  • Factors influencing uptake of HIV care and treatment among children in South Africa – a qualitative study of caregivers and clinic staff

    A D Yeap, Alicia Yeap et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2010

    Despite antiretroviral therapy rollout in South Africa, fewer children than expected are accessing HIV care services. Our objectives were to describe barriers and facilitators of uptake of HIV care among children. Our study involved six private-sector clinics which provide HIV care free-of-charge in and around Gauteng province, South Africa. In-depth interviews were conducted in July 2008 with 21 caregivers of HIV-infected children attending thes…

  • Establishing a workplace antiretroviral therapy programme in South Africa

    Salome Charalambous, Anne D Grant et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2007

    Ways to expand access to antiretroviral treatment (ART) in low income settings are being sought. We describe an HIV care programme including ART in an industrial setting in South Africa. The programme uses guidelines derived from local and international best practice. The training component aims to build capacity among health care staff. Nurses and doctors are supported by experienced HIV clinicians through telephone consultation and site visits.…

  • Evaluation of antiretroviral therapy (ART)-related counselling in a workplace-based ART implementation programme, South Africa

    A L Stenson, Amy Stenson et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2005

    Counselling about antiretroviral therapy (ART) is thought important to prepare patients for treatment and enhance adherence. A workplace-based HIV care programme in South Africa instituted a three-step ART counselling protocol with guidelines prompting issues to be covered at each step. We carried out an early evaluation of ART counselling to determine whether patients understood key information about ART, and the perceptions that patients and he…

  • Feasibility and acceptability of a specialist clinical service for HIV-infected mineworkers in South Africa

    Salome Charalambous, Anne D Grant et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2004

    Occupational settings offer an ideal opportunity to provide preventive health services for HIV-infected workers. A specialized clinic was established in a mining hospital in the Free State, South Africa, with the primary aim of delivering preventive therapy such as isoniazid to those at high risk of tuberculosis (individuals with HIV infection or silicosis), and cotrimoxazole to those at highest risk for opportunistic infections. The clinic desig…

  • Attitudes to HIV voluntary counselling and testing among mineworkers in South Africa

    John H Day, Kikuko Miyamura et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2003

    We conducted a study to identify attitudes that influence uptake of HIV voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) amongst gold mine workers in South Africa; 105 healthy men were interviewed. The level of basic knowledge of HIV was high, but reported awareness of the extent of HIV infection in the workforce and perceived personal risk of HIV infection was low. Health issues were considered the most important indication for HIV testing and one-third …

  • Use of Unaids tools to evaluate HIV voluntary counselling and testing services for mineworkers in South Africa

    S K Ginwalla, Anne D Grant et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2002

    HIV voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) is now an integral part of many HIV care and control programmes. However, very little work has been done to assess the quality of VCT services. An evaluation of VCT services for mineworkers in Welkom, South Africa was conducted to assess client and counsellor satisfaction, the quality of the services and to identify barriers to uptake of VCT. A cross-sectional survey was carried out using tools develope…
