Motivations and Barriers to Sustained PrEP Use Among Men in Buffalo City Metro, South Africa
Men in sub-Saharan Africa experience disproportionately poor HIV outcomes, yet their engagement with HIV prevention services remains limited. Although oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an effective HIV prevention strategy, relatively little research has examined the factors that support men’s sustained use of PrEP after initiation. We conducted a qualitative sub-study among men who initiated PrEP through a community-based HIV prevention pro…
Navigating Masculinities
South African men remain disproportionately affected by tuberculosis (TB) and HIV, with social norms around masculinity often hindering care-seeking and medication adherence. This study investigates how Coach Mpilo, a peer mentoring intervention led by men who are TB survivors or living openly with HIV, engages concepts of masculinity to improve health outcomes among men in TB/HIV care. We conducted in-depth qualitative interviews with male peer …
“I believe in my ancestors, and I participate and believe
Background: Sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals in South Africa's Eastern Cape face dual challenges navigating progressive constitutional protections alongside persistent cultural conservatism. Traditional Xhosa practices, including initiation schools (Ulwaluko) and ceremonial rituals, enforce rigid gender roles that conflict with SGM identities. With HIV prevalence reaching 49.5 % among men who have sex with men yet only 25.7 % achievin…
“It’s being uncomfortable for who you are, because I think HIV is part of me … ”
Despite expanded antiretroviral therapy access since 2006 in South Africa, gay, bisexual and men who have sex with men (GBMSM) living with HIV face challenges navigating status-sharing risks with limited skills. Stigma, isolation and generational disparities further shape adherence and psychosocial needs across age groups. The Speaking Out and Allying Relationships (SOAR) intervention was designed to strengthen coping and disclosure skills with p…
I have a child i need to live for’
Existing research highlights TB's economic and social stigma burdens and impacts behavior in households, but virtually unexplored is the dynamics of TB and parenthood. This qualitative study examines the interplay between TB diagnosis and treatment, and parenting experiences, focusing on the intersections of individual agency, societal expectations, and access to resources. From March 2021 to January 2022, we conducted in-depth interviews with 98…
Patient-provider communication and the role of PrEP coordinators
Despite the proven effectiveness of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in preventing HIV infection, significant disparities in its uptake persist, particularly among HIV priority populations in Arizona, USA. Patient-provider communication plays a vital role in facilitating PrEP access, especially when discussing sexuality and HIV-related risk behaviour. To explore how communication dynamics shape HIV prevention services, we conducted 24 semi-structu…
Emotions, Risks, and Experiences During Sex
Alcohol use increases the likelihood of condomless sex, which is prevalent among college students and associated with detrimental health consequences. Both theoretical and empirical evidence have suggested that the perceived effects of alcohol on sex (i.e. sex-related alcohol expectancies [AE]) play a role in the association between alcohol and condomless sex; however, this association among college students has been inconsistent. Therefore, this…
Exploring sexual minority men’s perspectives and benefits of long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy in South Africa
In South Africa, sexual minority men (SMM) face high HIV rates and challenges with antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence, hindering viral suppression. Factors, such as non-disclosure, stigma, and partner dynamics, complicate adherence. Long-acting ART options, like injectables, could help address these challenges; however, their acceptability among SMM in South Africa remains unclear. Between April and June 2024, qualitative interviews were cond…

Study-to-Clinic Transition and Daily Oral PrEP Access Experiences Among Agyw in Eastern Cape, South Africa
Ultimately, You Realize You’re on Your Own”
An estimated one in three gay and bisexual (GB) male couples receive a prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis over their life course with limited understanding of the impacts on their relationships. Psychological distress related to PCa diagnosis and treatment-related side effects have been shown to disrupt established GB partnership dynamics. Communication barriers often develop within GB relationships affected by PCa, further exacerbating couple tensi…
What motivated men to start PrEP? A cross-section of men starting PrEP in Buffalo city municipality, South Africa
Self-perceived risk for HIV acquisition was a major facilitator for men's PrEP initiation. Although men expressed positive perceptions of PrEP users, they noted that HIV testing may be a barrier to PrEP initiation. Finally, men recommended convenient access points to facilitate PrEP initiation and sustained use. Gender-responsive interventions tailored to men's needs, wants, and voices will facilitate their uptake of HIV prevention services, and …
Factors influencing adolescent girls and young women’s uptake of community-based PrEP services following home-based HIV testing in Eastern Cape, South Africa
Masculinity, resources, and retention in care
Healthcare provider knowledge and attitudes about pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in pregnancy in Cape Town, South Africa
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in pregnancy can reduce HIV incidence and vertical transmission. Healthcare providers (HCPs) play a critical role in delivering PrEP in antenatal care but little is known about HCP knowledge and attitudes about PrEP in pregnancy. We conducted a qualitative study in two healthcare facilities to assess HCPs' PrEP knowledge and perspectives relating to HIV prevention in pregnant women. Between January-March'19, we adm…
The role of trust and health literacy in nurse-delivered point-of-care STI testing for pregnant women living with HIV, Tshwane District, South Africa
We recommend implementing patient health literacy programmes as part of POC services to support women in remembering and disclosing their specific STI diagnosis to sexual partners, which may facilitate partner treatment uptake and thus decrease the risk of re-infection

“Booze is the main factor that got me where I am today”
Excessive alcohol consumption has been shown to increase HIV risk for men who have sex with men (MSM) and compromise HIV prevention behaviors. However, there is limited contextual understanding of alcohol use for MSM in rural sub-Saharan African settings, which can inform and direct HIV interventions. Applying an adaptation of PhotoVoice, we worked with 35 HIV-positive MSM who created photo-essays about alcohol and HIV in Mpumalanga. A semi-struc…
Hayek in the cloud
Smart cities theory and policy emphasizes the new—new cities, new technologies, and new possibilities of efficiency, innovation, and optimization. While some of the technological details of smart cities are indeed new, the underlying philosophy involves economic and policy traditions built in the mid-20th century—which were in turn premised on 19th-century epistemological revolutions. In this paper, we suggest that today’s Silicon Valley smart-ci…
