South Africa has one of the highest HIV prevalence rates in the world, with women and girls bearing the greatest burden. Although HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is effective, data on its implementation in rural South Africa remain limited. Our study explores how female nurses in Msinga, South Africa, navigate communal hopes and anxieties regarding PrEP for women. Using an intersectional framework, we conducted semistructured interviews with health care providers and engaged in thematic analysis with a sample of female nurses employed in Msinga, South Africa, to understand their perspectives on PrEP and HIV's impact on their communities. Four major themes emerged: (a) rural poverty's impact on women, (b) the enduring role of traditional medicine, (c) discordance between community knowledge and practice, and (d) communal hopes and PrEP accessibility. Nurses in Msinga, South Africa, highlighted PrEP's potential for women, particularly young girls, emphasizing the need for gender-specific, community-based PrEP implementation to address HIV in rural South African communities.

These dilemmas require nurses to navigate complex situations where competing ethical considerations pull them in different directions.

Obedience

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...
