▼ This study was set to find out teachers' awareness of the HIV/AIDS workplace policy. It was conducted in four schools in Southern province, Kalomo and Monze High schools designated as urban, Kabanga and Macha High schools designated as rural and in Eastern province, Ndake and Petauke High Schools designated as rural and urban respectively. The data was collected using Questionnaires for the teachers and face to face interviews for the headteachers and DEBs. A sample of 90 teachers was selected for the study of which 68 responded favourably. Six headteachers and three District Education Board Secretaries (DEBS) were selected for the in-depth interviews.The findings revealed that MoE had made considerable efforts in disseminating the contents of the policy to teachers in both urban and rural schools. Most teachers were aware of the policy and its provisions, although some especially those in rural areas were not.Further results revealed that since the inception of the policy, deaths among teachers due to HIV-related illnesses had reduced tremendously and that headteachers had taken a proactive role in giving care and support to infected teachers who had made some disclosure. On the other hand behaviour change was reported by some teachers who disclosed that they had gone for Voluntary Counselling and Testing.However, it was learnt the issue of stigma prevented others from coming out in the open to disclose their status. This resulted in them getting little support from their schools as the'ir privacy was respected. All-in-all the steps taken by MoE in coming up with the policy in 2004 are bearing fruits although there lies a big challenge in the implementation process which most teachers during the study expressed disappointment with. It was hoped that more awareness would be raised on the contents of the policy which might further reduce HIV-related illnesses and deaths and thereby increase the teacher-pupil ratio and productivity in schools. For sure teachers were a key and valuable resource in the education sector thus Government cannot afford to continue losing them after their training at great cost.

▼ The HIV epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa is both invisible and ubiquitous: seemingly indiscernible on one's face and undetectable within a population, and pervasive in its presence across global health agendas, flows of intervention capital, and (im)moral pronouncements. Since it was first identified in Nigeria in 1986, a positive diagnosis has widely been considered a death sentence, presumed to place in jeopardy one's health, education, work, and family; stripping a person of all but her (deteriorating) organic existence. The advent of voluntary HIV testing and subsidized treatment, initiated in the early 2000s by an assemblage of international and local health and development agencies, is poised to reconfigure the exclusionary dynamics that have accompanied this prognosis. This dissertation explores the loves, pains, hopes, frustrations, and dilemmas of northern Nigerian women participating in the world that these global health campaigns have opened up. Focusing upon their pursuit of dignified and fulfilled marriages, I show how women infected with HIV engage with both the ubiquity and the anonymity of the epidemic's political face. These women seek to avert the threats that this stigmatizing diagnosis poses to their social identities. At the same time, they attempt to forge new relationships that both reinforce their respectability and help them obtain support for their healthcare and daily subsistence needs. Women participate in public health programs, paradoxically, to secure their privacy. Their ability to make claims for and benefit from testing and treatment is contingent upon the ways in which institutions, their social ties, and their very physiologies intersect, creating new life trajectories for some and excluding others. HIV-positive women's marriage aspirations are windows onto the symbolic importance of families in Nigeria, the political economic dynamics that shape social and illness prognoses in resource-poor settings, and the overarching constraints that prevent women from enacting global expectations of health citizenship.

▼ HIV remains among the leading sources of disease burden worldwide. There is considerable optimism regarding the possibility of eliminating HIV transmission using multi-method strategies anchored on anti-retroviral therapy. Such interventions require optimal engagement in care – the dynamic process by which a person living with HIV interacts with the HIV care system through testing, linkage, drug adherence, retention and viral suppression. The HIV care cascade, a continuum from identifying infected people to attaining virologic suppression, has become a useful tool for describing engagement in HIV care. The purpose of this research is to improve prediction and effect estimation along the care cascade by integrating machine learning and causal inference. First, we compare the performance of single statistical models to that of an ensemble machine learning approach which aggregates estimates from constituent singular models, with regard to predicting which HIV-infected patients in western Kenya will fail to link to care. Second, we consider the effect of sex on linkage to a care clinic after testing HIV-positive using targeted learning, a general statistical methodology for constructing data-adaptive estimators of user-supplied target parameters of the probability distribution of the data. Finally, we examine the effect of sex on rates of loss to follow-up from care over time using a longitudinal targeted learning technique. Given a shortlist of demographic, socio-economic, and access to care variables, it is possible to accurately predict which of the patients who test positive for HIV will or will not link to a clinic for ongoing care. Male sex is associated with a slightly higher risk of failing to link to care. Gender-specific interventions to promote linkage may be useful in the African epidemic context. Finally, among those who link to care, the effect of sex on loss to follow-up may vary over time in care, with males being at a slightly higher risk earlier during follow-up and females at higher risk later. Models that were not based on targeted estimation were biased with regard to the effects of sex on linkage and loss to follow-up.

