Abstract

In South Africa adolescent girls have the highest HIV incidence of any sex or age cohort. Scalable HIV-prevention interventions targeting this group are critical for epidemic control. Reaching 12.2 million children, the Child Support Grant mitigates the socio-structural drivers of HIV risk. This qualitative study of eight adolescents and their caregivers in Westbury, Johannesburg, explored how caregiving increases protective potential. ‘Caregiving’ enhanced the HIV risk-reduction benefits of ‘cash’ when characterised by substantial positive caregiver-adolescent involvement and adequate levels of control and consistency. Results underpin the value of social protection as an HIV-prevention modality and endorse investment in caregiver support programmes.
现金转移支付和照顾者:共同努力减少南非约翰内斯堡少女的脆弱性和艾滋病毒风险
在南非,少女是所有性别或年龄组中艾滋病毒发病率最高的。针对这一群体的可扩展艾滋病毒预防干预措施对流行病控制至关重要。儿童支助赠款惠及1220万儿童,减轻了艾滋病毒风险的社会结构驱动因素。这项定性研究对约翰内斯堡韦斯特伯里的八名青少年和他们的照顾者进行了研究,探讨了照顾如何增加保护潜力。当“照顾”的特点是大量积极的照顾者-青少年参与以及适当的控制和一致性时,“照顾”增强了“现金”减少艾滋病毒风险的好处。结果证实了社会保护作为一种艾滋病毒预防方式的价值,并支持对照顾者支持规划的投资。
