Abstract:
This PhD project seeks to advance understanding of male partner involvement in preventing perinatal HIV transmission in Indonesia, an area that remains underexplored in Indonesia despite growing evidence of its importance. Addressing this gap, the study will synthesise global evidence on male partner involvement and perinatal HIV prevention and explore Indonesian perspectives using a constructivist grounded theory approach.
