Experience with Contraceptive Dosage Forms and Interest in Novel PrEP Technologies in Women.

New pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) strategies tailored to the needs and expectations of individuals at risk of HIV acquisition are needed. In the CAPRISA 082 prospective cohort study in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, sexually active women aged 18 to 30 reported, through interviewer-administered questionnaires, on their prior contraceptive experience and interest in both approved and potential future PrEP dosage forms (oral PrEP, long-acting injectable PrEP, and PrEP implants) between March 2016 and February 2018. Univariable and multivariable Poisson regression models with robust standard errors were used to detect associations between women's prior and current contraceptive use and interest in PrEP options.

Perspectives of healthcare workers in South Africa on COVID-19 vaccination passports.

Background: Following the rollout of several effective vaccines against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), many countries have introduced vaccination passports or certificates as a means of certifying that an individual has been vaccinated against, is immune to, or is presently uninfected with COVID-19. An extensive ethical debate has ensued.

Aim: To determine the perspectives of South African healthcare workers (HCWs) on the implementation of COVID-19 vaccination passports (C19VPs) in South Africa (SA).
