Introduction: migrant mine workers are susceptible
to engage in risky sexual behaviour due to their high
mobility, putting at risk their families and home
communities. Because comprehensive knowledge
about HIV/AIDS is a key factor in reducing HIV
infections, this study aims to understand the current...
Altered mental status (AMS) is a priority presenting sign that must be assessed in HIV-infected, febrile children, yet diagnosis is difficult in areas with limited diagnostic capacity. Malaria and bacterial meningitis have been reported as the most common causes of AMS in febrile children presenting to t...
Traditional healers are commonly utilised throughout sub-Saharan Africa instead of - and in concert with - biomedical facilities. Traditional healers are trusted providers and prominent community members and could be important partners in improving engagement with HIV services in endemic contexts. Our st...
