Structural characteristics of alcohol venues are associated with testing positive for HIV in rural Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa
The HIV epidemic in South Africa is one of the largest globally, with a 20% prevalence among adults. The South African National Strategic Plan recognizes the need to address social and structural barriers to HIV prevention, as well as behavioral drivers, including alcohol abuse. Nested within a rural community-based HIV testing initiative, including at alcohol venues (AVs), we explored whether structural features of AVs were associated with HIV s…
Evaluating community knowledge of tuberculosis preventive therapy in rural South Africa
Rural South African community members demonstrated poor TB knowledge. Community members with good knowledge of TB were also aware of TPT. Greater community-level public health education and individual-level counseling efforts are needed to facilitate TPT expansion and implementation
Community health workers can be trained to identify patients eligible for tuberculosis preventive therapy, but encounter barriers to programme implementation in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide, ranking as the leading cause of death from infectious disease, above HIV and AIDS. South Africa has the sixth highest TB incidence rate in the world and the world's largest HIV epidemic. This study sought to demonstrate the feasibility of community health workers (CHWs) contributing to the implementation of tuberculosis preventive therapy (TPT) among people living with HIV and…
Community-based referral for tuberculosis preventive therapy is effective for treatment completion
Expansion of tuberculous preventive therapy (TPT) is essential to curb TB incidence and mortality among people with HIV (PWH), yet implementation has been slow. Innovative strategies to operationalize TPT are urgently needed. Here we present an evaluation of community-based identification and referral of PWH on completion of a six-month course of isoniazid in a highly prevalent region in rural South Africa. Using a community-based TB/HIV intensiv…
Factors associated with low tuberculosis preventive therapy prescription rates among health care workers in rural South Africa
BACKGROUND: Despite extensive rollout of tuberculosis preventive therapy (TPT) in South Africa to reduce the incidence of tuberculosis among people living with HIV (PWH), rates of initiation and completion have remained suboptimal. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify factors associated with low TPT prescription rates among health care workers (HCWs) in rural South Africa. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted using an anonymous 39-it…
Mobility and structural barriers in rural South Africa contribute to loss to follow up from HIV care
Retention in HIV care is crucial to sustaining viral load suppression, and reducing HIV transmission, yet loss to follow-up (LTFU) in South Africa remains substantial. We conducted a mixed methods evaluation in rural South Africa to characterize ART disengagement in neglected rural settings. Using convenience sampling, surveys were completed by 102 PLWH who disengaged from ART (minimum 90 days) and subsequently resumed care. A subset (n = 60) com…
Structural barriers to implementing recommended tuberculosis preventive treatment in primary care clinics in rural South Africa
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends tuberculosis preventive treatment (TPT) in people with HIV (PWH), yet implementation remains poor, especially in rural communities. We examined factors influencing TPT initiation in PWH on antiretroviral therapy (ART) in rural South Africa using the Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services (PARiHS) framework to identify contextual factors and facilitation strategies to successfu…

PrEP should be for men only’
In rural South Africa, young heterosexual men acknowledged high HIV-risk behaviour, expressed concern about acquiring HIV, and recognised the value of PrEP. Men were often not supportive of their female partners taking PrEP. Implementing HIV prevention services needs to incorporate young men's perspectives and may require gender-specific interventions, including addressing stigma, differentiated service delivery models such as community-based ser…
“It’s about my life”
Despite the recent rollout of Isoniazid Preventive Therapy (IPT) to prevent TB in people living with HIV in South Africa, adherence and completion rates are low. To explore barriers to IPT completion in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, we conducted individual semi-structured interviews among 30 HIV patients who had completed or defaulted IPT. Interview transcripts were analyzed according to the framework method of qualitative analysis. Facilita…
Antiretroviral therapy initiation and adherence in rural South Africa
South Africa has the largest global HIV/AIDS epidemic, but barriers along the HIV care continuum prevent patients from initiating and adhering to antiretroviral therapy (ART). To qualitatively explore reasons for poor ART initiation and adherence rates from the unique perspective of community health workers (CHWs), we conducted focus groups during May-August 2014 with 21 CHWs in rural Msinga, KwaZulu-Natal. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcr…
Stressors and Resources of Caregivers of Patients With Incurable Progressive Illness in Sub-Saharan Africa
Family caregivers are central to palliative care in sub-Saharan Africa. Yet although supporting caregivers requires a comprehensive understanding of caregiver burden, there has been little research into this topic in Africa. Using the Stress Process Model to investigate the burden experienced by caregivers in South Africa and Uganda, we interviewed 37 caregivers and analyzed the data thematically. Caregivers' primary stressors related to day-to-d…
Preparing for highly active antiretroviral therapy rollout in rural South Africa
Following a controversial history and before South Africa started the world's largest highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) rollout, little was known about community-level information, motivation, and behavioral skills (IMB) regarding HAART in high-HIV-prevalence rural communities. The IMB model has been shown to predict behaviors that are associated with desirable HAART outcomes. We conducted an anonymous, cross-sectional "HAART-Felt Pros…
