Aim: analyze the process of formation of social representations built by young Catholics on HIV prevention. Method: This is a qualitative and quantitative study, carried out on Facebook and based on Social Representation Theory. The in-depth interview was used as a data collection technique, which was processed in Alceste software, allowing the analysis of lexical content. Results: The representations of young people about HIV prevention, shaped in the systems of cognition, point out that the object is signified as a phenomenon intrinsic to the sphere of sexuality, influenced by both the Catholic religion and progressive knowledge. Discussion: Influences on the formation of representations of young people about HIV prevention reveal dilemmas, pointing to the formation of a strange element due to the duality of structured social thinking. Conclusion: The influence of Catholic doctrine implies confronted dilemmas about safe sexual practice and interferes with HIV prevention: this is the greatest challenge.

This article reports the findings of a qualitative study that explored what white and Indian students at a South African university felt and knew about HIV prevention. The study explored the knowledge, perceptions and attitudes of white and Indian male students at the University of KwaZulu-Natal’s (UKZN) Howard College towards medical male circumcision (MMC) as an HIV prevention procedure. Thestudy was prompted, in part, by a cynical tweet of Justine Sacco, which implied that HIV is an exclusively black disease. More substantially, the research aimed to fill a gap in studies of non-black student demographics with regard to HIV prevention. The level of knowledge and the attitudes of white and Indian male students were explored to establish the acceptability of HIV prevention amongst these two demographics. To what extent do non-black students care about HIV prevention and reflect on HIV prevalence amongst themselves? The prevention method selected for the study was MMC – a choice informed by UKZN’s formaladoption and roll out, in 2013, of MMC as its latest HIV prevention strategy for students and staff. The study, which sampled 40 students, was rooted in the Health Belief Model, which explains health behaviour change in terms of barriers, benefits and cues to action, as well as the Social Ecology Model, which recognises the interwoven relationship between individuals and their greater environment. A qualitative, interpretive, exploratory research design wasemployed. Data were collected using semi-structured interview questions, and analysed thematically. The findings suggest a relatively widespread perception that white and Indian students are not at risk of HIV, demonstrating that the association of HIV with a specific race is both a sad fact and a sign of enduring prejudice and stigma.

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a promising HIV prevention strategy in which antiretroviral medications are taken to prevent HIV infection. PrEP was approved as an HIV prevention method in the United States in 2012 for individuals aged 18 years and older. Since its approval, there has been a growing amount of online content about PrEP targeted to general, non-medical, audiences. However, this online information is under-studied and under-evaluated. Two raters catalogued and coded PrEP material written in the English language from 61 websites and 58 YouTube videos for educational content, credibility, usability, and interactivity. The online material was catalogued and searched for between September 2017 and April 2018. Online PrEP material showed deficiencies in each of these content areas, however, there is a significant amount of publicly accessible online content available about PrEP. This content could be packaged, used, and tested in a prevention intervention to improve PrEP uptake and engagement in care.
