Reviewing the situation: men and antiretroviral treatment in Soweto, South Africa

There have been great strides in increasing access to antiretroviral treatment for HIV-positive people in
South Africa. However it has been observed that men are not accessing treatment to the same extent as
women. In Soweto only 30% of the people accessing treatment are men, where the expected rate would be
around 45%. Whilst there have been some studies observing treatment uptake, they do not explain the
behavioural component.
