Reframing the approach to heterosexual men in the HIV epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Despite the body of evidence on heterosexual men's inequitable access to HIV prevention, testing and antiretroviral therapy (ART), and poorer viral suppression in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), public health responses to address this gap remain surprisingly sparse. Gender stereotypes prevail, implicitly blaming men for infecting women with HIV, and for their own health outcomes due to "poorer health-seeking behaviour".
