Health programming for men who have sex with men (MSM) in South Africa has been ignored or absent until fairly recently, despite this population being at high risk for HIV acquisition and transmission. Anova Health Institute, with support from the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)/United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and in collaboration with the South African National Department of Health, launched the first state sector MSM-targeted sexual health clinic in 2010. The clinic has been successful in attracting and retaining MSM in care, and lessons learned are described in this article. Components contributing to the creation of MSM-appropriate healthcare services are discussed.

ABSTRACT Objective: This brief report analyzes a first-episode psychosis (FEP) clinic’s shift from in-person treatment to the provision of services through telemental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. The feasibility of using this technology was examined by assessing client engagement. Methods: The authors created and implemented procedures for the clinic’s transition to telemental health. Once clients’ consent was obtained, a HIPAA compliant platform was used to continue service provision. Results: Client engagement during this period improved compared to the same quarter the previous year. Telemental health was also practical for providing groups and other supportive services to meet clients’ needs. Conclusion: Telemental health is an effective approach to providing care at an FEP clinic during a pandemic. Successes and lessons learned from the first wave of the pandemic can be used to prevent an uptick in symptoms and sustain engagement for this vulnerable population during the anticipated second wave.
