Sex work and condom use in Soweto, South Africa
Despite public health interventions targeting sex workers in an attempt to increase condom use, HIV still remains a significant health issue for those involved in the sex industry in many countries. In this paper, we analyse data collected as part of an ethnographic study of sex work in Soweto, South Africa. We show that the main problems with consistent condom use are clients who threaten violence if sex workers insist on condoms, clients who ar…
Empowering sex workers? Critical reflections on peer-led risk-reduction workshops in Soweto, South Africa
Background: Sex workers in South Africa face various forms of structural and interpersonal violence, including police violence, exclusion from health services, and stigmatization and marginalization within their communities. In an attempt to counteract the harmful health effects of criminalization and exclusion, risk-reduction workshops are a key component of HIV prevention programs globally. This paper offers a critical investigation of Creative…
Challenges with seeking HIV care services
Results indicate multiple challenges faced by older adults that need attention in ensuring continuous engagement in HIV care. Targeted HIV care for older adults would, therefore, significantly improve their access to and experience of HIV care. Of key importance is the integration of other chronic diseases into HIV care and employing staff that matches the needs of older adults

I highlight how my attempts to 'give back,' and the various forms of engagements and commitments that resulted from it, shaped my relationships with actors in the field,…

Hidden People: Researching undocumented migration
Performing deservingness. Humanitarian health care provision for migrants in Germany
Fragile Fabric
This paper examines how undocumented Latin American migrants in Berlin manage to access therapy in the event of sickness despite their exclusion from the regular health care system in Germany. I argue that in order to receive medical attention, undocumented migrants rely on specific illegality knowledge, which, in turn, requires social capital, as information is acquired through informal social networks, mainly consisting of other Latin American …
