“You could hear their breathing slow down”
High rates of AIDS-related mortality and HIV incidence persist due to delayed antiretroviral therapy (ART) uptake and retention. We qualitatively assessed the feasibility and acceptability of "From Now On" (FNO) - a short video-based psychosocial support intervention to increase ART uptake and improve psychosocial well-being among men newly diagnosed with HIV in South Africa. In-depth interviews were conducted with men who were shown FNO during p…
Developing Pre-Service Teachers’ Pedagogical Content Knowledge for Reading for Pleasure
Across the UK, Reading for Pleasure (RfP) is included in national curricula, yet children’s engagement as readers appears to be declining. Equipping pre-service teachers with the knowledge to develop RfP pedagogy in their classrooms is vital. Previous studies have identified knowledge of diverse children’s literature as central to RfP pedagogy. However, data indicate that teachers and pre-service teachers rely on a narrow childhood canon. Further…

Gender norms and sexual violence among South African adolescents
Social norms, particularly those pertaining to gender equity, can shape attitudes and behaviors that contribute to adolescent sexual violence (SV). This study examines personal attitudes and perceived peer norms regarding gender equity and associations with perpetration of SV among 100 South Africans aged 13-17 in 2019. We assessed: (1) sexual activity and SV behaviors and (2) personal attitudes and perceived peer norms around gender equity. Desc…
Correcting misperceived norms
South Africa is a critical hotspot in the global fight against sexual violence and HIV. We report on the development of Schools Championing Safe South Africa , a behavioural intervention that engages adolescent boys and their peers to identify and address misperceived norms related to these epidemics within the school setting. A social norms survey conducted among 1,431 students aged 13-19 at 3 high schools guided the development of intervention …

Schools Championing Safe South Africa is an intervention to prevent sexual violence perpetration and HIV/STI risk behavior among teenage boys, focusing on correcting misperceived social norms regarding risk behavior and engaging boys, teachers and peers in school. We tested its acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy in a pilot RCT (N = 282). 99% of intervention boys reported high satisfaction with content, format, and delivery. Ther…

I am because you are’
African refugee women resettled in the United States are exposed to multiple risk factors for poor mental health. Currently, no comprehensive framework exists on which to guide mental health interventions specific to this population. Through a community-based participatory research partnership, we interviewed N = 15 resettled African refugees living in Rhode Island. Here we (1) describe how meanings of mental health within the African refugee com…
I Have to Stand Up on My Own and Do the Best I Can for My Kids”a
In recent years, significant progress has been made in treatment access for women living with HIV (WLHIV). For example, option B+, which requires that all pregnant persons who test positive for HIV start on antiretroviral treatment, has been instrumental in reducing the risk of vertical transmission. For birthing individuals who have a low HIV viral load, there is a minimized risk of vertical transmission during breastfeeding. However, an alarmin…
Peer-to-Peer Chain Recruitment for Enrolling Young South African Women into an HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Intervention Study
Bynum, Gender, and the Western Christian Middle Ages
As a contribution to the Common Knowledge symposium "Caroline Walker Bynum across the Disciplines," this article argues that Bynum's work on gender has overturned bedrock interpretations of the religious significance of the widespread ascetic practices of the Western Christian Middle Ages. Bynum's claim has been that medieval asceticism is best understood not as an upshot of dualism - of the soul and body understood as in opposition - but as "an …
Social resources, resilience, and sexual health among South African adolescent girls and young women
Socioecological factors, including social resources, influence South African adolescent girls' and young women's sexual health. Few studies have explored how these multi-level social factors relate to both resilience and sexual health in this community. This study examines if social resources mediate associations between resilience and two sexual health outcomes. A weighted-sample of 7,237 South African girls and young women (aged 15-24 years) co…
Stifled Screams
The aim of this study was to explore the lived experience of survivors of sexual harassment, as well as reportage factors and outcomes, psychosocial sequelae, and how survivors coped in first-generation higher-education institutions in Southwestern Nigeria. A qualitative exploration of the experience of 12 (11 females and 1 male) participants using in-depth interviews was conducted. The findings were grouped into four broad themes, namely: (i) ex…
Women’s Perceptions of HIV- and Sexuality-Related Stigma in Relation to PrEP
From resilient girls to (more) resilient women
Adolescence and emerging adulthood are times of heightened adversity for South African girls and young women due to structural disadvantage. In this mixed-methods study, we explored lived experiences of resilience among a sample of 377 South African girls and young women (15-24 years) who completed a quantitative cross-sectional survey that included a validated measure of resilience. Quantitative analyses included descriptive statistics and an in…

