Harnessing the social capital of rural communities for adolescent and youth biosocial HIV prevention
Novel interventions are required to reduce risky sexual behavior among adolescents and young people (AYP). We interviewed a purposive sample comprising AYP residing in the Africa Health Research Institute’s surveillance area and individuals involved in delivering a community-based peer navigator support intervention. Interviews were conducted in isiZulu, transcribed and translated into English for thematic analysis. We found that community resili…

“It felt like a weight was being taken off of my shoulders”
In South Africa, many young people relocate from rural to urban areas for education, attending day schools while residing in rented accommodation. Migration exposes them to risk, including alcohol and drug abuse, sexual exploitation and violence. We developed and assessed a support system for young migrants, aged 14-24 in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Five trained peer navigators conducted needs assessments for 283 young internal migrants between …
Finding knowledge
Identification of candidacy for SRH information in this setting was largely ad-hoc, but once aware of need, youth were able to identify and discriminate between multiple information sources. However, this information landscape was strongly shaped by formal provider and parent views of what youth should know and do, and peer sources limited own knowledge. Future interventions could address concerns at various points on the candidacy journey
Adaptation and pre-test of a shortened Stepping Stones and Creating Futures intervention focused on HIV for young men in rural South Africa

We sought to address this through adapting an evidence-based intervention, Stepping Stones and Creating Futures (SSCF), to strengthen its HIV content and provide a more scalable (shorter) intervention in rural South Africa. We then conducted a mixed methods pre-test of the intervention among young men aged 18–35 years. To adapt SSCF, we reviewed the current…
