After 30 years of speculation about whether the three month shot makes women more likely to contract HIV, we finally have an answer.
Dylan Bush was a health journalist at Bhekisisa from February 2016 to September 2023.
A large chunk of our reporting focuses on HIV. Since the launch of Bhekisisa in 2013, we’ve covered HIV in-depth — from the impact of the virus on former president Nelson Mandela’s family to the advances in antiretroviral treatment and anti-HIV pills and injections. We’ve also looked at the impact of inequality and discrimination on the spread of HIV, the link between gender-based violence and HIV — and ways to fix it.
