  • CD4 count at antiretroviral therapy initiation and the risk of loss to follow-up

    Anna Grimsrud, Morna Cornell et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2016Cited by: 1References: 21

    BACKGROUND: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation is now recommended irrespective of CD4 count. However data on the relationship between CD4 count at ART initiation and loss to follow-up (LTFU) are limited and conflicting. METHODS: We conducted a cohort analysis including all adults initiating ART (2008-2012) at three public sector sites in South Africa. LTFU was defined as no visit in the 6 months before database closure. The Kaplan-Meier esti…

  • Pregnant women's experiences of male partner involvement in the context of prevention of mother-to-child transmission in Khayelitsha, South Africa

    Kirsty Brittain, Janet Giddy et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2015

    Male partner involvement (MPI) has been identified as a priority intervention in programmes for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV, but rates of MPI remain low worldwide. This study used a quantitative survey (n=170) and two focus group discussions (FGDs) with 16 HIV-positive pregnant women attending a public sector antenatal care service in Khayelitsha, South Africa, to examine the determinants of high levels of involv…

  • Barriers to initiating antiretroviral therapy during pregnancy

    Kathryn Stinson, Landon MyersARTICLEAfrican Journal of AIDS Research2012

    Despite the rapid expansion of antiretroviral therapy (ART) programmes, uptake of ART in pregnancy remains suboptimal. Little is known about the barriers to initiating lifelong ART in pregnancy and the challenges to postpartum retention in HIV care, particularly in sub-Saharan African contexts with a high burden of disease. In this qualitative study, 28 HIV-positive pregnant or postpartum women, who either had initiated ART or were eligible for A…

  • HIV-infected women's experiences of pregnancy and motherhood in Cape Town, South Africa

    Kathryn Stinson, Landon MyersARTICLEVulnerable Children and Youth…2012References: 6

    Antenatal services provide a valuable opportunity for the uptake of prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV interventions and antiretroviral treatment (ART) for maternal health. While knowledge of HIV status during pregnancy is beneficial to both mother and child, PMTCT programmes may focus more on prevention and the physical aspects of health than the psychosocial impact of HIV on pregnancy and motherhood. The objective of this…

  • Pop singer as healer

    Tessa Dowling, Kathryn StinsonARTICLEJournal of African Cultural Studies2011References: 10

    This article examines the significance of the vocation to divinership (ukuthwasa) for a contemporary Xhosa Afro-soul artist. We explore the singer's calling and the way in which she blurs the boundaries between what it means to be a traditional Xhosa healer and what it means to be a contemporary singer who chooses to sing in Xhosa about Xhosa cultural practices. The healing power of the vernacular is not explicitly declared, although her lyrics s…

  • Health care providers' attitudes towards termination of pregnancy

    Open AccessJohn Harries, Jane Harries et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2009

    This is the first known qualitative study undertaken in South Africa exploring providers' attitudes towards abortion and adds to the body of information addressing the barriers to safe abortion services. In order to sustain a pool of abortion providers, programmes which both attract prospective abortion providers, and retain existing providers, needs to be developed and financial compensation for abortion care providers needs to be considered