▼ For the last two and half decades HIV/AIDS has been causing a great damage to human life. HIV remains a global health problem of unprecedented dimensions. Ethiopia is one of the sub Saharan country affected by the epidemic. For instance, in 2005 there were 1,320,000 persons living with HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia. There were 353 new infections and 338 deaths per day at the national level. However these days with the discovery of ART drugs, mortality rate decreased. Even though mortality rate decreased, there were problems created after the invention of the drug. Since taking the drug needs >95% adherence which means not missing more than one dose per month to avoid the emergence of drug resistant HIV strains. Otherwise the virus will replicates and mutates (changes its character, including its ability to resist drugs) at a very high rate. Non- adherence by patients on ART has serious consequence both on the individual as well as the society. According to different studies conducted through out the country, starting spiritual treatment like tsebel is one of the reasons for non adherence by patients. The belief that goes saying modern medicine could not be taken with spiritual treatment (tsebel) by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church has been creating a problem for the past few years. However, the church has changed its stand and started to educate the clergy about this issue. The study uses qualitative method which includes in-depth interview and focus group discussion. The data is collected from two holy water site: Entoto Mariam church and Urael church. The data is collected from four target groups which include: - Religious leaders, People Living With HIV (Who are taking ART with tsebel and who stopped taking ART after they started tsebel), Community leaders and Actors (Organizations who are working on HIV and related issues). Eventually, the findings of the study show that there is awareness about ART and adherence among religious leaders, PLWHA and community leaders. The training given by EOC helped to create awareness and to make dialogue among religious leaders. As a result, there is found to be a behavioral change among religious leaders. They started advising PLWHA not to stop their ART drug when they start tsebel. The communication between religious leaders and PLWHA is limited to interpersonal communication (counseling) because religious leaders are not comfortable to talk about the compatibility of ART and tsebel in public. Even those religious leaders, who are giving education in public, do it rarely. The absence of a written policy by the church, scarcity of mass communication, and community resistance are some of the problems that are revealed by this study. To solve these problems, availability of policy, sensitization of the congregants at public places and churches regularly, interpersonal communication with PLWHA and the use of Mass Media in the form of TV spots and radio dialogues are recommended.

▼ The use of high active antiretroviral therapy in people living with HIV/AIDS is increasing worldwide. In Rwanda, above 70 % of people in need of antiretroviral therapies is getting them. This drug therapy is associated with abnormal fat redistribution and metabolic complications which increase the risks of cardiovascular and diabetes diseases among these patients. The best recommended preventive and treating modality for these complications is physical activity participation. Despite this recommendation, there is lack of information about physical activity in HIV individuals under high active antiretroviral therapy. The current study aims to determine physical activity levels among people living with HIV treated with high active antiretroviral therapy in Kigali, Rwanda. A cross-sectional design using quantitative method was used. The participant's levels of physical activity participation and their association with anthropometric profiles were measured, using a structured self-administered questionnaire adapted from the Sub-Saharan Africa Activity Questionnaire. Based on a scientific calculation, 407 clients passing through the clinics were included in the study. A convenient sample of people attending the clinics approached to participate voluntarily in the study. The statistical package for social sciences version 19.0 and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Inferential statistics like Chi-square test was used to determine the associations between physical activity levels and anthropometric profiles (p<0.05). Of the participants, 77% were female with a mean age of 38.82 years (SD=8.9. According to body mass index and weight hip ration, approximately 40% and 43% were obese and overweight respectively. Obesity was more common amongst the females (45%). The study found a high prevalence of inactivity in the following activities, of leisure-time (82.6%), household (71%), walking to/from work (61.7%) and work related physical activities (75%). Obesity was found to be strongly associated with inactivity in all types of activity. The findings of the current study highlighted the lack of motivation, lack of time and fear of worsening the disease amongst the strong barriers to physical activity participation. The current study recommends education about the benefits of physical activity participation and encouragement of patient treated with high active antiretroviral therapy in Rwanda to be emphasized on to improve their lives.

▼ Early Childhood Care Education and Development (ECCED) is education offered to children below the age seven. In Zambia the provision of this type of education has been left in the hands of the private sector including Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs), local communities and religious institutions. However, the Ministry of Education provides professional services to pre-school education by training teachers, developing curriculum, learning and teaching materials and monitoring standards. In September 2004, the Government of Zambia gazetted ECCED to the Ministry of Education. The Ministry has since made ECCED one of the sub-sectors in the Ministry. Strategies for coordination and implementation of ECCED are being developed among them are management of HIV and AIDS in the ECCED programmes and centres. The general purpose of this research was to determine how HIV/AIDS was managed in the centres and how members of staff responded to the HIV and AIDS mitigation strategies in ECCED institutions. Data were collected from selected preschools in Chawama, Chilenje, Chilenje South, Chilenje South Extension, Kanyama and Libala Extension of Lusaka district. A total number of 69 respondents were interviewed from the institutions visited. The respondents included administrators, Project Coordinators, Head teachers, teachers in charge and Pre-school teachers. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used. Questionnaire and interviews were administered in the selected centres. The coded data were double entered in a built data entry sheet in the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 13.0 to ensure range checks. The same package was used for data processing, analysis and manipulation to produce graphic presentations.The research showed that ECCED institutions were run by the Government,Private Companies, Individuals or Faith Based Organizations. Those institutions run by Faith Based Organizations (FBOs), were under the Catholic Church, Pentecostal Rock of Salvation Ministries and the Seventh Day Adventist Church (SDA).Considering that staff in ECCED institutions handled very young children who may be HIV and AIDS infected or affected, training in HIV and AIDS should be compulsory. There was need for a programme for parents/guardians of children in ECCED institutions to get counselled on HIV and AIDS to enhance their understanding of the operations of such institutions. ECCED institutions should be provided with HIV and AIDS Information Education Communications (IEC) materials like brochures, flyers and wall charts. The members of staff that accessed these materials were those that had opportunity to attend workshops, seminars and training on HIV and AIDS.The findings of the study include the following: HIV and AIDS pandemic have impacted the country negatively. The ECCED has been left out in the programmes and implementation of activities aimed at mitigating the spread of HIV and AIDS. The Ministry of Education has developed training manuals and other materials on HIV and AIDS, but none of the visited…

