Long-acting HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis integrated with community-based sexual and reproductive health services in South Africa (Lapis)
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier-NCT06250504. Registered: 01 February 2024
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…
Adaptation and pre-test of a shortened Stepping Stones and Creating Futures intervention focused on HIV for young men in rural South Africa
Men’s engagement in HIV prevention and treatment is suboptimal, including in 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…

Costs and economies of scale in repeated home-based HIV counselling and testing
Universal HIV testing is now recommended in generalised HIV epidemic settings. Although home-based HIV counselling and testing (HB-HCT) has been shown to be effective in achieving high levels of HIV status awareness, little is still known about the cost implications of universal and repeated HB-HCT. We estimated the costs of repeated HB-HCT and the scale economies that can be obtained when increasing the population coverage of the intervention. W…
Effect of peer-distributed HIV self-test kits on demand for biomedical HIV prevention in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Study objective We investigated two peer distribution models of HIV self-testing (HIVST) in HIV prevention demand creation compared with trained young community members (peer navigators). Methods We used restricted randomisation to allocate 24 peer navigator pairs (clusters) in KwaZulu-Natal 1:1:1: (1) standard of care ( SOC): peer navigators distributed clinic referrals, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and antiretroviral therapy (ART) informatio…

Local youth were able to use evidence to develop a contextually adapted peer-led intervention to deliver biosocial HIV prevention
Early ART Initiation Improves HIV Status Disclosure and Social Support in People Living with HIV, Linked to Care Within a Universal Test and Treat Program in Rural South Africa (ANRS 12249 TasP Trial)
Factors associated with antiretroviral treatment initiation amongst HIV-positive individuals linked to care within a universal test and treat programme
Prompt uptake of antiretroviral treatment (ART) is essential to ensure the success of universal test and treat (UTT) strategies to prevent HIV transmission in high-prevalence settings. We describe ART initiation rates and associated factors within an ongoing UTT cluster-randomized trial in rural South Africa. HIV-positive individuals were offered immediate ART in the intervention arm vs. national guidelines recommended initiation (CD4≤350 cells/m…
