Abstract
Insider and outsider positionality: Reflexive log on a supervision research partnership on HIV-seropositive patients’ adherence on antiretrovirals
THEME 3: Strategies toward the normative development of society
SUB 3.1 Promoting egalitarianism in intimate and other relationships as responses to Gender-based violence and femicide
Oral Presentation
Abstract
The study that informs this reflexive log, interrogates a HIV-seropositive supervisor and HIV-seronegative supervisee’s relationship while engaging in a qualitative master’s study on the Factors affecting adult patients’ adherence on antiretroviral therapy at Municipality clinics in Alfred Duma Local Municipality, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

Both team members narratives explore their insider/outsider positionality that is based on honest disclosure and their transparency while highlighting their challenges, similarities, and strengths in an endeavour to develop and complete an ethically sound, and relevant study.

This was achieved through the use of reflexive bracketing, reciprocal communication, disclosure of both positionalities and HIV status, a respectful research relationship and the recognition of the fluid relationship of both.

The research team recommends that such honest disclosure of both positionalities from the onset, provides opportunities for discordant supervisor-supervisee relationships to pursue and engage in more HIV research and destigmatise HIV and other chronic and sexually related illnesses.