▼ Atazanavir-ritonavir (ATV-r) has been recommended by the World Health Organization as part of second-line combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) in HIV-infected patients aged 6 years and above. In 2013, the Zambia HIV treatment program introduced ATV-ras an alternative Protease Inhibitor (PI) to lopinavir-ritonavir (LPV-r) because of its gastrointestinal tolerability, lipid profile and once-daily dosing. However, data about the safety and tolerability of ATV-r-containing regimens in sub-Saharan Africa continues to be inadequate. A cross sectional study was undertaken which evaluated clinical and laboratory events among HIV-infected adult patients initiating ATV-r-based second-line cART at the University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka, Zambia between December 2013 and April 2014. A sample of 49 patients’ medical records were selected and reviewed. SPSS version 16 was used for analysis. Association between demographic variables (age and gender)and the AEs was assessed using chi-square. Ethical approval was obtained from the University of Zambia Biomedical Research Ethics Committee. Following initiation of ATV-r, the vast majority of the study patients did not report adverse events (n=40, 81.6%). Among those with adverse events, jaundice (n=2, 4.1%)and diarrhoea (n=4, 8.2%) were the predominant complaints. Overall, hyperbilirubinaemia was the most common laboratory adverse event (n=3, 6.1%) and it was not associated with either age (p=0.755) or gender (p=0.604). The clinical adverse events reported by the patients also showed no association with the demographic characteristics. There were no treatment discontinuations of the ATV-r regimen based on these events. ATV-r-based regimen appeared to be safe in the study population. Hyperbilirubinaemia was the most frequently observed laboratory AE though it did not prompt discontinuation of this drug. Continued safety and tolerability monitoring of ATV-based regimens is needed in resource limited settings, particularly for longer observation periods. Direct comparisons with other PI-based combinations are urgent, for the precise understanding of the efficacy and toxic effects.

O objetivo do estudo foi caracterizar o estado nutricional, seu significado prognóstico e os fatores de risco para desnutrição em pacientes com HIV/AIDS num hospital de referência para doenças infecciosas em Salvador, Bahia. No período de seis meses, foram identificados todos os pacientes com HIV/AIDS com faixa etária entre 20 a 50 anos, com diagnóstico anterior à hospitalização ou realizado nos primeiros sete dias da internação. Entrevistas e revisão de prontuário foram utilizadas para coletar informações sobre exposição de risco para desnutrição. O índice de massa corpórea (IMC), adequação da prega cutânea triciptal (PCT) e área muscular do braço corrigida (AMBc) foram utilizados como indicadores antropométricos. Análises univariadas foram utilizadas para identificar fatores de risco associadas à desnutrição. As associações na análise multivariada (p<0,05) foram expressas por Odds Ratio e intervalo de confiança de 95%. Dos 97 pacientes que foram incluídos no estudo, 62% eram do gênero masculino e a idade mediana de 33 anos (IIQ: 30-42). Observou-se que 41% dos pacientes apresentavam baixo peso, segundo o IMC, e mais de 60% dos pacientes com IMC ≥18,5 kg/m2 apresentavam depleção grave de massa magra e massa gorda (p<0,01). Pacientes com história prévia de candidíase oral e diarréia crônica possuíram risco 4,6 e 2,5 vezes maior de apresentar baixo peso na admissão do que aqueles sem histórico dessas doenças, respectivamente. A freqüência de óbito foi maior entre os pacientes com baixo peso do que os pacientes com peso adequado (p=0,30). Concluiu-se que houve elevada prevalência de baixo peso em pacientes internados por HIV/AIDS e a presença de depleção grave de massa magra e gordura corporal foi identificada mesmo em pacientes com peso adequado. Os achados de candidíase oral e diarréia crônica como fatores de risco para desnutrição ressalta que esses agravos devem ser foco de atenção para evitar a ocorrência de baixo peso em pacientes portadores de HIV/AIDS.

The aim of this study was to characterize the nutritional status, its prognostic significance and risk factors for malnutrition in patients with HIV/AIDS in a referral hospital for infectious diseases in Salvador, Bahia. During the six months, all patients were identified with HIV/AIDS, 20-50 years, with a diagnosis prior to admission or conducted in the first seven days of hospitalization. Interview and chart review were used to collect information about exposure risk for malnutrition. The body mass index (BMI), adequacy of triceps skinfold (TSF) and corrected arm muscle area (CAMA) were used as anthropometric indicators. Univariate analysis were used to identify risk factors associated with malnutrition. The associations in multivariate analysis (p<0.05) were expressed by Odds Ratio and confidence interval of 95%. Of the 97 patients who were included in the study, 62% were male and the median age of 33 years (IQR: 30-42). It was observed that 41% of patients had low weight, according to BMI, and more than 60% of patients with BMI ≥ 18.5 kg/m2…

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Purpose of the Study The purpose of this study was to find out whether there is an association between family structure (a well-structured family or a non-structured family) and sexual risk factors related to HIV infection of youths aged 14-24 [inclusive] in Gaborone, Botswana. Research Design A descriptive research design using quantitative approach was used in this study. Data Collection Data was collected through questionnaires handed to the respondents to fill and return the responses back to the researcher. Youths from Old Naledi location, University of Botswana and Gaborone Senior Secondary School served as study population. Findings The results showed there was no significant association between family structure family and the sexual risk factors related to HIV infection of youths aged 14-24 [inclusive]. Nevertheless, the results showed that as young people get older, they indulge in high-risk behaviours related to HIV infection, such as having sex under the influence of alcohol, having multiple sexual partners and having sex in exchange for money. Conclusion The findings have shown that the youth in general are at high risk of contracting HIV infection. A high number of them are sexually active, and therefore it is suggested that they be encouraged to be more pro-active in order to prevent HIV infection or infection with other sexually transmitted diseases.

AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Doelwit van die Studie Die doel van hierdie studie was om uit te vind of daar 'n verband is tussen familiestruktuur (goed-gestruktueerde familiestruktuur of nie-gestruktueerde familiestruktuur) en seksuele risiko faktore wat verband hou met MIV-oordrag onder jongmense tussen 14 en 24 jaar (inklusief) in Gaborone (Botswana). Navorsingsontwerp 'n Beskrywende navorsingsontwerp met 'n kwantitatiewe aanslag is gebruik. Data Versameling Data is ingesamel deur middel van vraelyste. Jongmense van die Naledi-omgewing, Universiteit van Botswana en Gaborone Senior Sekondêre Skool het as studie-populasie gedien. Resultate Die resultate het gewys dat daar geen betekenisvolle verband was tussen familiestruktuur (goed-gestruktueerde familiestruktuur of nie-gestruktueerde familiestruktuur) en seksuele risiko faktore wat verband hou met MIV-oordrag onder jongmense tussen 14 en 24 jaar (inklusief) in Gaborone nie. Die resultate het egter aangedui dat, soos jongmense ouer word, hulle hoë risiko seksuele gedrag wat verband hou met MIV-oordrag begin vertoon. Voorbeelde van hoë risiko seksuele gedrag wat verband hou met MIV-oordrag, sluit onder andere in seksuele omgang onder die invloed van alkohol, veelvuldige seksuele verhoudings en seks vir geld. Gevolgtrekking Die resultate het gewys dat jongmense oor die algemeen 'n groot kans staan om met MIV geïnfekteer te word. Baie jongmense is seksueel aktief, en die aanbeveling is dat hulle aangemoedig moet word om pro-aktief op te tree ten einde infeksie van MIV of enige ander seksueel oordraagbare siekte te voorkom.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Lesotho it’s one of the countries with highest prevalence, so the international funding agencies (donors) has resorted to help out in the fight of this pandemic. Donors are the main funder’s of the projects/organisations within the country which are in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Numerous international development agencies (donors) have established an intervention to fight and respond to the challenges brought by the HIV/AIDS pandemic through projects within the country. Projects set aims and objectives about HIV/AIDS and implement them with the purpose of reducing prevalence, mitigating the impact and as a way of improving lives of People living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). Donor funded projects/organisations seem not be sustainable as it seems there is a challenge of monitoring and evaluation. The study was undertaken to identify current monitoring and evaluation practices. To determine challenges faced by projects in the implementation of monitoring and evaluation within donor funded projects/organisations. The data collection method used was semi-structured interview questions and the questionnaire (Likert Scale). Participants who were monitoring and evaluations officers and the managers were interviewed. The study found out that all the six organisations practise monitoring and evaluation and there are full time officers. The organisations faced various challenges like funding, non-existence of policy, no systems in place to follow and lack of monitoring and evaluation of concept in the implementation of monitoring and evaluation. All the six organisations do report to donors frequently. All organisations had a belief that M & E is a necessity for sustainability, and aligning results with strategic objectives. In conclusion the study found out that all organisations have M & E in place. Recommendations are provided for donor funded organisations.

AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Lesotho is een van die lande in Afrika met die hoogste voorkoms van MIV/Vigs. As gevolg van die ernstigheid van die pandemie in Lesotho raak meer en meer internasionale donateurs betrokke by die stryd teen die pandemie. Daar is ‘n ou besigheidwaarheid wat sê dat jy nie kan bestuur sonder om te meet nie en om hierdie rede is die monitering en evaluering van MIV/Vigs ingrepe baie belangrik. Hierdie studie is onderneem om die huidige montering- en evalueringspraktyke in Lesotho te evalueer. Die studie het bevind dat in al ses organisasies wat by die ondersoek betrek is, daar geen voltydse monitering-en evalueringsbeamtes betrokke is nie. Dit is verder bevind dat daar ‘n grootskaalse gebrek aan gevestigde praktyke en prosedures bestaan en dat monitering- en evaluering dus nie konsekwent gedoen word nie. Behoorlike evaluering van die doeltreffendheid van MIV/Vigsprogramme is nie net belangrik vir Lesotho nie, maar is ook belangrik vir die lande en organisasies wat die programme borg. Voorstelle ter verbetering van die monitering- en evaluering van MIV/Vigsprogramme in Lesotho word aan die hand gedoen.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study was conducted with the aim to establish how knowledge, attitudes, practice and behaviour influence nurses’ care for HIV/AIDS patients in public hospitals in the Tshwane Metropolitan area. This knowledge is necessary in order to provide suggestions to empower and upskill nurses to enable them and the relevant hospitals to take care of HIV/AIDS patients effectively and efficiently in the Tshwane Metropolitan area in particular, and in South Africa in general. This study was motivated or informed by the fact that in South Africa a great majority of people living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA) are treated in state hospitals (Shisana et al, 2005) as quoted by Dijkstra, et al (2007) where they are cared for by nurses, doctors and other health professionals. Moreover to date little is known about the practical use that medical staff make of the HIV/AIDS policy in state hospitals in South Africa, as well as their knowledge on HIV/AIDS, and relevant attitudes, practice and behaviour in general. The research question was to establish or determine to what extent the nurses’ knowledge, attitudes, practice and behaviour influence their care for HIV/AIDS patients at public hospitals in the Tshwane Metropolitan area. To confirm or reject our assumptions relating to nurses’ knowledge, attitudes, practice and behaviour, 83 male and females nurses, selected by means of census sampling from Steve Biko Academic Hospital, Dr George Mukari Hospital and Kalafong Hospital (all these hospitals are in the Tshwane Metropolitan Area), were asked to answer a questionnaire based on the variables of knowledge, attitudes, practice and behaviour. The results of this study indicate that the majority of the nurses in the targeted hospitals are more experienced in caring for HIV/AIDS patients because they have been caring and treating HIV/AIDS patients for more than four years. They are aware of HIV/AIDS’ existence, its transmission and prevention. The level of understanding of the content of the different training sessions on various aspects of HIV/AIDS care and management for those who attended in-service training sessions organised to prepare them for their job, appeared to be adequate and extensive. And as a result, they possess some in-depth knowledge about HIV/AIDS. They are happy because they are content with their jobs, as well as caring and treating HIV/AIDS patients. Most of them have very positive outlooks and because of this, they behave positively towards HIV/AIDS patients. Moreover, because of being aware of the risk involved in their job, as well as its implications, they practice universal precautions when caring for and treating their patients. They also enjoy support from their families and are not afraid of contracting HIV while carrying out their tasks. However, there are still nurses in the targeted hospitals unaware or in denial of HIV/AIDS’ existence,…

Thesis (MPhil (Industrial Psychology. Africa Centre for HIV/AIDS Management)) – University of Stellenbosch, 2011.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse mostly among the sexually active population aged 15-24. Young adults account for the highest percentage of AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) in Southern Africa, Lesotho inclusive. Causes of the increased rates of STIs/HIV in young people are complex; the main reasons include biological factors, risky sexual behaviour patterns, transmission dynamics and treatmentseeking behaviour. The continuous spread of STI/HIV/AIDS depends on behavior and sexual habits. Majority of the population in Lesotho are Christians and morality is been preached daily. It is alarming that all these preaching do not reduce unsafe sexual behavior and the spread of STI/HIV/AIDS. Many Faith-Based Organizations (FBOs) promote comprehensive prevention approaches but find it difficult to discuss sex and safer practices, particularly condom use, in a faith context. It is important to break the silence around HIV, dispel myths and misinformation, and to overcome stigma and discrimination within the faith context. Aim: The aim to study is to assess the knowledge of youths in a religious environment towards STI/HIV/AIDS and condom use. Method: The study was conducted among 30 members of RCCG youths with equal gender balance (15 males and 15 females) aged between 15 and 24 years. A semi-structured, selfadministered questionnaire was used to collect the data over 2 weeks.The data was the analyzed using statistical software EPI Info version 3.5.1. Result: Knowledge STI/HIV/AIDS across the age group was good with those less than 19 years of age having 92.3% and those more than 20 years of age having 82.4%. Likewise, half of the RCCG youths less than 19 years have good knowledge of condom use while about two thirds of youths more than 20 years of age have good knowledge of condom use as compared to 33.3% with poor knowledge. About three quarter (73.3%) of female RCCG youths have good knowledge of condom use as compared to about half (53.3%) of the male youths. All RCCG youths (100%) in tertiary institution have good knowledge of condom use as compared to 60.9 % of those in secondary school. All the participants had formal education with 60% of them in secondary school and the remaining 40% in tertiary institution. Conclusion and Recommendations: This research study gave an opportunity to an air of openness on STI/HIV/AIDS and condom use among RCCG youths. Churches preach abstinence, but Abstinence and preventive measures are to be preached alongside each other. RCCG church should inform all church members (including the youths) about STI/HIV/AIDS and preventive methods. Seminars/Workshops should be regularly organized to bring the youths together so that they can freely express themselves concerning issues around STI/HIV/AIDS. Faith Based Organizations (FBO) and Non Governmental Organizations…

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: It is believed and observed by many that the clinics or hospitals that administer ARV are congested and patients wait for a long time for services thus the study undertook to de-termine the factors contributing to the delay in distribution of ARV and other related treatments for people living with HIV during follow up at the ARV clinic of the Rundu State Hospital. The researcher conducted a mixed approach whereby qualitative and quantitative data was collected, the researcher conducted two qualitative methods, a document analysis of the National Guidelines for Antiretroviral Therapy for the Republic of Namibia (Ministry of Health and Social Services) and unpublished government documents of the clinic and a semi structured interview with the immediate supervisors of the clinic. This was fi-nished with questionnaires for CDC health workers and patients that have been using the centre for at least 4 months and more. It was found that the CDC clinic is truly congested with patients and all the participants acknowledged the long waiting time and long queues of the patients at the clinic. This issue has been highlighted as the main challenge within the clinic, along with few health workers and no enough counseling and consulting rooms. Recommendations are pro-vided for both the clinic and the nation at large or the line ministry to assist collectively in finding a way forward in reducing the long queues and long waiting time of the pa-tients at the CDC clinics in Namibia.

AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Daar word geglo en waargeneem dat baie klinieke en hospitale wat ARV administreer, baie besig is en dat pasiente vir 'n baie lang tyd moet wag vir dienste. Die studie onderneem dus om vas te stel wat die factore is wat bydra tot die vertraging in die verspreiding van ARV en ander verwante behandeling van mense wat met MIV saamleef, gedurende opvolg-besoeke by ARV-klinieke van die Rundu Staatshospitaal. Die navorser het 'n gemengde benadering gevolg waardeur kwalitatiewe en kwantitatiewe data is ingesamel was. Die navorser het twee kwalitatiewe metodes, 'n dokument analise van die National Guidelines for Antiretroviral Thearapy vir die Republiek van Namibië (Ministerie van Gesondheid en Maatskaplike Dienste) en ongepubliseerde regering dokumente van die kliniek en 'n semi-gestruktureerde onderhoud met die onmiddellike toesighouers van die kliniek gevoer. Dit was opgevolg met vraelyste vir CDC gesondheidswerkers en pasiënte wat die gebruik van die sentrum vir ten minste 4 maande en meer geniet het. Daar is gevind dat die CDC-kliniek werklik oorvol is met pasiënte en al die deelnemers het die lang wagtye en lang toue van pasiënte by die kliniek bevestig. Hierdie probleem is uitgelig as die grootste uitdaging in die kliniek, saam met 'n tekort aangesond heidswerkers en nie genoeg berading en spreekkamers nie. Aanbevelings vir beide die klinieke en die hele bevolking word hiermee gegee om kollektief te help met die vind van 'n pad vorentoe in die vermindering van die lang toue en lang wagtye van die pasiënte by…

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This research paper is based on the perception of people over the death by HIV and Aids. It looks at the impact of culture and beliefs on the management of HIV and Aids in the community and also in the country as whole. This research aims to establish the root course of covering death of by HIV and Aids, often due to fear of discrimination and isolation. Communities need to be educated on discrimination and stigma that comes about with people living with HIV and Aids. This study was conducted at Mvelaphanda Primary School children, in Tembisa, Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality in Gauteng, South Africa. The main focus was on the death of parents of the learners at the school and ultimately learners themselves, who some of them where born with HIV epidemic. Some of the children became orphans of the disease. The collection of data was in three fold: questionnaire, interview and observation and discussions. The information gathered was manipulated to bring about the expected results. Analysis of the data indicated that where there is no behavioral and attitude change, there would be more death by the pandemic than ever before. It is the responsibility of everyone, be it heads of families, religious leaders, politicians, business people and teachers to fight against the spread of HIV and Aids pandemic. This study has also discovered that medical report on the cause of death is concealed in order for policies to payout. This distortion of information does not help in the fight against the spread of HIV and Aids All stakeholders should work together in the support of those will disclose their status without fear of rejection, isolation and discriminated against. Schools, churches and community gatherings should be better used as a plat-form for that. If such conditions are created the spread of the HIV will be reduced and the prevention strategy will succeed.

AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die navorsing handel oor die persepsie van mense teenoor dood as gevolg van MIV/Vigs. Dit ondersoek die impak van kultuur en geloof op die bestuur van MIV/Vigs binne 'n gemeenskap in die besonder en binne die land in die algemeen. Die doel van die navorsing was om die grondoorsaak waarom daar dikwels gediskrimeer word teenoor persone wat sterf weens MIV te identifiseer en om te bepaal waarom mense wat met MIV leef dikwels “uitgewerp” word uit die gemeenskap. Die studie is gedoen by die Mvelaphanda Primêre Skool in Tembisa, in die Ekuhuleni Metropool van die Gauteng provinsie van Suid-Afrika. Die primêre fokus van die studie was op die invloed wat die dood as gevolg van Vigs op die kinders in die skool gehad het. Data is ingesamel deur middel van vraelyste en onderhoude asook deur waarneming en besprekings. Ontleding van die data het aangetoon dat indien daar nie positiewe gedragverandering plaasvind nie, daar meer sterftes as gevolg van Vigs verwag kan word. Daar word aanbevelings gemaak oor hoe belangroepe kan meehelp om stigma en diskriminasie te verminder en sodoende kan meehelp om die verdere verspreiding…

