BACKGROUND: HIV is transmitted more effectively during anal intercourse (AI) than
vaginal intercourse (VI). However, patterns of heterosexual AI practice and its
contribution to South Africa's generalized epidemic remain unclear. We aimed to
determine how common and frequent heterosexual AI is in South Africa. METHODS: We
searched for studies reporting the proportion practising heterosexual AI
(prevalence) and/or the number of AI and unprotected AI (UAI) acts (frequency) in
South Africa from 1990 to 2015. Stratified random-effects meta-analysis by
sub-groups was used to produce pooled estimates and assess the influence of
participant and study characteristics on AI prevalence. We also estimated the
fraction of all sex acts which were AI or UAI and compared condom use during VI
and AI. RESULTS: Of 41 included studies, 31 reported on AI prevalence and 14 on
frequency, over various recall periods. AI prevalence was high across different
recall periods for sexually active general-risk populations (e.g.
lifetime = 18.4% [95%CI:9.4-27.5%], three-month = 20.3% [6.1-34.7%]), but tended
to be even higher in higher-risk populations such as STI patients and female sex
workers (e.g. lifetime = 23.2% [0.0-47.4%], recall period not stated = 40.1%
[36.2-44.0%]). Prevalence was higher in studies using more confidential interview
methods. Among general and higher-risk populations, 1.2-40.0% and 0.7-21.0% of
all unprotected sex acts were UAI, respectively. AI acts were as likely to be
condom protected as vaginal acts. CONCLUSION: Reported heterosexual AI is common
but variable among South Africans. Nationally and regionally representative
sexual behaviour studies that use standardized recall periods and confidential
interview methods, to aid comparison across studies and minimize reporting bias,
are needed. Such data could be used to estimate the extent to which AI
contributes to South Africa's HIV epidemic.
