A primary health care Re-Engineering approach to enhance PrEP initiation and adherence among high-risk, sexually active adolescents and young adults in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
This study explores the decentralisation of PrEP services through primary health care (PHC) re-engineering structures such as schools, pharmacies, youth zones, community halls, and mobile clinics to improve PrEP uptake and adherence among adolescents and young adults (AYAs) in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. In-depth interviews were conducted from August 2021 to July 2023 with 48 purposively selected participants from a cohort of 2,772 newly diagnos…
Assessing PrEP Initiation and Adherence Among High-Risk, Sexually Active Adolescents and Young Adults
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an effective HIV prevention strategy for high-risk populations, including adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) and adolescent boys and young men (ABYM). While various PrEP-delivery models exist in South Africa, little is known about optimizing PrEP-uptake and adherence for AGYW and ABYM. This study explored preferred and feasible PrEP care models to enhance initiation and adherence among at-risk adolescents a…
Can verbal autopsies be used on a national scale? Key findings and lessons from South Africa's national cause-of-death validation study
BACKGROUND: Verbal autopsy (VA), though imperfect, serves as a vital tool to determine cause-of-death, particularly for out-of-facility deaths, but challenges persist in integrating VA into Civil Registration and Vital Statistics systems. OBJECTIVE: To describe the challenges and successes of collecting a national sample of verbal autopsy interviews in South Africa to obtain the cause of death profile in 2017/18. METHODS: We recruited next of kin…