Systematic review of research focused on pregnant and postpartum women living with HIV
Historically, maternal HIV research has focused on prevention of mother‐to‐child transmission and child outcomes, with little focus on the health outcomes of mothers. Over the course of the HIV epidemic, the approach to including pregnant women in research has shifted. The current landscape lends itself to reviewing the public health ethics of this research. This systematic review aims to identify ethical barriers and considerations for including…
“I did not plan ... that is what hurts”
Unintended pregnancy impacts many young women in South Africa, and rates of consistent contraceptive use among this population are suboptimal. Limited empirical work has investigated reasons for inconsistency between pregnancy intention and contraceptive use behaviour with data collected during pregnancy. We explored pregnancy intentions and discordance between intentions and contraceptive use prior to conception among young pregnant women in Kwa…
Embodiment, agency, unmet need
Globally, high rates of unintended pregnancy occur despite widespread distribution of modern contraceptive methods, reflecting the complexity of individual contraceptive use. The concept of unmet need provides a framework for addressing the gap between women's desire to prevent pregnancy and the ability of health services to meet women's contraceptive needs. Through in-depth interviews in Khayelitsha, South Africa, we examine 14 young women's exp…
Sexual Prejudice and Comfort to Provide Services to Men Who Have Sex with Men Among HIV Healthcare Workers in Western Kenya
Understanding safe sex
In South Africa's HIV/AIDS epidemic, young people, especially women, are at high risk due to an apparent gap between awareness and practice. In repeated peer group discussions with girls aged 14-15 and boys aged 16-19, we explored influences on safe sex behaviour. Separate male and female safe sex paradigms emerged, with boys less likely to perceive themselves as 'at risk' and more likely to use condoms. Girls had not used condoms, would have pre…
Gender Role and Relationship Norms among Young Adults in South Africa
Men, Multiple Sexual Partners, and Young Adults’ Sexual Relationships
Life Histories, Reproductive Histories
Reproductive health has become a priority public health concern in recent years, although less attention has been paid to women's own reproductive health priorities. Qualitative research in this area is important in elucidating an understanding of women's roles in both social and biological reproduction, and in gaining access to women's perceptions of their own reproductive health. In this study, we examined rural Zulu women's perspectives on rep…
Young People's Sexual Partnerships in KwaZulu‐Natal, South Africa
Certain sexual partnering practices, such as multiple, concurrent, or age‐discrepant partnerships, are known to increase HIV risk. Yet the underlying dynamics of young people's relationships are less clearly understood. Using household survey and qualitative data, this study examines partnership dynamics and characteristics in the context of HIV risk, including number of partners, age differences, partnership duration and concurrency, and frequen…

TheMpondombiliProject
Unintended pregnancy, HIV and other sexually transmitted infections are major threats to the health of South African youth. Gendered social norms make it difficult for young women to negotiate safer sex, and sexual coercion and violence are prevalent. Sexual activity among adolescents is influenced strongly by conservative social norms, which favour abstinence. In reality, most young people are sexually active by the end of the teen years. Girls’…

