iPrevent was conducted in two informal peri‐urban communities, Nyanga and Masiphumelele, near Cape Town, South Africa. Established as residential areas for black South Africans during apartheid [18], the communities are characterized by extreme overcrowding, unemployment and endemic violence. Both suffer from a generalized HIV epidemic with prevalence currently 13.1% [19, 20]. The Desmond Tutu HIV Foundation (DTHF), the South African‐based partner in this research, has well‐established research sites and community advisory boards (CABs) in both locations.
