“…A recent UNAIDS gender-related report, described some women´s barriers towards HIV prevention/treatment services, such as cultural beliefs, unequal power gender relations, stigma or mistrust (UNAIDS, 2014b). Thus, gender-related and cultural barriers need to be first overcome to improve the female adherence to any of the available prevention strategies, including condoms (Carlos et al, 2015;Green, 2011;Ogden et al, 2011).…”

In the Democratic Republic of Congo no previous studies have assessed the factors associated with different patterns of condom use and with multiple sexual partners and the association between condom use simultaneously taking into account multiple sexual partnerships, and HIV infection. We carried out a prospective case-control study. From December 2010 until June 2012, 1,630 participants aged 15-49 getting HIV Voluntary Counseling and Testing in a hospital in Kinshasa were selected. Cases were new HIV diagnosis and controls were HIVnegative participants detected along the study period. We recruited 274 cases and 1,340 controls that were interviewed about HIV-related knowledge, attitudes and behaviours.Among cases there was a high prevalence of multiple lifetime and concurrent sexual partnerships (89.8% and 20.4%, respectively) and most cases never used condoms with only 1.5% using them consistently. Condom use and multiple partnerships were associated with male, single and high-educated participants. An association was found between multiple lifetime partners and `any condom use´ (OR=2.99; 95%CI: 2.14-4.19) but not with consistent use. Both having two or more multiple concurrent sexual partners or not using condoms were variables similarly and highly associated to HIV risk. The association found between having two or more concurrent sexual partners and HIV was slightly higher (OR=3.58, 95%CI:2.31-5-56) than the association found between never condom use and HIV (OR=3.38, 95%CI:1.15-9.93). We found a high prevalence of multiple lifetime sexual partners and an extremely high prevalence of inconsistent condom use, both strongly associated with HIV seropositivity.Local programs would benefit from comprehensive interventions targeting all behavioural and sociocultural determinants.

“…The challenge for NGOs of translating ideas about gender from the world of international donors into multiple diverse social contexts is well recognised, including the difficulties of translating the word 'gender' itself (Braidotti, 2002;Haraway, 1991). In global health, urgent calls are now being made for research on pathways linking gender to health in specific contexts following evidence of differences in the social, political and economic contexts in which global health programmes are implemented (Ogden, Gupta, Warner, & Fisher, 2011). The complexities of translating gender into local NGO practice provides a rich case study not offered by other policy issues, for example healthcare provision or wealth distribution where objects of policy are more easily defined.…”

Abstract:This paper looks at what is lost and gained through the process of translating international policy from a global to a local space. It does this by sharing results from a multisite ethnographic study of gender practices in foreign-funded South African health organisations. This study identifies a number of tactics used by practitioners to deal with the funding constraints and unique knowledge systems that characterise local spaces, including: using policy to appeal to donors; merging gender with better resourced programmes; and redirecting funding allocations. These tactics point to how practitioners are adopting, manipulating and transforming international policies in order to suit their everyday working realities.

“…Traditional models and theories of behaviour in public health often emphasise individuallevel influences and rational decision-making and, as a result, many HIV-prevention and education programmes focus on changing attitudes, knowledge and skills, often without considering larger structural contexts (Adimora and Auerbach 2010; Barnett and Parkhurst 2005;Esacove 2012;Ogden et al 2011). Sociocultural influences such as masculinity ideology (men's beliefs about the importance of adhering to culturally defined standards for male behaviour) may also have a significant impact on HIV-related sexual-risk behaviours, particularly among Black Americans (Adimora and Schoenbach 2002;Cochran and Mays 1993).…”

Black men in the USA experience disproportionately high rates of HIV infection, particularly in the Southeastern part of the country. We conducted 90 qualitative in-depth interviews with Black men living in the state of Georgia and analysed the transcripts using Sexual Script Theory to: (1) characterise the sources and content of sexual scripts that Black men were exposed to during their childhood and adolescence and (2) describe the potential influence of formative scripts on adult HIV sexual risk behaviour. Our analyses highlighted salient sources of cultural scenarios (parents, peers, pornography, sexual education and television), interpersonal scripts (early sex- play, older female partners, experiences of child abuse) and intrapsychic scripts that participants described. Stratification of participant responses based on sexual-risk behaviour revealed that lower- and higher-risk men described exposure to similar scripts during their formative years; however, lower-risk men reported an ability to cognitively process and challenge the validity of risk-promoting scripts that they encountered. Implications for future research are discussed.
