Being ALHIV: What do we know about Adolescents Living with HIV in South Africa? - HSRC Seminar

24 November 2020

Online seminar

Overview: This webinar is hosted by the HSRC and its collaborators from the University of Cape Town’s AIDS and Society Research Unit in partnership with the South African Medical Research Council (SAMRC) and UNFPA. As we approach the fourth decade of the HIV pandemic, there are still glaring gaps in the evidence-base regarding the mode of transmission, health, behaviours, sexual practices and lived experiences of adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) in South Africa. The HSRC and the UCT’s AIDS and Society Research Unit implemented a project to further understand the context and lived experiences of adolescents aged 10-19 years living with HIV in South Africa. The project was also aimed at informing the SAMRC's Social Impact Bond (SIB) initiative that focuses on HIV interventions to support adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in South Africa. This was a mixed methods study with different components. The groups analysed secondary data from two data sources – the South African National HIV Prevalence, Incidence, Behaviour and Communication Surveys 2005-2017 and the South African Mzantsi Wakho study which is a longitudinal study on HIV treatment and sexual health among ALHIV (in operation since 2013). Findings were contextualised with a review of the literature on ALHIV in sub-Saharan Africa with an emphasis on South Africa.