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Nigeria has the second highest disease burden of HIV/AIDS in sub Saharan Africa after South Africa with adult HIV prevalence of 4.1%, with an estimated 3,130 million people living with HIV (Male-1,320,000: Female-1,820,000-2010) (FMOH, 2010). The HIV epidemic in Cross River state is 7.1% in 2010; and ranks as the 9th highest in the country. General Hospital Ogoja is one of the secondary level hospitals in Cross River State of Nigeria that offers Comprehensive HIV/AIDS services. Although the prevalence of HIV is very high in Cross River state (7%) that of General Hospital is not readily known. The uptake of HIV Counseling and Testing (HCT) among health care workers is relatively low, despite the fact that the awareness of HIV and AIDS in Nigeria by adult population is said to be generally very high (93.8%).The use of condom in the last sex act was low (16%) despite the fact that sexual transmission is the predominant mode of HIV spread in Nigeria (NARHS 2007) To determine whether the knowledge health care workers in GH Ogoja have about HIV/AIDS affect their sexual behaviour; a quantitative approach of research design was used through a questionnaire A total of one hundred and thirty questionnaires were distributed and all were returned. There were few abstentions on some of the questions possibly due to its private nature but generally the overall responses were devoid of inconsistencies and the response rate was well over 98%. The findings from the study showed that greater that 90% of the respondents are quite knowledgeable with the cause of HIV, modes of transmission and prevention of HIV. While the respondents exhibit a high knowledge with respect to modes of transmission through sexual intercourse(96.8%); their knowledge with respect to safer sex practices with use of condom in penetrative sex calls for further review. It would be expected that 100% of all respondent will be fully abreast with information on the modes of transmission of HIV and its prevention. Condom use in stable relationship connotes different meanings to the respondents. While 109(85.2%) of the 128 respondents agreed to the use of condom among couples when the status of one of their partner is unknown. The response to the question on whether the use of condom affects sexual relationship portrays an interesting finding. 71(55.4%) of the total respondents disagreed with the fact that condom use affect sexual relationship while 42(32.8%) respondents agreed. It may not be out of place to assume that a lot of HCWs may not be condomizing effectively based on the impression that condom use during sex affect sexual relationship. Health care workers live and interact freely with other members of the society and are potential bridging group for disseminating HIV into the larger population. The finding from GH Ogoja portrays the fact that though the knowledge of HIV among them is very high their full application of the knowledge with respect to sexual behavioural change is still doubtful. A more qualitative study like focus group… Advisors/Committee Members: Augustyn, J. C. D., Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences. Dept. of Industrial Psychology.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study sought to determine the effectiveness of a TB/HIV collaboration programme in an infectious disease clinic in Frances Baard District, Kimberley, and assess the underlying challenges that clients face while accessing TB and HIV treatment, care and support services from the health care facility. South Africa is facing one of the worst dual epidemics of TB and HIV in the world. It is also described as one of the countries with the highest TB burden in the world. HIV has been shown to fuel the TB epidemic by promoting progression to active disease, both in people with recently acquired and latent disease. Given that a large proportion of TB patients are HIV infected and experience considerable morbidity and mortality, integration of both services at the same service point becomes unavoidable. Data was collection through focus group discussions and self-administered questionnaires. It was clear that TB/HIV programme collaboration has not been optimized. Clients travel from one service point to another to access TB and HIV care. Service delivery sometimes is delayed due to several factors and therefore clients miss the appointments at the other service point. This has led to adherence challenge, treatment default, treatment failure and increasing burden of TB/HIV disease. The research determined that the key to optimize TB/HIV collaboration is to provide both services from the same service point as well as to improve the level of care to the clients. Shared responsibility should be encouraged among service providers/caregivers and clients in an infectious disease unit. Timely interventions to clients will reduce the morbidity rates associated with TB/HIV co-infection and more deaths will be averted especially if full integration is implemented. It is increasingly evident that TB and HIV programmes must collaborate fully to counteract the impact of HIV on TB.

AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van die studie was om die effektiwiteit van 'n MIV/TB samewerkingsprogram in 'n kliniek in Frances Baard distrik in Kimberley te ondersoek en ook om die onderliggende struikelblokke te bepaal wat pasiënte ondervind wanneer hul vir MIV en TB behandeling na die gesondheidsorg fasilieteit kom. Suid-Afrika word erg geraak deur die gesamentlike epidemie van TB en Vigs. Dit is ook een van die lande met die hoogste TB syfers ter wêreld. MIV infeksie is veel erger onder persone wat reeds TB het. Gegewe dat baie TB pasiënte MIV positief is, is integrasie van beide gesondheidsfunksies onvermydelik. Data is ingesamel deur middel van fokusgroepbesprekings en vraelyste. Dit was duidelik dat TB/MIV programme se samewerking nie optimaal was nie. Pasiënte moet na verskillende punte gaan vir TB en MIV behandeling. Dienslewering word soms vertraag op die een punt en het die gevolg dat die pasiënte sy/haar afspraak by die volgende plek mis. Die navorsing het bevind dat dit beter sal wees om TB sowel as MIV behandeling op een punt te bied. Gedeelde verantwoordelikheid is nodig tussen die gesondheidsdienste en afsetpunte.…

