It would have been easier for me to give up if I were alone”
Findings suggest both pathways of potential ICM effectiveness and impact and sustainability shortfalls, calling for larger-scale evaluation and complementary structural approaches, such as those bolstering FSW social cohesion and tackling socio-economic barriers
Feasibility of implementing viral hepatitis services into a correctional service facility in Cape Town, South Africa
There was a notable viral hepatitis burden among people in this correctional centre and integration of viral hepatitis services into the existing HIV services was acceptable and feasible. Further efforts to sustain and expand access to viral hepatitis services in South African correctional centres could catalyse national viral hepatitis elimination efforts
ART coverage and viral suppression among female sex workers living with HIV in eThekwini, South Africa
In South Africa >60% of female sex workers (FSW) are living with HIV, the majority of whom are not virally suppressed. Identifying multi-level determinants of viral suppression is central to developing implementation strategies to promote retention in HIV care and viral suppression among FSW with unmet treatment needs. Adult cisgender FSW living with HIV for ≥6 months, conducting sex work as their primary source of income, and residing in Durban …
Giving adolescent girls and young women a foothold
This paper focused on the prevention of HIV transmission for adolescent girls and young women (AGYW), through a layered approach which included economic strengthening as a core strategy, especially for the most vulnerable. Based on multi-year data in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, we assessed the outcomes of an economic strengthening model developed by TB HIV Care (THC) in the Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored and Safe (DREAMS) …
A decade of PrEP
After nearly a decade of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) rollout in sub-Saharan Africa, there has been limited study of PrEP messaging in news media. We selected twenty South African newspapers with the highest circulation volumes to retrieve articles published in 2012–2021 mentioning PrEP (N = 249). Using inductive content analysis, we developed a structured codebook to characterise PrEP-related content and sentiments, as well as their evolu…
Evaluating the vertical HIV transmission risks among South African female sex workers; have we forgotten PMTCT in their HIV programming
These findings show significant gaps in engagement in the PMTCT cascades for FSW, evidenced by sub-optimal uptake of HIV prevention and treatment in the peri/post-natal periods and insufficient prevention of unintended pregnancies among FSW living with HIV. These gaps result in elevated risks for vertical transmission among FSW and the need for PMTCT services within FSW programs
Female Sex Workers’ Experiences Selling Sex during Pregnancy and Post‐Delivery in South Africa
Nearly 75 percent of female sex workers (FSWs) in Port Elizabeth, South Africa are mothers, many of whom engage in sex work during pregnancy or after delivery. We conducted in‐depth interviews with 22 postpartum and 8 pregnant FSWs in Port Elizabeth. Interview guides were used to probe women's experiences, challenges, and concerns about selling sex during pregnancy and post‐delivery in a high‐HIV‐prevalence context. Interviews were transcribed, t…
Characterizing the Patterns of HIV Disclosure to Clients Among South African Female Sex Workers in Port Elizabeth
South African TB nurses' experiences of provider-initiated HIV counseling and testing in the Eastern Cape Province
This study addressed factors that played a role in the limited but effective implementation of provider-initiated HIV counseling in tuberculosis (TB) clinics in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, as part of a clinical trial. The Eastern Cape is a region with some of the highest TB and HIV rates in the world. The parent study was a pragmatic, cluster-randomized trial designed to measure the impact of provider-initiated ("opt-out") counseling…
The role of pregnancy intention in HIV prevention in South Africa
Mother-to-child transmission is a continuing source of new HIV infections in South Africa. The paper posits that insight into the socio-cultural, behavioural, environmental and economic factors that sustain the HIV epidemic is as important as understanding the biological causes of the disease when planning and implementing interventions to prevent and reduce perinatal transmission. Furthermore, understanding the pregnancy intentions of individual…
Introduction of voluntary counselling and rapid testing for HIV in rural South Africa
Expanding access to voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) for HIV is an important first step in the development of a comprehensive package of HIV services. This article describes the introduction of VCT among five primary health care (PHC) facilities in a rural South African setting, alongside a multidimensional impact assessment as part of a national pilot programme. A baseline review of services demonstrated low levels of VCT, which were pred…
