal and external partners, developed …
Barriers to and facilitators for female participation in an HIV prevention project in Rural Ethiopia
Ethiopian women face complex social and cultural factors that influence their probability of HIV infection. HIV prevention efforts among this population are particularly important; however, female participation in a rural, HIV prevention project has been minimal. This programme evaluation investigated barriers and facilitators influencing women's ability to participate in project activities. Evaluation data were collected through nine focus group…
Fixed-Choice and Open-Ended Response Formats
This article examined similarities and differences in responses to open-ended and fixed-choice question formats gathered from Zimbabwean women participating in an HIV intervention study ( n = 227). Specifically, the authors compared the responses of women to two questions (one open-ended and one fixed-choice) about male condom negotiation strategies used with their partners. Comparisons across formats revealed that the definitions of negotiation …
