“…Since the beginning of the HIV epidemic, the role of the health system as well as HIV stigma in all its dimensions have been considered as the most potentially influential barriers that PLWHIV face [44]. Stigma has been defined as i) anticipated, ii) enacted and iii) internalized or “self-stigma”.…”

BackgroundThe implementation of quality HIV control programs is crucial for the achievement of the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets and to motivate people living with HIV (PLWHIV) to link and remain in HIV-care. The aim of this mixed method cross-sectional study was to estimate the linkage and long-term retention in care of PLWHIV and to identify factors potentially interfering along the HIV-care continuum in southern Mozambique.MethodsA home-based semi-structured interview was conducted in 2015 to explore barriers and facilitators to the HIV-care cascade among individuals that had been newly HIV-diagnosed in community testing campaigns in 2010 or 2012. Linkage and long-term retention were estimated retrospectively through client self-reports and clinical records. Cohen's Kappa coefficient was calculated to measure the agreement between participant self-reported and documented cascade outcomes.ResultsAmong the 112 interviewed participants, 24 (21.4%) did not disclose their HIV-positive serostatus to the interviewer. While 84 (75.0%) self-reported having enrolled in care, only 69 (61.6%) reported still being in-care 3–5 years after diagnosis of which 17.4% reported having disengaged and re-engaged. An important factor affecting optimal continuum in HIV-care was the impact of the fear-based authoritarian relationship between the health system and the patient that could act as both driver and barrier.ConclusionSpecial attention should be given to quantify and understand repeated cycles of patient disengagement and re-engagement in HIV-care. Strategies to improve the relationship between the health system and patients are still needed in order to optimally engage PLWHIV for long-term periods.

“…Normally, these new arrivals settle in the same neighbourhoods as the traditional working class and the stigmas that have historically fallen to this class now fall on the migrants. In other words, the working class, as a strategy for getting rid of stigma and repositioning itself in society, reproduces marginal roles towards those who are a little worse off than themselves (Bourdieu, 1979;Goffman, 1963Goffman, /1986. At this point, it is necessary to highlight here, as a fourth point of violence that normally also affect these peripheral spaces, the appearance of mafias and corruption as vivid images that represent neoliberalism.…”

“…Normally, these new arrivals settle in the traditional working class neighbourhoods, and the stigmas that have historically fallen on the working class now fall on them. In other words, the working class, as a strategy for getting rid of stigma and repositioning itself in society, reproduces marginal roles towards those who are a little worse off than themselves (Bourdieu, 1977;Goffman, 1986). Therefore, it is necessary to analyse the migratory processes that are generated in our societies as a key point for understanding the sociability of youth street groups.…”

This text presents the key concepts of the TRANSGANG project in the form of answers to seven research questions: what, when, who, why, where, how and what for. We start by defining the conceptual triangle configured by the title: Transnational Gangs as agents of Mediation (What). The central chapters give the historical context: Neoliberal States (When); the central study subjects: Gangs (Who); the proactive approach: Mediation (Why); the border spaces to be researched in the three regions: the Americas, North Africa and Southern Europe (Where); and the methodological perspective adopted (How). The final concluding chapter explores the expected impact of the research, from resistance to resilience through empowerment (What For). The text includes a complete list of related literature ordered by topics and regions, and a specific Glossary.

“…Too much of the book is a collection of anecdotes about stigma troubles, and many of these anecdotes are not especially illuminating … And although this material is interlaced with such conceptual distinctions as … social identity and personal identity; prestige symbols and stigma symbols; cognitive and social recognition, it does not seem to me that the promise of the preface is effectively fulfilled, namely the promise of a parsimonious description within a single conceptual scheme. (Seeman :770)…”
