Impact of Universal Test and Treat (UTT) on anticipated stigma among patients newly diagnosed with HIV in Johannesburg, South Africa
Anticipated stigma—the fear that an HIV diagnosis and disclosure may lead to negative social consequences that undermine engagement in HIV care, even in the era of universal test-and-treat (UTT). This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of anticipated stigma and identify its predictors among newly HIV-diagnosed adults in Johannesburg, South Africa, where treatment is available. We conducted a cross-sectional survey among 652 adults (≥18 years)…
Experiences of Testing Negative or Positive for HIV in Malawi, South Africa, and Zambia
HIV testing services (HTS) increase HIV status awareness and serve as the gateway to prevention and treatment. Understanding clients' perspectives when accessing facility-based HTS is important to ensure comprehensive service provision, improve linkage to care, and ultimately contribute to better health outcomes. We surveyed a convenience sample of adults testing negative and positive at 42 health facilities in Malawi, South Africa, and Zambia fr…
Improving patient-centred counselling skills among lay healthcare workers in South Africa using the Thusa-Thuso motivational interviewing training and support program
We developed a motivational interviewing (MI) counselling training and support program for lay counsellors in South Africa–branded "Thusa-Thuso— helping you help ", commonly referred to as Thusa-Thuso. We present the results of a pilot study to determine the program’s impact on MI technical skills and qualitatively assess the feasibility of a training-of-trainers (TOT) scale-up strategy among counselling staff of non-governmental (NGO) support pa…
“I was scared dating… who would take me with my status?”—Living with HIV in the era of UTT and U = U
South Africa rolled out Universal Test-and-Treat (UTT) in 2016, extending treatment eligibility to all persons living with HIV (PLHIV). We sought to understand how PLHIV in Johannesburg, South Africa, interpret and experience their HIV status, five years into the UTT era. In May 2021, we conducted in-depth interviews (IDI) (N = 27) with adult (≥18 years) PLHIV referred by HIV counsellors at three peri-urban primary healthcare clinics. We also con…
HIV and ART related knowledge among newly diagnosed patients with HIV under the universal-test-and-treat (UTT) policy in Johannesburg, South Africa
South Africa implemented Universal Test & Treat (UTT) guidelines in September 2016. We examine HIV/ART knowledge among newly diagnosed from a prospective study enrolling newly diagnosed HIV-positive adults, under same-day ART policy, at four primary health clinics in Johannesburg, South Africa. We describe factors associated with high HIV/ART related knowledge score among newly diagnosed patients using Poisson regression. We included 652 HIV posi…
Using intervention mapping in motivational interviewing training to improve ART uptake in Gauteng, South Africa
In South Africa, lay HIV counsellors are at the forefront of many HIV-related behavioural interventions. However, they have limited formal counselling training and little ongoing in-service support, leading to considerable variability in approaches to counselling. We describe the use of Intervention Mapping to develop a motivational interviewing counselling training and support program, titled "Thusa-Thuso - helping you help", for lay HIV counsel…
Understanding the Reasons for Deferring ART Among Patients Diagnosed Under the Same-Day-ART Policy in Johannesburg, South Africa
We aimed to examine the correlates of antiretroviral therapy (ART) deferral to inform ART demand creation and retention interventions for patients diagnosed with HIV during the Universal Test and Treat (UTT) policy in South Africa. We conducted a cohort study enrolling newly diagnosed HIV-positive adults (≥ 18 years), at four primary healthcare clinics in Johannesburg between October 2017 and August 2018. Patients were interviewed immediately aft…