The problem or the solution? Early fertility and parenthood in the transition to adulthood in Khayelitsha, South Africa
In South Africa, early fertility and teenage pregnancy have become a central focus of both political and public health concern. In this article, we explore the ways that young men and women have used their fertility and performance of parenthood to navigate the transition from childhood to adulthood. For these young people, the persistent inequities related to income poverty, inadequate education, lack of employment opportunities and a high burde…
Challenges to conducting adolescent HIV prevention services research with court-involved youth
The Cape Town boyfriend and the Joburg boyfriend
In South Africa, young people's "multiple" or "concurrent" partnerships have been increasingly prominent in public health discourses - as drivers of HIV transmission. Multiple partnerships are typically framed in moralising, negative terms and depicted primarily as male-driven, within a broader framework of women's vulnerability and use of sex for survival and material gain. Based on ethnographic fieldwork with adolescents and young adults in Kha…
I Am Wholly Your Own
When William James long ago characterized the God of the thirteenth-century Cistercian cloister of Helfta, in Saxony, as "full of partiality for his individual favorites," he might have illustrated his claim with any number of passages from three of the surviving works composed by the nuns of Helfta, theBook of Special Grace, associated with Mechtild of Hackeborn (1241-ca. 1298/99), theHerald of Divine Love, associated with Gertrude of Helfta (12…
Barriers to implementing South Africa's Termination of Pregnancy Act in rural KwaZulu/Natal
INTRODUCTION: South Africa's Termination of Pregnancy Act, the most liberal abortion law in Africa, took effect early in 1997. In spite of the anticipated benefits to women's health, however, public reaction has been mixed. In the country's most populous province, KwaZulu/Natal, opposition is strong and most health care providers have refused to provide the service. This study explored attitudes and beliefs about abortion and the Termination of P…

The social dynamics of adolescent risk for HIV
ABIGAIL HARRISON discusses research into how social factors put youth in rural KwaZulu-Natal at risk of HIV, and how this research was used to design an intervention
An Eighteenth-Century Detachable Pocket and Baby's Cap, Found Concealed in a Wall Cavity
En 1994, pendant les travaux de renovation d'une maison du XVIIIe siecle en Angleterre, une collection d'objets divers furent decouverts dans la cavite d'un mur. Parmi les pieces de monnaie et documents figuraient deux pieces de textiles : un bonnet d'enfant en lin et une poche amovible. Ces deux objets sont ici analyses, leur composition, la nature du textile utilise et la determination de la signification et de l'utilisation de ces objets dans …
Gender dynamics in the primary sexual relationships of young rural South African women and men
A substantial body of South African research describes the importance of gender dynamics within sexual relationships as factors underlying HIV risk, yet we know little about these factors among young adults-a group at exceptionally high risk of infection. Our primary objective was to explore the ways that young adult men and women interpret and enact gender roles within their established primary partnerships, and how these dynamics influence sexu…

Body Concepts
In a society overwhelmed by HIV/AIDS, a particularly compelling public health question in South Africa is how young people integrate the scientific discourse of HIV/AIDS and pregnancy/contraception with lay beliefs and practices. Our objective was to conduct a preliminary exploration of concepts and related beliefs among young women and men regarding the body, disease and pregnancy. In-depth interviews were conducted with 50 sexually active stude…
Spirituality and Mysticism
Hidden Love
In KwaZulu/Natal, South Africa, the social construction of young people's sexuality reflects both a complex historical process of cultural and religious integration, as well as the contemporary resurgence of 'traditionalism'. How do young people interpret these factors to construct and give meaning to their own sexualities? This multi-method qualitative study examined sexuality and relationship formation among sexually experienced young people ag…

Teachers' attitudes towards adolescent sexuality and life skills education in rural South Africa
This study investigated the attitudes of 43 teachers and school administrators towards sex education, young people's sexuality and their communities in 19 secondary schools in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, and how these attitudes affect school-based HIV prevention and sex education. In interviews, teachers expressed judgemental attitudes towards young people's sexuality and pregnant students, and focused on girls' perceived irresponsible beh…
Re-focusing the Gender Lens
Management of non-marital fertility in two South African communities
In this analysis, we draw on qualitative data to examine the management of non-marital fertility among young women in two rural, Black communities situated in different provinces of South Africa: KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga. While the two communities share a history of economic and social disadvantage and limited access to the labour market, there are, nonetheless, distinctive features that are evident in the management of non-marital fertility.…

Ethical Issues in Adolescents' Sexual and Reproductive Health Research in N igeria
There is increasing interest in the need to address the ethical dilemmas related to the engagement of adolescents in sexual and reproductive health ( SRH ) research. Research projects, including those that address issues related to STI s and HIV , adverse pregnancy outcomes, violence, and mental health, must be designed and implemented to address the needs of adolescents. Decisions on when an individual has adequate capacity to give consent for r…
