“…Although this greater focus on ejaculatory control among sub‐Saharan men has no self‐evident interpretation, we surmise that it might be related to the low prevalence of oral sex in such regions (e.g. 2%–20% vs. >75% in the USA) (Kerwin, Foley, Thornton, Basinga, & Chinkhumba, 2011). As such, a (female) partner's orgasmic response and pleasure may rely more heavily on penile–vaginal stimulation, a situation typically requiring prolonged intercourse for the woman and thus greater ejaculatory control by the man (Rowland, Hevesi, Conway, & Kolba, 2020; Rowland & Kolba, 2019; Rowland, Sullivan, Hevesi, & Hevesi, 2018).…”

Criteria for premature ejaculation (PE) were established using Western‐based samples, yet these criteria are applied worldwide for its diagnosis. This study (a) determined whether men from various world regions differ/agree on their views of ejaculation latency (ELT) and their perceptions of ejaculatory control and bother/distress, the three criteria for PE, and (b) compared PE and non‐PE men across worldwide regions on these measures. 1,065 participants were recruited via social media to respond to a survey about men's typical, ideal and PE ELTs, about their own ELT, and about perceptions of ejaculatory control and bother/distress related to PE. Responses from men from four worldwide regions were compared to a reference group of North American/European men, and PE men were compared with non‐PE men across three world regions. Results showed that most world region groups showed similarity in ELT estimations. The Sub‐Saharan group focused more heavily on the importance of ejaculatory control. Both ELT and ejaculatory control differed between PE and non‐PE groups in all regions assessed. In conclusion, perceived ELTs and ejaculatory control show substantial consistency across world regions despite geo‐cultural variations and traditions. Such findings argue for the universality of the concepts of ELT, control and bother/distress related to PE.

“…The approach also encouraged individuals and couples to get tested for HIV. However, the ABC approach has had limited success in most sub-Saharan African countries (Kerwin et al, 2011). In 2009, Zimbabwe adopted voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) as an additional HIV prevention strategy to the existing ABC behavior change model.…”

“…Abstinence, monogamy and condom use HIV prevention since the 1980s has been grounded in "ABC" approaches which encourage abstinence, adhering to one sexual partner (be faithful), and the use of condoms (Kerwin, Folley, Thornton, Basinga, & Chinkhumba, 2011). People who adhere to ABC are presumed to have a lower risk of HIV (Kerwin, et al, 2011). However, women in Malawi and other African societies have limited control over their husbands' faithfulness due to lack of agency and voice in sexual matters (Baxter & Abdool Karim, 2016).…”

HIV/AIDS among young women in Malawi: A review of risk factors and Interventions

Young women aged 10-24 years in Malawi currently experience HIV prevalence of about 5%. This high HIV prevalence amongst young women reflects a heart-breaking feature of the serious epidemic in southern Africa for the past five years. Given the serious situation it is vital to understand the risk factors faced by young women of Malawi, and further understanding of the interventions necessary to address the problem. A narrative review set out to explore the literature, retrieved from institutional reports and peer-reviewed publications, on the factors increasing young women’s vulnerability to HIV in Malawi, and on interventions aimed at reducing their risk. Young women in Malawi are particularly vulnerable to HIV infection as a result of poverty, harmful gender norms, and economic and social inequities. Whilst there are some interventions in place, in the face of such a disproportionately difficult social and socio-economic environment, lack of resources and other systemic gaps, these are not sufficiently effective. Given the scale of the problem and the difficult environment experienced by young women, effective HIV prevention interventions remain critical. Further research is required to establish appropriate and effective interventions, and to address the social determinants of health, especially in relation to gender and rights.
