HIV after 40 in rural South Africa

Investigators: Nicole Angotti, PI, Jill Williams, Co-I, Sanyu Mojola, Co-I, Xavier Gómez-Olivé, Co-I.

Description: In early 2013 we will begin fieldwork for a new project called “HIV after 40 in rural South Africa” that follows a recently completed HIV prevalence study conducted in the Agincourt sub-district of Mpumalanga Province (South Africa) where we found alarmingly high rates of HIV infection among older adults. HIV after 40 will be a qualitative follow up study to the survey, that looks more closely at the life histories (e.g., sexual and therapeutic lives) of a nested subsample of study participants.

Coverage: South Africa.
