A pilot cluster randomized controlled trial assessing uptake of PrEP and contraception in hair salons in South Africa
Clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT04222504. Registered 01-08-2020
Does type of antiretroviral therapy pick-up point influence 12-month virologic suppression in South Africa
We assessed the impact of community- versus clinic-based medication pick-up on rates of virologic suppression in an observational cohort of adults on ART enrolled in a decentralized antiretroviral therapy program (CCMDD) in South Africa. Participants either attended clinics where they were given the choice to pick up ART in community venues or traditional clinics, or clinics where this pathway was assigned. Among 1856 participants, 977 (53%) opte…
A Qualitative Assessment of South Africa’s Central Chronic Medication Dispensing and Distribution Program for Differentiated Antiretroviral Therapy Delivery in Umlazi Township, South Africa
South Africa's Central Chronic Medicine Dispensing and Distribution (CCMDD) program provides community-based medication delivery for clinically stable people with HIV (PWH) on antiretroviral therapy (ART). To evaluate CCMDD implementation, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 60 PWH enrolled in CCMDD for at least 12 months. In a directed content analysis based on the Practical, Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM) implem…
Symbolic and anticipated HIV stigma are associated with mental health and education in South Africa
HIV stigma continues to act as a barrier to HIV care in South Africa, necessitating further research on the intersections of socioeconomic factors and the anticipation and expression of stigma surrounding HIV. We measured the prevalence of HIV-related stigma and evaluated factors associated with symbolic and anticipated stigma in Umlazi Township, South Africa from 2013 to 2019, using a validated HIV stigma scale, before undergoing HIV testing. Am…
Food Insecurity at HIV Diagnosis Associated with Subsequent Viremia Amongst Adults Living with HIV in an Urban Township of South Africa
Experiences of participants in a decentralized antiretroviral therapy program in South Africa during the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic and associated restrictions could adversely affect long-term HIV care. We evaluated the experiences of people receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) through a decentralized delivery program in South Africa during the COVID-19 pandemic. We telephoned a random subsample of participants enrolled in a prospective cohort study in KwaZulu-Natal in April and May 2020 and administered a semi-structured telephone interview to consent…
Implementation of South Africa’s Central Chronic Medicine Dispensing and Distribution Program for HIV Treatment
Factors Influencing Rapid Antiretroviral Therapy Initiation at Four eThekwini Clinics, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Timely uptake of Antiretroviral therapy considerably improves the health of people living with the Human Immunodeficiency virus. We conducted a cross-sectional study of newly HIV diagnosed individuals in four clinics in eThekwini municipality, KwaZulu-Natal. Data was collected between June 2020 and December 2020. Participants completed an interviewer-administered questionnaire after HIV testing, on the day of HIV diagnosis. We evaluated factors i…
Medical Mistrust and Stigma Associated with Covid-19 Among People Living with HIV in South Africa
We evaluated COVID-19 stigma and medical mistrust among people living with HIV in South Africa. We conducted telephone interviews with participants in a prospective study of a decentralized antiretroviral therapy program. Scales assessing medical mistrust, conspiracy beliefs, anticipated and internalized stigma, and stereotypes specific to COVID-19 were adapted primarily from the HIV literature, with higher scores indicating more stigma or mistru…
Tuberculosis-related stigma among adults presenting for HIV testing in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Male sex and TB knowledge were associated with higher TB stigma in an outpatient HIV clinic in a South African township. Identifying risk factors associated with stigma will be important to guide stigma reduction interventions
