Alcohol Use and the Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Continuum of Care Among Men in Rural South Africa
Despite freely available oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), HIV incidence among young men in South Africa remains high. This study explores the impact of alcohol use on PrEP initiation and continuation among South African men. We performed a secondary data analysis from a trial involving men aged 16-29, randomly selected in KwaZulu-Natal. Participants were referred to sexual health services, and those who were HIV negative and sexually act…
Convergence of HIV and non-communicable disease epidemics
INTRODUCTION: As people living with HIV (PLHIV) are experiencing longer survival, the co-occurrence of HIV and non-communicable diseases has become a public health priority. In response to this emerging challenge, we aimed to characterise the spatial structure of convergence of chronic health conditions in an HIV hyperendemic community in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, we used data from a comprehensive popula…
Identifying sex-specific anthropometric measures and thresholds for dysglycemia screening in an HIV-endemic rural South African population
Valid screening and diagnostic algorithms are needed to achieve 2030 targets proposed by the WHO’s Global Diabetes Compact . We explored anthropometric thresholds to optimally screen and refer individuals for diabetes testing in rural South Africa. We evaluated screening thresholds for waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), and waist-hip ratio (WHR) to detect dysglycemia based on a glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) ≥6.5% among adults in a pop…