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Contraception is defined as the prevention of pregnancy through temporary or permanent means and it is a fundamental element of family planning (Bafana 2010). A contraceptive helps and protects women from unwanted pregnancies. While contraceptives are widely and easily available the statistics for teenage pregnancy remains high and the use of contraceptives is very low in South Africa. The South African Demographic and Health Survey (SADHS) statistics show that there has been an increase in the number of teenage pregnancy when comparing the statistics of the two periods 1998 and 2008. The numbers have almost doubled to 16% of the learner population being pregnant in some provinces. The Eastern Cape (EC) Province is no exception. Aims and objectives of this study were to understand if teenagers today know enough about the use of contraceptives and about social and medical problems associated with teen pregnancy? If yes, why are they not using contraceptives and how can we change that to prevent teenage pregnancy and unwanted babies. This study made use of a triangulation methodology whereby both qualitative and quantitative research methods were used. The study was two-pronged with the target group being teenagers at school and pregnant teenagers attending ante-natal clinics (age 13-19yrs). About 120 teenagers were recruited for the study. In-depth interviews were conducted through use of questionnairesd amongst the school youth which involved both boys and girls. In ANC interviews and focus groups were conducted when the girls were in their second to fifth month of pregnancy. Results indicated that understanding of contraceptives and reproductive health amongst teenagers was poor, condoms were the contraceptive method most known by teenagers and their understanding of the menstrual cycle was inaccurate . Most teenagers who knew about contraceptives perceived them as bad saying they make you wet. They do perceiveepregnancy as a negative event with consequences such as loss of a boyfriend, loss of friends, blame from friends and family members, feeling guilty, difficulty and school dropout, complications during pregnancy or delivery and risk of HIV. They regarded abortion as the better pregnancy preventative method and were poorly informed about secondary infertility if abortion is done. The study identified a number of factors that may influence the use and acceptance of contraceptives by teenagers and that will help in decreasing teenage pregnancy rate. These factors may influence” teenagers‟ behavioural intentions” through altering their perceptions of the personal and social consequences of falling pregnant and their self-efficacy in relation to sexual behaviour. Strategies to promote use of contraceptives should focus on making information on contraception more accessible and offering programmers that empower teenage girls and boys in the area of sexuality. This should also focus on building social capital for teenagers in communities, targeting trans-generational sexual norms, applying the… Advisors/Committee Members: Augustyn, J. C.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Churches have a potential to play a vital role in halting the spread of HIV because they are established in almost all communities. The majority of people believe in their spiritual leaders and obey them; therefore, churches can be a perfect platform to reach out to all communities, both in the urban and rural areas. The purpose of the study was to investigate HIV and AIDS knowledge in Alleluia Ministries International (AMI) pastoral team. AMI is a church, and it has about 20 branches in and outside South Africa (SA), with the membership estimated at 10,000 in SA. Cultural diversity is one of the strengths of this church as the members are drawn from 11 African countries. The study concentrated on AMI branches in Gauteng Province, including the main church in Lyndhurst, Johannesburg, SA. The researcher conducted qualitative research method, and fifteen pastors were interviewed. Findings showed that there is a need for HIV and AIDS training programme for the pastors, as only 13% of the participants were able answer the questions correctly. A recommendation was made to the church leadership to consider employing specific training providers such as Lawyers, Epidemiologists, Psychologist, etc, to come and speak to the pastors in order to fill the identified gaps.

AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Omdat kerke so goed verteenwoordig is in die meeste gemeenskappe kan hulle ‘n beduidende rol speel in die bekamping van en die verspreiding van die MIV-virus. Die meerderheid van mense binne ‘n gemeenskap glo hulle kerkleiers en kerke kan dus die ideale platform raak vanwaar gemeenskappe in beide stedelike sowel as plattelandse gebiede vir voorligting bereik kan word. Die doel van hierdie studie was om die kennisvlakke van die pastorale span van die Alleluia Ministeries Suid-Afrika te bepaal. Hierdie kerk het ‘n ledetal van meer as 10 000 mense in Suid-Afrika met ledetal vanuit uit 11 ander lande in Afrika. Kwalitatiewe inligting is verkry uit onderhoude met 15 pastore van hierdie bepaalde kerk. Resultate van die studie toon duidelik aan dat daar ‘n ernstige kennisprobleem rakende MIV/Vigs onder pastore bestaan. Voorstelle word gemaak om ‘n interdissiplinêre span van regskenners, kenners van die epidemie , sielkundiges en ander kenners te gebruik om voorligtingsessies aan die pastore van hierdie kerkgroep aan te bied.

Thesis (MPhil (Industrial Psychology. Africa Centre for HIV/AIDS Management)) – University of Stellenbosch, 2011.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of this research was to identify the effect of poor adherence to treatment of people living with HIV/AIDS. Due to the rise in HIV/AIDS related deaths this study tried to establish whether the support systems of People living with HIV/AIDS (PLWA) are in line with the actual needs of PLWA to adhere to effective treatment therapy. The researcher made use of a semi-structured interview to collect the required information. The findings of this study shows that certain obstacles prevent PLWA to adhere effectively to treatment and that these patients should be assisted in whatever way to overcome these obstacles to adhere effectively. Effective adherence to treatment therapy should further be enhanced through the implementation of good HIV/AIDS care practice that encourages patient involvement.

AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die studie het ten doel om vas te stel waarom persone met MIV/VIGS nie gunstig op terapie reageer nie, asook om die uitwerking van hierdie ongunstige reaksie te bepaal. In die lig van die styging in MIV/VIGS verwante sterftes poog hierdie studie verder om vas te stel of die huidige ondersteuningsisteme van persone met MIV/VIGS voldoen aan die eintlike behoeftes van sodanige persone om optimale reaksie op terapie te verseker. Inligting is met behulp van `n semi-gestruktureerde onderhoud verkry. Die studie het bevind dat sekere struikelblokke persone met MIV/VIGS verhoed om gunstig op terapie te reageer en dat sodanige persone ondersteun moet word om daardie struikelblokke te oorkom ten einde gunstige reaksie op behandeling te verseker. Hierdie ondersteuning behoort aangevul te word deur die instelling van gesonde MIV/VIGS ondersteuningspraktyke wat pasiënt-betrokkenheid insluit.
