Because of the time it took for treatment to be developed and become widely available, the epidemic provided an unusual window of opportunity for non-medical responses to a major health crisis.\u00a0Some of these non-medical responses were extraordinarily successful in advancing aspects of HIV\/AIDS management at certain moments and in certain contexts. This was not always the case, however. In the interests of generating lessons that might inform future health responses, this talk seeks to identify and problematise some of the unstated and less helpful conceptualisations underpinning many interventions seeking to promote sexual behaviour change, service access and treatment adherence through psycho-social and community level strategies. About the speaker Professor Catherine Campbell is Head of Department of Social Psychology at the London School of Economics (UK), and Director of the Health, Community and Development Group. Her work focuses on the role of various forms of community mobilisation (from small scale community mobilisation to global social movements) in facilitating health-enhancing lifestyles, health service access and adherence to medical advice and treatment \u2013 as well as wider social change. Her foci have included HIV\/AIDs, mental health and women\u2019s health.<\/p>\n<p>at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/eventful.com\/durban\/venues\/heard-offices-\/V0-001-009991130-1?utm_source=apis&#038;utm_medium=apim&#038;utm_campaign=apic\" rel=\"nofollow\">HEARD Offices<\/a><br \/>\nUniversity of KwaZulu-Natal, Westville Campus, J block, Level 4, , 1 University Road<br \/>\nDurban, South Africa<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/add-your-event\/\">Add your <em>South Africa<\/em> event for free here<\/a> on MyZA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Women\u2019s agency, social change &#038; human rights &#8211; lessons from HIV\/AIDS A South Africa Event on 2016-03-17 10:00:00 The history of the response to HIV and AIDS in South Africa has seen a complex mix of overlapping psychological, social and biomedical responses over time, as it has progressed from being regarded as an incurable and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[9840],"tags":[2454,2325,3445,12441,3392,5109,1870,3527,5250],"class_list":{"0":"post-65752","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-eventful","7":"tag-agency","8":"tag-change","9":"tag-from","10":"tag-hivaids","11":"tag-human","12":"tag-lessons","13":"tag-rights","14":"tag-social","15":"tag-womens","16":"entry"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65752"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65752\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65752"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65752"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
