“…The study was designed in such a way that risks of breaking confidentiality were minimised. The researcher has to ensure that the right to privacy and anonymity is upheld (Streubert & Carpenter 2011 ; Tolich 2008 ; Willig 2008 ). To minimise threats to internal validity, the researcher facilitated all the data collection.…”

“…In qualitative research, ethical conduct involves accountability to all different stakeholders and the unanticipated ethical concerns related to the ever-changing expectations of the study (Streubert & Carpenter 2011 ). In this study, the participants’ rights were observed in accordance with the international ethical principles as stipulated in the Belmont Report 1979 (Streubert & Carpenter 2011 ; Tolich 2008 ), the Medical Research Council Guidelines on Ethics for Medical Research and Guidelines for Good Practice in the Conduct of Clinical Trials in Human Participants in South Africa. Focus was on ensuring absolute protection and confidentiality of prospective participants, particularly as the subject matter related to HIV/AIDS is sensitive and can be a source of stigma for affected individuals.…”

BackgroundThe South African government intervened by implementing the prevention of mother–to-child transmission programme (PMTCT) to curb the HIV transmission from mother to child during and after pregnancy. The PMTCT programme has been at the forefront of global prevention efforts since 1998. Without treatment, the risk of transmission ranges from one in five to one in two newborns; however, the risk of mother-to-child transmission can be reduced to as low as 2%–5% with evidenced interventions. Sub-Saharan Africa, and most particularly South Africa, is the most affected by the pandemic despite having the largest financial investment in PMTCT services across the continent.ObjectivesThe objectives of the study were to describe and explore the female perspectives of male inclusion in the prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission programme in KwaZulu-Natal.MethodologyA qualitative, descriptive, explorative study was conducted through in-depth individual interview of pregnant women until data saturation.ResultsThe findings of the study revealed that the existing design of public hospitals was not wholly conducive to facilitating male inclusion in maternal and child health services. Resources were largely insufficient to support the participation of pregnant mothers and any attempts to support the inclusion of males needed to be based on a clear increase in service provision.ConclusionThe study recommended male partners’ inclusion in the prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission to support effective management of HIV in pregnancy and PMTCT programmes. The inclusion of men will provide the holistic support needed by pregnant women on PMTCT programmes.
