Integrating legal services into antenatal and postnatal care for HIV positive and HIV negative women in South Africa S. Maman 1, D. Holness 2, D. Moodley 3, A.K.

Background and Methods Background – Pregnant women, particularly HIV+ women, face health & social risks – Contact with the health care system during pregnancy represents an opportunity to address the legal and social needs of women – However clinics are often not equipped to address non-clinical needs – Access to legal services for poor women has been a major challenge – Bringing legal services into health care setting during pregnancy is one approach that could prevent HIV and address issues faced by women Methods – The South Africa HIV Antenatal Post-test Support Study (SAHAPS) is a randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of enhanced post- test support for HIV+ and HIV- pregnant women in Durban. – 1,500 women have been enrolled & randomized to receive either standard PMTCT services or a model that includes enhanced post-test support – Onsite legal services is one component of post-test support for women.

Results and Conclusion Among 611 women offered legal services, 69 (11.3%) opened a legal case, and 25 women opened more than one case. 83 cases were opened, including child maintenance (n=39), protection orders (n=10), labor disputes (n=10), child related legal issues (n=7), discrimination (n=5), housing (n=5) and smaller numbers of other cases. More HIV + women than HIV- women opened cases (19% vs. 10%, p<.001). The types of legal cases did not differ by HIV status, except that 4/5 of the discrimination cases were opened by HIV+ women. This study demonstrates the feasibility of integrating legal services into a health care setting, however lengthy judicial process is a major challenge to integration The higher uptake of services among HIV+ women suggests that their legal needs may be amplified as a result of their status
