  • Adherence to Oral HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis During Pregnancy and the Post-partum Period

    Open AccessNokubonga Khoza, Nondumiso Khoza et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2025

  • A mixed-methods study of resilience and return to school among adolescent mothers in South Africa

    Open AccessAllison K Groves, Luwam T Gebrekristos et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2021

    Up to two-thirds of South African adolescent mothers drop out of school, which increases their HIV risk and other poor health outcomes. Despite variability in adolescent mothers' schooling trajectories, we have a limited understanding of their re-enrollment in school following the life-changing circumstance of childbirth. In this paper, we draw on qualitative interviews ( n = 16) and quantitative surveys ( n = 109) with adolescent mothers (aged 1…

  • IPV victimization in pregnancy increases postpartum STI incidence among adolescent mothers in Durban, South Africa

    Luwam T Gebrekristos, Allison K Groves et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2020

    Women, and specifically, adolescents, are at high risk of HIV and STIs during the postpartum period. Biological and behavioral factors contribute to adolescents’ susceptibility. However, the influence of behavioral factors, like intimate partner violence (IPV), on postpartum STI acquisition has been understudied. The study’s purpose is to determine whether IPV victimization during pregnancy predicts incident STIs in the first 6 months postpartum.…

  • Intimate partner violence and postpartum emotional distress among South African women

    Open AccessH Luz Mcnaughton Reyes, Suzanne Maman et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2020

    In this study we aimed to identify factors that condition (i.e. buffer or exacerbate) the impact of exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) on postpartum emotional distress among South African women. Hypothesised buffering factors included: socioeconomic status, family social support, and religiosity. Hypothesised exacerbating factors included: baseline distress, HIV status, and childhood abuse. Longitudinal analyses examined interactions bet…

  • A longitudinal study of the relationship between intimate partner violence and postpartum unsafe sex among newly diagnosed HIV-infected South African women

    H Luz Mcnaughton Reyes, Suzanne Maman et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2019

    HIV-positive women who engage in postpartum unsafe sex are at risk for sexually transmitted infection (STI), unintended pregnancy, and secondary transmission of HIV to uninfected partners. One factor that may increase risk for postpartum unsafe sex among HIV-positive women is intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization; few studies, however, have examined this association. This longitudinal study examined whether patterns of psychological, phys…

  • HIV Positive Diagnosis During Pregnancy Increases Risk of IPV Postpartum Among Women with No History of IPV in Their Relationship

    Open AccessAllison K Groves, H Luz Mcnaughton Reyes et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2017

  • Legal knowledge, needs, and assistance seeking among HIV positive and negative women in Umlazi, South Africa

    Open AccessLauren M Hill, Lauren Hill et al.ARTICLEBMC International Health and…2016

    BACKGROUND: The rights of women and people living with HIV (PLHIV) are protected under South African law, yet there is a gap in the application of these laws. While there are numerous systemic and social barriers to women's and PLHIV's exercise of their legal rights and rights to access social services, there has been little effort to document these barriers as well as legal needs and knowledge in this context. METHODS: 1480 HIV-positive and HIV-…

  • Prevalence, Rates and Correlates of Intimate Partner Violence Among South African Women During Pregnancy and the Postpartum Period

  • Postpartum Family Planning Service Provision in Durban, South Africa

    Heather M Marlow, Suzanne Maman et al.ARTICLEHealth Care For Women International2013

    Researchers in Sub-Saharan Africa have found that health facility factors influence client contraceptive use. We sought to understand how client-provider interactions, discussions of side effects, and HIV status influence women's contraceptive use postpartum. We conducted in-depth interviews with eight HIV negative clients and six HIV positive clients in Zulu, and with five nurses in English. Interviews were translated and transcribed into Englis…

  • HIV+ women's narratives of non-disclosure

    Open AccessAllison K Groves, Suzanne Maman et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2012

    Increasing partner disclosure rates among HIV+ individuals is widely seen as an important public health strategy to reduce HIV transmission. One approach for encouraging disclosure is to emphasise individuals' moral responsibility to disclose their status to their partners. We use South Africa as a case study to draw attention to two problems with labelling non-disclosure as immoral. First, we argue that because women are tested for HIV at much h…

  • Fertility Intent and Contraceptive Decision-Making Among HIV Positive and Negative Antenatal Clinic Attendees in Durban, South Africa

    Heather M Marlow, Suzanne Maman et al.ARTICLEHealth Care For Women International2012

    We explored contraceptive decision-making among South African antenatal clinic attendees, fertility intent post-HIV diagnosis, and women's experiences at government health facilities. Data are from in-depth interviews with HIV negative and HIV positive women. We interviewed women in Zulu; interviews were recorded, transcribed, and translated. We conducted qualitative analyses of interviews. Women were the dominant decisionmakers about contracepti…

  • The complexity of consent

    Allison K Groves, Suzanne Maman et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2010

    Informed consent has historically been a cornerstone to ensuring autonomy during HIV testing. However, recent changes to global guidance on HIV testing have led to substantial debate on what policy provisions are necessary to ensure that consent remains meaningful in the context of testing. Despite disproportionate rates of testing during pregnancy, pregnant women's perspectives on the HIV testing process are underrepresented in the testing disco…
