Linking men who test HIV-positive to care and enabling them to remain on treatment and achieve stable viral suppression is a major challenge. It is vital therefore to improving linkages to care, and once in care, supporting continued adherence to treatment. These include:
- Simplify linkage and access to treatment & care (e.g. extended hours, appointments, male corners, community distribution)
- Utilise male-sensitive treatment & adherence messaging
- Scale up adherence and psychological support for men & boys (initial & ongoing)

Men’s perception of treatment as prevention in South Africa: Implications for engagement in HIV care and treatment.
While South Africa provides universal access to treatment, HIV testing and antiretroviral therapy (ART) uptake remains low, particularly among men. Little is known about community awareness of the effects of treatment on preventing transmission, and how this information might impact HIV service utilization. This qualitative study explored understandings of treatment as prevention among rural South African men.
