The Need for Community-Centered Intervention Strategies on Promoting Health Living in Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) in South Africa
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Equally, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are significant global health concerns, especially in low- and middle-income countries where the burden of both conditions is rising. In particular, making it essential to develop comprehensive health promotion strategies This narrative review aims to explore the role of community-centered intervention strategies in promoting healthy living among individuals with T2DM and HIV.
Methods: The review systematically analyzed literature from peer-reviewed journals and grey literature, focusing on studies that implemented community-based strategies, such as health education, peer support, and physical activity programs, targeting individuals with T2DM and those living with HIV and T2DM.
Results: Evidence suggests that community-centered interventions significantly improve health outcomes, including better glycemic control, reduced viral load, and increased physical activity levels. Peer-led initiatives and culturally tailored programs showed greater success in maintaining long-term adherence to lifestyle modifications compared to conventional clinic-based care.
Conclusion: Community-centered interventions hold great potential in promoting healthier living for individuals with T2DM and HIV. Future programs should prioritize culturally relevant, scalable models to ensure sustainability and inclusivity, addressing the dual challenges posed by T2DM and HIV in vulnerable populations.
