Factors associated with the take-up of voluntary medical male circumcision amongst learners in rural KwaZulu-Natal
Voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) is an integral part of South Africa's HIV prevention programme. School-going males, in particular, are considered a cost-effective target population. However, ambitious policy targets have not been achieved due to the plateau in demand for VMMC. This study documents the factors influencing demand for VMMC amongst school-going males. Data were collected from 750 learners (251 circumcised and 499 uncircumc…
Young women’s life experiences and perceptions of sexual and reproductive health in rural KwaZulu-Natal South Africa
Women in South Africa bear a disproportionate burden of the HIV epidemic. Female-controlled HIV prevention methods offer promising interventions to reduce this burden but cannot be effectively employed without a better understanding of young women's perceptions of their sexual and reproductive health. This study examines social, environmental and cultural factors contributing to young women's perceptions of, and experiences with, sexual and repro…
Passive Suicidal Ideation and Community Mental Health Resources in South Africa
Strengthening HIV surveillance in the antiretroviral therapy era
The results from HIPSS will provide critical data regarding HIV prevalence and incidence in this community and will establish whether HIV prevention and treatment efforts in a "real world", non-trial setting have an impact on HIV incidence at a population level. Importantly, the study design and methods will inform future methods for HIV surveillance
HIV-Positive Status Disclosure in Patients in Care in Rural South Africa
Barriers and facilitators to the uptake of voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) among adolescent boys in KwaZulu–Natal, South Africa
Epidemiological modelling has concluded that if voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) is scaled up in high HIV prevalence settings it would lead to a significant reduction in HIV incidence rates. Following the adoption of this evidence by the WHO, South Africa has embarked on an ambitious VMMC programme. However, South Africa still falls short of meeting VMMC targets, particularly in KwaZulu-Natal, the epicentre of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. A q…

HIV prevalence among high school learners - opportunities for schools-based HIV testing programmes and sexual reproductive health services
The high HIV prevalence in female learners underscores the importance of sexual reproductive health and schools-based HIV testing programs as an important gateway to prevention and treatment services
HIV Incidence in Young Girls in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa-Public Health Imperative for Their Inclusion in HIV Biomedical Intervention Trials
Effectiveness and Safety of Tenofovir Gel, an Antiretroviral Microbicide, for the Prevention of HIV Infection in Women
Vaginal Gel Versus HIV HIV prevention technologies for women are urgently needed, especially in sub-Saharan Africa where young women bear the greatest burden of the HIV epidemic. Abdool Karim et al. (p. 1168 ; published online 19 July) present the results of the CAPRISA 004 randomized control trial. The nearly 3-year-long trial, conducted in urban and rural South African women, tested the efficacy of a vaginal gel containing the antiretroviral dr…
The influence of Aids stigma and discrimination and social cohesion on HIV testing and willingness to disclose HIV in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
This study aims to understand the influence of AIDS stigma and discrimination, and social cohesion to HIV testing, and willingness to disclose an HIV status. A cross-sectional, interviewer administered survey (N=594) was conducted. Independent sample t-tests explored the mean differences between sex and age groups on stigma, discrimination, and social cohesion measurement. Logistic regression models were fitted with the above independent variable…
Young People's Sexual Partnerships in KwaZulu‐Natal, South Africa
Certain sexual partnering practices, such as multiple, concurrent, or age‐discrepant partnerships, are known to increase HIV risk. Yet the underlying dynamics of young people's relationships are less clearly understood. Using household survey and qualitative data, this study examines partnership dynamics and characteristics in the context of HIV risk, including number of partners, age differences, partnership duration and concurrency, and frequen…

The authors argue that there have been few systematic attempts to determine the effectiveness of community engagement in research.
