In 2019, YLWH in a large HIV clinic in Botswana were screened using the Generalized Anxiety Scale-7 (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) in a pilot standard-of-care screening programme. Two-way ANOVA was used to describe the effects of age group (12-<16, 16-<20 and 20-25 years old) and sex on GAD-7 and PHQ-9 scores. Chi-square statistics were used to compare characteristics of YLWH with and without potential suicidality/self-harm symptoms based on question 9 in the PHQ-9. Among 1 469 YLWH, 33.1%, 44.3% and 15.0% had anxiety, depression and potential suicidality/self-harm symptoms respectively. YLWH of 20-25 years old and 16-<20 years old had higher GAD-7 scores compared to 12-<16-year-olds (p = 0.014 and p = <0.001 respectively). Female YLWH of 20-25 years old had higher PHQ-9 scores compared to 12-<16-year-olds (p = 0.002). There were no other sex-age dynamics that were statistically significant. Female YLWH endorsed more thoughts of suicidality/self-harm than males (17% versus 13%, p = 0.03 respectively). Given the proportion of YLWH with mental health symptoms, Botswana should enhance investments in mental health services for YLWH, especially for young female adults who bear a disproportionate burden.","PeriodicalId":50833,"journal":{"name":"Ajar-African Journal of Aids Research","volume":"22 1","pages":"54-62"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10787227/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9373335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An exploratory qualitative descriptive methodology using conventional content analysis was used to meet our study aims. We recruited 20 expert clients and 12 key informants (programme managers, programme coordinators and nurses) to participate in semi-structured interviews, and we arranged four focus group discussions among adolescents living with HIV with seven to ten participants per focus group. Adherence counselling in clinical and community settings was considered paramount to the roles and responsibilities of expert clients with regard to adolescent-specific HIV service delivery. The following recommendations were made to enhance expert client service delivery practices among adolescents: (1) training in adolescent developmental, sexual and reproductive needs; (2) training to enhance clinical knowledge and skills; (3) additional work equipment and compensation; and d) more parent and guardian engagement in their work. While expert clients meet the needs of adolescents living with HIV in several capacities, they require additional resources, skills and training to improve their work, especially in the realm of sexual and reproductive health. Future research is needed to evaluate the impact of expert client service delivery on adolescent health outcomes.","PeriodicalId":50833,"journal":{"name":"Ajar-African Journal of Aids Research","volume":"22 1","pages":"27-34"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9424858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, these trials have provided oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) as HIV-prevention standard of care; however, data on PrEP uptake and use during the trial and post-trial access are lacking.Methods: We conducted once-off, telephonic, in-depth interviews from August 2020 to March 2021, with 15 key stakeholders (including site directors/leaders, principal investigators and clinicians), purposively recruited from research sites across South Africa that are known to conduct HIV-prevention and endpoint-driven clinical trials. The interview guide probed for facilitators and barriers to PrEP uptake and use during the trial, and post-trial PrEP access. Interviews were audio recorded and transcribed. Coding was facilitated using NVivo and emergent themes were identified.Results: Most stakeholders reported incorporating PrEP as part of the HIV-prevention package in HIV-prevention and endpoint-driven clinical trials. Stakeholders identified multiple barriers to PrEP uptake and use, including difficulties with daily pill taking, side effects, stigma, a lack of demand creation and limited knowledge and education about PrEP in communities. Facilitators of PrEP uptake and use included demand-creation campaigns and trial staff providing quality counselling and education. Post-trial PrEP access was frequently challenging as facilities were located a considerable distance from research sites, had long queues and inconvenient operating hours.Conclusions: Strategies to address barriers to PrEP uptake and use during trials and post-trial access, such as PrEP demand creation, education and counselling, addressing stigma, support for daily pill-taking and increased post-trial access, are urgently needed.","PeriodicalId":50833,"journal":{"name":"Ajar-African Journal of Aids Research","volume":"22 1","pages":"18-26"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9360739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it remains unclear how men and women are discussed in HIV-prevention initiatives and if certain representations of men and women impact prevention guidance. This research aimed to understand how men and women are portrayed in HIV-prevention guidelines produced by UNAIDS for the SSA region, and how these influence the different types of interventions targeted at women and men. Thirty-four UNAIDS prevention documents were included in the study. The policy documents were analysed to ascertain the frequency of different interventions suggested, the extent to which they were targeted at men and women, and a textual analysis of the way that men and women were represented. Due to a lack of information regarding other gender identities, the research was aimed at cis-gender men and women only. The analysis revealed that most policy documents focused on women, that there were differences in the types of interventions targeted at men and women, with few social interventions targeted at men, and that the language used to describe men and women repeats traditional gender stereotypes and cements simplistic dualisms. The lack of social interventions targeted at men suggests that behaviour change among men is not highly prioritised in current prevention initiatives. Instead, current UNAIDS policy focuses on women as the key site for intervention and empowerment. UNAIDS should therefore provide more details and examples about how best to engage men and boys in prevention efforts, as well as to include more nuanced conceptions of gender in policy guidance.","PeriodicalId":50833,"journal":{"name":"Ajar-African Journal of Aids Research","volume":"22 1","pages":"9-17"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9722053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Intervention activities took place from August 2015 to July 2018 with the aim of addressing social barriers to HIV counselling and testing and engagement in HIV care, with a specific focus on reaching men. Multiple monitoring systems were put in place to allow for early and continuous corrective actions to be taken if activity goals, including target participation numbers in events or workshops, were not reached. Clinic data, intervention monitoring data, team meetings and community feedback mechanisms allowed for triangulation of data and creative responses to issues arising in implementation. Monitoring data must be collected and analysed carefully as they allow researchers to better understand how the intervention is being delivered and to respond to challenges and make changes in the programme and target approaches. An iterative process of sharing these data to generate community feedback on intervention approaches was critical to the success of our programme, along with engaging men in the intervention. Community mobilisation interventions to target the structural and social barriers impeding men's uptake of services are feasible in this setting, but must incorporate a continuous review of monitoring data and community collaboration to ensure that the target population is reached, and may need to also be supplemented by changes in the structure of care provision.","PeriodicalId":50833,"journal":{"name":"Ajar-African Journal of Aids Research","volume":"22 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11469330/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9444660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
