A Longitudinal Mixed-Methods Investigation of Masculinity, Stigma, and Disclosure on Men's ART Initiation in South Africa

Studying if men living with HIV who hold unhelpful idealized beliefs about masculinity have more difficulty disclosing their HIV status, and in turn, are less likely to be retained in HIV care. This study is conducted in collaboration with the University of Cape Town and the University of Maryland and is funded by the US National Institute of Mental Health (Grant no. R21MH123280).
