“…Efforts to contain the HIV epidemic after 2000 were stalled by the South African government’s refusal to make ART available at public health-care facilities nationwide [58, 59]. This refusal was motivated by AIDS denialism among government officials, who claimed that HIV was not the cause of AIDS, that ART was toxic, and that the spread of HIV was being over-sensationalized [60, 61]. During this time, the adult HIV prevalence increased to 15.2% [49] and was as high as 29.5% among pregnant women attending antenatal clinics [48].…”

We propose a method for analyzing repeated residential movements based on graphical loglinear models. This method allows an explicit representation of residential presence and absence patterns from several areas without defining mobility measures. We make use of our method to analyze data from one of the most comprehensive demographic surveillance sites in Africa that is characterized by high adult HIV prevalence, high levels of poverty and unemployment and frequent residential changes. Between 2004 and 2016, residential changes were recorded for 8,857 men over 35,500.01 person-years, and for 12,158 women over 57,945.35 person-years. These individuals were HIV negative at baseline. Over the study duration, there were a total of 806 HIV seroconversions in men, and 2,458 HIV seroconversions in women. Our method indicates that establishing a residence outside the rural study area is a strong predictor of HIV seroconversion in men (OR = 2.003, 95% CI = [1.718,2.332]), but not in women. Residing inside the rural study area in a single or in multiple locations is a less significant risk factor for HIV acquisition in both men and women compared to moving outside the rural study area.

“…7 In South Africa, this movement was particularly strong due to the perceived need to challenge the government of the time's denialist position on HIV/AIDS and the need to and expand access to treatment. 8 This approach has resulted in people living with HIV in some settings becoming advocates for treatment and seeing themselves as belonging to a global community of people on treatment, with the notion of ‘therapeutic citizenship’ being used to describe this appropriation of ART as a set of rights and responsibilities. 7…”
